Build your happy body
Based out of our beachside Woonona fitness studio, Hexa Life offers comprehensive personalised programs to help you improve your quality of life through training, nutrition, sleep, and stress optimisation.
Build strength and muscle. Improve cardio fitness. Lose fat. Boost energy and confidence. Add quality years to your life. And enjoy the process.
Coupled with Matt’s personalised programs that are focused on building holistic habits for good health. Keeps you coming back - sustainable fitness. I highly recommend !
My motivation was to get fit for a ski trip to Japan, after a few failed attempts I discovered Matt and Hexa Life, his preliminary questions really set up the training program perfectly for me.
It's great to see a young man set up a business that seemly so effortlessly distinguishes itself from a very crowded market place.
Give it a go, I can't imagine anyone not being satisfied.
Early starts, spectacular sunrises, pushing physical goals I never thought I could, and making new friends as well, it is a journey I am enjoying knowing that Matt has my back in helping me reach my goal of wellness, strength and resilience in my older years.
l just recently did the 6 week challenge and I went from 87.2kg down to 83.5kg and I’m feeling way fitter, healthier and more confident in myself which is more then I really thought was possible in 6 weeks!
I would recommend Matt and his training programs to anyone looking to get fitter from any fitness level as he has the skills and knowledge to help get you where you want to go with any fitness goal.
His knowledge and tailored sessions have already helped me achieve many goals and seeing the results is motivational for me to keep going.
...Throughout the training Matt pays attention to your movements, helps you correct them, adapts them during the session and of course encourages you and congratulates you for the effort you make.☺️ He is a very human, attentive and friendly coach... Everything is done so that you feel yourself progressing session after session and that you feel your body getting stronger after each one...
...Thank you Matt for your good humour, your kindness and your professionalism, I really saw and felt the results.
Optimal health doesn't happen through exercise alone.
To get your body humming, we also need to consider your nutrition, sleep, recovery, stress, and other lifestyle factors. So we provide guidance, resources and support in all the different areas relevant to you and your goals.
One size does not fit all.
What works for one person, may not work for others. We all have different genetics, different bodies, different preferences, different lifestyles. So we work with you 1-1. We create personalised plans, collect individual data, give you maximum attention in our semi-private training environment, and 24/7 support.
A happy body. Without the misery.
Many think health and fitness goes hand-in-hand with restrictive diets and extreme training. But it doesn't have to. At Hexa, we prioritise balance and sustainability — training where you feel better walking out than when you walked in, nutrition that doesn't restrict your favourite foods, habits that create life long change.
For everybody & every body.
You'll find no dark rooms, black walls, or blaring bad music. We're building the most welcoming health and wellness community that exists. No matter your experience. Not a "gym person"? No problem, you don't need to be.
How it works
Science-based exercise programs. Designed to specifically target the atrophies of aging. So you can do the things you love, longer.
Where Energy Meets Quality
Our semi-private personal training sessions (max. 4 people) are designed to give you the quality of personal training with the energy of a team environment.
Complete Fitness
Exactly what you need to hit your health and fitness goals. It is — what we call — "complete fitness". Strength, mobility, injury proofing, cardio, and down-regulation all in one.

We have more access to information and technology than ever before. Though many of our health outcomes are getting worse.
66% of Aussies are overweight or obese. Chronic disease contributes to 90% of all deaths each year.
And while we’re living longer thanks to medical advancements, we aren’t living better.
We now have overwhelming evidence that disease prevention and a better quality of life are within our control through lifestyle choices.
But the challenge lies in implementation.
If you’re over 35, you’ve probably faced a few common barriers to creating a healthier lifestyle:
Finding the time to get started
Intimidating environments that make it hard to walk in the door
Generic, one-size-fits-all approaches that don't consider your unique needs
Unsustainable programs or diets that force you to sacrifice happiness for results
You either don’t get started or you don’t stick to it.
That’s why I started Hexa — to give people the tools and support to make lifelong change.
Science-based. Time efficient. Sustainable. Enjoyable. Effective.
I’d love for you to give it a try.
