🌟Meet Your FIT BREA Coach🌟iniquez
Growing up, Matthew was an enthusiastic athlete, with football holding a special place in his heart. He found joy in strength training, not only for the gains but also for the camaraderie with friends and teammates. After his high school sports journey, he continued strength training as a means to maintain his health.
When it came time to choose a career, Matthew knew he wanted to focus on helping and teaching others.
Matthew earned both his undergraduate and master’s degrees at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF). Throughout his career, he’s had the privilege of working with various sports teams, including beach volleyball, women’s soccer, women’s water polo, swim and dive, and football, among others.
Matthew’s mission is to enhance the performance of both athletes and the general population. He believes that “working out” is simply a form of training, tailored to meet each individual’s unique goals. While there are many techniques, the underlying principles remain consistent.
In addition to being a key member of our personal training and group training programs, Matthew will also take on the role of lead coach for our Youth Performance Program.
Currently, he serves as an assistant strength and conditioning coach at California State University Fullerton, bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to our team.
