Marra Strength

Matteo is a great trainer! He does a really good job encouraging you to take ownership over your own health and fitness. He encourages proper form, pushing your limits, and eating a healthy diet to reach your goals. In the past I have worked with trainers, and the thing I appreciate the most with Matteo is that his approach is non-threatening and used positive reinforcement to reach your goals.

Easy programming to follow in your own gym space. Matteo is available with any questions and feedback and is incredibly knowledgeable.Plus he doesn’t take offence if you call him names during a difficult lift! His consistent programming gets results if you simply do the work!I’m down weight, and lifting heavier every week!

Matteo is an exceptional trainer. He has an efficient approach and his advice are always well explained. I have been training for many years and worked with different personal trainers and it is the first time that I truly feel comfortable addressing all my concerns.

Matteo takes the time to listen and get to know you to build a plan that will work best for your needs and lifestyle. I was scared of injuries from strength training, but thanks to Matteo’s help, I am more versed with gym equipment and I know the form I need to hold to exercise and push myself safely. Also, as a queer person, I just feel a lot more comfortable in gym spaces and around strength equipment than I did before, and that’s really liberating. Strength training is the best! Could not recommend more!

Great first personal training experience. Matteo has a great approach and I was so surprised how in such a short period of time I managed to get stronger, lose some pounds and feel a million times better than when I started.I still can't believe that this worked without extreme dieting or extreme life style changes. I was thought to eat the right portions of (carbs, protein, fat and veggies), to listen to my body, to work out right (not more) and to allow flexibility in my diet every now and then....I got better results than doing dieting and exercise on my own for sure!I had never done weight lifting work or resistance training work and Matteo made it so easy for me. I really enjoy it now! every week I get stronger and I can see the results in how my clothes fit.I would 100% recommend Matteo and his services; the accountability, the motivation, the making things easy and approachable made a huge difference. Losing weight or getting fit is not the easiest of tasks and having some on your side to help you push yourself a bit further or to help you keep the work/efforts even when you feel less motivated seems like the best investment you can do on your health and personal goals.It is waaaay harder to get the same results by doing this alone or just by going to a gym.I'm very happy with my experience and with the results I've got with Matteo.

After being highly skeptical about exercise coaches (since I had horrible experiences with exercise coaches prior), I went for a session with Matteo and was pleasantly surprised. After a few sessions he turned my perception of exercise and coaches around... completely! With Matteo you get an education of how to do exercises properly, so you become empowered. This empowerment is important because it sticks with you when you are working out alone. Also, he is completely 100% focused on you during your session. You never feel like his mind is some other place because he honestly wants what is best for your fitness journey. I can not recommend Matteo enough as a personal coach.

I worked with Matteo for about a year while I was living in Vancouver. I can honestly say Matteo pushed me further than I could ever have gone on my own. I participated in a triathlon, and then in a powerlifting competition, like what the hell?!?! I would’ve never done it on my own, but it ended up being a great experience that I’ll definitely do again. If I was back in Vancouver I’d love to train with Matteo again, and I’d recommend him to everyone who is looking to make positive, lasting changes to their diet and fitness routine!

I really enjoyed working with Matteo, his straightforward yet intentional training plans made it easier to stay consistent and allowed for noticeable results. I found his use of a training app made tracking progress and asking for feedback easy, and his background as a trained chef gave me ideas for keeping nutrition in check. Matteo is a great trainer, I would highly recommend him to anyone.

If you are looking for a practical, no-nonsense workout curated for you by someone who knows strength training, call Matteo. Over the last one year, I have diligently followed the 3-day a week program created by Matteo and have gained strength, muscle as well as confidence in my ability to do my workout program without feeling bored or overwhelmed. This guy is a pro !

Matteo is by far one of the best trainers I've had the chance to work with and you are guaranteed to get a great workout. He knows how to get things done and provides his clients with great tools and information to keep your nutrition and workout routines in line with your goals as well. Very resourceful and knows how to keep you motivated.
