About Matt Leventhal

My name is Matt Leventhal, I am 33 years old, and I am the founder and sole employee of BODY BY MATT FITNESS. I received my Masters (MS) in Exercise Science from California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) and am certified through the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA) as a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), as well as through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) as a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT). 

In addition to my educational background, I have over 13 years of practical training experience in both commercial and private settings. Most notably, I have 2 years of experience working with the Long Beach State Athletics Department. While at the university, I was responsible for assisting in designing,  implementing, and executing, sound strength and conditioning programs for optimizing athletic performance. More specifically, I worked with both the men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, and soccer teams in the weight room.

In addition, I have over 13 years of experience working as a personal trainer at various gyms, including Bay Club, 24 Hour Fitness, and Gloveworx.

As my clientele expanded, I launched my own mobile personal training business in the South Bay and have continued to grow!
