Strength Matters

I started training with Strength Matters about 15 months ago. My experience has been excellent! I’ve worked with both James and Josh. They are responsive to my needs and ensure that I am being set up for continued, long term success. I have improved in many areas and never tire of people telling me how great I look! I would highly recommend to all!!

This was my first experience with remote and international personal training. I am totally awed at my experience. I did not expect this experience to be so personable, fun, and actually customized to my needs. The coaches are top notch and I guarantee they will help you achieve your goals with efficiency and safety. They know how to get you the results if you are willing to put in the effort and follow the plan!

I started training with Strength Matters in Jan 2022.From my first contact with them I really appreciated their approach, no hard sell just an honest discussion about my goals and their strategies to help me get there, with a focus on health first that I really liked as an older athlete (50).Over nearly 20 months of training they helped me with a mix of strength, movement, flexibility and cardio training with regular assessments and check ins with my coach to keep an eye on progress. As my own fitness and event goals evolved so did the training plans enabling me to complete both a middle distance triathlon and my first ultra marathon in summer 2023. I honestly think i'm the fittest and possibly strongest i've ever been.Along the way I felt supported any time I had questions or needed to make some adjustments for work/family life and really importantly also had fun. The training never got boring and even on those inevitable days where my training didn't quite match the plan for some reason I always felt supported to put a bad day behind me and keep going forward.I highly recommend Strength Matters to anyone looking for an online but personalised coach to help you work towards better health and and fitness.Scott

I've been a member of Strength Matters since 2015, having met James where we had a discussion about Fitness and I liked his philosophy.In 2016 I decided to leave the corporate world and become a fitness professional and James was a great sounding board and source of advice.Even now with 7 years in the industry, I still use the coaching services of Strength Matters for my own training, Josh is awesome and very good and giving me a program based on what I need, not necessarily what I like to do. Through the comprehensive assessments he identifies my areas for improvement and makes sure that I address them.The community that the team at Strength Matters has built over the years is excellent and its always fun to catch up in person or virtually with fellow fitness folks from across the world.

Great support, understand their athletes and their goals. Always reviewing using science and research backed information. Programme has helped me smash all my goals and kept me injury free and more flexible

The BEST strength or fitness coaching program I have ever experienced. Regardless of your fitness level and experience, if you are committed to your fitness goals and interested in an individualized and adaptable program that fits your needs, your schedule, and your goals, @StrengthMatters is the program for you. I’ve been so happy with the team at Strength Matters and the programming they provide that I recruited my wife to the Strength Matters Family.James, Josh, and the team at Strength Matters have developed an amazing program to meet your needs.Two years ago, I was working through some rehab and struggling to balance an unpredictable work schedule. I wanted to continue my rehab and build my level of fitness, but I struggled to know what to do, when to do it, and how to adjust it based on my disruptive work schedule. After an initial intake with James, Josh and I started working together.The team conducted a thorough assessment of my strength, aerobic capacity, mobility, physical limitations, as well as gained an understanding of what equipment I had access to, my personal goals, and my preferences for frequency and duration of workouts. Josh developed a weekly program tailored to me. Josh provided daily feedback on my progress, and we maintained that initial program for three months before re-assessing and adjusting the program based on my progression and evolving schedule and goals.Having Josh on the other end of my programming was the most important aspect of this programming. Having a coach reviewing every workout helped hold me accountable, but more importantly, Josh kept me motivated and encouraged me to rest and recover when the chaos of my work schedule overwhelmed my capacity to workout.The team at Strength Matters understands that there are every day athletes out there that are Dads, Moms, or office work-aholics. They understand that we have competing priorities, and they remain ready to help us adapt our fitness programs to our chaotic lives to achieve our fitness goals.

I first discovered Strength Matters when I became a PT. Their training philosophy resonated with me from the start, and I've successfully applied their principles with my clients. My curiosity to delve deeper into their operations was satisfied when I joined the Hybrid Coaching Certification and their Black Belt Business Academy. These programs have been nothing short of amazing. They've equipped me with the knowledge and tools I needed to focus on growing a successful online fitness business. The guidance and support from the Strength Matters team have been invaluable throughout this journey. I'm excited to continue learning and evolving with them by my side.Strength Matters has truly been a game-changer in my career as a personal trainer, and I'm grateful for the opportunities they've provided. If you're looking to take your fitness business to the next level and want a supportive community to help you along the way, I highly recommend Strength Matters.
