Matt Hoskins

"Ideally, the gym is a place where we learn to master our position in the physical world. Your experience in the gym should leave you with the abilities to overcome inflexibility and stiffness, stabilize, utilize inner strength and access your natural athletic power. Once you develop control and awareness in a gym environment, you will be able to summon that control while negotiating the rest of your life activities - albeit recreational activity, competitive athletics or everyday tasks.
My advice is to surround yourself with the most knowledgeable and truly concerned professionals you can find when it comes to seeking assistance in your fitness goals."

“Matt Hoskins is a key element in helping me to obtain a position on the 2008 U.S.A. Women’s Marathon Olympic Team. He has integrated a strengthening program that has and continues to enhance self differentiation: the process of taking one’s own shape and staying in connection with the goal in mind.
Matt’s expertise in the field of mind, body and sport is truly a gift to experience and one that will influence life changes. Individuals seeking a personal trainer with these qualities will definitely open the doorway to creating one’s fullest human potential.”

“Matt Hoskins created the most unique strength and conditioning program I have ever used to prepare for NFL tryouts. As well or better than any NFL or Collegiate strength coach, he put together a highly effective explosive, strength and stability training specifically suited to my position. After working Matt’s program, I was in the best shape of my life and did so well in my tryout with the Indianapolis Colts I will play for them next year. Thanks again!”


Toby Dawson
2005 #2 World Cup Mogul/Freestyle Ranking
2006 Olympic Bronze Medal

“In the summer of 2004, the U.S. Olympic Team paid for Toby Dawson to train with me in preparation for his upcoming World Cup events and the Olympics. I knew Toby had worked with top strength coaches all over the world. So, I had to set up a complete program that was both engaging and highly suited to his corkscrew style on the mogul jumps. Our program outlined a month by month periodized training system that would take his training preparation right up to the Olympics in Italy.
Eight months later Toby was featured in Outside magazine as one of the “top three conditioned athletes on the planet.” In the article, he described and credited the program I had designed for him that he was implementing. After following through with my program, in 2006 Toby beat out the worlds best Mogul/Freestyle skiers, including standout Jeremy Bloom, to capture the Olympic Bronze medal in dramatic fashion.”

“I came to Boulder with the intention of walking on the CU football team as a wide receiver in 2006. I was recommended to Matt Hoskins as a top trainer to design my conditioning program. Right away, I was impressed with his personal history as an athlete and his experience training other high level competitors in a wide variety of sports. Matt created the most comprehensive program for me that I could ever imagine. He included all aspects of conditioning for my position including: plyometrics (explosive movements), sprint programming, adapted power lifts and a week by week periodized strength training layout. Thanks to Matt’s training perspective and expert guidance I made the CU football team as a walk-on wide receiver.”

“You have been my personal trainer for six years. Because of your training program, I have gained muscle strength, overall stamina, and reversed my Osteopena condition. After a loss in bone density (-7.2%) between 1999 and 2000, I have experienced an increase of 12.7%, as recorded at my last bone scan (May 2005). That is a remarkable overall increase of 19.9%! My doctor attributes this increase to the effectiveness of my regular fitness program and proper nutrition. I look forward to more years of working with you.”
