Matt Shultz

Matt’s passion for personal training is built on his own personal journey and experiences in healthcare. Matt Shultz is a personal trainer certified through the American College of Sports Medicine with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biochemistry from the University of New Mexico. Matt is a US Air Force veteran, where he served as a paramedic and nurse. During his enlistment, he worked in a variety of medical settings ranging from an ambulance to providing care for wounded soldiers returning from deployment.

In high school, Matt initially struggled with depression and anxiety. He found sports and fitness to be a catalyst in feeling better, revealing the strong connection between physical activity and mental health. He believes that physical activity was a critical piece to setting him on a pathway to feeling better both physically and mentally, and he hopes to help others do the same.

As a paramedic and nurse, Matt worked with many patients dealing with the symptoms of chronic disease. He began to develop an ethos of disease prevention and wellness, focusing on how health relates to our behaviors, mindset, and environment. Matt discovered that effective coaching can be the missing piece in reaching a health goal. Combining coaching with his love for physical activity, Matt decided to become a personal trainer, helping guide clients on a journey to better health. 

Outside of work, Matt loves to spend his time with his wife Laura. They enjoy time outdoors through activities like camping and horse riding. Matt also enjoys visiting with his large family in Lancaster and a good book next to the fireplace.
