General Manager
Matt McMillan is our General Manager at Pensacola Athletic Center. A self-described “Gym Rat”, Matt says “there is no other place I would rather be!” Matt truly loves helping people reach their full potential and does so by being a student of the industry. He is always researching fitness related issues and looking for ways to improve workouts, exercises, equipment, etc.
After retiring from the Navy in 2013 and moving to Pensacola, the passion he had for health and fitness led him to become a certified Master Trainer with ISSA. He formerly worked at the Pensacola Downtown YMCA for several years and played a large role in the expansion project at the Downtown Y. Looking to continue his growth in the industry, Matt discovered that the PAC had been purchased and was looking to undergo an expansion/remodel project of its own. Recognizing the need for a premier fitness facility on the Southwest side of Pensacola, Matt knew he could be a vital part of its growth and after joined the team soon thereafter. When Matt isn’t working, he loves spending time with his family and…well, yes, working out!!!
