Meet Matt

owner

Matt is the proud co-owner of BENCHMARK FITNESS alongside his wife, Alli!

Driven by a lifelong passion for athletics, Matt has built BENCHMARK into a place where luxury meets community, and fitness is redefined through connection and empowerment. He’s most proud of the growth he sees—not just in physical strength, but in the supportive community that has flourished within BENCHMARK's walls.

For Matt, true strength is built not only through hard work in the gym but through the bonds formed among members who inspire each other to reach new heights. His goal? To foster an inclusive, high-energy environment where everyone—from beginners to elite athletes—can thrive and elevate their fitness journeys together.

Outside of leading and growing BENCHMARK, Matt is a passionate Toronto sports fan, car enthusiast and loves to travel (Italy and Portugal are two of his favourites!). He enjoys cooking and spending time with his family, close friends and three amazing dogs!
