Testimonials

If anyone’s looking for a PT or a boxing trainer, I can’t recommend Paul enough. He supported me through an injury for over 18 months, and honestly, it made all the difference in my recovery.

I was always the one wanting to increase weights and push harder (too competitive, aye?!), and he often held me back when I didn’t fully agree at the time, but I’m really glad he did. That balance that Paul brought between progression and protection was exactly what I needed, even when I couldn’t see it myself.

Thanks to his guidance, I’m now feeling much stronger and completely pain-free. I genuinely credit him for how well and how quickly I recovered.

Super grateful for his patience, knowledge, and how invested he is in his clients. I couldn’t recommend him more. 

Highly recommended, Jono

I’ve been training with Paul since January 2025, and the progress I’ve made has been incredible. I’m significantly stronger and lifting much heavier weights than I ever thought I could. Building strength has not only improved my performance in the gym, but I’ve also noticed I get fewer injuries and recover better.

Training with Paul has also grown my confidence in my own abilities. He knows when to push me and understands what I’m capable of. His support, knowledge, and encouragement make every session enjoyable.

I really look forward to our sessions and highly recommend training with Paul to anyone wanting to get stronger, feel more confident, and see real results.

For someone that has never been motivated to spend time in the gym, weekly PT sessions with Paul have provided me a solid foundation for an active lifestyle. Over the last year of PT there has been a noticeable improvement in overall muscle strength that has contributed in preventing previous chronic back pain.

Highly recommended, Jono

Paora has changed my life! After my heart attack in 2018 I was too scared to do too much vigorous activity. But after being told last year my fitness was below average, I thought I could possibly return to boxing. The gym connected me to Paora and I’ve never looked back! I’ve loved our sessions right from the start! Paora is very positive, encouraging and really listens and is thoughtful about the best approach to help. The exercises he gave me to recover after an ankle injury were really effective! I look forward all day to our sessions, which are also a significant stress relief after a hard day at work. I’ve also had my brain challenged in new ways by his long combinations!! Highly recommended!
