About Me
Hi, I’m Jan Matos, and I believe that success in fitness—and in life—starts with the right MINDSET.
From an early age, I was drawn to structure, progression, and pushing limits. Whether it was in training, creativity, or personal growth, I always wanted to find ways to improve, to challenge myself, and to evolve. That drive led me to study human performance, strength training, and the science of transformation, earning my Master’s in Kinesiology & Exercise Science and my C.S.C.S. certification.
But beyond certifications and knowledge, what really matters to me is helping people break through their barriers—mentally and physically. I believe fitness is more than just lifting weights or following a diet; it's about building discipline, confidence, and resilience that translate into every area of life.
At my core, I want to guide others to find their own strength, purpose, and ability to stay LOCKED IN on their goals—not just in the gym, but in everything they pursue.
For years, I’ve seen people struggle with inconsistent training, random workouts, and unsustainable fitness approaches.
I started Locked In Lifestyle because I wanted to create a solution something that eliminates the guesswork, brings structure to training, and helps people achieve real, sustainable results. Too many fitness programs focus on quick fixes, unrealistic expectations, and short-term gains. I wanted to build a system that prioritizes long-term success, science-backed training, and a mindset that carries over into all areas of life.
My online coaching is for those who want to train with purpose not just follow random workouts. It’s designed to help athletes, busy professionals, and everyday people build a strong, athletic physique through structured, progressive training. By following a proven system that eliminates guesswork and maximizes results, you’ll sharpen the discipline and mindset needed to stay consistent in your training, while carrying that same focus into other areas of life.

Many people train without a clear plan—lifting weights, doing cardio, and eating "clean"—but struggle to make real progress. Without structure, results stall, motivation fades, and frustration sets in.
My coaching provides a clear, individualized system designed for long-term success:
🔹 Progressive Training – Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, my coaching adapts to your needs. You may go through strength, hypertrophy, power, aerobic training, or recovery cycles—or even multiple at once—depending on your goals and progress.
🔹 Flexible Nutrition Strategies – Not everyone will follow a macro-based plan. I tailor nutrition strategies to fit your lifestyle and performance needs, whether through tracking macros or structured eating habits.
🔹 Built for Longevity – This isn’t a quick-fix program. It’s about building habits, making consistent progress, and ensuring long-term results without burnout.
The System
Your body can stand almost anything.
It’s your MIND you have to convince.
What’s Wrong With the Current Space?
The fitness industry is full of quick fixes, extreme diets, and programs that don’t actually build long-term results.
🔥 Randomness over strategy – No structured progress = No real growth.
🔥 "Burn more, eat less" is outdated – Smart training requires fuel, not starvation.
🔥 People get stuck in cycles – Going all in, burning out, starting over.
I built a smarter approach—one that’s about training with intent, building strength over time, and creating lasting change.
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths.

The Fitness Industry biggest problem
The Fitness Industry biggest problem
-
The biggest issue with the fitness industry isn’t a lack of information—it’s too much misinformation. From social media influencers pushing trendy workouts to outdated diet myths that refuse to die, people are constantly bombarded with conflicting advice. The fitness industry sells fads because they’re easy to market, not because they work.
-
❌ Confusion Over What Works – Misinformation leads people to waste time on ineffective methods.
-
❌ The All-Or-Nothing Mentality – Many believe fitness has to be extreme, causing burnout.
❌ Quick Fix Culture – People are sold unrealistic results instead of sustainable habits. -
The solution? A structured, personalized system that adapts to your lifestyle and goals, built on principles that stand the test of time.
The Elephant
In The Room:
Fads & Quick Fixes
The fitness industry thrives on quick fixes and shortcuts, selling the idea that results come overnight. Crash diets, extreme workout routines, and miracle supplements promise fast progress but rarely deliver sustainable change. These fads create cycles of frustration—people jump from one trend to another, never building long-term success.
The truth? Real progress takes time, consistency, and a structured approach. Instead of chasing temporary fixes, focus on progressive training, strategic nutrition, and proper recovery—all backed by science, not marketing gimmicks.
THE ELEPHANT'S TRUNK (WHICH IS BASICALLY THEIR NOSE) ALSO OPERATES AS AN ARM; THEY USE IT TO POUR WATER INTO THEIR MOUTHS, TO GRAB OBJECTS OR GROOM THEMSELVES. WHEN ELEPHANTS SWIM IN DEEP WATERS, THEY USE THEIR TRUNKS AS SNORKELS.

Testimonials
"I kept getting little injuries every season—hamstring pulls, groin strains, and ankle tweaks. We started focusing on movement quality, strength, and recovery. I finally got through a full season without missing time, and I felt way stronger on the ball."
— Alex T
"I used to do nothing but high-intensity workouts, thinking I needed to sweat like crazy to see progress. Jan showed me the value of structured strength training and proper recovery. Now I feel stronger, more capable, and I’m not constantly sore or exhausted."
— Ashley D.
"I was always that person who went to the gym but never knew if I was doing the right thing. I’d jump from one program to another, hoping to see results. Jan helped me build a system that works, and for the first time, I’m making actual progress and feeling confident in my training." - Rachael W
"I used to struggle with staying consistent. Every workout felt like something I had to force myself to do. Long conversations with Jan (lol) helped me shift my mindset—now, I actually look forward to training because I can see and feel my progress. "
— Michelle K.
"I’ve always been quick, but I struggled with losing speed late in games. This program helped me build endurance without losing my explosiveness. By the time the season started, I was still sprinting hard in the 90th minute, and my recovery between games was way better."
— Luis M
"After struggling with nagging injuries from years of bad lifting technique, I knew I needed a smarter approach. Jan’s programming helped me rebuild my strength while actually improving my mobility and recovery. I’m lifting heavier than ever without feeling broken."
— Tyler J.
