Matthew McGinty — Owner / Certified Fitness Trainer

Hello, my name is Matt. I am the owner of Fitness Together in Canton and Sharon, MA. I have been an ISSA certified fitness trainer for five years. I am passionately motivated by helping others set, meet and exceed their goals! We hope we can get you in soon to start changing your life!

A little history about myself: I am a small town person. I have my roots out in the Berkshires where both my parents still live. I have two great older brothers who make their homes in the Boston area which is ultimately what brought me out here. I met my wife Stefanie out in the Berkshires thirteen years ago. We are happily married; making our home in Dedham, MA. We have a new addition to our family, Andrew Joseph McGinty "AJ", born on May 27th 2008. He's the future owner of FT Sharon and Canton. In addition to AJ, our other "kids" are two incredibly loving dogs (Weimaraners) named Spencer and Daisy. On any given day, you'll see Stef around the studio working out and I am sure you will all learn what I learned twelve years ago; she is the sweetest most loving person you'll ever meet. Stef and I both received our undergraduate degrees from Western New England College where I also have my Masters Degree in Business Administration (MBA). I have worked in technology for my entire career; most recently serving as a senior manager at a software company called "FAST". Even when my FAST schedule took me all over the world, I still made time to train and motivate people like you. While it may sound like a cliche', I like making a difference and truly seeing people meet their goals; ultimately helping you change your life!

I am an ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer as well as being certified by the Red Cross in adult and child CPR. Personally, I enjoy functional, polymeric and aerobic training. Endurance training is also something I enjoy greatly whether I am training a client or myself. Are you training for the Marathon or the Pan Mass Challenge? Give us a call, we can help! I am an avid cyclist both on the road bike and the mountain bike. Cycling often intersects with my other passion which is cancer advocacy. We have all lost too many family members to the horrible disease if cancer. I am proud to ride the Pan Mass Challenge every year for team Kermit. We ride to rid cancer from the world for AJ's generation. You can see a picture of AJ and I at the 2008 Pan Mass Challenge to the right.

I also enjoy running, skiing, hiking and just about anything that gets me outside year-round. Fitness is so much more than a gym membership or a run around your neighborhood. It's a lifestyle change that can truly change you permanently and I say that from experience. Like we hear from people say everyday at Fitness Together, I once set out to "lose 20lbs". Less than a year later, I lost over 100lbs. I am a testament that you can set aggressive goals, dedicate yourself to these goals, be held accountable and ultimately succeed! An experience like this changes you forever! I want to share that same passion with each and every one of you. Schedule your session today and start down the road to a new you!
