Why we're filming A Mile With Matt

Matt

Coach, The Transformation Rooms

Before-and-after photos are everywhere in fitness. They tell you something changed — but they don't tell you what it actually felt like to get there.

That's why we started A Mile With Matt. We wanted to give people room to talk about their experience properly.

Conversations, not transformations

What made them nervous before they started? What helped them finally take the first step? What still gets in the way now, even after they've been coming a while?

Walking together gives that conversation a relaxed setting — away from the studio, with no one watching and nothing to perform.

What we hope you take from it

If you watch an episode, we hope you hear something familiar. Maybe a worry you've had, or a reason you've been putting it off.

And maybe you realise there could be a place for you here too.
