About tHIS BLOG

Slim wasn't bad.  I actually kind of liked slender and I could deal with thin but scrawny, scrawny was the worst. I was born as a fat baby but after a short stint as an overweight infant I began my life as a thin boy that hit a growth spurt between 6th and 7th grade resulting in my exceptional slightness being stretched into an incredibly awkward adolescent. I entered high school having stopped growing. Dreams that my delicate frame would fill out as a teenager were not to come true and at 6 feet 2 inches and under 140 pounds, I was the scrawny guy.

My name is Matthew J. Mahoney and I am a Health and Wellness, certified personal trainer, group exercise instructor and health coach.  I have had hundreds of clients and taught over 10,000 hours of fitness classes. I have also had the opportunity to work with everyone from recovering couch potatoes to athletes as well as individuals from every stage between child and older adulthood. Over the course of that experience I have had a lot of time to think about fitness and the conclusion I have come to is that we must understand ourselves and what makes us all different if we are ever going to make our workouts truly work for us. In therapy you lie down and in exercise you move but what if both were able to tell us more about ourselves?  Would you be interested in learning?
