Introduction
Hi, I’m Matthew Knowles. I’m 24 years old and have been passionate about fitness for as long as I can remember. With over 5 years of professional training experience, I specialize in endurance, muscle gain, and weight loss, along with functional strength and combat sports conditioning. I grew up immersed in Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and my love for MMA drives my approach—discipline, technique, and grit.
Beyond the gym, I’m an avid 3D printing enthusiast and a motorcycle rider—always seeking new challenges and pushing boundaries. I bring that same energy and dedication to my clients, crafting sustainable, individualized programs that help them achieve real results. Whether you’re aiming for endurance, strength, or weight loss, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s train, grow, and succeed together!

Matthew is a wonderful trainer who truly cares. I began working with Matthew over a year ago when I wasn't in the best shape, but his support and guidance made all the difference. He provided me with valuable advice and encouraged me to push beyond my limits, helping me grow stronger and more confident. I've learned so much, and my body has transformed into a better version of myself. I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew as your personal trainer—you won't be disappointed!

I’ve been training with Matthew Knowles since March 2025, and let me tell you — it’s been a journey. A lot of the success I’ve had comes directly from working with Matt.
He figured out early on that if left to my own devices, I would challenge myself approximately… never. Growing up, failure wasn’t an option, so I became an expert at doing only the things I already knew I could accomplish. Matt didn’t roll his eyes, dismiss it, or bulldoze past it. Instead, he helped me understand it. He showed me that failure isn’t a verdict — it’s part of the growth cycle. Apparently, muscles and confidence both need a little chaos to thrive.
I told him I wanted our sessions to be a learning experience, not just a “do this because I said so” situation. He took that seriously. Every workout came with explanations: why we were doing something, what I should be feeling, and how each movement supported my long‑term goals, hobbies, and passions. He didn’t just train me; he taught me how to train myself.
What sets Matt apart is his holistic approach.
He’s not obsessed with metrics or chasing numbers for the sake of numbers. He trains the body, yes — but he also trains the mind and spirit. He sees the whole human in front of him, not just a client on a spreadsheet. And that makes all the difference.
I’m genuinely grateful for the patience, the knowledge, and the real care he brings to every session. Working with him didn’t just make me stronger; it made me braver.
Matt has helped me:
Shed 17% of my body fat
Increase my bench press to 145 pounds
Increase my squat to 245 pounds
Increase RDL to 245 pounds
Increase Hip Thrust to 275 pounds

I highly recommend Matthew! He has been great to work with both in the gym and during Muay Thai training. He’s knowledgeable, motivating, patient, and really knows how to push me to improve while making sure I’m doing things safely and correctly.
The combination of strength and fitness training with Muay Thai has been an awesome experience, and I’ve noticed a real difference in my confidence, fitness, and overall performance. He genuinely cares about helping his clients reach their goals and brings great energy to every session.
If you’re looking for a trainer who can help you get stronger, fitter, and improve your Muay Thai skills, I definitely recommend him!
