Jo Wootton ,

PT Student

In 2017 I made the decision to study and start a new career as a PT. I had been a PA for 15 years until I had my son in 2008. Matt was my PT tutor at the SouthBank Gym on the Wandsworth Road.

Fast forward 6 years and I have just opened my own gym based in a retirement village with my clients base ranging from exercise referral, residents and my long running clients.

Tutors don’t just educate you they inspire you.

Thanks Matt xx

I can across Matt at a work event he presented at since then I have been a regular listener. Keep up the good work Matt Marney.

Jane 2012 ,

A must-listen for Pilates teachers

Enjoyable for Pilates teachers and anyone passionate about fitness. A diverse range of guests, and although Matt clearly has his own opinions, he is respectful of others. Matt’s passion for learning comes across and you can’t help but want to learn with him.
