Matt McClelland

I have had a passion for sport and fitness from a young age, playing football and running whenever and wherever I could! From this simple start, I went on to represent the Isle of Wight at both Junior to Senior levels at 100m and 200m sprints, competing at the International Island Games in 1995. I also became a member of Bembridge Cricket Club and Shanklin and Sandown Golf Club and represented the Isle of Wight in senior level field hockey. At the age of 16, my desire to improve my physical strength for athletic purposes led me to take up weight training which improved my performance as well as my confidence in my own ability. My love of sport and fitness took me to Brunel University where I went on to gain a 1st Class BA (Hons) degree in Sports Science. Injury resulted in a desire to improve my knowledge and analysis of health and fitness training led to a subtle change of direction from competitive sports to more general fitness and body conditioning. Having seen the amazing improvements that general fitness training gave me, I developed a passion for helping others to achieve the same positive results and embarked on a career in the health and fitness industry armed with the skills, knowledge and experience I had gained myself. I am continuing to develop my training methods and re-evaluate my knowledge to reflect this constantly developing industry in order to give you the most up-to-date sessions available.
