Matthew Downing


My zest for health and fitness grew from a desire to create a better version of myself. During this process, I uncovered a new passion to teach others and help them along their own journey of health and wellness. I became a certified trainer in 2013 and continue to educate myself for the betterment of my clientele. I am committed to empowering each person with the tools necessary to achieve their goals; to consistently educate and encourage everyone to make that goal a reality. Why? Because anyone is capable of change. No one is the same, which is why I create individualized programs for each person to achieve their goals. Evolution is a continuous process, but it starts with the first step.  

I love traveling around the globe, cooking, landscaping, and hanging out with my best buddies, my son and my wife. You can also find me from time to time around the campfire. 

Empowerment, education, encouragement, and evolution; these are the steps and the phases to create a new you. My pledge is to empower my clients to achieve their goals and to educate them with the tools necessary to make that happen. My commitment to each of my clients is to consistently ignite their motivation during every step of the process. Together, with work and determination, a new you will evolve.
