In 2015 Matt launched his first independent project, biofit - an innovative gym concept that combines health-oriented, nature-inspired design principles and his own natural fitness training program. These indoor-outdoor gyms have since been scientifically proven to reduce stress and improve mood while delivering real world fitness gains.
After several pop-ups and a showroom in London (UK), Biofit Calgary opened in the Natural Way Chiropractor Clinic in Alberta, Canada in September 2017 as the first full affiliate. A second gym by biofit opened in late January 2018 at the Karolinska Institutet medical university's Health Promotion Unit in Stockholm.
In an effort to contribute to the growing body of evidence behind nature-inspired design's health attributes, Matt led the world's first scientific research study into 'indoor green exercise' in January 2017, followed by a second study with real estate developer EcoWorld Ballymore into the wellness benefits of nature-inspired interiors in a dense urban environment.
