FounderMatt Hoo
Two decades in health and fitness. Founded 5EW in 2013, and still giving back everyday.

Two decades coaching. One practice.
Nothing brings more fulfilment than helping people live a better quality of life.
Matt founded 5th Element Wellness in 2013 with the idea that fitness, recovery and nutrition belonged in the same building, not stitched together across three. Two decades into his career he still mentors the team, and sets the long-term direction for the practice.
What he’s known for is the long-game mindset. Matt shines when it comes to behaviour coaching and overcoming limited beliefs.

What clients say about Matt.
This place is the real deal! Having trained and spoken to the PTs at this gym, I can attest that they have some of the deepest understanding of fitness, health and wellness in the industry. The results I got from training is a testament to this as I went from not being able to perform a SINGLE proper squat to box squatting 120kg (I was 58kg at the time). I regularly drop in for sauna and ice bath sessions for recovery, and their equipment selection is the definition of FUNCTIONAL. Thanks for creating such a nice space & community, Matt. I highly recommend 5EW.

A 60-minute consult on the gym floor, no commitment. We’ll match you with Matt (or another coach if you’d be a better fit elsewhere) and get a plan together.
