MEET MATT FLEMING
My name is Matt Fleming, and I'm the founder of Redeemed Strength.
But before I was ever a coach, author, speaker, or a man with a mission, I was a man who had to fight for his life.
For years, I battled addiction, shame, broken identity, and the belief that maybe I was too far gone to ever become anything more. I know what it feels like to be stuck in cycles you hate but cannot seem to break. I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and not recognize the man looking back at you.
I also know what it feels like to finally get tired enough to change.
By the grace of God, my story did not end in addiction. On October 2nd, 2021, I made the decision to get sober and completely rebuild my life. Not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
It did not happen overnight. It did not happen by accident. It happened through faith, discipline, fitness, personal responsibility, and a relentless commitment to becoming the man God called me to be.
Fitness became one of the biggest tools God used to rebuild me. It gave me structure. It taught me discipline. It helped me build confidence, self-respect, and belief in myself again. It showed me how to suffer with purpose instead of suffering without direction.
But over time, I realized something.
Getting in shape was never just about the body, it was about identity.
Every workout was teaching me how to keep promises to myself. Every hard set, every early morning, every time I chose discipline over comfort, I was becoming someone different. I was training my brain to believe something new about who I was and what I was capable of.
That is one of the most powerful things about fitness. It does not just change your body. It rewires your mind. When you repeatedly push through resistance, follow through on commitments, and do hard things on purpose, you begin creating new patterns. New habits. New neural pathways. Over time, your brain starts to see discipline, confidence, resilience, and success as part of who you are.
That is why working out is so powerful. Because you are not just building muscle, you are building evidence.
Evidence that you are not who you used to be. Evidence that you can change. Evidence that you can do hard things. Evidence that with God, discipline, and consistent action, your life can become something completely different.
I also believe addiction shows up in more ways than people want to admit. For one man, it may be drugs or alcohol. For another, it may be food, comfort, avoidance, or other destructive habits. The substance may look different, but the pattern is often the same.
Numbing. Escaping. Seeking comfort. Trying to fill something internally with something external.
That is why I do not look at a man battling his weight with judgment. I understand it. I know what it feels like to use something outside of yourself to cope with what is going on inside. And I know real transformation has to go deeper than the surface.
It's not just about losing weight or building muscle. It's not just about quitting a bad habit.
It's about healing, renewing your mind, rebuilding your identity, and becoming a different man from the inside out.
That is why I created Redeemed Strength.
This is not just fitness coaching. This is a transformation movement for men who are tired of settling, tired of making excuses, and ready to become who God created them to be.
Through faith, fitness, nutrition, mindset, accountability, and brotherhood, I help men rebuild their bodies, renew their minds, strengthen their faith, and take ownership of their lives.

MY STORY
For years, I battled addiction, shame, and broken identity. I know what it feels like to be stuck in cycles you hate but cannot seem to break. This is how God rebuilt me from the inside out.
The substance may look different, but the pattern is often the same. Numbing. Escaping. Seeking comfort. Trying to fill something internally with something external.
I carried the pain for years, the broken identity, and the path of drug and alcohol abuse that nearly destroyed my life.
By the grace of God, my story did not end in addiction. There comes a point when the pain of remaining the same becomes greater than the pain of change, and that is when change finally becomes possible.
October 2nd, 2021. The day I chose to get sober and rebuild everything.
Every workout was teaching me how to keep promises to myself. Every hard set, every early morning, every time I chose discipline over comfort, I was becoming someone different.
It showed me how to suffer with purpose instead of suffering without direction.
My mission is simple. To help men become stronger physically, mentally, and spiritually so they can lead themselves, their families, and their lives with purpose.
Real transformation has to go deeper than the surface. It's about healing, renewing your mind, and becoming a different man from the inside out.
I do not share my story because I am proud of who I used to be. I share it because I know there is someone out there who feels stuck, ashamed, or lost, and they need to know that their story is not over.
With God, discipline, and the willingness to do the hard work, your life can become something completely different.

THE BOOK
A raw story of addiction, redemption, discipline, and rebuilding a life through faith.
You Rule The Way is the real and raw truth about my life, where I came from, what I went through, and what it took for God to rebuild me from the inside out.
In this book, I open up about the struggles I faced growing up, the pain I carried for years, the broken identity I lived with, and the path of drug and alcohol abuse that nearly destroyed my life. I share the choices I made, the consequences that came with those choices, and the moments where I had to finally stop blaming everything around me, look in the mirror, and take responsibility for the man I had become.
But this book is not just about addiction, and it's not just about the darkness I walked through. It's about what happens when a man gets tired of running, surrenders his life to God, and decides that no matter how far he has fallen, he is still willing to fight for the life he was created to live.
Throughout these pages, I share the things I have done to better myself as a man mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I talk about faith, discipline, fitness, mindset, personal responsibility, and the daily work it takes to rebuild your identity and become someone different, because there comes a point when the pain of remaining the same becomes greater than the pain of change, and that is when change finally becomes possible.
I also believe that nothing you have been through has to be wasted. The pain, the mistakes, the heartbreak, the addiction, the shame, and the seasons you thought would break you can all become part of the purpose God uses to rebuild you and reach other people through you. That does not mean the pain was good, but it does mean God can use it for good when you are willing to surrender it, learn from it, and let it shape you into the person He called you to be.
I do not share my story because I am proud of who I used to be. I share it because I know there is someone out there who feels stuck, ashamed, lost, or too far gone, and they need to know that their story is not over.
Your past does not have to define you. Your mistakes do not have to disqualify you. Your lowest moments do not have to become the place where your life ends. With God, discipline, and the willingness to do the hard work, your life can become something completely different.
That is what this book is about: taking what was meant to destroy you and allowing God to use it to build you, strengthen you, and turn your pain into purpose.
THE PROCESS
Redeemed Strength is for men who are ready to rebuild their body, renew their mind, strengthen their faith, and take ownership of their life.
Change doesn't come from knowing what to do.
It comes from executing consistently.
Most men aren't lacking information...
They're lacking discipline, structure, and accountability.
If you're tired of starting over, if you're done making excuses, and you know you're capable of more but keep falling short... I'll help you close that gap.
Through faith, fitness, discipline, accountability, and a structured plan I help men become the version of themselves God intended them to be.
No shortcuts.
No hand-holding.
Just real work and real results.
If you're ready to go all in... I'm ready to meet you there.

TESTIMONIALS
“We can't fully express the impact Matt Fleming has had on our lives. During one of the darkest and most debilitating times in Josie's life, when depression felt overwhelming and isolating, she reached out to Matt for help.”
What started as a simple request for weight training became something far more meaningful. Matt met her with understanding, care, and compassion. When he shared that he had also faced his own struggles with mental health and addiction, his honesty and empathy created a powerful bond built on trust, respect, and a shared understanding of life's challenges.
Through his guidance, Josie began to see that she was not alone and that she could overcome her depression. Matt didn't just train her physically; he helped restore her mentally and emotionally. During a time when even the smallest steps felt overwhelming, he provided steady support, motivation, and a deep belief in her, helping guide her toward a path of recovery.
Together, we can confidently say that Matt has been one of the most influential people in our lives. During one of the darkest periods we have ever experienced, he stepped in and helped guide us toward renewed hope and healing.
Matt is more than a trainer. He is a healer, a mentor, and a constant source of inspiration with enduring faith. What he did for us was life-changing, and we will forever be grateful.
Founder, Sidewalk Sherpas
“I met Matt a few years ago when he guided me into what was a new journey for me of strength training. I came into this new world as a woman in her late forties, with no experience, stepping into what I considered a hyper-masculine environment where I felt very much out of place. Matt was the perfect guide for that transition.”
He met me exactly where I was, without judgment, and had a way of making that unfamiliar world not only accessible, but welcoming.
What sets Matt apart is his mastery of his craft. Like anyone operating at a high level, he has the rare ability to break down complex ideas into something simple and understandable, without losing depth. He didn't just teach me how to lift, he helped me understand how my body works as a whole. As I learned proper form, he was simultaneously connecting the dots between muscle groups, movement patterns, and overall function. I've never felt so connected to my body and walked away with a level of awareness and respect that I had never experienced before.
Matt has a passion that is contagious and his willingness to share his intensity and strength, alongside his vulnerabilities and struggles, is a rare combination that makes him the perfect coach, and an amazing human. When you see Matt you assume he's one of those people that has always excelled at everything and has had discipline dialed in for so long that he doesn't even have to think about it. But when you meet Matt, and he shares some of the stories he's shared in this book with you, it shifts something in you that makes the things he's accomplished not feel so distant or unattainable, but possible for you as well.
That's because Matt never lost connection to where he came from. He brings a level of presence, humility, and genuine care that is rare, especially in an environment where ego can easily take over. I experienced that firsthand. Whether I pushed past a weight I didn't think I could lift, mastered a movement, or saw signs of muscle growth, Matt met it with real excitement and pride. Not because the achievement was extraordinary by the standards he was used to, but because it mattered to me, and that mattered to him.
That kind of investment in another person's growth is uncommon. And it's what makes his work transformative.
Matt's gift isn't just his strength, it's his ability to show others that strength is built, not given. He allows people to borrow his belief in them until they develop their own, all while making it clear that what he has achieved was earned through effort, discipline, and resilience. Which means it's available to anyone willing to do the work.
That message changes people. And it's why his impact will extend far beyond the individuals he's trained. This book is not just a story, it's an invitation to see what's possible.
“I've had several personal trainers for the past 20 years. All of them good, but my experience with Matt was not only productive for strength and conditioning, it was a lifelong learning lesson on physical fitness.”
He is committed to making sure he understands your personal goals along with your physical strength and abilities.
Most of all, Matt's personal demeanor compliments his professional skills and qualities for an overall positive impact as a personal trainer. His integrity and work ethic are impeccable. I am appreciative that I was able to meet this gifted and highly qualified individual and am confident he will continue to improve others lifestyle with his positive attitude and expertise in the area of coaching and training!
“When I was first introduced to Matt, I had already started my health journey two years prior, but I still struggled with drinking and eating out. Matt helped me realize that no matter how hard I worked in the gym, alcohol and poor food choices would never allow me to truly progress.”
At first, it was difficult to give up what felt like freedom, having a beer and a burger whenever I wanted. But through phone calls and Zoom meetings with the other men in the group, I realized I wasn't alone. Many of us were dealing with the same struggles.
Matt kept me accountable. He always found the wins, even when I fell short of what I committed to. Over time, my cravings started to fade, and that is when the results really began to happen. As I built momentum and saw my progress firsthand, I gained the confidence to say no to anything that did not serve my purpose.
Throughout the year, I became stronger, not just in the gym, but in my food choices and as a leader. People started noticing the direction I was heading. Coworkers, parents at my kids' school, and members of my church began pulling me aside asking what the secret was.
My answer was always the same. Having a coach, being consistent, and truly wanting a better life.
Matt taught me how to fall in love with the process. He helped me find my purpose as a father, a husband, a man of God, and a business owner. My life has changed forever, and the path I am on now feels set in stone.
After a year of working together, I found out that Matt was going to be at the same event where we had first met a year prior. I booked a plane ticket, stayed in a hotel, and found him at the event the next day. I needed to tell him face to face how much he had impacted my life. A phone call or message would not have been enough. We spent about 30 minutes together talking about life, and then I caught my flight home.
Matt, thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

I do not speak from theory. I speak from experience. I know what it is like to battle addiction, hit rock bottom, lose yourself, and wonder if life will ever become anything more than survival.

My message is for anyone who knows they were created for more.
From people battling addiction, shame, and broken identity, to high-level business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders who want to 10x their body, mindset, discipline, and performance, my message meets people where they are and challenges them to become who they were called to be.
I speak about addiction, identity, discipline, fitness, faith, mindset, personal responsibility, and what it takes to turn pain into purpose. My goal is not just to inspire people for a moment. My goal is to challenge them, wake them up, and leave them with something they can actually apply to their lives.
