Matt Kollat
Matt Kollat is a journalist and content creator who works for T3.com and its magazine counterpart as an Active Editor. His areas of expertise include wearables, drones, action cameras, running and cycling gear, fitness equipment, nutrition and outdoor kit. He joined T3 in 2019.
As an Active Editor, he looks after all things fitness, outdoors and wearables – anything that gets you moving and keeps you fit and healthy will go through his hands. He covers running and workout shoes/gear, wearables (including smartwatches, multisport watches, fitness trackers and sports headphones), home gym equipment, action cams and drones, cycling gear (e.g. sunnies, helmets, etc.), sports supplements (protein powders and mass gainers), 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 all things health, fitness and outdoors, he became somewhat of an authority in those fields. One might say he's obsessed with those topics; even when he isn't at work, he reads outdoor gear reviews, watches workout videos and flies drones 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.
Through work and clearly because he has too much time on his hands, Matt completed many marathons and cycling adventures in the past. These include the Mongol 100, a multi-day ultramarathon, the London Marathon, the Paris Marathon, the Loch Ness Marathon, the New Forest Half Marathon and more. His next challenge is to cycle across the UK from east to west in a day.
He also dabbles with content creation and is keenly interested 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 video/audio equipment.
