PT
MATT GRANT
PT STUDIO OWNER
NSW
How long have you been a PT?
12 years.
Are you full time or part time?
Full time.
What made you decide to become
a trainer?
My love for sport and my passion for helping,
teaching and inspiring people to live their
best lives. Sounds a bit cheesy, but very
true.
Do you specialise?
Along with personal training I run big group
strength and conditioning classes both in
the gym and outdoors. We also run events
including health retreats, special guest
training sessions, Palm Beach sand dunes,
social events and corporate wellness days. I
love and thrive on the energy that’s created
when groups of likeminded people come
together.
Do you have anyone else working
for you?
I have six contractors who work for me.
They are a bunch of super humans and I’m
so fortunate to have them on board. I place
very high importance on surrounding myself
with good people. These guys are very good
people!
Do you have a signature style of
training?
I have a personal spin on group strength and
conditioning.
How many hours do you train
clients for each week?
20 hours (including groups). The other PTs
who work with us train varying hours of
classes and one-on-one clients.
How many hours do you spend
working on your business?
10-15 hours per week.
What hours do you work?

16 | NETWORK WINTER 2019
Like most trainers, I work in blocks.
From 5:30 to 8:30am I train groups and
clients, after which I spend a couple of
hours until 11am on admin, in meetings
or socialising. At lunchtimes, between 12
and 1pm you’ll find me playing basketball
