About Matt
I joined the team at TrainSMART in May of 2024 after finishing my spring internship here and completing my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science. My favorite part about being a coach here at TrainSMART is being able to help clients achieve their goals and see the benefits of the hard work they put in here.
Growing up, I wrestled, and I played football and tennis. I also found out very quickly into my athletic career that one of the things I enjoyed most about athletics was training in the weight room. Throughout my high school and college years I have been very eager to learn everything that I can about exercise and I was always enthusiastic to try new things in my own workouts and share everything I learned with others. I consider myself to be a ‘nerd’ when it comes to exercise and I own that because it is my passion. I give a lot of value to continually learning, being open to different ideas and methodologies, and working hard no matter where you are in pursuit of your goals.
I am currently in my 2nd year of Doctor of Physical Therapy program at the University at Buffalo this upcoming fall, and I am excited to use the skills I learned here and continue to develop at TrainSMART. As mentioned before, I really enjoy helping people achieve their goals, and I would like that to translate to helping people enjoy a better quality of life.
Outside of the gym and the classroom, some of my favorite activities include playing tennis, listening to music, and watching sports. I am a fan of the Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Sabres, and Seattle Mariners and I am very enthusiastic about it. I also work for my parents’ pizza shop. I also just entered my first half marathon and completed it back in May!
I am excited to be a part of the team here at TrainSMART and I look forward to training with you!
