Coach Matt and his team are great!!! They make training both effective and enjoyable. They focus on building strength, speed, my son Aaron loves going for training . Highly recommend.
My son loves coming to Wilmington Strength. He does travel hockey with the Junior Seahawks and we felt he needed some off ice work to build strength. Coach Matt and his team do a great job of teaching fundamentals in a safe and energetic way. There are kids of all ages and sports backgrounds working out together. Best I can tell they are all enjoying it.
Have been with Matt for two months and friend have noticed the positive changes in my strength and posture.
Expert coaching, positive environment, great facility!
Can't say enough great things about this place. Great trainers and flexible hours - we've seen tremendous growth in not just the physical strength of our 8th grade son, but more importantly the belief that he can achieve with hard work and dedication.
Matt has been a real difference maker. I’m on my seventh week. I see a big difference in my strength already. I was recommended by friends and it’s been a great journey so far.

Wilmington Strength is an exceptional training facility, and I can't recommend it enough! My 12-year-old daughter has been working with Matt Secrest through the Youth Athlete training program, and the results have been outstanding. Matt is not only an expert in strength and conditioning, but he's also a motivational trainer who truly cares about his athletes. Matt has a unique ability to connect with young athletes, making the training both effective and enjoyable. He focuses on building strength, improving conditioning, and fostering confidence, all while ensuring the workouts are safe and age-appropriate. My daughter has gained not just physical strength, but also a sense of accomplishment and self-belief, thanks to Matt's guidance. If you're looking for a place where your child can develop athletically and personally, Wilmington Strength is the place to go. Matt Secrest and his team are top-notch, Less
My 12 year old daughter participated in the youth athlete training. She had a great experience. She said the program was well organized and the plan created for her was good. She was proud of her accomplishments and told me about her progress after every class. We had to discontinue because of sport commitments but will absolutely be coming back.
Both of my kiddos were apart of the athletic youth program here at Wilmington strength. Matt is great with the kids! He really listenings to what you’re looking to accomplish and has a specific workout planned for each kid. We did it a couple times a week and the kids enjoyed it. The only reason why we’re not continuing as we are moving out of the area. I highly recommend Matt and his staff.
Matt is awesome! Highly recommend him as a PT
We love Wilmington Strength. I send my 13 yr old son, and he has learned so much about weightlifting, goal setting, and all around athleticism. We love it!
This place is amazing! The passion, dedication and focus they give the young athletes is exactly what they need to stay safe and excel!
Matt and the guys are high energy but patient and take the time to teach technique. They have done a great job with my son as he develops.
My 13 year old son has been training at Wilmington Strength for a month now. He loves it - is motivated, seeing changes in his strength and agility and is growing more and more confident. The coaches are a great blend of support and motivation - we are so happy with the whole program!
Wilmington Strength is an encouraging, welcoming, and fun environment that I am grateful to have found. I rarely feel comfortable in a gym setting, but Wilmington Strength is an exception. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to move better in a positive environment!
My kids love the workout and I've been very happy with the coaches. The coaches really focus on good form and building on fundamentals. Highly recommend for anyone looking to improve athleticly
My son is loving Wilmington Strength. He is learning how to navigate a gym and use correct form and I love that Matt and Sean are right there to make sure he learns the right way. I also love that he follows his own plan to work at his own pace to get stronger…it’s the benefits of personal training but in a group setting. Awesome stuff!
Matt and Evan do an excellent job with the WS youth athlete training program. Both are knowledgeable, patient and supportive.
Matt and Evan are top-notch, both personally and professionally.

Matt knows his craft and has set up a program for me that is doable with my physical limitations and goals in mind. If there is something I cannot do physically, he is able to quickly replace the movement with another, achieving the same results. I have definitely made progress increasing in strength and muscle.

This has been amazing for my son! Matt and his team are wonderful with the kids, totally relatable and encouraging! So happy we found your organization.
Matt and his team do a phenomenal job. Creating an atmosphere along with the right knowledge, this has been the perfect fit for our son’s workouts. Highly recommend!
Best gym and trainers in Wilmington. As a Dr. Of chiropractic I'm very impressed with their knowledge of anatomy and the musculoskeletal system. Their focus on form and well thought out training programs individualized to the client is awesome. My lean muscle mass has improved, my body fat is down, and I feel great! Come and join us and get your health on!
Matt has been a great coach for our son. When he started working out with Matt last year we didn’t really know what to expect but fast forward to now, and it has been one of the best decisions we have made.

Best gym and trainers in Wilmington!! Matt has helped me so much over the last 4 years. I feel so much much stronger and healthier! And the program is always individualized to me and my needs. I also love seeing what he does with the Wilmington Strength youth athletes. I highly recommend Wilmington Strength!!
Evan is a great personal trainer and I appreciated his dedication to improving my strength and mobility, while at the same time being mindful of a recent injury. As one of his older clients he was excellent at tailoring my strength training program to suit my abilities. His positive approach and professional attitude made my workouts an enjoyable experience!
Best gym and trainers in Wilmington! I’m in their youth athlete training program and their training has helped me improve batting power, speed, strength, and overall athleticism.

My son is in the youth training program and loves it! He is learning how to safely lift weight and condition his body. Matt and Evan are amazing and really push each to be their personal best.
Matt and Evan are super knowledgeable and create a great atmosphere! I have made a lot of progress so far and have no doubts I’ll reach my goals with their support!
Matt and Evan are excellent coaches and get a lot of hard work out of my youth athlete!! They are kind, compassionate, and expect their athletes to give them their best while supporting them no matter where they start!
Matt is awesome, he called me right after I reached out to him regarding a simple exercise that I need help with. He was nice enough to show me what I need to work on and how to reach my goals.

I’m not a typical workout guy, but when my 13-year-old son started working out with Matt to do weightlifting for baseball, I realized this was something different. Matt is all about form and execution and tracking results. He’s positive for my son and for me too. Great location and equipment.
Working with Matt at Wilmington Strength is one of the best decisions I have ever made. He is positive and focused and has helped me to regain strength and stability overall, and specifically for an injury sustained in a fall. I will continue to work and learn from him as part of my regular health care routine. Thanks Matt!
Matt brings high energy, enthusiasm and knowledge of developing strength, flexibility and athleticism. Not only have I gained results but it’s fascinating to see and hear about athletes he’s helping to excel in their sport. Such as increasing young people’s sprinting speeds and agility.
Matt is an amazing coach! He is able to help both beginners and experienced strength trainers reach their goals. I really enjoy working with him – he’s encouraging, knowledgeable and detail oriented. So glad I found Wilmington Strength!

Great atmosphere & staff! Definitely getting the results I was looking for in a trainer with a well-equipped space.
Wilmington Strength has been such an amazing experience! I have gained strength and flexibility. I'm now able to get up off the floor without assistance when playing with my grandsons. Matt makes working out fun!!
Incredible gym!!! Would seriously recommend this place to anyone looking for a personal trainer in Wilmington. Matt is highly attentive and encouraging! I took a few years away from lifting weights and after booking sessions for the last two months, I am incredibly pleased with his workout program and the results I’m seeing! 10/10!
Love the program Matt created for me. I’ve seen faster progress working with him to reach my goals! He breaks down every movement and teaches a lot of technique.
Matt is an excellent trainer. He has helped my 13 year old son improve his strength and speed in just one month. I can see the difference at his baseball practices. He takes his time to teach the proper techniques and prepares a plan to reach my son's goals. He makes the youth session fun and challenging. He attends to every kid's fitness goal.
Matt is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and an all runaround great person. I've really enjoyed training with him these past few months.

Coach Matt is great! My kids love going to workouts with him. He has taught them so much and they love to keep track of their progress. I highly recommend Matt and his program!
Matt is an amazing trainer! Extremely knowledgeable on the various muscle groups and how to effectively get the most out of them.

I highly recommend him for whatever your needs are whether it’s training, toning, maintaining, or building!

Matt is super focused on safety, form and progress. He works with our 13 year old son to help him grow stronger and faster—safely. All the young athletes love going to workout with Matt because they trust and respect him. Even my anti-gym husband now trains with him!

He also focuses on agility which helps with their fielding and base running. These workouts have been a great addition to their baseball practice. Less
Having worked out with Matt for 2 years now I highly recommend him. He has a strong understanding of strength training and exercise programming. Best of all is his passion for what he does, his understanding of strengths and weaknesses incorporated in his programming and his ability to provide positive reinforcement to help succeed in reaching whatever your fitness goals might be.

Matt is an excellent trainer who knows whats up! He listens to what your goals are and cares about your progressions. He has been a tremendous help with my mobility, my strength, and my misconceptions about lifting. He is fun to workout with and won't let you quit. Two thumbs up!! Glad I found him.
Matt is very professional and makes sure all his workouts are safe. He makes personalized workout plans that are specific to your fitness level and address your personal goals.

Secret Strength builds a plan that fits your schedule, at your tempo that simply gets results. Recommend to anyone looking for a personal trainer!
I can’t say enough about Matt Secrest. He truly cares about his clients and making sure they reach their goals. I have been working with Matt for about five months now and have seen a huge improvement in my health and strength.
I’ve been training with Matt for a couple of months now, and he has been great to work with. His attention to detail is spot on with his strength training program. I’ve worked out with other personal trainers in the past, and Matt is definitely top tier.
I've been training with Matt for over a year and he's the most knowledgeable guy around. Great communication and will help you achieve your goals!
I've trained with Matt for a little over a year now, and through his meticulous tracking of my workouts, we know I've gained strength and endurance.

I recommend him for many reasons ! He is super knowledgeable, wants to help and perfect your technique to where you get stronger ! He has great communication skills and it’s a comfortable setting when you are there !
I’ve been working with Matt for 6 months and I have nothing but good things to say. He is an excellent trainer and very knowledgeable. I’ve learned so many new things and I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. I would 100% recommend him.
I cannot say enough good/great things about Matt, he is an awesome trainer. Over the years i have worked with many different trainers and Matt is the most knowledgeable and motivating trainer i've had the pleasure of working with. I highly recommend him, you won't be disappointed.
Matt was a phenomenal teacher and created a program that best fit my needs. His enthusiasm, attention to detail and focus on fundamentals was exactly what I needed to get stronger and flexible. More importantly, I learned a lot about the fundamentals to lifting. Highly recommend him to anyone interested in getting great coaching and motivation.
Honestly, after training with Matt I realized how you should train your body instead of just lugging weights at the gym and using all kinds of fancy machines. I used to train with a physical trainer before and boy was I in pain after every session and not feeling that I was getting strong at all.

Honestly, after training with Matt I realized how you should train your body instead of just lugging weights at the gym and using all kinds of fancy machines. I used to train with a physical trainer before and boy was I in pain after every session and not feeling that I was getting strong at all. Lifts were always causing me problems on the lower back and he would hardly give pointers to correct the same. I came across Matt's profile on Thumbtack while I was looking to switch coaches and finally I found the right coach who gives complete attention to the client for the session correcting mistakes till you get how to do the movement properly. It is a slow process and Matt has incredible patience, because you need to build strength to pull of a complex lift correctly. The results are now starting to show after training with him for 3 months - I can do proper deadlifts, kettlebell swings, complex movements and add to that my short term goal of doing proper pullups. His training methods improved my posture and my constant back pain is gone and I can see the difference in my strength. If you are looking for a coach who gives you proper attention and makes you work towards your personal strength goal, Matt is the coach you are looking for. He keeps the session fun and throws a new challenge every time to keep things interesting! Less
I started training with Matt 6 months ago because I’m in my mid 60’s and I know that I’m loosing muscle to fat. Each session he taught me exercises to help me achieve my goals. Also, he shared his knowledge about the physiology of each exercises and how and why it benefited me. I’m feeling stronger, leaner and healthier and look forward to continuing on this journey to fitness.

I found Strength Farm and Matt while shopping for a trainer to help me to get stronger fast. At 34 years old, with a very busy life and only a few week to train before I headed off to Basic Training with the Army National Guard, I showed up and saw huge results. Matt utilized very simple, doable strength training techniques paired with consistency; along with awesome coaching, encouragement and accountability I went from not being able to do one push up to 15 in a few short weeks. In those few short weeks I gained many simple strength building tasks I now have on my belt to take with me even after our training together. Matt is invested to his clients and as your trainer you will experience his passion in helping others to achieve their strength goals. I felt a great community vibe from this gym though due to my time constraints I was only able to invest in a short amount of time here, and I will already miss going to my training days. Definitely would go back. Highly recommended, good trainers make all the difference! Less

Matt is everything you want in a personal trainer; he creates challenging programs tailored to your personal goals and abilities, pushes you when you have more to give and modifies when you have nothing left. I came to Matt 4 months ago after my Wife started training with him. Having limited strength training experience myself, I was fully reliant on Matt to teach me everything from basics lifts to complex moves while only giving him one day a week to do so. In every session, he provides continued feedback for proper form or modifications to ensure wholistic health and avoiding injury. The knowledge, strength gains and confidence planning workouts on my own between sessions has been truly astounding with so much credit going to him! He’s friendly while still being able to push you just enough past your mental limits to continue down the path towards your evolving goals. I would recommend Matt to anyone looking for personalized training, he’ll help you get from wherever you are to wherever you want to be! Less

I came to Matt after a concussion because I didn’t know what I could do to work out safely. He was able to provide many modifications and unique exercises to make the most of where I was in my recovery. He was always checking in along the way too. Once I was approved to work out harder, he created balanced sequences and programs based on my fitness goals. He pushes when you need a push and provides constructive movement tips to make sure you get the most from training.

Matt is a extremely knowledgeable and detailed trainer. He evaluated my specific needs eg. (very sore biceps tendon from too much swimming ) and helped me build up and strengthen the surrounding muscels so i could recover. Also, he has helped me strengthen the areas that needed to be enhanced so that i could be a much stronger 72 year old man. It is quite evident to me that he is very studious in his knowledge of the body and how it functions so that he is always aware of anything that would be harmful to me. Thanks Matt , your great. Less
