Human Motion Lab

Matt is fantastic! My wife and I are bodybuilding and bikini athletes and we discovered Matt in preparation for our shows. He is soo knowledgeable about the entire body. He helped me develop different parts of my body, my lagging bodyparts. He was so helpful on better more efficient ways on how to train and target my muscles correctly. He helped fix my wife’s chronic back pain. Matts skills are very valuable and I only wish my wife and I can go to him more often. He has a great personality and makes you feel right at home from the very first time you walk in the door.

I have a back ace that’s been bothering me for many years. Its comes and goes and it used to bother me in a way I could’t out. All people told me is that I should be swimming which I don’t realy like. I come in to Matt’s studio and found someone who is truley passionate about his profession. He listened to all my concurs and physic problems and really me to build a work out that was good for me/​Since than I lost some weigh, I feel better and basically I’m a new person.

The technique is amazing and Matt is great to work with. I can’t get over how weak some of my muscles feel, then after some isometrics and palpations, within seconds, they are stronger! Matt is so conscience and very concerned about my comfort and muscle response. I have every confidence in his skills and highly recommend him.

Without Matt I would have migraines all the time. He keeps my migraines away. He is amazing and MAT is amazing. I am completely sold on MAT! If you are a migraine sufferer then you should call Matt because he will fix those pesky migraines.

My INCREDIBLE session with Matty Simpson-​Weber at Muscle Activate with life changing ISOPHIT!
Rocked my world. Simply makes your body feel so good doing the isometrics. Things turned on like never before, and I could feel it move up the chain, feel my anchors fire up even on the opposite side. Popped my pubic symphysis in place and I literally corrected my pelvis and felt my pelvis move into neutral. Standing up felt I could finally trust my true neutral and feels safe. Glutes on! After having a torn disk and taking a more than a year to recover, this is life changing to say the least. MUST DO MORE.
I am so addicted. Thanks to Matty and his creative skill, patience and genius, this is going to take off. Can’t wait to get in and do some more.
Go See Matt Simpson Weber now! He will change the way you think about fitness and your body in so many good ways.

I’ve benefited from Matt’s application of Muscle Activation Techniques on their own for over a year now, but I am feeling more stable and stronger than ever after using his new Isophit table. Human Motion Lab is the 1^st of only 3 US locations to have an Isophit so far, so be sure to schedule an appointment now, before the line wraps around the block!

As a 67 year old mountain hiker, Matt and his MAT have increased my strength and helped me get over some old injuries that restricted my activities. I am always amazed at how good I feel after each session and how each session builds on the last one. I feel like I am using muscles that I have not used in years.

Matt is phenomenal at what he does. The way he talks about each muscle as though it is its own unique and special entity, well that really says it all. He is so passionate about making the human body function as well as it possibly can. You lie on the table and within minutes he has located your specific issues and has already begun to improve them. If you are looking for a body worker or personal trainer, go to the Human Motion Lab. You will not be disappointed!

Been training with Matt for close to two years now, and have been very pleased with the results.
I started with Matt to help solve an ITB knee running issue (solved!) and have progressed into overall muscle fitness and flexibility training to support my running and skiing habits. Matt is extremely knowledgable of muscle anatomy and more importantly, knows how the entire muscle system works when everything is going well, and when something starts to fail (think ITB, plantar fasciitis, hip issues, etc.).
Matt’s lab/​studio is fun to train in, and he keeps it real with lots of different kinds of exercises and muscle flexibility tests.
I definitely, highly, recommend Matt

I almost don’t want to write this review because I want to keep Matt all to myself, but I would do anything for him; he is nothing short of a miracle worker. Since I was 16, I’ve had pain while walking or standing and I sprained and twisted things CONSTANTLY (I once sprained the same ankle 7 times in 4 months.) It was so bad that I couldn’t walk seven blocks without hurting myself. Doctors had told me that they couldn’t figure it out or that there was nothing they could do — I actually stopped trusting doctors entirely.
Here’s the thing. I trust Matt more than any doctor or any person. After just two or three sessions, he figured out that I had muscle atrophy that had been an issue since I learned how to walk (it was just never diagnosed.) I’ve been working with him for five months now and I’m proud to say that I can now walk twenty blocks easily and I can’t remember the last time I sprained anything. I love how Matt always explains exactly what he’s doing, what results he’s expecting, and what I should be feeling. He also helped me differentiate between pain due to joint stress versus pain due to muscle exertion. Hey, when your muscles have been atrophied for 22 years, you get tired quickly!

Matt is a miracle worker! I know that sounds a little crazy, but I swear I’m not — For nearly 2 years, I went to sports doctors, orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, massage therapists, rolfers… anyone and everyone who I THOUGHT could help.
What had happened is I was having pains and tightness throughout my leg and hip. I had an MRI only to find out that I had labrum tears in my hip. The doctor suggested a cortisone shot or surgery. Neither sounded like an option to me. Thinking I could handle it just fine, I went to go climb half dome. I was in excruciating pain the majority of the time, and couldn’t even raise my leg on its own once we were finished.
Months later, I finally found Matt. After 2 1-​hour visits I felt like a new person. And 2 months later, I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and am now training for my first marathon.
For any of you are hesitant about Muscle Activation Technique — just try it once… you’ll see a change right away. Feel free to message me too, always happy to talk about more natural techniques of healing!

First and foremost, as soon as you walk into Matt’s studio you will know that this man is more passionate about his trade than anyone in any industry anywhere.
A few years ago I broke my neck in a surfing accident. I’ve made a good recovery but from time to time the muscles back there act up and it pretty much puts my life on hold until they calm down. A visit to the doctor usually ends with direction to wear my neck brace for two weeks and a prescription for a bottle of pain killers and muscle relaxers — I don’t really like either and I don’t feel like it’s a solution to what’s really going on with my muscles.
Thank god for Matt and his Midas touch. A mutual friend of ours recommended I pay him a visit just to see if he could help and she was right. Matt carefully goes through every muscle around your problem area and gets to the root of what’s causing the pain. Through careful exercises, he kick starts the muscles that aren’t pulling their weight to bring balance and harmony back to your body, it’s amazing! Upon my first visit to him, I walked out an hour later feeling 50% better and woke up the next morning feeling fine, usually the neck pain would haunt me for two weeks.
I’d give him ten stars if I could and pay him whatever he charged if money were no object, his rates are pretty fair anyway. I cannot recommend him enough!

I’ve been training with Matt for several months now and I’m totally hooked. Matt is a serious anatomy geek and a relentless problem solver. When he works with you, he scrutinizes your every move to determine where your weak spots are and how your body compensates for them. He then crafts exercises that awaken those rarely-​used muscles and open up your range of motion. The sessions feel very personalized and Matt is always brainstorming new routines to keep you engaged.
Matt’s studio reminds me of a space station. It’s filled with custom equipment, ambient lighting and energizing beats. He even has a diffuser that fills the studio with invigorating scents (I happen to love the cinnamon). And if you’re not a morning person, he’ll even brew up a killer Americano to get you going. It’s easy to feel spoiled, but more importantly, Matt has done wonders for my knees, neck and shoulders. I can’t praise his technique, energy and attitude enough!

Matt’s enthusiasm and knowledge are extremely motivating. He is the mad scientist of the muscle activation technique. When you visit his amazing space you’ve stepped into a world he has designed to make exercise interesting, fun and a learning experience. It’s like a doctor’s office meets a sex club. You have no idea what to do when you get there, but not to worry, Matt directs you and fully concentrates on your progress, not letting you get away with anything less than perfect technique. His knowledge of the human body and how it moves is remarkable. Each time I leave a session it’s as if all my joints have been replaced and I feel springy and stronger. I always learn something new about muscles and how they are supposed to perform. I highly recommend seeing what the Human Motion Lab is all about!

I cannot speak highly enough of Matt and the work he does at the Human Motion Lab. I have had knee problems for as long as I can remember; I even had surgery eighteen months ago on the off chance that it would help (it didn’t). Nothing helped– until Matt. He was able to pinpoint the areas that were causing my pain and weakness, and helped me to address them at the speed my body was capable of. Matt has an incredible knowledge of how the body works and he has the remarkable ability to explain what he is doing (and why he is doing it) to someone like me, who doesn’t know anything about muscles or flexion or any of that. Not too long ago, I could barely walk a few blocks to the grocery store; now I’m going to the gym and exploring San Francisco. I owe so much of that to Matt. I am really looking forward to continuing to work with him.

Finally, Matt is open in his wonderful new studio space. This is where he practices his magic. Yes, magic. Matt’s expert knowledge of the body enables him to perform near miracles… raising this experience to a level of the divine.
Upon arriving at the Human Motion Lab, you wouldn’t expect to find a place of rehabilitation in the dense urban environment. You walk into a large blue building. Imagine walking into a large piece of the sky and you are on your way to heaven. Upon entering the doors, you leave everything behind. You walk into a world that takes fitness, training and body knowledge to a whole other strata.
The environment is wonderful, especially at night — the walls glow with soothing colors. Matt extends his knowledge here by creating new and exciting programs I’ve haven’t seen anywhere else. If your looking to return your body to an amazing state check out his Muscle Activation Techniques — he is certified. Check out his cage training and vibration training. Don’t ask, just go try it. It is amazing. Your entire body will feel revitalized!

If all your other gyms and all your other personal trainers seem to have fallen short and you just have a feeling that there’s got to be something more out there, you’re right! Working out with Matt is not only effective, he takes strength training to a whole new level. Not only is Matt going to get you to reach your fitness goals, he’s going to make you feel better and help your body to work most efficiently. I have known Matt as a colleague and a friend for over two years and his passion for fitness never ceases to amaze me. In other gym settings you might hit a wall, or plateau with your workouts, but not with Matt. With his specialization in Muscle Activation Techniques, Matt can get you to your fitness goals without adding more stress to your already over worked muscles, and joints. He can get you there safely, which makes it much easier to continue with your healthy lifestyle for years to come. In other gyms you might be persuaded to put your body under unsafe weights in order to get those bulging biceps, or rock hard abs… Matt will teach you that having big muscles does not always mean having strong muscles, and how you can do both with just a little extra time and attention to what you’re doing. If you are interested in reaching the next level of fitness, I’d go see Matt in his Human Motion Lab. You’ll be glad you did!
