Maximum Endorphins was created by Director and head coach Matty Earles, a Level 3 Exercise Referral Specialist who is deeply passionate about using physical activity to enhance the quality of life for individuals through this platform.
Matty discovered the idea of Maximum Endorphins after a traumatic incident led his GP to suggest antidepressant medication. Instead of medication, Matty chose to pursue an intense physical activity program, realizing how crucial physical activity was for his well-being, a connection he had not previously made.
Following this realization, Matty became certified as a Level 3 Exercise Referral specialist and founded Maximum Endorphins. The concept behind Maximum Endorphins is simple:
"if you aren't smiling, you aren't doing it right."
"Endorphins are hormones that are released when your body feels pain or stress. They are produced in your brain and act as messengers in your body.
Endorphins are produced to help relieve pain, reduce stress and improve mood.
Endorphins can be boosted by exercising, eating, having sex, getting a massage and many other ways"
OUTSIDE OF THE BOX
Matty has a background in amateur boxing as a former Amateur Boxing Association of England boxing coach and chairman of Hockwell Ring ABC. He's learnt through the experience of his athletes that boxing can be a key transforming tool for stronger minds and those wanting increased resilience and confidence through better understanding of their physicality.
Boxing has been demonstrated to have countless positive impacts on mental health and Matty often uses this tool to engage with young people within Luton's pupil referral units and within a weekly junior boxing session he runs to engage young people within the community.
Matty has not always been an active individual. Quite the opposite in fact. As a young man Matty drunk, smoked and partied to excess and it wasn't until around the age of twenty five years old he decided to turn things around.
Over the years Matty has run competitively, been a part of a cycling race team and competed three time for Great Britain Age Group Duathlon Team, twice at the European Championships and once at World Championships.
Since becoming a personal trainer Matty has drawn on his competitive experiences to provide strength and conditioning programmes for those from the following backgrounds:
- Professional / Amateur Boxers
- Elite runners
- Cyclists
- Triathletes & Duathletes
- Para Athletes
- Weight loss / Gain journey
In his nine to five Matty previously worked as a Healthy Lifestyle Specialist for a local organization, using Physical Activity & Nutrition to improve quality of life for those suffering with a variety of conditions. These principles are incorporated into all Matts programmes where he draws upon a wide network of specialists to offer other complementary components to his clients as and when they need them, a real plus to working with Matt.
