FEATURED TRAINER

Matt Jackson has been a part of the fitness industry for 15 years through bodybuilding, powerlifting, personal training, and promoting the NANBF. He is currently pursuing his dream of working full time in the health and fitness industry by running his own training and fitness consulting company called M.E.A.T (Make Every day A Transformation). In one short year he has led two clients to earn their Pro Cards, one in figure and one in bikini, and has also had numerous top 5 placing’s in 2014. Matt is motivated by his family and clients who push him to not only be a better coach, but also to “practice what he preaches.” His training method is based primarily on powerlifting techniques for men and women. Matt designs workouts specifically for each client’s goals and is proud to see each competitor changing for the better each time they compete. One of Matt's goals for 2015 includes promoting the Heartland Classic in Omaha, Nebraska on May 23rd.

He will also have as many as 40 athletes competing in spring and summer shows!

FROM THE PRO

Use a coach for each and every contest prep.

Your body is ever- changing and not one contest prep will be exactly the same. Diets, posing, and workouts may need to be changed up, so no matter how many shows you have done or plan to do, remember to also have someone with an objective eye to guide you through it.
