He created and sold an international footwear company, SEVEN FEET APART.

He runs multistage ultramarathons, marathons, and Olympic & Ironman triathlons and created Run The Country Ultra where he ran 21 ultra marathons, totalling over 1000km, across England raising £50,000 for CALM.

He coaches one-to-one clients and groups, using a spectrum of protocols to enhance physical and mental performance as well as delivering corporate talks and breathwork sessions.

"Simply, I work with people to achieve optimal performance, across their professional and personal life.

My purpose is to help others, and for them to have simple tools they use to optimise their own life performance.

There are five approaches to my work:

• As a Transformational Coach, I work with clients to develop goals across personal and professional aspects of life and use different tools to affect intentional change.

• As an Oxygen Advantage™ Advanced Breathwork Instructor, I support respiratory improvement which in turn can enhance physical performance, increase concentration, reduce stress, optimise sleep… We start with an objective and then apply regular breathwork protocols to deliver change. In addition, I also use a technique I developed - Applied Breathwork™ - to blend an oxygenated brain with creative unblocking.

• As a counsellor. I’m not a qualified therapist but I work with people in therapeutic ways. I am also a qualified mental health practitioner.

• As a Non-Exec ‘consultant’, capitalising on 22 years of experience working in marketing and transformation as a C-Level Exec of the world's leading consultancies.

• As a mentor, personal and professional.

It’s broad coaching, bespoke to fit with what you need to focus on. 

Everything I do is in strict confidence and never shared." 

As well as coaching Matt teaches a variety of breathwork classes online and in person (both 1-2-1 and in groups) to show us that breathwork "is not woo woo, it is all science".

Matt also hosts talks including:

• Men's mental health and the two sides of the journey. 

Matt will be sharing his own journey to mental wellness and I will discuss how I supported him, which is often a hard story not talked about.  

• From Here to Extraordinary 

Each one of us has the capacity to be extraordinary. So do our teams. And companies.  The aim of this talk with Matt is to inspire you and your team to think differently and perform better.  This is a chance to experience an extraordinary story that will challenge and improve your business’s inner workings, with takeaways you can implement to support yourself and your team.  

• What to Change and How to Change it 

To go further we must adopt a set of behaviours for optimal performance.  This talk with Matt Bagwell will guide you through 7 ways to make real long term change for yourself and your team, including the introduction of his "life bento box".

• Breathwork for Women

There are 13 million women in the UK in the perimenopausal and menopausal age range, that's a third of the female population.  This 90 minute workshop shares scientific and practical information to manage during this life stage.
