Your line on Gladiators this week had me in stitches! “They say there’s no I in team, but there are 5 I’s in individual brilliance.” 😂

I don't think many people really care what the content is. Most of us are just watching for you, like a check in with a friend in a sad way.

Some of my favorite videos from you are the more simple ones. Just you and your brother going through a workout together explaining stuff. It really compliments your app programs and it’s always nice to see you and your brother messing around

Would love to see more raw workout type videos, the raw sessions with you and your brother are so good, understand they can be repetitive but they are in trend at the moment!

Glad to see the break helped! Your videos have helped me through some tough times over the years not going to lie! New house looks insane

I'm glad to see that you are taking the time that you need to prioritize your mental health and well-being!

I’m so happy you’ve made this video, the understanding is so clear and I thought there would be a time where you’d feel burnt out and again then pressure of the house etc but now that’s everything falling into place a break has been much needed! Your grind and consistency has been unmatched and I think I speak for most of your followers here. But go take that break and enjoy yourself brother! We’ll always still be here to support!

I've only been watching your videos for about 2 months, and I love your content. I watched all your videos from 4 years ago until now. You have been a big influence for me to get in the gym (whilst using your app) and for me mentally. I'll look forward to your next videos however long apart they are as your well being is more important.

Good to see you’re still keeping up the great content, I think collabs with the other gladiators (whether that be eating challenges, training or whatever) would be a great watch and wildly successful.

Beautiful house, congrats ! Keep the hard work in your KZfaq career. Thank you for all the years

You always come across very genuine and honest. Delighted you're in a happier place with it. Inspiring stuff too you're doing class and deserve all the good things you've clearly worked hard for.

Totally get where you're coming from regarding the pressure to make videos. I realised watching this that we must have started our channels at the same time 11 years ago. I paced myself from the start though and refused to get entangled with the demands that can occur with posting regular uploads. Anyway, really enjoyed your content from the start even the stuff you say you didn't enjoy making lol. That's part of the fun. Anyway, you'll be fine spacing out the content. You're established and WE WILL WATCH !!!

As for ideas... with your own gym maybe time-lapse the start to maintenance of some of your clients. Show how someone can go from out of shape to in shape as a series. Show different goals. Someone may want to go into body building whilst someone else may just want to lose a few lbs and be healthy. Show us how to accomplish that in REAL TIME.

Your You Tube journey is such a big motivation to me. I’ve spent years stopping and starting, I just need to be consistent and put in the hard work to achieve what I want to achieve. Looking forward to seeing what you post in the future! Would love to see some videos about your time on Gladiators!

I have been watching for 6 years give or take and I was always amazed at the schedule you all have maintained. KZfaq, product line, the app, the Brand then the absolute nightmare of the house build and the energy drink launch all that with Two babies! I do not honestly know where you found time to sleep. You even did videos when you were on holiday with your family. 11 years of 365 days a year work with enormous pressure at every turn. My god you did a 3 year build that was massively complicated full of issues and problems too. All this and I am sure there are lots of other pressures that you and the wife were under. Now you add in Gladiator and all that comes with that! It is really good that you are all going to take it down a gear and give everyone a little break. Hopefully, you get a chance to take the family on a long holiday somewhere nice to just be a family. Finally, I want to say that we all should to give Sarah some love as I am sure she was very much a huge part of the glue that kept all this going at the speed of light! Really looking forward to the new content, I am sure it will be amazing.

Glad you’re not quitting. Been watching your content for some years and you can see how you’ve grown in confidence and made the content better and better each time. Relish in your success as you’ve worked hard for it. Congrats being a gladiator. Huge achievement. Keep going!

Omg so glad you’re not quitting! Enjoy your break and your gorgeous family xx

lifestyle, garden project, leisure facilities (pool/gym), the gladiator journey - how the opportunity came about, costs of the build project to help others, travel/holiday vlogs to name but a few

Great video! Absolutely love the honesty and you’re so appreciated for what you do 🙌 and congrats on the house! Your success is so deserved! 🥳 looking forward to more content!

Congratulations on completing the house and Gladiators. Also good work on recognising you had reached burn out and needed to take action on that. Thank you for being honest about it and hopefully it will help others out there too. Would you be up for a Q and A style video at some point?

Can't wait to see new videos. Stay strong bro, we need you ❤

House looks great Matt. Love all your content. Keep up the great work. True inspiration ❤️

Mate you have given us so much....from laughs to advise to inspiration. and I for one will say thank you!! the time, the effort and dedication you us, your followers has been phenomenal. Taking time to focus on the family and the other aspects of your life shouldnt be a negative thing. Stay you, stay strong and stay the Legend!! ;)

Your story is truly inspirational Bro.One love!

1 like = 1 push up

Refreshing to see a KZfaqr be 100% transparent regarding personal need for money, attitude, etc. Not many are like this.

Sounds like a very sensible balance. I really look forward to the videos to come.

Have a great break, literally found your content today but it is great. Have some nice family time and excited for when your videos arrive.

please do more of those public challenges dude (weight lifting, arm wrestling, benchpress, curl, grip challenge)! that stuff is really rad! like that was the thing that made me a subscriber! its captivating and interesting!

Petition to hand over all your KZfaq rights to Luca. He's got this and can carry the channel on his own. LETS GET THE LIKES TO 10K

Thanks for this video Matt. At least I know you still ok and understand the pressure. Hope to see a video in the future but don't be to pressured buddy. Stay awesome and all the best to you and the family

Thank you so much for this explanation, I kept wondering if you were okay. Glad you are good and taking a break, as that is very important. Can't wait for what's in store.

Omg my joy when I seen had uploaded then my stomach fell into My butt when I seen the title 😢 xx

Matt your awesome you deserve the break,your being too hard on yourself,your literally no1 for a reason it's not because you churn out videos every week, love to see more collabs and travel vids and maybe cooking healthy foods? Amazing seeing you in gladiators you are the LEGEND 💪

Good for you taking a break mate, looking forward to what you will be creating. You're a great gladiator too, haven't missed a week.

Welcome back! You've been missed, but taking time for yourself is crucial. Excited for this new chapter with the sick house and more! 😊👍

Respect for being so raw and honest about your journey, refreshing to hear that you were churning out vids and even disliked making vids - sure so many creators relate to you

New to your channel thanks to Gladiators so any stories about that experience would be great! But your videos have made me rethink my training and I’ve been able to take it to a new level so thank you for that.

Mad respect 10 years of content is insane. Your videos have got me back in the gym and watching you on a Saturday is one of the few times my whole family come together and laugh and have fun. Take all the time you need 😊

Just found your channel, love it, the fact that you're now one of the best known gladiators in this new era, should give you a great platform to do more videos. I would love to see celebs taking on challenges you create as the "Legend" Persona

Hi Matt love watching your videos 📹 can't wait for more You deserve a break now 😊

Love your channel so much ❤️

Matt I came across your channel way back in 2019 you helped me so much to get more confident in the gym gave me some motivation. Glad to see your not leaving KZfaq keep up the great work .

Bro, you've literally grinded for years and years to come building an audience for your channel. I'm honored to say I've been a part of that journey for the last seven years watching whatever and whenever I could when you posted. The hard work is done. Enjoy the followers you STRIVED for and keep going at your own pace. I know I'll still be here.

He is back baby 🎉

One like = 1,000000 pushups that I will do

You was an inspiration for me and because of your videos i have started my YT channel. Whenever i struggled, watched some of your old videos and been back in the game again. Thank you

Matt, great video. Look forward to see what you do moving forward. Loved watching you on Gladiatiors as well, you’ve been awesome. Enjoy the break!

Easy bro. Just do what makes you happy Matt. I’ve enjoyed watching your streams, and also, it’s helped me push myself in the gym. Well done with the gladiator stuff fella, your character makes me and my wife laugh. You’re a top bloke, I hope they do a second season. Keep up the great work 👊🏻👊🏻

Dude you are the best gladiator and when I found out you had a KZfaq channel, I just got that tingly feeling of happiness and I showed the rest of the people in the house that you had a KZfaq channel because we all know you from gladiators since we watch it every Saturday. Ah flip! I forgot to tell my brother! He was asleep anyway 😂😂😂

Mate, big respect for recognising you needed this time and actually taking it! Bad timing though dude as your videos have been the whole reason I have started training again and trying to build a better version of myself. I spent a week in bed with Covid about a month ago and looked you up, literally binge watched your stuff for a week 😂 anyhow that has led to a whole shift in my motivation, I’m training, eating better and generally feeling 100 times better already so thank you. Just keep these vids coming until I’m where I need to be and then by all means take a break haha! 😏

Yo Matt, I often watch your old full day of eating videos. I really like that type of videos from you! We like to see what you eat while bulking for instance! Would love to see those type of videos!

Never managed to get back in contact with him 😔 sorry guys

Glad your taking some time out for you and your family. I am sure whatever future content you do, as long as you enjoy it, that will come through on the videos. How about doing some blogs on favourite places you like to go to, maybe you have good memories of places you went when you were in your childhood. Whatever it is i wish you success 👍

Appreciate during the lockdown all you youtubers bringing us new content regularly! Thanks!

i still would love to see your workout routines, you motivated me and seeing you disappear did suck. Glad you well tho and this update was great to see!

Only Been subbed to you for a few weeks, and love your vids, but your absolutely right, if your getting that Sunday Night dread feeling (I knew that feeling so well before my current job) then always a good idea to freshen up so good luck to ya! I always enjoy watching you on Gladiators, so good luck with all you do :)

I’m new to your channel like literally been binging your vids for the last few weeks! I’m glad you are sticking with KZfaq the eating challenges are sick. Also watching your workout videos has got me back into lifting weights for the first time in my life I’ve actually set workout goals. Great house by the way congrats on the hard work paying off. Ps you are the best gladiator! 👌🏼

Respect the honesty and as a new KZfaqr its definitely inspiring to know that I am doing the right thing and trying to get content out...in terms of interesting, I had sepsis, lost my leg, arm and toes and trying to inspire the world to never give up!!!!!

Im looking forward to the next video! Thanks for all the entertainment and motivation you are giving.

Matt. Great to camera honesty. Getting through life can be tough. Physical and mental health are key a part of the journey. You now have the skills, knowledge and experience to help people navigate their way.

Thanks for posting this!

You where a huge inspiration to me when I began fitness around 2018 and a few years from then. You really helped me lose a lot of weight and learn a whole lot. I haven't watched your videos for the past idk 2.5 years, but you made legit good content and I am forever grateful for what I've learned from you. All the best to you and your family.

Love to see you putting mental health above views. Been watching since before you made the switch full time to full time youtube.

Loved your videos since 2018! Thanks for taking the time to explain.

It’s crazy how much you’ve grown I’ve been watching for a while now I think 18 or 2019, when I was getting into lifting more. Now you’re huge mate congrats

The pressure of having to think of creative ideas for a living and to a deadline is so real! Even if you're sick at it and love being creative as a hobby, as soon as there's a timer on it the game does change to a significant extent. I know exactly what you mean with that box analogy - sometimes the idea of doing something monotonous that you can definitely complete within a certain timescale becomes weirdly appealing as a contrast...

This was good to have a real honest reflection on how anyone in any job, no matter how cool it may seem to others can get tired of it or go through a period of falling out of love with it. I’ve followed you from when you had under 100k and have enjoyed all your videos, but I still avidly follow others YTers who’ve taken the same less is more approach and instead of the videos dropping, me thinking I’ll watch that in the week when I have more time. I’m now far more likely to stop what I’m doing and watch because I know the content will be great. I look forward to doing the same with you. Though side note, I bet you have more female followers than you realise, so let’s see more of Sairs, the creatine one was so good to watch as a woman following your channel.

As you said it's quality over quantity!! Looking forward to seeing the garden completed!!

keep going man fr fr u are one of the best here the way u talk the wait u act its just perfect man never quit we love u

Your videos got me into gym, went from 65kg to 80kg from bulking. I'm 6'2 and always struggled with not putting on weight. Loved following your workout journey and was shocked (in a good way) seeing you on Gladiators hahaha. Wish you all the best, and thanks for all the motivation.

Good to see you back and well. Been here since Luca did intros so it feels like your family is part of ours and great to see the home and new adventures can begin.

Hi Matt, I’ve been watching since day 1. keep at it don’t quit, I’ll miss watching the funny videos / any content u make as they make my day usually but, since u hadn’t posted in a while I felt sad. so please keep posting!🥰

New to the channel via Gladiators. Loving the Legend persona brings so much needed humour and charisma. What i have seen of your content has been superb and i agree that to keep doing high quality things some rest and recharging the batteries is needed. Loving the cannon tattoo, AFC up the Gooners.

Amen Matt. Glad you had a break. Keep crackin on!

Can definitely relate to that Sunday evening feeling before work the next day, horrible and one of the worst feelings you can have

So glad to see your face! I only discovered you back in about September (yes I know - where have I been) and instead of getting out more I basically binge watched probably over 500 of your videos! So weird to now know that you haven’t been enjoying it so much recently but I’ve actually been laughing out loud at your latest stuff and thinking it’s been some of your best work (Fabien is also class!) Like a pro though you never showed you weren’t feeling it so much and you’ve still been the best content creator. Well deserved break for sure but it’s a relief to know you won’t be disappearing! Wow - hope you took a day off to read that hefty message! 😆 x

Thanks for the update. As you’re getting older, like all of us, maybe some videos on what you might do differently to keep in shape?

Would love to see you do workout videos or day in the life videos with you and the other Gladiators/behind the scenes of it! Nice to see you get the excitement back for it again!

Appreciate the transparency Matt lovely to see your growth even if you don’t decide to continue with KZfaq whatever your future endeavour is I wish you both the best and thank you providing a lot of us something great to watch. ❤️😁

Great to see your channel's progress. Been sub'd since Jan of 2015. Keep up the good work!

What about a video on how it came about you becoming a gladiator? And the process of becoming one?

What a journey❤glad to be a part of it!

I remember watching the videos with the baby. And the cool intros when he was older...

Good points in here Matt! Thanks for uploading!

Love to see that you are not quitting! I think you should do a video on what it is like being a Gladiator and the experience you had with the filming. Your videos are so entertaining.

Sooo glad your not quitting KZfaq been a fan for years! Would love to see like a behind the scenes of life as a gladiator now that would be soo good to see!

Love to see some videos of you and the other gladiators doing behind the scenes, or some silly fitness challenges etc. No idea if any rules about that based on contracts or rules, but love that show, love u, wanna see a combo of that stuff!

I just assumed you were busy moving house as that’s very stressful, packing up moving everything and then unpacking. I definitely checked in every Sunday/Monday to see if you had posted a video and was beginning to miss you and the family, but glad to see you were just putting yourself first and taking a break and that you’ve moved into the new house. Hopefully you are settled in and enjoying every aspect of your new home and hope the boys are loving their new rooms. Is the slide in yet or is that still to be finished off?

Have loved seeing u on Gladiators and would love to see u doing stuff with the other Gladiators so we get to see their personalities and what they are really like as they tend to show u more than the others

Literally the best person on the planet yet still saturated with humility I love it :). Had no idea you were a youtuber at all but my family are very much a fan of Gladiators and Legend and now I'm browsing through your back catalogue. Quite the legacy man it's amazing.

Updated house video will always be good once the garden/ pool room is finished

Love your work on gladiators Just watching the final now! Keep it up😊

really enjoy your videos. any food challenges are always good to watch

Can’t imagine how tough it is to maintain the uploads and the pressure of producing consistent content. Love the videos and channel - look forward to the sporadic uploads!

Looking foward to the future mate 💪

New series - Gladiator Training, where you tag along with each of the Gladiators and do their workout with them. Could even do a mini interview about their background etc

Yay I'm so glad your aren't quittng KZfaq ❤🎉❤ love watching your videos. You have inspired me so much on my weight loss journey xx

Looking forward to this next year, keep on Gladiatoring!

👍 Liked watching you 6 years ago. Just happened to check what you were up to and happy to see you're movin' on up.
