Bio
Hi, and welcome. My name is Mat Skate, I am an ex-Army (Australian) physical trainer and after 20 years in the ADF I decided to transfer all the skills I had learned and offer those to the people outside of Defence.
I fell in love with a fit and healthy lifestyle after a colleague of mine introduced me to distance running. Eight months later I found myself lining up to compete in my first marathon in Melbourne 2002. Since then, I have been fortunate to win the 2004 Adelaide marathon and today I am a former Queensland marathon and half marathon champion.
I appreciate what a fit and healthy lifestyle offers me and how it helps assist me become a better parent and husband to my family. I am also acutely aware that it doesn't come so easily for others which is why I take a very supportive approach to assisting others reach their health and fitness goals. This does not mean I'm a pushover it simply means you will not get the screaming drill sergeant when you turn up to my gym to create a better and healthier version of yourself (I can put that hat on if it works for you though)
At Resultz Gym with created an extremely supportive environment and welcoming culture. We pride ourselves on offering as much support as possible to every member we have.
I am married to my beautiful wife Alison of almost 20 years and have two adorable teenage girls. We have certainly had our share of breaking down barriers in life. We had a failed business around 10 years ago that cost us around a quarter of a million dollars and as a result lost our house. We could have chosen to wallow in pity, but instead chose to take massive action and rebuild to where we are today.
For me, life is an adventure and I want to experience as much as possible as well as assisting others do the same.
