MATTHEW P.

Matthew Pryor Gym Optional Profile Picture

Location: Louisville, KY

Speciality: Establishing balance with fitness.

Favorite Food: There are other foods besides Mexican?

I’m the founder of HomeFitnessGurus.com and BodyTithe.com, author of The Body Tithe Devotional, NASM-CPT, and an Independent Beachbody Coach.

I’m married to my beautiful, running-junkie wife, Kim. When I’m not busy with one of my four awesome kids, I like watching basketball, playing around in the kitchen, pretending I know how to garden, and reading about technology.

Oh… and I like Mexican food more than most Mexicans do.

  • Why We Get Fat

    Why We Get Fat is an invaluable key in our understanding of an international epidemic and a guide to what each of us can do about it. A follow up to his New York Times best seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes reveals the bad nutritional science of the last century, none more damaging or misguided than the “calories-in, calories-out” model of why we get fat, and the good science that has been ignored, especially regarding insulin’s regulation of our fat tissue.

    PB2 Review

    Love peanut butter but trying to watch the fat or calories? Is it really possible to get the flavor of peanuts with only 15% of the fat? Sounds too good to be true ... or is it?

Fitness Tip

  • To avoid injuries, write an “expiration date” on your shoes as soon as you buy them. Shoes last about 400 miles (or so), so just divide 400 by your average weekly mileage to determine how many weeks your shoes are likely to last. After that, you can mow the grass with them or donate them through WaterStep, but no more running in them.

Fitness Equipment

  • Premium Stability Ball
    Stability Ball

    Strengthen your core using this premium inflatable stability ball to add an unstable platform from which to work. More portable than a bench, takes up less space, and adds variety to your workouts!

    Plus with Amazon, you get the best price and quick shipping.

Testimonials

  • I was feeling defeated and frustrated with my health due to a chronic illness, but Matthew and the group met me where I was at and provided the balance of grace and truth that I needed. I lost 10 lbs during my first challenge, but more importantly I learned to be faithful with my responsibilities (eating well, exercising, etc.) and to trust God with the rest.

In The Kitchen

  • Vitamix Review: Our Favorite Appliance

    Vitamix. Is it everything they say it is? I'm here to tell you, it's more. This multi-purpose, powerhouse of a machine will not only help get you healthier, you'll be looking for excuses to use it. It's without its flaws, but we wouldn't trade it for 100 pounds of organic kale.
