"He is worth all the superlatives – professional, knowledgeable, experienced and creative in his approach to training, nutrition and the mental game."
"The results have been incredible. Knows so much about fitness but most important is a super humble trainer who has his clients’ needs ahead of anything else."
"It’s a tailored program specific to my needs (I’m a swimmer!). He helped me turn the corner with my stiff hip flexors and shoulders, which is paying dividends in the pool."
"His program has been easy to follow with structure and videos for all the exercises, and extremely effective for my weight loss and toning."
"Since working with him, I’ve built serious strength… Brad’s support with both training and nutrition has genuinely made a real difference."
"I’ve really benefited from Bradley’s online coaching… I genuinely believe the online coaching has made a big difference."
After 13 years of coaching, the same pattern kept showing up. The clients who got lasting results weren’t doing more. They were doing the right things, consistently.
The Core 6 is the framework I built from that experience. Six fundamentals. Applied consistently. For life.
The clients who changed their lives weren’t the ones who worked hardest. They were the ones who mastered the basics and refused to overcomplicate it.

Bradley MatthewsI’m Bradley Matthews. Personal Trainer and Strength & Conditioning Coach based in Brisbane, Australia.
I’ve spent over 13 years helping people become stronger, fitter and healthier through training that is structured, progressive and built for the long term.
Before coaching, I represented England in swimming at national level. Sport taught me early that meaningful progress comes from doing the right things consistently — not constantly chasing the next program, trend or quick fix.
Today, I coach clients at FunctionWell in Newstead while continuing to train seriously myself across strength and endurance. I believe good coaching should combine experience, evidence and an understanding of the person in front of you.
My goal is simple: help you build strength, fitness and health that lasts.
The same quality coaching, anywhere in Australia. Custom programming, weekly check-ins, video feedback, and direct access to Bradley throughout the week.
Everything is built around you. Your equipment, your schedule, your goals. No templates. No assistants. Just Bradley coaching you properly from wherever you are.
