I have been training with Stef every week for the past 3 months and the difference he has made to my personal fitness is incredible. The gym is very well kitted out, is really bright and has amazing views of Hillsborough which makes a big difference! Stef's a great motivator, really knows what he is talking about and has a different tailored workout planned for me every week and I couldn't recommend him highly enough!

Me and my husband have been training with stefan for the past 12 weeks in order to drop some weight and tone up for our daughters wedding in august . From the very start we were both very impressed by the fitness studio as well as Stefan's professionalism. The training although challenging at times is varied and enjoyable with no 2 sessions being the same ( particularly love the boxing !!) We have both managed to lose weight and tone up and feel a great deal fitter for the experience

I have been training with Stefan for over 3 yrs and I can't recommend him highly enough. I have lost 2 stone and kept it off. I've toned up, my energy levels are through the roof and I feel like a different person. Stef makes each session fun and challenging and I look forward to our sessions every week.

Am into my 6th week training with Stefan (2xweek) and can't believe how much I am enjoying it . The reason I started with a Pt was to improve my mental health as I suffer from anxiety and depression and I can already feel the benefits - I love the weight training and I get a real buzz from the boxing . Stefan is extremely professional , very affable, and keeps the sessions fun and varied- great job !!!

Having recently moved to the area I decided to embark on some 1:1 personal training sessions to try to improve my general fitness and hopefully drop a few unwanted pounds that have crept on over the last few years . I started training with Stefan twice a week about 12 weeks ago and and already feeling the benefits having dropped around 10 lbs and my body has definitely toned up - the sessions are challenging but hugely enjoyable ( love the boxing !!! ) and would highly recommend to anyone who is in a similar position to me Phillipa

Myself and 3 friends have been training under the expert guidance of stef at his brilliant studio for the past few weeks . The setting of the studio is incredible and getting to workout in the outside area is just fab . The sessions are varied , fun and challenging and we all push ourselves so much harder than if we were training on our own . The group training is a brilliant concept as you get the same intensity as a 1:1 session at a fraction of the price !!! Very highly recommended !!!!! Jenny

Myself and 2 friends started training up at fitness matters with Stefan a few weeks back , with the goal of getting in shape and losing a few lbs for Xmas . All 3 of us love our sessions which consist of weight training and hiit , they are varied and challenging and we can def start seeing the benefits already . Stefan started us off slowly , and week by week has increased the intensity of the sessions - he is very motivating and you can tell he has been in this industry for 20 + years We will definitely be continuing the training past Xmas and we’ll into the new year

I started training with Stefan up at his gym may 2019 and in a relatively short space of time (6 months) I have managed to lose 12 kg as well as getting stronger , fitter and healthier . I love the training , which is a mixture of weights and high intensity fitness - can highly recommend Ap

I've been training with Sarah (the unexpected PT) for the past month doing a specialised strength and conditioning small group session. Sarah's knowledge and efficiency has given me the mindset to train again after a long layoff through injury. Highly recommend Sarah and thank you for making me feel comfortable in my own skin again ☺️

I was totally convinced I hated the gym, but Sarah has convinced me otherwise! In just 8 weeks she has given me so much confidence, taught me how to do exercises properly and kept me motivated throughout. I will keep working towards my goal of an overall stronger body so that I can keep enjoying exercise long into old age.

Really enjoyed the starter classes with Sarah on strength and conditioning and have now moved on to further classes. Each week I learn more and more about all things weights and fitness. I had not got a clue beforehand. I love the option of being able to train outside as well. The craic is great too!

Have been taking part in a small group pt session with Stefan for the last 9 months and I absolutely love it - it’s cost effective , good craic and am certainly starting to see some pleasing results plus the new outdoor training area is unreal - top class experience all round

I started training with Sarah 5 weeks ago, at 11 weeks post partum. Sarahs knowledge of post natal training is amazing. After nearly a year of not working out, Sarah made it so easy for me to enjoy being back at the gym again. I honestly cannot recommend Sarah highly enough. After just five weeks with Sarah's help and advice, I am already more confident in my own skin.

I've been training at Fitness Matters for 2.5 years, doing a mixture of 1:1 and small group training with Stefan and more recently with Sarah. The small group classes help you push your limits (don't come here if you aren't prepared to work hard!) with the assistance of professionals and the 1:1 sessions have completely transformed the way I train. They are incredibly knowledgeable, always pays close attention to safe exercise form and put programmes together, which are responsive to what works best for my body type/personal preferences. I've also been given some insightful nutrition guidance to support fuelling for performance. I've trained in other gyms with Personal Trainers in the past, but Fitness Matters is a different level. The location is superb and being able to train outside is a game changer.

I've been training with Stefan for about a year and a half and would thoroughly recommend him. In terms of facilities, the gym space is really well kitted out with varied equipment, inside and outside space for training. I have never enjoyed being on the floor of a gym and always preferred classes, but doing sessions here, I've started to love lifting weights and combining that with conditioning. When I leave a session, I always know I've worked hard. I never realised the value of a good personal trainer, but having someone take time to work on technique and tailor training to you has been brilliant. I've lost weight, changed my body composition for the better and managed to maintain it, thanks to Stefan and Fitness Matters.

I have been training with Sarah at her small groups strength and conditioning classes for the last few months. I love and dread them in equal measure. Sarah (the_unexpected_pt) is a brilliant coach, she is knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She puts a great deal of thought into her programme for each class, they are varied and never fail to work us hard whilst allowing us to repeat and improve. Because the class is kept small she is able to keep an eye on individual form and adapts for injuries and abilities, demonstrating everything in the run through before we begin. The hour certainly goes by in a sweaty whirl! The facilities allow for training both indoors and out which is so much more pleasant than stuck inside a normal gym environment. The group is supportive, welcoming and friendly and we get through whatever Sarah throws at us together!

Excellent facilities and location I have been attending with Stefan for the past 3 years Great motivator

Truly excellent Trainer. Lovely setting and top class equipment. Stef keeps me on track gently but firmly enough to get me where I should be. Very much recommended.

I have been training with Stef for some time now and his knowledge and experience is invaluable. I am completely amazed at what I am able to do with his motivation - I am stronger and in better shape now than I have ever been in my life. Thankyou Stef.

I have been training with Stefan for almost 2 years now. In these 2 years I have lost the weight that I gained during lockdown, gained strength and I am the fittest I've ever been. Before training with Stefan I never enjoyed fitness and always found it to be such a chore. I can honestly say I look forward to my sessions and feel amazing after each one. He has a wide variety of equipment inside and outside which keeps things fresh and fun! He is great at pushing you to your full potential and doesn't take any excuses, I definitely need someone like that to keep me motivated. For the first time in a long time I actually love how I look and feel and it's all down to Stefan!

Since beginning personal training sessions with Stefan 2 years ago, my strength and fitness levels have improved beyond my original expectations. Stefan is able to guide and motivate you through each exercise to help you reach your full potential while also respecting your physical limits. With equipment both indoors and outdoors at the premises, workouts continue to stay fresh and varied. I have Stefan to thank for making me the strongest and healthiest I’ve ever felt as I enter my 30s and I highly recommend!

My husband Aaron and I have been working out with Stefan since we moved here from the US 18 months ago. He's by far the best personal trainer either of us have worked with and while I can't say we look forward to every single session, I can tell you that we both feel fantastic afterwards! The gym is well stocked with every piece of workout gear you could ever need and there's even a nice outdoor space for those days when our Norn Irish weather cooperates. Stefan's thoughtful and measured approach is just perfect - trust him and you will see the results in no time.

Have been going to Stefan for close to 2 years, it’s the most confident I’ve felt and the strongest I’ve been. Definitely recommend as he is very supportive and keeps the strength activities fresh so going to the gym never feels like a chore!

Absolutely love Saturday circuits with Sarah. A great way to kick start the weekend with a small friendly group of people. Sarah will ensure you push yourself to help achieve your fitness goals. Highly recommend you give it a go!

I started beginners’ strength training classes with Sarah at the start of September having had very little experience in the gym/lifting weights. With Sarah’s help (and patience) I have become so much more confident in my ability and have seen my running performance improve. I love the mix of indoor and outdoor facilities and the fact each exercise is tailored to your ability. I’m so glad I decided to start training with Sarah - bring on the next 8 weeks 💪

Stefan is a superb personal trainer tailors the sessions not only to your overall goals but how you present at each training session, getting the best out of you at all times. The equipment and training space are all excellent and the training space is private. Would highly recommend.

I’ve been training with Stef for about 6 months doing weekly 1-1s and classes. The results have been excellent. I’ve been recovering from an injury and Stef has tailored each session to my needs. No 2 sessions are the same. I’m the fittest I’ve been in years and I can really see the changes in my body. Can 100% recommend Stef to anyone who wants to get in shape!

Absolutely brilliant setup. Equipment and space are top class and the exercises and workouts that Stefan designs are challenging and varied. No week is the same as the previous. It’s a really relaxed, chilled setup but one that gets results. I’m as fit as I’ve been thanks to Stefan and the classes! 👏👏

I have been going to Stefan for 4 years and would highly recommend. Stefan is a great PT, extremely encouraging and very aware of proper form to avoid injury etc. He produces fun and varied workouts and will amend to suit individual goals etc. The gym and all the equipment is top quality and he has both an indoor and outdoor space which is fab - very nice to be able to train outside when weather permits.

I’ve been attending one to one sessions with Stef for 6 months now. My aim was to get stronger, build muscle and enjoy greater fitness levels! The sessions are excellent and really push me out of my comfort zone. Stef is very knowledgeable and knows how to get results. I thoroughly recommend 👍👍

Have been attending the small group strength and conditioning classes up at fitness matters with 3 friends for the past 6 months . In that time my strength and fitness have improved immeasurably and ive even managed to lose 4 kg . The sessions are varied , enjoyable and we are pushed at just the right pace . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

My hubby and I have been going to Stefan for 4 years - his set up is great with both indoor and outdoor space and it’s super convenient for us. Really enjoy our sessions and Stefan keeps it really varied and interesting - he’s also super reliable and available all year long - highly recommend
