Matt Hill - Studio Manager
As the manager of Empowered Fitness, Matt is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations, ensuring the gym runs smoothly and that every member enjoys a welcoming and supportive environment.
His role involves looking after the team of trainers, coordinating classes, and making sure each member has access to the resources and guidance they need to achieve their fitness goals. Matt’s hands-on approach and dedication to the well-being of the community are central to his leadership.
Matt’s passion for helping people goes beyond management. He loves seeing members push themselves to new limits and achieve things they never thought possible.

“I believe exercise is one of the most basic human needs, so it's brilliant to see people reintegrate it into their daily lives and feel amazing for it.”
While Matt enjoys lifting weights and tackling any fitness challenge that comes his way, he also values balance. In his downtime, you’ll find him on nature walks with his family, recharging and spending quality time with friends.
