Shift into high gear with Geared Fitness!
After years of inactivity and poor eating habits, I knew I needed a change. I started my fitness journey weighing 315 pounds. After just a month of committing to my workouts and nutrition, I lost 20 pounds — but that was just the beginning.
Through years of building healthier habits and learning to actually enjoy fitness, I transformed my body and mindset.
But in 2016, life threw me a curveball. I was diagnosed with a rare neck mass called a carotid body tumor. The surgery to remove it came with serious complications — severed nerves, chronic pain, and months of relearning how to swallow, speak, and live with a new reality.
With so much of my health out of my control, I made a choice — to focus on what I could control. I turned back to fitness, not just to rebuild my strength, but to rebuild my confidence, resilience, and sense of control over my life.
That experience completely changed how I view fitness — it’s not just about weight loss or workouts. True transformation comes when you shift your mindset. Fitness becomes a tool for building strength, not just in your body, but in your confidence, habits, and ability to face life’s challenges head-on.
That’s exactly why I created Geared Fitness — to help beginners and everyday gym-goers shift gears, break through self-doubt, and build fitness habits that empower them for life. Whether you’re just getting started, feeling stuck, or ready to finally create sustainable habits, I’m here to help you build strength, confidence, and a healthy mindset — one workout at a time.
My name is Matthew Taylor and I am a certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor with the International Sports Science Association (ISSA).

When I first met Matthew he was very kind, and after the first session, I knew that I chose the right person. Thanks to his help I have lost 100 pounds from where I started. Thanks to his guidance and friendship I was able to push myself in personal training and in the gym by myself.”
-Blaine Bayer
“Matthew is awesome! He helped jump-start my fitness journey. He’s full of knowledge and was very accommodating when it came to challenges I faced early on with my core & lower back. Through guidance & accountability, I was able to reach my weight loss goals. As someone who use to use to avoid fitness like the plague; I now look forward to getting in my daily workout. I’ll highly recommend Matthew & will be utilizing his services in the future.”
- Joshua Nolden
Coming to Matt, I was determined to be the best version of me physically. What I didn't realize is he would make me a stronger version of me and I would enjoy it and get excited to keep up with it ! As we trained he kept me in the positive head space I needed to compete in Mrs. Texas where I went on to win "Best in Fitness" for my division. His nutritional assistance, workouts to maintain at home, and his incredible positive reinforcement, set me up to win and keep the weight off, as well as stay toned up - and all with a smile! I use his training daily!
