about matty
Matty McCormick is not only an experienced Personal Trainer, but also Fitness Playground Marrickville’s resident comedian. Matty’s background in and passion for Rugby League led him to pursue a career in fitness seven years ago. His patient and realistic approach to fitness coaching is what motivates his clients – everyday people – to achieve greatness.
Matty continuously revolutionises his clients’ workouts with creative challenges and competitions, such as the ingeniously named Cliympics (Client Olympics) and Queen/King of The Gym. With years of experience coaching a wide array of abilities, both in London and Sydney, Matty values giving his clients autonomy and helping them to take pride in even the smallest fitness achievements. Matty believes training should be as fun as it is challenging. His training programs are evidence-based and impactful but, most importantly, enjoyable.

training philosophy
My philosophy is to make training accessible yet challenging and effective for each individual. People are more likely to continue with training if they feel it is making a difference to their lives and are rewarded, so this is why I always celebrate every achievement that clients reach. Fitness should be enjoyable, so I aim to have my clients laughing throughout the workouts… even if they’re laughing at my expense!
