Coach Jimmy has helped me not only train better, but harder and smarter. Included in my very reasonably priced package was weekly updates, a diet plan, and a tailored session plan targeting my specific needs. Jimmy is not just an amazing trainer but also a great friend and anyone would be lucky to have him as a part of their health and fitness journey. read more

I've been training with Jimmy for a couple of years now, and I couldn't be happier with the results. As a working mom, finding time and motivation to work out can be tough, but Jimmy makes it enjoyable and effective. He is super knowledgeable, and always pushes me to do my best while keeping the sessions light and fun with his humor. I've seen significant improvements in my strength and overall fitness. If you're looking for an educated, motivating, and fun trainer, Jimmy is the one! read more

I started training with Jimmy over a year ago. I was 20 pounds heavier, didn't work out in about a year, recently separated/divorced & living at my moms house. My whole life was in shambles & I needed a major overhaul in every area in my life. Not knowing where to start next, a friend referred Jimmy to me to help me get my life back on track. After 6 months, I lost 10 pounds, started my own company & had a place of my own. Hiring Jimmy was one of the best investments I've ever made. (About a 1900% return I should add!) Over a year later, I doubled my companies profits, lost another 10 pounds & I'm the strongest mentally & physically I've ever been. His knowledge in fitness is far beyond any trainer I've ever worked with & my results are a proof of that. Fitness is his passion, he's always eager to learn & grow, and it shows in his work. Lemme tell you one thing, when a charming english man tells you "babe, you got this, one more" YOU'RE going to do ONE MORE. And that's the beauty of Jimmy, he pushes you with love & through that you can morph into a butterfly. read more

See all

Jimmy is the definition of professional trainer. I trained on my own for over a year before I met Jimmy. I was at the gym for hours, sometimes twice a day and I could never achieve the results I was looking for. Not until I started training with Jimmy did I start seeing the results I was looking for. I trained twice a week with Jimmy, he had me on a easy to follow meal plan and checked in on me daily. His motivation and encouragement allowed me to get into the best physical shape of my life. Not only did he motivate me, but my16yr old son began joining the sessions. If you're looking for a personal trainer, Jimmy is your man! read more

Best. Coach. Ever. Best. Decision. Ever. Such a privilege to have been able to be trained by and coached by Jimmy. I first met Jimmy when he was at UFC Gym and have remained with him as he's ventured off to personal train independently. Personality/Style: Very kind and caring British coach. Easy going and understanding but firm in his training. No excuses. Pushes you to your limit and encourages you but accommodating to prior injuries and is able and will always provide modifications dependent on how you're feeling and how you're body is feeling. Knowledge/Technology: Extremely knowledgeable in body mechanics and nutrition. Will demonstrate/record for you to see and reinforce correct movements and technics. Continually betters himself and keeps up to date with readings on better ways to coach and train and certifications available. Helped me so much with my nutrition and the calories/protein levels I needed to hit and suggestions on items with higher proteins to keep my energy levels up and to help me reach my physical goals. Used personalized app to keep track of my training program, progress and nutrition and held me accountable to check in. Me Personally/My Goals: Honestly, I'm you're average everyday person. Special in my own right, mom to a beautiful quirky little girl, employed full time in the corporate world. Trying to maintain that work life balance and balance between fun/responsibilities/family and living life to the fullest and enjoying the moments and all life has to give. So as mentioned, I first met Jimmy at UFC Gym, when I met him, I was ready for change, my daughter was 3 and I was burnt out. Commuting far to work, working 40+ hours, trying to be home in time to make dinner and to have hours with my daughter before she went to bed. It was a lot. Then I was unhappy with my weight and weight gain after having her. So I thought and I realized that I wasn't making time for myself and not moving much throughout the day. Jimmy and I then got to work, we set goals and outlined nutrition and I truly trusted in the process. For over a year I CONSISTENTLY trained 2x a week and did 1 HIIT class. I worked hard and nearly hit my pre birth weight but more importantly than that I was strong. Best shape of my life. My energy levels changed, I felt good, I felt like I had more of me to give to others. I truly achieved my goals and then surpassed them. I entered in the UFC GYM competition just for fun and trained hard and won, then moved onto regionals. I did double kettle bell squats, deadlifts, overhead presses, rows, things I never previously knew or had any training on prior to have meeting and training with Jimmy. I have nothing but great things to say about my experiences with Jimmy. He's so great and wants to personally see you win. Such a champion/Mamba mindset. I highly recommend personal training to everyone and training with Jimmy. It's not something you'll ever look back on and say you regretted. Just remember, you get out what you put in. read more

Jimmy has changed my life and I highly recommend working with him if you are looking to achieve your fitness goals. I worked with Jimmy for 6-12 months training 3 x a week at 5am and the results speak for themself. I've always been in shape and played sports but Jimmy helped me take things to a new level and really helped get my nutrition under control and have a better relationship with food. Overall an amazing investment and educational experience. Would highly recommend Jimmy to anyone looking to take there Health & Fitness to the next level. read more

Jimmy Matthews is by far the best coach & trainer in Cali. Before I met him I was in semi okay shape. I've been active all my life but still felt I was missing something... and that was nutritional guidance and accountability. I used to have the worst relationship with food before training with Jimmy. Now I gravitate towards healthier options naturally. The way I carry myself now when I approach training and eating is a day and night difference. I went from 33% body fat to 21.8% body fat in the span of a year. I can't thank Jimmy enough for how he has changed my life for the better. I don't know where I would be if I didn't have him as my coach and guiding me into a much healthier life and mindset. Don't think twice about hiring Jimmy, just do it. He is 1000% worth it read more

Jimmy is the best of the best, I trained with Jimmy for about a year and it was the best year of my life. Before I trained with him I had never stepped into a gym or worked out in my life. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Before we started training Jimmy asked what my goals were and let me just tell you.., he made sure that I reached those goals. I had never felt confident as I did while training with Jimmy. I felt so strong not only physically but mentally as well. He also helped with an easy to follow meal plan that helped my lifestyle.I learnt how to resistance train safely and correctly. I trained with Jimmy about 2-3 times a week, we did 1 on 1 training and semi group training on the weekends. I definitely got results that I would never imagine getting. I learned so much from him he is truly the best if you're looking for a trainer Jimmy is the person you are looking for. For someone who had never stepped into a gym or did a workout in her life, I felt alive again and I felt like myself again it was one of the best times in my life. read more

He pushes you when you think you cannot go any further, he keeps you consistent and makes sure you complete your "warm up" sets as well as your working sets. He will write you a nutrition program that goes hand in hand with your workouts. I have done personal training with Jimmy as well as group training and he always adapts to the different strengths and weaknesses of anyone involved and creates a program that works for everyone. He truly is the best coach you could as for. read more
