My name is Matt Bentley and I am a certified personal trainer at Mick Doyle’s Kickboxing and Fitness.  I am constantly trying to find new ways to push myself and my clients athletically.  I believe in hard work, dedication, and pushing it to the limits when it comes to fitness.  When you factor that kind of logic into your training there are no boundaries.  I don’t believe there is a finish line when it comes to training as there will always be a new way to push yourself, a new goal to meet, and a new exercise to do.  If you feel that you’ve met all your goals and can’t possibly push it any harder then guess what, you’re training with the wrong people.  Here at Mick Doyle’s I am surrounded by a staff of like minded trainers who always lead from the front.  We don’t have our clients do things that we don’t do on a regular basis ourselves.  Simply put, if it works for us it will work for you.
We are sensitive to our clients needs and goals and can and have worked around every type of injury and circumstance you could possibly imagine.  We have reasonable expectations of our clients and we make sure that you live up to them.  We all need a support system, let us be that for you.
Out of shape?  Just a few years ago I myself was 225lbs ( You can see my before and after pictures on the website) and realized I needed to make a change.  With the help of my coaches, family, and teammates and by using the same methods I train my clients with today I was able to lose 90lbs, decrease my body fat by over 20% and regain control of my health and body!
