Early days of Sweat Elite he basically did 0 work and bullied everyone to take over the company once there was some success.
He followed this by plagiarizing workouts of athletes all over the world. He would read something on Twitter or another site and copy to his site. No consent. He got caught doing this and layed low for a while.
Following that he left Australia because he had a falling out with some of the athletes on Melbourne TC and was banned from working with them. So he left Australia, came to flagstaff and caused some problems there with a coach and some others.
Following closely after living in Boulder he still had a girlfriend back in Australia that lived with him. But then he started dating/intercourse with a woman on Roots, a woman in Lee’s group and 2 others simultaneously. Causing all sorts of problems arguing with them and causing stress. So obviously these coaches started to ban him.
Once he was caught and banned from these groups he continued his most toxic behavior of cyber bullying people through e-mail and any sort of media he can use after being blocked repeatedly. All sorts of threats, legal threats, blackmail lies, insults about men’s wives etc., references to how big his channel is and how much exposure they’ll lose out on so they better not cross him. The cyber bullying lasted for months. Once this word got out and he was banned from every elite group in boulder he latched on to Ric Rojas.
This behavior is not limited to just runners or girlfriends either. It happens with friends from home. There seems to be something seriously wrong in his mind.
Now he goes to the UK and continues the same pattern. He linked up with Nick for a cheap place to crash and a way to get into the online coaching gig and learn how it’s done. Then after just a few months he burned that bridge too and attacked him over the internet as well. Poor Nick probably trusted him. Like a previous poster said “people in the UK are already tired of his bullying tactics”.
One asks, is he conning people, going on in with the intention of using and throwing away genuinely nice people who just wanted to help and then leaving a mess behind; or is it a mental disorder? I’m not sure. Narcissistic personality disorder seems to the the leading theory.
There’s reasons he skips to a new country every few months. There’s a reason he’s single at his age and has been.There’s a reason a guy like Lee Troop who refuses to be intimidated or bullied and has a major profile in this sport is willing to put his reputation out there and publicly speak about this menace. There’s also a reason he has a 1.8 trust pilot score.
He will certainly either report this or chime in here and start lying. Narcissists tend to do this as they can’t help themselves when being spoken ill about.
I have no dog in this fight. Just reporting the facts as I don’t want to see anyone else taken advantage of or bullied.
Its clear a few others on this thread know all this but are afraid to stand up to the bully, except Lee.
Everyone has had enough Matt.

I have always wondered why he, an Australian, has never actually filmed in Australia. He’s only ever filmed with Ed as far as AU runners.

Would be keen to hear how he fell out with MTC. He’s mentioned Brett a few times regarding the marathon record but don’t think I’ve ever heard him speak on anyone else.

Just watched Matt's 'Ep 3 - Training in Iten Kenya' video.

Dude is running in the middle of the road & then switches into oncoming traffic, despite there being tarmac to the side of the road to run on. menace.

You’ve completely missed the point that he’s exploiting people who don’t know any better.

The level of coaching that should be given for those price points are way beyond what is offered.

Social media influencers/Youtubers/Coaches etc gain popularity from entry-level runners coming across them online, blind to basic training principles or normal price points.

The contact time (or lack thereof) Nick offers is a red flag enough in itself.

Of course he’s not robbing people, but it’s still morally questionable to ‘take candy from a baby’ in this manner. You can find coaches at your local track club who have run 28min/10K or national level marathon times, and they’re charging nowhere near this.

It makes a mockery of the sport.

Coaches Corner E4 - Sweat Elite Coaching Academy

Listen to this episode from Sweat Elite Podcast on Spotify. Episode 4 of the Sweat Elite Coaching Academy features the news about Sweat Elite starting it's own Coaching Academy and the reasons for doing so. We also answer 3 q...

So the Sweat Elite 'Coaching Academy' is essentially a paywalled Discord channel LOL.

There are lots of barbs about the 'previous coaching company partner' and sanctimony about ethics.

There have been no videos with elites in 2 weeks now on Sweat Elite. Did something happen? Should it be renamed to Sweat Sub-Elite?

just a bunch of grifters grifting each other and the public, trying to squeeze as many dollars as they can out of the shoetube audience before that well runs dry.

i do like that the price is they have to make these cringey videos with this embarrassing behavior that will exist forever on the internet

Any news on this juicy case? And BTW how can a coach effectively coach 200 people ? I would love to know the secret.

No new videos for 9 days now, no new elite videos for 18 (!!) days now. What is going on?

Hi I'm Rogert Biebert, here to review the latest Sweat Elite video titled, "Sub 2:20 Marathon Project E4 - Kenyan Fartlek"

This is the first Kenyan video I've viewed in quite a while, more importantly, the first film with a positive message about runner's sexuality to be set in Kenya. Morality is a commonly used excuse wielded like a cudgel against sexual rights at worst, mere representation at best. Why is runners sexuality being seen in a positive light such a “moral” threat?

The unnamed director seems to create a lyrical ode to finding a kindred spirit amidst an uncaring majority by using Monica Arac de Nyeko’s short story, “Jambula Tree” as the basis. The cinematography is as lively, colorful and engaging as the hairstyle of of our main protagonist and the boisterous object his affection, the dusty track. Several times, lens flares from the Sun invade the frame containing our hero, presenting him as the center of the running universe. The astonishingly festive coif becomes a complementary personality symbol, the yin to the grungy yang of the style of american trained runners.

The way this film dares to publicly gaze at our hero reveals a mixture of the naïveté in handling a first love and a teenager’s penchant for defiance. Our hero returns the gaze even more forcefully, which could scare young viewers. His feelings are not tolerated by society, and while his story has a simplicity that feels at times a bit too light, he never shies away from the inherent danger lovers who are runners face. The canvas of the screen is often used as a representation of feeling rather than narrative, with scenes cropped so we can only see pieces of the action. It makes the most intimate moments seem larger-than-life, which is exactly how they must feel to our heroes.

This nameless man—the video never reveals what way he leans sexually—becomes a rather blatant symbol of the country’s homophobia. But, late in the video, my expectations are upended in a scene where he quietly sits next to a battered, heartbroken track. As the two share the frame, neither making eye contact with the other, I hoped for some exchanged words. Instead, the scene ends in silence and I realized that the visual of a shared solidarity was more powerful than anything that could have been said in that moment. This is a bittersweet yet ultimately positive depiction of young, forbidden love that radiates empathy by showing how misguided it is to be against this kind of devotion. The director draws blood with a scene that left me fuming, but also brings out a surprising level of understanding.

To feel seen is a potent, potentially life-changing emotion, and only those who were never in the dark would have a moral problem with it. Sweat Elite makes this serious point quite effectively, never losing its ebullience.

Four Stars out of Four

Seen Matt Fox is now accusing one of the 'Best athletic' runners as a drugs cheat, Anya Culling on IG has posted about it.

Pretty wild, what a mess all round

Your point isn't valid though.

He's signing up grown adults who can make their own choices, not 5 year olds.

His page came up on my Instagram. He’s such a scam artist - decently talented hobbyjogger creating generic plans for insane cost

Whatever happened to all of this? All just kind of blew over. Looks like Sweat Elite is still doing very well on YT and presumably on their coaching as well. And Best Athletics has a bigger audience than ever.

Nick Best and Matt Fox are both set to run Berlin... think we'll get to see a fight?

Nick has a better shot of finishing the race. Matt will have a long video of Reem interviewing him when he doesn't do well.

Matt, you always try to blame somebody else to deflect from your actions.

Can you tell us anymore about the sexual assault / harassment allegations from numerous women?

How about your plagiarism? What about when you sent threats to a 17 year old?

Can you tell us more about being arrested at 0600 in Scotland Christmas of 2021..?

Can you tell us anything about your incessant harassing emails / calls / texts sent to athletes and coaches?

Why were you kicked out of Australia? Why were you kicked out of Boulder..?

Why did you baselessly accuse athletes of doping?

Lets get some answers Matty!
