I started working with Paul 9 months ago, at 5’9” and 230 lbs, I was active, but not satisfied
with my self-guided efforts to improve my physical condition. I needed a coach to guide my fitness plan. I talked with many
trainers before deciding to give Paul a trial. My initial criteria: physiologically sound principles, an appreciation of individual
needs, and a willingness to work with my unique constraints. I travel heavily for business, and I needed a realistic plan
that allowed for an ever-changing exercise routine and guidance with nutritional requirements. Paul recommended a long-term approach that would
serve me better than a short-term, dramatic approach. I worked with Paul every other week, on average, and gradually introduced
more self-discipline into my own routine between appointments. The effects have been dramatic, and I am now 185 lbs, a size
34 waist instead of a 38, and eat appropriately-sized meals for my activity level and BMR. Unlike my previous attempts to
improve physical condition, I have actually learned much more about what my body actually needs to be healthy, how I can incorporate
weight-training into a passion for endurance sports, and I have overcome my fear of “the gym environment”. Paul pays particular attention to form and balance,
always coming back to core strength. His coaching style is calm and encouraging, never intimidating or guilt-driven. If I
hadn’t worked with Paul, I don’t think I would have made anywhere near the progress that I have experienced to-date. Brad H.
