Based at the heart of London's sophisticated Fitzrovia, Matt Hodges welcomes some of the world’s best-known celebrities, VIPs and billionaires into his state-of-the-art and highly exclusive studio which provides a private, chic haven for those striving to look their best. With nearly two decades of experience as a PT and massage therapist, Matt has seen it all and been in more intimate and compromising positions than a game of twister. With many tears, tantrums, and diamond-encrusted tiaras thrown in along the way, life on the gym floor isn't always what it's cracked up to be. Matt, 40 and originally from South London, has experienced many laughs along the way and has enough material to write a threequel! But with all significant highlights can also come life-changing lows, which Matt shares honestly and openly within his first book – Behind Gym Doors (released December 2022). As well as the glitz, glamour and Instagram posts of the showbiz world, Matt’s writing often delves into the nitty gritty truth behind the multi-billion-dollar fitness industry. - a business saturated with quick crazes and whacky trends - drinking bodily fluids, consuming cotton wool, eating raw placen-tas and fat freezing contraptions—often fronted and endorsed by a multitude of famous faces and teen pin ups. The fitness industry, can be a dark, dangerous and overly influential place. Over run by under qualified instructors, fitness influencers and wannabe trainers. A darker side of his comedic story lies away from his laptop full of signed NDAs. Matt's own per-sonal, physical and mental health issues - which on occasion have nearly ended more than just his PT career. Herniated disks, lawsuits, cyber bullies, deaths and of course keeping afloat during the Covid pan-demic, was a heavy load to bear. The first chapter of Behind Gym Doors Matt wrote as the last chapter, and what felt like the end of his own story and an escape from his spiraling depression. Thankfully, writing Behind Gym Doors and embarking on his journey as an author/fitness writer it soon became the therapy he needed to feel better, think clearer and get his life back on track.
