Matt Izzo is a transformation expert, a holistic fitness coach, and an Ironman athlete. He spent most of his life being obese and depressed. He had low self-esteem and self-limiting beliefs, which held him back from unleashing his potential. Then, he transformed himself into the positive role model he is today. He went from thinking he could run only 3 miles to losing 75 pounds and completing an Ironman.
Matt is now a true leader in the fitness and wellness world. But that came only after he conquered his self-limiting mindset to gain the power and confidence to tackle his challenges. Through his ups and downs, he has realized that completing his goals isn’t the end. He needed to keep pushing forward, maintain consistency, and work towards new goals. Join Matt as he brings Jamie up to speed with his incredible story. Now Matt is focused on helping others transform themselves to live their best lives.
“You have to know how to treat yourself with unconditional love. And treat yourself with compassion for when you're not making the mark, but hold yourself accountable, demand more from yourself, and go out and execute that.”
“If you believe in yourself, are committed to something, and show up consistently, you will be successful.”
