Matt Marney Podcast
Matt Marney has been working in the well-being space for over 20 years. He is a personal trainer, group exercise/Pilates instructor and meditation teacher. This unique blend and experience gives Matt an appreciation and understanding of the mind body connection and its role in promoting optimal health, wellbeing and performance.
Over the last decade Matt has also worked as a teacher trainer where he shares his experience with movement teachers and fitness professionals. This role ensures Matt is up to date with the latest research and developments in the industry and he delivers this knowledge with passion and enthusiasm.
After training hundreds of clients over the years he realised the same misconceptions about health and wellbeing came up time and again therefore he decided to start a corporate wellbeing company Wellness Education Dubai in the hope he could educate and motivate more people. He realised taking the right information and motivation to groups at the workplace could be more impactful and he enjoys educating and inspiring groups to become empowered and create agency (for individuals) to make real change.
This podcast is another vehicle Matt uses to educate and motivate people more people.
