"I have worked with other Personal Trainers over the past decade and Matt Barber has helped me in the most substantial way so far!  As for cardio...I'm good on my own, but like others, I struggle to push myself when it comes to weight training.  In a short 30 minutes Matt always seems to kick my butt and pushes me to yet another level of performance that I wouldn't have imagined possible.  I often hear him say "You can do it Trace, you're strong enough" - so even when I don't think I am strong enough, he reminds me that I am!  It's the best combination of strength training and mind over matter training I have ever experienced.  I'm grateful to Matt for helping me to exceed my potential!!"

"Matt Barber was my Personal Trainer for just over a year and what a difference a year can make!  He is exceptionally good with organizing and getting people motivated.  He has a great attitude and his dedication to his clients can be classified as first class"

"I am a 42 year old male and have been working with Matt now for about two years.  I've been working out most of my adult life and what I have accomplished in two years working out with Matt is more then I have done in the past 20 years.  His knowledge and expertise goes without saying, proof is in the results.  My physical, mental and over health has improved working with him.  I have invested time and expense working out with other trainers across the southeastern Wisconsin area. Those trainers did help and assist in my goals but working with Matt I have been able to see those goals develop and I have been able to maintain those goals with Matt's training expertise.  Now I have even been able to look at possibly do a body building competition something that I have always thought about but did not think it was ever possible.  I just want to thank Matt for all of his help and assistance in my body and nutrition knowledge.  I would not be able to be where I am without Matthew Barber"

"Matt provided me with a fitness plan designed to meet my specific fitness goals -and helped push me to reach them.  Over the year I worked out with Matt, I lost weight, gained strength and in general became a more fit and energic individual." 

Judson Luke

"I have had a long history of physical activity. As a recipiant of 8 varsity letters in High School and 4 years of college soccer, I stubernly assumed that
my workouts were at their highest possible quality. After working with Matt Barber for a few short weeks I noticed drastic changes. I had gained lean muscle mass, had lost body fat, and increased the strength of my major muscle groups. I have been working with Matt for months now and the results have continued, I am very thankful and appreciative of the individual attention and dedication that I have recieved from Matt Barber."

Ahron Thode

"As a 50th B-day present to myself, I decide to seek out the help of a Personal Trainer. My goal was to maintain strength and flexibility into my 50s. As a fitness instructor, I also needed to stay in shape. I asked a Y employee about who would best fit my needs. Matt Barber was recommended. I have never had any regrets. He has helped me meet these goals. He rounds out my workout routine after considering my Abs and BodyPump classes that I teach. At 52, I have never been in better shape."

“Your wedding is something you will always remember and all brides want to look Fabulous on their special day.  Matt worked with me several times a week and helped me drop 2 dress sizes and several inches to fit into my dream dress…. Thanks to Matt I was Cover Girl Perfect!’

 “In January 2006 when I found out I was pregnant, Matt worked with me during my pregnancy and designed a program for me to follow to keep my muscles toned and my energy level up.  Between my visits with Matt and swim classes I was able to workout for the entire nine months.  I felt great and in September gave birth to a very healthy baby boy!” (who came out kicking! )"

"With a hectic work and personal schedule, it’s easy to come up with reasons not to work out.  I don’t have time to spend at a gym waiting for equipment, carrying around a clipboard, or dancing in a class with 30 other people.  My time with Matt is just about me, and is exactly what I need after a busy day!  His workouts allow me to let go of the stress and focus on doing something good for my body and mind.  Matt’s workouts build your strength, tone, and balance. And along the way, he manages to make me not be so serious, and have a good time. He takes you as you are and makes you better. And for me, that is worth every minute."

"The advantage of working with a trainer like Matt is his mastery of both the exercise and nutritional components of healthy living. He understands the science as well as the psychology. This integrated approach is absolutely necessary for success. And his sense of humor is unmatched – it keeps me motivated to push myself to continuously improve!"

Romy M

" Having spent my entire life in the pursuit of technical excellence as a ballet dancer, first in elite training and then as a professional attaining a very high level, I found that Matt was not only already very knowledgeable but also willing to learn how to best train an athlete of my type. I have worked with many trainers before outside of the ballet world and virtually all of them were limited in that they knew how to encourage people to lose weight and gain muscle but could go no further, the end result being big, bulky and losing flexibility. In my opinion, this look isn't only not functional but can also lead to injury. Working out with Matt I gained lean muscle and a lot of strength, focusing on crucial core strength, while maintaining my flexibility. He was also very motiviational and inventive with exercise choices that really would make a difference. I had huge gains from the time I spent with him and still use a lot of what I learned. "

Matthew Bruno

"Matt Barber has been working with me for years and with the patience of a saint. Throughout my life I was always athletic in sports and didn't do any specific exercising, but a few years ago I retired from the sport and allowed myself to hate exercising. I began to gain weight, became more self conscious about working out in a gym and didn't know how to work out at home. Matt, with his education in hand, pulled me out of my exercising rut and showed me how simple it is and how much fun it can be. I've become much healthier and more conscious of how I take care of my body both in and out of the gym."
