For Joel Matalon, fitness is a journey. It has enabled him to achieve peacefulness and focus.

Over the past 30-plus years, Joel’s journey has led him from being a skinny kid in New York to competing globally in marathons in over 40 cities including the prestigious Boston and Berlin races, triathlons, Ironman competitions and bodybuilding competitions. In time Joel has gone from being a competitor to running educational workshops in these cities to help others learn and achieve.

Along the way, as Joel discovered the joy of working with others he became a certified instructor and fitness trainer. Through his work, Joel helped over 2,000 clients including people trying to lose weight, rehab after surgery, bodybuilders, and marathon/triathlon competitors.

This success pushed Joel to make a deeper connection. He wanted to help clients improve not just their bodies but also their lives. That is why he became an ICF & SCW Lifecoach and created Life Coaching for the Fit Soul. So far he has worked with over 200 clients, helping them break through mental stops while accomplishing their visions and goals.

Joel’s greatest joy has been working with people with mental and physical challenges. Whether it is someone overcoming depression, or those diagnosed with Down’s syndrome, Tourette’s, or Multiple Sclerosis, Joel’s use of highly communicative, person-to-person methodology has enabled these clients to excel and take part in events like the Paralympics.

Wherever you are on your fitness journey, Joel is ready to meet you there and help you go further than you ever thought possible.
