Matthew Wagner

A life-long martial artist and student of strength, Matthew Wagner has lived coast-to-coast and been fortunate enough to have some really exceptional teachers. Starting Tae Kwon Do at the age of 12 helped him bridge a personal gap from being a meek video-game loving nerd, into an active, athletic, self-confident video-game loving nerd. Eventually Matt found himself in LA training and instructing muay thai at Renzo Gracie LA (then 5 Star Martial Arts) under a current SF Senior Instructor, John Spezzano. John introduced Matt to kettlebells, barbells, and the bigger concept of the importance of strength and its crossover benefit with martial arts. He has now been a student of strength for decade. Matt tries to bring his own personal style and technical focus to training his students, and strives to make you confident enough to train safely and effectively. Matt enjoys giving his students now just the "how" but also the "why". Now fully committed to learning and teaching, Matt earned his SFG I in August of 2019, SFG II - August 2021, and SFB in July 2022.

Matt also participates in amateur strongman out of Ritual Strength in Loveland, CO. He has placed 2nd local Open U80kg, Range Wars.

Matt now teaches out of Limitless Gym in Loveland, and provides online/remote instruction.
