Matt Fox is a husband, father of two, cancer survivor, entrepreneur, and online coach who has been helping busy parents and professionals build stronger, healthier, and more energised lives since 2016 – without needing a gym.
As a husband and father, Matt understands firsthand the challenge of balancing health, family, business, and the demands of everyday life. His philosophy is simple: your health should support your life, not consume it.
That perspective was strengthened when Matt was diagnosed with testicular cancer in his early twenties. The experience forced him to confront his own mortality and changed the way he viewed health, resilience, gratitude, and longevity. It remains one of the defining experiences behind the work he does today.
Before entering the fitness industry, Matt spent years competing at a high level in tennis and pursuing a professional sporting career. Following his recovery from cancer, he stepped away from competitive sport and joined his family’s timber and hardware business in Australia, where he developed the work ethic and business foundations that would later help him build his own companies.
In 2016, while his wife was pregnant with their first child, Matt launched Bodyweight Built. What began as a small online coaching business quickly grew into a global community built around a simple belief: people shouldn’t have to live in a gym to be healthy, strong, fit, and confident.
In 2019, Matt and his family relocated to Noosa, Australia, where he built and operated a highly successful outdoor bootcamp while continuing to expand his online coaching business. During this time, he coached clients around the world and refined the practical, no-nonsense approach that has become his trademark.
Rather than promoting extreme diets, endless cardio, or fitness fads, Matt focuses on helping people build sustainable habits, functional strength, energy, mobility, and long-term health. His mission is to help people create a body that performs well, feels good, and supports the life they want to live.
In 2023, Matt and his family relocated to the Gold Coast, Australia, before making a much bigger move later that year to Phuket, Thailand. Since then, he has established a business presence in Dubai, UAE, built a family home in Phuket, and now operates internationally between Thailand and the United Arab Emirates.
Today, Matt reaches more than 700,000 people across Instagram and YouTube, sharing practical advice on training, health, mindset, family life, and performance. His work has been featured on national television, in international media publications, and on leading health and fitness platforms including Men’s Health and Women’s Health.
Whether he’s coaching clients, creating content, building businesses, or spending time with his family, Matt’s mission remains the same:
*To help people build a stronger body, more energy, greater confidence, and a healthier life – without needing a gym.*
