Matt Kollat is a journalist and content creator for T3.com and T3 Magazine, where he works as Active Editor. His areas of expertise span wearables, drones, action cameras, running and cycling gear, fitness equipment, nutrition and outdoor kit. He joined T3 in 2019.
In his role, Matt looks after all things fitness, outdoors and wearables – anything that gets you moving and keeps you healthy. His coverage includes running and training shoes, smartwatches and multisport watches, fitness trackers, sports headphones, home gym equipment, action cameras, drones and outdoor gear.
Originally hired to write across T3’s Living and Fitness verticals, Matt quickly gravitated towards health, fitness and outdoor tech, eventually becoming one of the web’s go-to voices in the space. He regularly interviews designers, executives and engineers from leading brands including Garmin, Apple, Nike, Samsung and Strava, and contributes long-form features and in-depth interviews to T3 Magazine.
Matt is particularly interested in how technology can make sport, health and the outdoors more accessible and enjoyable, and believes the best gear is the kind you forget you’re wearing once you start moving.
His career highlights include co-hosting the Fit Mentality Podcast, judging the Fit&Well Awards and TechRadar Choice Awards in 2021, and serving as a judge for the ESSNAwards in 2022. He also appeared as a guest on Voice FM’s The Technology Show in 2026.
Away from the desk, Matt has completed multiple marathons and endurance challenges, including the Mongol 100 ultramarathon, the London, Paris and Loch Ness marathons, and the New Forest Half Marathon. He is also an enthusiastic mountain explorer, with Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Dolomites among his favourite destinations.
Matt runs a YouTube channel, Pace Max Pro, where he reviews fitness and outdoor gadgets and shares training insights. When he isn’t testing gadgets or working out, he’s usually roaming the countryside with a camera in hand.
