Mat helped with my strength and conditioning building up to my 2020 Shute Shield Rugby season. During which I unfortunately suffered a season ending foot injury. Whilst I was in a boot for 6 weeks, Mat developed a tailored program to work around my injury to ensure I maintained as much of my strength and fitness as possible. Once I was out of the boot he worked with my physio and put together a specific return to play program which incorporated a range of specific exercises/plyometric movements to prepare my foot for the demands of playing Rugby. As a result, I am now back to full capacity in my foot whilst my strength and fitness has gone through the roof. I’m now more than ready next season.
I have personally known Mathew Cabrera in a variety of capacities for many years. He has been my trusted colleague in the security industry and has also helped me prepare for international tournaments and super-fights in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Matt has been responsible for guiding me in aspects of nutrition and strength + conditioning. Matt’s philosophy, preparation and keen attention to detail is what separates him from other fitness professionals. His emphasis on scientific based evidence towards training and mastering of fundamentals movements makes his programs world class while ensuring his clients meet their specific needs and goals. My time spent learning and training under Matt will always be a highlight in my professional journey. I highly recommend his services to anyone who is serious about their athletic careers and for anyone out there looking to improve their overall health and wellbeing.
I have been training with Mathew for 6 months during 2020 preparing me for the 2021 Football Premier League season.
Prior to seeing Mathew, I have had multiple knee injuries/surgeries which has never fully recovered, however since being with Mathew, he has written up a full “return to sport” program for me personally focusing on strength, conditioning and plyometric drills to compliment my rehab with the physio.
Mathew has not only given me the physical capacity to be fit but also the confidence mentally to be able to trust my body and process to be able to play football again.
Mathew has been nothing but supportive and is very knowledgeable, I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to be able to better play their sport at a higher level or for anyone who wants to better themselves.
I trained with Mat during 2018-2019. Through this time, we have met on a weekly basis and worked on developing both my strength/stability and endurance in the lead up to my competitions in Japanese Ji Jitsu. Mat is always available via text or call to discuss/ fine tune anything that I needed and is a reliable source of information regarding my training needs. Through Mat’s knowledge and guidance, has helped me get favourable results in my sport notably silver medal in WCJJO world Championships in Florida in 2019 and North-star Ji Jitsu national Champion.
Before training with Matt, for about 2 years being in the gym, I hadn’t been able to progress in my training, I had been riddled with injuries due to rugby since I can remember. I reached out to Matt, for guidance and support. Mats training programs addressed my previous injuries and current lifting capabilities, which in turn allowed me to increase both my strength, power and running conditioning. This is something that I hadn’t been able to fully accomplish in over 2 years in training. This was evident within the first 3 months where I had improved on a number of key performance metrics/tests (both lifting and fitness related). Without Matt, and his extensive knowledge in exercise science, I would have never been able to accomplish this in my training and I am forever grateful for his guidance.
