Georgia Personal Training
Congratulations to the Atlanta Braves for winning the World Series! Seems appropriate to talk baseball for a bit. The professional trainers and owners of Georgia Personal Training (GPT), Matt and Brandi Lein, have a unique expertise when it comes to baseball player conditioning. That is not to say they do not have additional expertise as they most certainly do. Our team has improved the physical fitness and overall life quality for many clients.
At GPT we have several young baseball players as current or former clients. They have been part of our customized baseball performance training program for a while now and are dedicated, hard-working individuals who are passionate about baseball. As high school baseball players, we have helped them through various seasons to improve various skills important to baseball, including arm strength, flexibility, power, agility, and speed.
This baseball players possess aspirations of playing college baseball, so GPT made it a goal to get them ready for the rigors of college-level baseball and make them attractive candidates for college baseball recruiters.
Our personal trainers know just how difficult baseball can be because Matt played high school and college baseball. It is a sport that requires a wide range of athletic skills and high technical proficiency. A baseball player needs to be physically strong and powerful while maintaining flexibility, range and fluidity of motion, and agility. To do so requires building up muscles in the legs, core, and posterior chain.
Our training facility was designed to address all aspects of baseball-specific agility, speed, and strength workouts. We have over $100,000 of commercial fitness equipment, with numerous options that offer direct baseball applications. This equipment and experience has helped us to train everyone from local youth players to the nation’s top professionals.
To provide continual benefits to these young baseball players, we stay updated on new insights in the world and science of sports performance, including how to incorporate concepts like progressive overload and muscle confusion to optimize their athletic potential.
Beyond exercise and performance, however, we also work with these baseball players on their nutrition, sleep and wellness, and academic and life goals. We have also provided advice about the college recruiting process or anything else that we can help with that’s on the minds of these talented baseball players.

GPT Offers Baseball Conditioning
As a child, Matt’s dream was to play professional baseball. At the age of 12 he sought out the nation’s top baseball trainer and began a daily regimen of elite strength, speed, and agility training. His efforts paid off in a big way. In 1996, Matt was invited to play for the prestigious East Cobb Baseball program. He spent the next 5 summers as a starter for what was widely considered to be the best amateur baseball team in the country.
During his high school tenure Matt was recruited by such top universities as Arizona State, Clemson, UGA, Vanderbilt, West Point, South Carolina, Wofford College, Furman, and Georgia Tech. He was also invited to several private workouts with Major League teams including the Seattle Mariners and Atlanta Braves.
After a highly successful college baseball career at Wofford College and the University of South Carolina, Matt’s took his vast knowledge and passion for training and entered the commercial fitness industry. Before opening his own gym in 2008, Matt worked as a general manager for one of the nation’s largest health club chains. He ran several different locations around Atlanta and was considered one of the top up and comers in the company’s management pipeline.
Matt has also served as head of the personal training departments at several key locations where he oversaw the training programs of hundreds of clients while also managing a very large and diverse staff of personal trainers. While his future was looking bright, Matt always had aspirations of going out on his own, and in 2008 he made that dream a reality by purchasing a popular fitness franchise and founding Georgia Personal Training.
