About Matt

Why I Started Training

Before launching Matt Kemp Fit, I worked in sports and recreation at various levels. Throughout that time, my passion for fitness became undeniable and led to the launch of Matt Kemp Fit.

I believe everyone has the right to be healthy and that health can vary in what it looks like for each person, so you need a personalized approach on how to find your fit!

Certifications to Make it Real

I started training some friends and clients before I was certified because I loved the subject matter. However, I strongly felt I needed to be certified to feel like I'm "legit" and launch this business officially

American College of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer
American Heart Association Basic Life Support Certified

Passion for Helping Others

In business environments, I was a multiple year "nicest guy in the office" award recipient. I have always worked in sports, but more importantly I have 10 years experience in customer facing roles and my passion to help others is at the forefront of why I became a personal trainer.

What I Do for Fun

I was definitely a jock in my high school years and played baseball along with other sports for many years beyond high school. Eventually, I caught the bug of obstacle course racing and running and have completed over 20 races since 2016 including the NYC Marathon and Spartan North American Age Group Championships

Home and Family

I live in Brooklyn, NY and work with clients one-on-one in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.
