Matt Hoo of 5th Element Wellness

Leading a Holistic Revolution in Health & Wellness

At the core of 5th Element Wellness (5EW) lies a belief that true health goes far beyond aesthetics—it’s about helping people thrive from the inside out. Under the direction of Matt Hoo, founder and driving force behind the Fitzroy North-based facility, 5EW has become a leader in evidence-based, holistic wellness. Through a unique integration of science, coaching, and community, the business has been awarded Australia’s Top Fitness Business five times—an achievement that reflects its commitment to real, sustainable results.

Putting People First: The 5EW Mission

After a decade in traditional big-box gyms, Matt became disillusioned with the “quick fix” culture and cookie-cutter approaches to health. He envisioned something different—something better.

“I wanted to create a place that puts people first. One that’s not just about physiques, but about health, consistency, and long-term transformation,” says Matt. “5th Element Wellness was built on the foundation of holistic principles, and it’s supported by a team of expert coaches who care deeply about every individual who walks through our doors.”

From the beginning, the goal was bold but clear: to become the best holistic health and performance facility in Australia. And with numerous national awards and a deeply loyal client base, they’re well on their way.

A Science-Backed, Human-Centred Approach

5EW isn’t your average gym. It’s a wellness ecosystem. The team uses some of the most advanced diagnostic tools in the industry to personalise each client’s pathway:

  • Biomechanical Assessments

  • HRV Testing

  • InBody Bioelectrical Scans (measuring visceral fat, BMD, body fat %, and more)

  • Blood Chemistry Analysis

  • DNA Methylation Profiling

  • Stress & Adrenal Panels

  • Microbiome Gut Testing

These assessments allow for highly tailored training, nutrition, and recovery protocols, all delivered with ongoing education and real accountability.

“We believe health is about more than how you look—it's how you function, how you feel, and how you show up in life,” Matt explains. “We want to help people be the ripple—to become strong, resilient, and empowered in a way that positively influences those around them.”

Why Nutrition Capital? Shared Values & Strategic Partnership

“It’s all about congruence,” Matt says. “Nutrition Capital shares our commitment to quality, education, and genuine service. The partnership allows us to refer our clients to a trusted source of supplements that we know will support their goals, and it gives them exposure to expert advice outside our facility.”

How This Partnership Benefits the Community

Through joint events, shared education initiatives, and a unified commitment to wellness, the 5EW–Nutrition Capital partnership is a platform for real change.

“We’re not just training bodies; we’re changing lives,” Matt says. “This collaboration gives our members access to the best products and the education to use them properly. That means better results, better habits, and ultimately, better quality of life.”
