Matt Kollat

Matt is T3's Active editor, which sounds weird, but what it means is that he looks after all things fitness, outdoors and transportation – anything that gets you moving and out of the door will go through his hands. He's a self-proclaimed expert in running and workout shoes/gear, wearables (including multisport watches, fitness trackers and sports headphones), home gym equipment, action cams and drones, cycling gear (e.g. sunnies, helmets, etc.), sports supplements (such as protein powder, mass gainers and so on), various outdoor equipment and more. 

Hired initially as a writer for T3's Living and Fitness verticals in 2019, Matt quickly began writing about fitness-related things only when people realised he knew nothing about Hue lights or washing machines. As time went on and the more he immersed himself in the topics, he became somewhat of an authority in the field of health, fitness and outdoors, not least because he's obsessed with those topics and even when he isn't at work, he reads/watches/does them continuously.

His achievements include being the co-host of a short-lived fitness show called the Fit Mentality Podcast and a judge on the Fit&Well Awards 2021 and the Techradar Choice Awards 2021. He also judged the European Specialist Sports Nutrition Alliance's ESSNawards in 2022. Matt's superpower is to turn any conversation into a discussion about macronutrients and the best kettlebell exercises for shoulders, regardless of the original topic.

Matt also dabbles with content creation and has a keen interest in all things audio and video. He has a Youtube channel called Pace Max Pro, where he – surprise! – reviews fitness and outdoor products and dishes out unsolicited training advice and tips. When he isn't working out, running or cycling, you'll find him roaming the countryside and trying out new podcasting and content creation equipment.
