Matthew Wines

When seeking a lifestyle change for the better, I knew a personal trainer would be beneficial. I was referred to Matt through an online search and I Couldn't be happier. When first beginning, we met up and discussed my goals and what I wanted to get out of it. He was very understanding, knowledgable, and non-judgemental. Matt came prepared with a workout routine that specifically fit my needs. He was also able to train me in the comfort of my own home (optional) while also getting me into an actual gym from time to time. Each time we met, he had all the workout materials (ball, elastic band, weights, etc) there and ready to waste no time. Matt was always flexible in finding a time we cold meet up in order to reach my goals. After having personal training sessions for a few months, I lost some lbs, some inches off my measurements and felt so much more confident in my own skin, as well as more confident with my exercise knowledge. If I didn't have to move last spring, I'd still be seeing Matt for personal training and I HIGHLY recommend him!!

Matt is a phenomenal trainer. He personalized my workouts to my needs and goals. He was great at giving feedback really knows his stuff!

Matt arrives promptly with a written plan for my training sessions; however, he is flexible and willing to make adjustments if needed. His insight as to areas that need work are helpful and he encourages me to do better. I have enjoyed working with him and am sorry (for myself) that he will be leaving next month. He will be hard to replace.

Matthew has been a good source of motivation for me. I had stalled in weight loss progression on my own which caused me to reach out for help. He answered all of my many questions, took time to understand any previous injuries, and created an exercise plan around my needs. I have found more confidence in my body and what it’s capable of with Matthew challenging me. I’m starting to see the results I was unable to achieve on my own. I feel very grateful to have him not let me slack off, make me push harder, being considerate of needing to make adjustments, and doing it all while being a positive guide to reaching goals.

I've been taking TRX classes with Matt the last few months at the Albany YMCA and am really impressed with his training methods and enthusiasm. He has helped me along with alternative exercises to accommodate my bad knee and shoulder. He is very good at explaining and showing each exercise, as well as giving individual feedback. I look forward to his classes and only wish I had the money to take him on as my personal trainer!
