Who am I and what do I actually do?

Well, I’m Matt, owner and founder of Carbon Fitness. I’ve been working in the fitness industry for over 14 years and opened my first fitness studio in 2023.

My goal since day one has always been to make fitness accessible and affordable to all. I’ve built an incredible team over the last few years, we have secured funding, helped hundreds of people and continue to grow. The future is very exciting for Carbon Fitness and I can’t wait to see where it goes over the next few years.

I’ve loved being back on the gym floor working with groups and one to one. Seeing people’s hard work pay off makes it all worth it.

Whilst running the business behind the scenes takes a lot, working with clients just can’t be beaten! Whether it’s online with clients from all over the UK or in the gym!

So if you want to train with me or carbon fitness, drop me a message, online programme, one to one training, small group training 💪

The Carbon V12, does it work? Just ask Nikki. She smashed her training from home and got some incredible, life changing result 💪🥳

The Carbon V12. One of my most successful programmes.

It allows you to have flexible training, from home, with no equipment required! There’s a 6 and an 12 week version and you can access this via the Carbon Fitness app.

This has proven over the years to get some incredible results and is definitely one to try! Workouts are all between 15-30 minutes and don’t require much space at all.

Take the time for you, invest in you, your future self will thank you 💪

With the gym thriving it’s been easy to miss the online training options. You can still train with me personally online through:

✅ personalised programmes
✅ carbon fitness app - loaded with programmes and workouts
✅ The Carbon V12 - 12 week home workout programme

And much more! Want to find out more? Drop me a message 💪

Personal training….

Whilst we run a full timetable of small group training Carbon Fitness, we also offer the classic personal training. 1-1 and 2-1. If training as part of a group isn’t your thing, don’t worry.

Personal training at the private Carbon Fitness studio could well be for you. Work with one of our trainers to achieve your goals, have the gym to yourself, and have fun doing it!

So if you’re thinking of trying personal training, or want to gift someone personal training for Christmas, drop me a message 💪

After a very serious knee injury, a long time away from the gym and a lot of rehab to be able to walk properly again, she’s back! And she’s smashing it. 100kg rack pull. The legs are moving so much better, stronger and efficiently. Big things coming from her! 💪

Small group training. What is it? and how does it work?

You get training on a personal level with your own personalised programme which we create to fit your goals and ability. We make sure you are pushing yourself and take you through each workout.

You book the sessions in each week that work around your lifestyle and in the gym at the same time are up to 8 people. So you will get great support from your trainer and the others around you.

We pride ourselves at Carbon Fitness on having the most welcoming and friendly community around. So if you're interested in training at Carbon Fitness, drop us a message or pop in to see us!

“Matt at carbon fitness has supported me through all the ups and downs In my life. The community he has built is always there to listen and push you to be your best. No workout is ever the same and with gentle encouragement I have achieved things I would never have dreamt of 7 years ago. The great mix of exercises is bespoke to me but is completed with a great bunch of people. It is the highlight of my day!”
