What Makes The Matter Method Of Body Composition Different?
When we say that you have never prepped like this, we mean it...
From your free consultation, we will conduct a prep pre-screening; this is where we can assess your experience, interests, and the areas of life and training that make you tick mentally. No one successfully preps without mental preparation involved.
From here, we begin your programming and nutrition to enter a pre-prep phase and discover your growth and maintenance, monitoring your training intensity.
This progresses into your active prep phase and leads into peak week and stage day.
Post-prep comes next and is curated to successfully transition your body and headspace out of prep. You aren't left after stage day to your own devices and the reason for this is that too many athletes are, and it drastically affects their health long term and mental wellbeing. Physical and mental health and planned to transition you back into your routines and with a healthy relationship towards competition prep.
Our system has delivered the very athletes on this page to the stage, claimed multiple medals, and transitioned them back to their lives in a healthy fashion both mentally and physically.

Has Ben competed?
Ben has competed multiple times across his competitive history. Previous to now, he was undertaking a professional Rugby League career that was quickly taken from him when a distracted driver went through a red light and crashed into the side of his car on the way to work. With a permanent spinal disability, Ben sought to advance in his rehabilitation to strengthen his body again after years of pain suppression and several doctors telling him he wouldn't train again. This led him down a path of bodybuilding.
Ben has claimed Gold for IFBB QLD in Classic Season B 2022. From here, he has successfully taken a multitude of athletes to the stage many of which placed multiple times.

Our Season B IFBB Superstar
Cory had one of the most incredible transformations we have ever seen mentally and physically in an athlete. When Cory started with us it was clear that with the right tools, he had the attitude required to tick the boxes of an athlete.
Not only did he achieve an incredible weight loss transformation, but once that was attained he asked to move the marker again to another huge goal... Competing. Cory had set his deadline to have the date set to do this by Season B 2024, and debut as a first-timer in the IFBB.
Cory's work ethic and result is not ours to claim, without the individuals belief in their own ability to go after their goal, we can only achieve so much. Cory, with his continued passion for the sport, is pursing a growth season for his next competition in the future and we have nothing but praise for his monumental achievements across 2023 and 2024.
Our Seasoned Ninja - Ange
You can't not fall in love with Ange's energy! Angela came to us in 2023 to commence her next prep under the guidance of Matter Athletica. Our task was to ensure that having worked with coaches previously, she not only experienced the healthiest prep but the most psychologically supportive as well. We guided Ange into two shows for season B 2024, and managed her bloodwork heading into the show, but also in the reverse out which is something she had not experienced before. We are now working with Ange to have the healthiest off-season that she has ever had, and are actively guiding her through the psychological foundations of what athletes typically experience post-show, educating her why, and building a kick-ass framework for her next show.
She cleaned up this season and we are excited to have a growth season together for her next!
