Matt Van Der Laar

I know what it’s like to struggle with your health, fitness, and fat loss and not knowing what to believe and who to trust. I’ve done many of the quick fixes and fads our clients and audience have done – intermittent fasting, keto, fat burning supplements, everything promising the world and giving nothing in return other than a lighter wallet and more frustration. I’ve tried changing my body to impress others and because I thought that was what I was supposed to be doing.

It wasn’t until I repaired my relationship with food and myself that I found success and happiness – and that is what I want to help others with. Empowering others through my own struggles and experiences.

I got started in the industry back in 2015/2016 when my dad had a stroke. He turned to me for help with getting stronger in the gym. We worked out together religiously for 6 months and he drastically improved his health and it brought us closer together. My brother and brother in law joined us at this point and my passion for helping others was realized and I started pursuing personal trainer as a part time hobby.

That is why I’m passionate about helping people. The feelings they get when they accomplish their goals and improve their health is felt by me. I am very passionate about helping people improve their health – both physically and mentally. Helping them realize they can eat their favorite foods and get away from disordered eating habits – there is no better feeling!

I’m so thankful for partnering up with Beth for our podcast. We both have very similar styles of coaching and delivering our message. The dozens of comments and messages I receive daily thanking me and Beth for our content is so rewarding. With our collaboration we are so excited to be able to bring health and fitness to even more people, helping them get back to the basics, and make fitness fun and affordable for all.
