Matthew Praeuner

Matt has been my personal trainer for a year and a half now and I could not be more pleased with my training experience and results! Matt is not only extremely knowledgeable and talented in the personal training aspect but also has provided guidance in my nutrition as well. I have sessions twice a week with Matt and have seen very visible results and feel much stronger overall. He does a great job of pushing me while also mixing up workouts each session. I HIGHLY recommend Matt as a personal trainer!

Matt has been my trainer since August/​September 2011 as he was recommended to me. Matt trains me 3x a week and is flexible with my busy schedule. He keeps me on the right path monitoring my eating, weight, and overall healthy lifestyle. He does push you so be prepared to work.
I also forgot to mention that he accepts credit cards!

I’ve starting training with Matt for only a handful of times and it’s been great so far! To be honest, I’ve typically signed up for various fitness classes because they would guide me through an entire work out and I’d usually get a pretty good sweat from them. I still enjoy going classes, but something about going to your own personal trainer definitely gives me the extra individual attention that I need to keep me fired up!
My workouts with Matt are always different and they always leave my muscles sore! He listens to what areas I’d like to improve as well as develop tough workouts that give me variety so I’m never bored. It gives me great satisfaction knowing that I’m always learning different types of workouts I can do also on my own time and knowing that I’m doing them correctly. The HiFi gym (where Matt trains) is pretty cool, too. It a huge space so it never seems to get too crowded for my work out and has some of the niftiest machines.
So I give Matt 5 stars for his approachable personality, expertise, motivation, and getting my booty back into shape!

Matt is evil. After most sessions, I wake up sore in the oddest areas and curse him. But I still go back for more. So either I’m a masochist, he’s brilliant, or both.
My original intention was to train with him for a couple months to counteract my gluttonous eating habits, learn his secrets and dump him. Unfortunately, he has me hooked. But the ongoing mental and physical health benefits trump the hit on my wallet, so I’m at peace with it.
Matt’s dedication to customizing each session to best challenge and motivate is starkly absent from other fitness classes, trainers and gyms. Each time is refreshing and somehow painfully fun. He applies an arsenal of methods including spin kicks, cross-​uppercut combos and kettle bells, while also deconstructing intimidating machines to their most effective applications for me. All of this tones the trickiest of areas while building balance, flexibility, lean muscle mass as well as self defense skills.
He’s also dangerously knowledgeable and eager to provide valuable expertise around everything else related to living a healthy lifestyle. If only I listened.

I have been training with Matt for over 4 years and let me just start by saying that if I could give him 10 stars I would! I have had other trainers in the past and there is no question, Matt is the best! I am an avid worker-​outer and I would not just hand over the fate of my body to just anyone. He always knows exactly what we are going to do that day and is very tuned into my individual needs. He is extremely safety conscious and would never do anything that might injur or put me in any danger. Also, he is always on top of what’s going on in the world of fitness and is constantly changing up my workouts to continue to push me. And let’s not forget the obvious fact that if you are going to work out with someone for an hour multiple times a week it’s important that they are «good people» — and he is!
Anyway, I could go on and on but just trust when I say Matt has done wonders to my body, my self confidence and has become a friend as well. Highly recommend!!!
