MATTHEW
FOUNDER
HEAD TRAINER
Matthew’s credentials:
Level 3 Personal trainer
Level 4 Sports massage therapist
Level 2 calisthenics certification
Nutrition coach
Kettlebell coach
FA level 2 football coach
Matthew founded Revive in 2019 after more than ten years’ experience working as a top level personal and group trainer internationally. Recognising that the industry was missing something, and wanting to help people to grow into the best version of themselves away from the typical gym environment, Revive was born.
Matthew’s passion for fitness started at a young age when he used to compete at a high level in athletics focusing on 100m sprint, high jump and discus along with playing football at a competitive level. Following a serious injury and seven knee operations, he wanted to put his experience and knowledge into helping others.
Matthew has been competing in the premier functional fitness competition Hyrox, regularly since it first came to the UK in 2021, where he qualified and competed in the World Championship finals in Las Vegas. Through this, has come the legendary team training sessions and the small group sessions where an amazing Revive fitness community is being built, and a squad of Revivers representing at Hyrox!
In this day and age where so much focus is on mental health, Matthew is delivering pioneering training styles at a unique venue, where training is about performance and longevity — not image and diets.
KATEY

Katey’s credentials:
Sports Massage Therapist
(Levels 3,4 & 5 ITEC)
Diploma in Hot Bamboo Therapy
Equine Sports Massage Therapist
Hyrox Academy Coach
Dressage Trainer
Netball Coach
Katey comes from an extensive sporting background, competing at a high level throughout life in Netball, Hockey, Dressage, Athletics, Swimming, Dance, also coaching in these sports. She once played football at half time in a Watford FC game, to a packed out crowd! Although Katey is good at Goal Defence in Netball, a full size football goal at 13 years old proved not to be quite so successful!
Katey first qualified as an Equine Sports Massage Therapist over twenty years ago and has had great success improving the athletic performance of both amateur and elite competition horses.
Whilst teaching Dressage, she noticed the occasional correlation between horse and rider pathology, and after suffering 2 knee injuries (ACL and meniscus tears) in Netball, felt inspired to take her skillset into the world of human Sports Massage Therapy.
Katey has gone on to work successfully with all manner of athletes — from people wishing to stay active and pain-free for a more enjoyable life, or those just starting out on their fitness journey, all the way up to Paris Olympic hopefuls. She combines her empathetic energy with Sports and Soft Tissue Therapy expertise to offer a unique massage experience. You will feel you’ve had effective muscle release work and a chance to relax in the beautiful space we have created here for you at Revive.
