What I like the most in your coaching is surely your approachability and availability to share great knowledge, you make me feel at ease to execute the exercises as they seem easy with you, you’re really a great dude. The results I got that I hoped for were being able to do a Pull Up that I had been trying for years, and also developing my shoulders. The ones I wasn’t expecting, for sure, were the power of bracing and feeling strong, losing fear of Squatting and developing a mind muscle connection that I never had before. I never thought I would be excited every week to surpass my limits lifting weights off the floor. Thank you so much for introducing me to Powerlifting, Math!! 🦾❤️

I was a bit discouraged before I started training with Matheus. I came to him because I was fat and dysfunctional and didn’t want another conventional workout, at the end of the day I found a coach and a friend. I progressed really well and fell in love with powerlifting. I went from having a completely shortened posterior chain to someone who can deadlift 220kg, but the biggest improvement was the improvement in my quality of life. I lost weight, gained muscle, and greatly improved my strength, I naturally felt better to do anything, from a working out to simply carrying my groceries.I recommended Matheus to a lot of people and I keep recommending him because he is the coach I trust the most on the face of the earth, he really follows up with his athletes, explains things in an easy way, and I’m very grateful for all the progress that he’s helped me achieve!

In September I completed 2 years training with Matheus. I started training with him because I had trouble progressing in my lifts and that was affecting my muscle growth. Throughout this period I had phases where I was more disciplined and sometimes less (I skipped lots of hip thrusts lol). He has always been ready to bring out the best in me, and every Sunday there it was, my spreadsheet, impeccably updated (sometimes with a little motivation quote too). This dude lives in Canada and still can make himself present in my workouts, making my Squat technique better and it’s taken half of my phone’s storage 😂 (there’s videos every workout for technique assessment + perceived exertion). Matheus is a natural born supporter and knows his stuff! Thank you for the patience and for the amazing work, coach!

Results I’ve seen in the past two years have been incredible. I trained most of my life as an endurance athlete, I wanted to get into weight lifting and I really want to pack on muscle mass and in general be stronger. What has been my crowning achievement was going from 170 pounds to 205. Gaining muscle and weight felt impossible but with the proper training and diet plan, it actually came so quick naturally. The best part of training for me is having someone firstly keep me accountable and secondly give me guidance. I always had a drive to achieve my goals, but with zero guidance and no plan, all the drive in the world couldn’t have allowed me to achieve what I wanted. On top of that I’ve learned how much food matters, which is an essential part of mine and anyone else’s fitness journey. My goals starting on my journey were to gain muscle, weight and enhance my strength. My current goals are to lean out again and then continue to gain more weight and strength. I’ve achieved great milestones, I want to further continue down my path. By far my favorite goal achieved was seeing 200 on the scale for the first time in my life.

I started working out in 2017, and have been coached by Matheus since November 2020. I've had significant results since then, in my physique and weight progressions. I recommend his coaching to anyone that wants to have a better performance in the weight room, to either get stronger, for aesthetics or for health. Matt is attentive, answering and helping whenever possible, making you feel safe as he explains and assesses your workouts, and above all, has an absurd amount of knowledge about training. I learn with him everyday (🧠🤓). I feel very accomplished with his coaching, and don't see myself at any point with any other coach. I'm about to compete in powerlifting for the second time and my main goal right now is to lift the most amount of weight on the platform in 2024. It's impossible to speak about all the benefits of having Matheus as my coach and friend in just a short testimonial, if you wanna know more, swipe up! Thank you for everything Matheus, we keep going!

I’ve been Matheus’ client since the beginning, it’s been a few years. Since then, I have been accumulating good records and progressing very well. The biggest highlight and most important point of all the coaching I get is the ability to provide a specific workout for each goal, and the attention I got according to my demand. I’ve referred him to a lot of people and will keep doing it, because without any doubt, he is the best coach I know. I’m very grateful for all these years training by your side and for your friendship!

The great thing about having Matheus as your coach is that you will have the biggest champion and cheerleader for your journey. Matheus has been the most positive and supportive coach I've ever had. Throughout my journey, I have had many setbacks and each time, Matheus has been there, without judgment, ready to pick up where we left off. Matheus is more dedicated to my success than I am and has relentlessly committed to my "gains". Working with Matheus has been so easy as he communicates frequently, is approachable, and focused. He created custom programs for me that focused on my goal of building strength and lifting heavy. My favourite result so far was hitting my deadlift PR of 420 lbs on deadlift. I could never have dreamed of these results without Matheus and I will be forever grateful for the coaching he has provided and the friendship that was developed along the way.

"When I met Matheus, we were co-workers at the gym. I asked him to teach me how to lift with barbells. He taught me how to bench press, barbell row, overhead press, squat and conventional deadlift. My strength increased rapidly under supervision. He taught me so much about proper form and bracing. My deadlifts went from 95 lbs to 185 lbs! My leg press is at 400lbs now! Matheus is very knowledgeable and experienced! I would recommend him to anyone, beginners and advanced!"

Starting my fitness journey seemed scary at first mostly because I didn’t know where to start. I’m so glad that I decided to just go for it because I’ve made so much progress mentally and physically. My main goal when I started at the gym was to gain confidence in myself as it was pretty low at the time and I can truly say that I’ve achieved that. My trainer Matheus played a big role in that. He is always there to keep me going if my motivation is low. His training sessions have helped me feel more comfortable at the gym, I can truly say I wouldn’t be where I am without his assistance. Every training session that I have with him has me surprised at what I can accomplish. I have reached so many of my fitness goals already but I’m definitely not finished. Coming to the gym and working on my physical and mental health has now become a part of my daily routine!

My fitness journey began in 2014. I was in a terrible place in life; in a controlling and narcissistic relationship, completely brainwashed. I had no confidence in myself, and suffered from major anxiety and depression. I was skin and bones, and could not lift more than 50lbs. I wanted to get strong, and be able to hold my own. That’s when I joined Anytime Fitness. Within a few short months, I had found a new love; the gym! My mental health improved, and my life took a turn for the best! I set one goal after another, and crushed them. In 2016, I competed in the OPA, Bikini Division, taking home second place! It was one of my most accomplished goals to date. I decided post competition to continue with my workouts, simply for the love of the sport. In 2020, I met Coach Matheus, and we began working on improving my compound lifts, with a goal of improving overall strength and some body recomposition. When we began, my bench press was 60lbs, squat was 65lbs, and deadlift was 80lbs. A year later, I hit my one rep maxes, with bench press at 120lbs, squat at 185 lbs, and deadlift at 215lbs. Another most accomplished goal to date!

So I went from having major back problems not being able to function in my daily life to dead lifting 330 pounds in 3 months.... If I can do it, so can you.

My greatest accomplishment since working with my coach was losing 60 pounds in 6 months. I used to be 300 pounds 2 years ago and now since working out I am now at 185 pounds and I have my coach to thank and now I am close to hitting my goal of 180 pounds. I am happier than I have ever been.
