Matthew Bertram

About Coach

Matt's coaching mantra is straightforward: everyone can do it. Doesn't matter where you're starting from - what matters is that you're showing up and pushing yourself. He takes the time to actually get to know the people he coaches, which makes every session feel personal rather than generic.

When he's not on the gym floor, he's directing or performing in theatre. And he has a Lego collection that, by his own admission, has gotten a little out of hand.

Turning Point

Matt grew up in Adelaide, packed his bags, and moved to Melbourne to attend drama school. That decision - to leave the familiar and back himself completely - changed everything. Drama school taught him how to sit with failure, push through discomfort, and keep growing anyway. It's the same thing he asks of his athletes every session.

Motivation & Passion

Positive, funny, and genuinely invested in the people in front of him. Matt gets more excited about your PR than his own - and he means it. His focus is always on the journey: the small wins, the gradual progress, and building the kind of self-belief that goes well beyond the gym.
