About the Instructor

Hey there, my name is Matt G. and I’m an online personal trainer based in Ontario, Canada. This course has been specifically designed to help anyone who’s looking to lose weight.

I’ve trained myself for over a decade, and others online for the last 2.5 years, and I can tell you I’ve felt the same frustration that you have when it comes to searching the Internet for weight loss protocols. There is so much information out there, some great and some not so great. The biggest challenge for most people seems to be the consolidation of the information that actually benefits them. This is why I’ve created the Weight Loss 101 course. I know what works and what doesn’t, so I’ve filtered out all the nonsense for you and came up with a very straightforward approach. This course will teach you the bare basics of weight loss so you can finally start improving your fitness and living your best life!
