Matt McConnell

I’m passionate about helping people in the Bateau Bay community and across the Central Coast live healthier, happier lives. As an experienced health & fitness coach & qualified nutritionist, my goal is to give every client the education, motivation, and support they need to achieve their unique health and fitness goals. Whether that’s improving strength, managing weight, or simply feeling more confident in their body.

Since starting my career in 2003, I’ve worked with clients from all walks of life, including those accessing the NDIS, helping them:

  • Manage weight, tone, and transform their body

  • Train for sports performance

  • Prepare for weddings, birthdays, and special events

  • Build stronger, fitter bodies and minds

With over two decades of industry experience and a long list of specialist qualifications, I create tailored, results-driven programs that are personal, supportive, and achievable - all in a private boutique studio with no gym fees.
