success stories
“I have lost more than 5kg of fat and gained some lean muscle, which reduced my body fat by 5.8%” I have been working with Paul as my Personal Trainer for over a year. Since beginning my one-to-one sessions with Paul I have lost more than 5kg of fat and gained some lean muscle, which reduced my body fat by 5.8%, putting me into the healthy category for my age and height. Paul’s training sessions are always well planned, varied and enjoyable. They are designed at an appropriate level to help you achieve your goals yet offer challenge too. Paul is great to work with, as he is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He encourages you to achieve your potential in a supportive and fun way. Louise Chandler, Teacher - York “Within two weeks of training with Paul … not only had my back and hip pain eased a lot but I felt stronger and fitter overall” I always used to be sceptical about personal training; I thought it was just for those who had more money than sense. However, I had long suffered from a recurring back/hip pain (for which I’d seen three different physiotherapists) and when Paul advised that he specialised in postural correction and muscle imbalance I wondered if he might be able to help. Within two weeks of training with Paul (I trained with him once every week for one hour and then repeated the training two further times until we next met) I was ‘eating my words’, not only had my back and hip pain eased a lot but I felt stronger and fitter overall. As the programme progressed, I was continually impressed with the way Paul tailored the exercises to my needs and succeeded in correcting problematic imbalances in my physique. The ‘bar was continually raised’ and I never got bored of the range and types of exercises given to me. Training with Paul has drastically improved my sense of well being and is really enjoyable. I’d recommend his professional and highly successful approach to anyone seeking to improve their strength and fitness, particularly those with persistent muscular aches and pains. Kristina Lomas, Research Assistant - Leeds “I experienced increases in both muscle size and definition, particularly in those areas where I was experiencing diminishing returns from my previous training programme” I decided to get a Personal Trainer after I'd stopped making progress with my training routine. I trained with Paul for twelve weeks, taking two sessions per week initially and then moving down to one session per week for the last phase. Paul initially completed a postural assessment and tailored the routine towards correcting any problems and improving the strength of weaker muscles. After only a few sessions, I noticed a significant improvement in my flexibility and also in my running endurance. Over the remainder of the time I spent working with Paul, I experienced increases in both muscle size and definition, particularly in those areas where I was experiencing diminishing returns from my previous training programme.
I found my training programme physically very challenging due to the week-on-week progressions in the various exercises, but it was ultimately this progression that gave me the biggest satisfaction. Over and above being a good bloke, I particularly enjoyed working with Paul due to his attention to my technique and making sure that I was continually challenged in each and every session. I was sorry to see Paul leave my current gym and hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future. Ben Davison, Deputy Director, Delivery, BT Global Services - Leeds “On the flexibility side the improvements have been incredible with movement I never thought possible coming as second nature”
I've worked with Paul for six months, following a series of exercise routines designed to address core strength, flexibility, upper and lower body strengthening, and toning. His programmes have always challenged, providing a constant source of interest with no risk of boredom kicking in. I never realised that you could achieve so much from following a tailored programme often working out simply using your own body or light weights. As a runner, the improvements to my speed and endurance have been remarkable, my training runs surpassing my previous efforts without any of the aches and pains I normally experience. My recovery time also seems to be faster. In addition, I can now show off some upper body contours where none were evident before-a testament to the all-round nature of Paul's programmes. On the flexibility side the improvements have been incredible with movement I never thought possible coming as second nature. Mark Keogan, VAT Manager, GE - Leeds “I noticed by the second month that I was already making progress. Not only was my posture being improved, but I was also ready to move to another level of exercises that I wouldn’t have been able to undergo without the first phase” I trained with Paul for 7 months, and during this period it was obvious that he was very experienced with what he was teaching. He knew which exercise had to be done and how it should be done, in order to maximise the benefit. Paul had a whole variety of exercises that I had never seen before, and they were all challenging and very beneficial, especially the dynamic workouts which included using the whole body to achieve a full body workout. I noticed by the second month that I was already making progress. Not only was my posture being improved, but I was also ready to move to another level of exercises that I wouldn’t have been able to undergo without the first phase. By the end of the 7th month, I had achieved a remarkable progress, and had fulfilled all my personal goals. I am glad that I had the chance to train with a Personal Trainer like Paul, who is not only professional but also respectful, polite, and hardworking. Ahmed El-Shenawy, Engineer - Leeds “My partnership with Paul has had a profoundly positive impact on my life and without hesitation I would recommend him as a Personal Trainer” I have been working with Paul for four months. Over this time I have made great progress and feel significantly better, both physically and emotionally. I have reduced my body fat percentage by over 5% so far, losing more than 6kg of body fat whilst maintaining my lean muscle. I have found Paul to be professional, knowledgeable and an inspirational motivator. His training sessions are always varied, carefully planned and fun. They are set at a level which is both challenging and rewarding. I have both short and long term goals which with effort and commitment I am certain are achievable. My partnership with Paul has had a profoundly positive impact on my life and without hesitation I would recommend him as a Personal Trainer. Jill Elliott, Teacher - York “I have been active all my life and have done weight training in the past but I was still surprised at the results I achieved with Paul” David Boyce “I feel that I am now genuinely making the progress that I want to. Paul has been patient and understanding, recognising that gradual but sustainable improvement is the key” Mike Bainbridge “I used to think I didn't need a Personal Trainer. Paul has assisted me for four months and I realise now what I have been missing. In the course of those four months, my weight has come down by 4 kg, my body fat percentage by 2%, my waist by 6 cm and my blood pressure by 10%” Andrew Bodman “Thanks to Paul I passed my police fitness test, and have continued to work with him, and I am now the fittest I have ever been” Cheryl Hunter “I feel so much fitter, more alive and eager to exercise” Pam Broadbent “Through Paul’s caring attitude, he has supported and encouraged us to take our fitness to an even higher level. With his continuous support we have achieved excellent results. Paul is a true professional and we cannot recommend him highly enough” David and Margaret Watts
