Meet Matt Kohler of SpeedX in Brentwood

Today we’d like to introduce you to Matt Kohler.

Matt, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I’ve always had a passion for health and fitness. I earned my Bachelors in Kinesiology and became a certified personal trainer years ago. SpeedX was born from a love of fitness and a desire to make high intensity interval training methodology more accessible for the masses. It certainly seemed to fill a void as we’ve had continued success. Winner of Best New Fitness Class in the Best of LA edition of Los Angeles Magazine, SpeedX has earned the recognition of The Biggest Loser, Self Magazine, Men’s Health, The Doctors, and celebrity trainer Bob Harper as the best LA fitness workout and most effective results-based program available.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Of course I had challenges along the way. We’re always thinking of ways in improving our service offered as that’s the only way to stay relevant and competitive in the industry. We’ve always focused on creating the most value to our clients and that’s kept us afloat during more difficult periods.

So, as you know, we’re impressed with SpeedX – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
We’re most proud of being able to offer an amazing workout for anyone, from die-hard athletes to those with little to no history of physical activity. SpeedX is a heart pumping blend of cardio, strength and resistance training regular participants gleefully describe as pure yet addictive torture. It allows those to torch body fat, build lean muscle, improve cardiovascular endurance and push themselves harder than ever before. We include more functional based exercises to get the body moving the way it’s designed to.  The exercises and equipment utilized target the natural planes of movement and stabilizers, targets the stabilizers, allowing for crossover to sporting and daily activities, which will prevent injury.

So, what’s next? Any big plans?
We plan on implementing boot camps for those interested in training outdoors. Our next one will be an NFL style bootcamp this summer! Our head coach has trained several NFL players and is designing a comprehensive program for those who want to hit a new level of fitness and strength this summer.

We just added several new pieces of equipment including our Assault Air Bikes. There is more equipment on its way to add to the daily workouts… We’re also considering developing an app exclusive for SpeedX. Corporate social responsibility is important to us and we will be deciding which cause to share profits with. 
Beyond this year, we plan on opening additional corporate locations and perhaps franchising.
