About Matthew
Hello! I’m Matthew Rippey, a proud member of the 10 Fitness team. I bring my experience in strength and conditioning to a supportive and driven community. With eight years in the fitness industry, I joined 10 Fitness because of its top-tier facilities and outstanding trainers—it’s truly the best in town.
I hold certifications with the CSCCa in Strength and Conditioning and USAW Olympic Weightlifting Level 2. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Arkansas State University. My experience has helped me become a movement specialist, focused on spotting and correcting mistakes in technique, whether in Olympic lifts or sprint mechanics.
What motivates me most is helping clients stay committed to their goals and watching their hard work pay off. I focus on creative ways to work with those managing chronic injuries, making sure every movement fits their needs and keeps them moving safely.
Outside the gym, I spend time with family and my girlfriend, Zoe. I enjoy hunting and traveling, especially when I can disconnect and spend time outdoors.
I grew up in Searcy, Arkansas, and I’ve returned to the area because it’s a great place to raise a family. I don’t have special titles or awards to mention, but my commitment remains steady: to make a real difference in the lives of my clients. I want to be remembered as someone who worked hard and cared deeply about your success—sometimes even more than you might.
