Matthew "Matt" Gillan is the Head Coach and General Manager of The Grind Fitness. He leads the gym's Hyrox programming, and his coaching is built around one principle: training should be hard, honest, and coached properly.
Every session Matt runs is intentional. No filler sets, no music-and-mirror gym culture. The work is structured and the technique is tight, which is what makes 55 minutes enough. He coaches every class himself.
