Matt came to SWAT looking to lose weight, tone up and increase his fitness level, and his commitment to training has taken his fitness to a whole new level.  I was lucky enough to take over his training about 4 months ago and the strides he has made over those months are incomparable.  He is down 13 inches overall while increasing his lean massalmost 20%, more striking is his overall fitness level.  He is now able to do just about any exercise or workout I throw at him, he increased his max rep push-ups from 15 to 37 and his max rep sit ups from 25 to 64!  He has learned and mastered all the major Kettlebell movements (and most minor movements), barbell clean and jerk, power clean, barbell power snatch, front squats, overhead squats, deadlift, and even kipping pull ups!  For all you CrossFitters out there, he has completed many CrossFit workouts including ”Hansen,” ”the Bear Complex,” ”Cindy,” a few CrossFit Football workouts and even completed the entire “Filthy 50.” 

Unfortunately Matt is on loan to us from our friends “accross the pond” and will be returning home to the UK at the end of next week.  Matt embodies what SWAT Fitness is all about and we are proud to have him carrying the flag for us.  Matt, be proud of what you have achieved and know that you will always have a place here at SWAT.  You have become a part of the SWAT family and from all of us here we wish you the best and hope to see you again sooner rather than later!
