I started training with Paul around 8 months ago and have really enjoyed the process from start to finish.
Paul has been great at guiding me in both the nutrition and weight training aspects of the program, with the goal of getting leaner and stronger. He also put together a very efficient program that was able to fit into 3 gym sessions per week which has been great during periods when there has been a lot going on at work. He has also set additional workouts that I am able to do at hotels while travelling.
The whole experience has been very rewarding so far and I plan to continue training with Paul, with the goal of continued improvement in health and fitness.

I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience with Paul. His programming expertise is outstanding, as he tailors each workout to suit my specific needs and goals. Even after recovering from a lumbar microdiscectomy 18 months ago, Paul took my health history into account and designed a safe and effective exercise regimen that not only improved my strength and muscle size but also alleviated any post-surgery concerns. His commitment to staying up to date with the latest information in fitness and health is evident, and it's reassuring to know that I'm in the hands of a knowledgeable professional.
What sets Paul apart from other trainers is his remarkable ability to build rapport with his clients. He creates a warm and friendly environment that makes every session enjoyable and motivating. Despite the challenging nature of the workouts, Paul's positive and encouraging attitude keeps me engaged and focused throughout. Every milestone achieved under his guidance felt incredibly rewarding, and it's inspiring to see the progress I've made under his guidance.
I wholeheartedly recommend Paul to anyone seeking a fitness coach who truly cares about their well-being. Thank you, Paul, for being the driving force behind my fitness success!

I’ve been overweight for 30 years. I’m 30 years old. I have numerous ‘before’ pictures taken at various points in my life and I thought it was about time I worked towards the ‘after’.
Paul was recommended to me through a friend that I had seen go on an inspiring fat to fit journey over recent years. I was as optimistic and hopeful as I was with every other personal trainer I’ve met in my time. I guess I thought I’d give it a go for a while and then gradually tell myself that eating was my thing and I looked ok how I was. This was different. With Paul I knew I would succeed. I had an overwhelming sense of determination that I didn’t know existed.
I’ve never been bothered about winning. I’ve always been happy to just scrape by, doing the minimum. A ‘one up from the bottom’ kind of guy. Not anymore, I told Paul I want to be his number one success story. I still have a way to go but he truly has made me see what’s possible and feel the best I’ve ever felt.
Charlie Fanner
I was recommended by a friend to contact Paul about some personal training sessions after sustaining a pretty serious knee injury playing football. I had put on about 10kg and my leg muscles had pretty much wasted away.
I asked Paul to base my sessions around strengthening my leg again and to lose the weight I had gained whilst being in the leg brace.
Paul split my training into 4 week blocks, mainly focusing on getting my form corrected and he provided me with a meal plan to follow as I progressed through the workout blocks.
He also provided the use of a workout app to help track my progress which was extremely useful in keeping me motivated.
Whilst having 2 sessions a week with Paul, he also gave me training sessions to do alone and always followed up with me during the week to see how I was getting on.
I would highly recommend using Paul as a personal trainer as he kept me focused in achieving my goals, helping me get into my best shape.
Eric Finnell
As cliche as it sounds, I’m 34 and in easily the best shape of my life. I looked back at periods where I thought I was in really good shape- I wasn’t. Previously I would get skinny and then balloon back up again. This time, I tried getting help with Paul. I started out at 16.6% bodyfat. I’m now at 9% bodyfat and can lift (by any measure) more than I’ve ever been able to.
In my opinion, to really succeed with a physical trainer, they have to have two traits. The first is that you actually have to want to be around them for an hour multiple times a week. Paul is a genuinely nice guy and a good conversationalist. He’s encouraging, but not to the point of being pandering or disingenuous.
The second is that the trainer is able to devise a plan that is enjoyable, varied and (most importantly) gets results. In just over 100 days working together, Paul has put together 5 (FIVE!) different plans- each one different than the last and each has catered to or worked around my previous injuries. Throughout this, we’ve maintained a keen focus on my diet, INCREASING carbohydrates by ~100g a day. I hadn’t eaten fruit without hating myself for three years- now I eat fruit and love the results.
Working with Paul has been great- I’ve made progress far beyond where I thought I previously could and at no point has it felt too strenuous or unenjoyable. I would fully recommend him (and lots and lots of cauliflower) to anyone that would like to see the kind of result I’ve seen.
Matteo Sassi
I had the desire to push myself to achieve more and more to keep me 'alive'. I wanted to prove to myself that I am able to achieve everything I want with hard work and a good mentality…
Don't be afraid to think big and follow your dreams. Remember it's never too late to start, and remember why you started. Lastly, get trained by the best in the industry - Paul Stevenson, surround yourself with like-minded people and a positive team. Enjoy the journey as every rep is progress made.
Jacob Lunden-Welden
“I am getting married in May and I want to be fit before the ceremony so that I can be as confident as possible on the day and look great for my fiancé.”
The above was your primary goal. Do you believe you achieved this?
“I definitely feel like I am more confident and way more fit than I expected. I believe that my results are not necessarily the ones that I initially expected as I thought that I was going to drop a lot of weight initially. I did have a reach goal of ending the 3 months at 95kg (10kg weight loss). However, it is clear that I was burning fat at the same rate I was building muscle. I think the best way to show this is the fact that I have had to buy a new belt which I really did not expect. So all in all, I did not necessarily meet the weight target I first set for myself but we 100%, unequivocally thrashed the targets I wanted for myself.”
“My fiancés family (from Hong Kong) are all really fit and have really healthy habits. My family (Swedish) do not. I wish I had more confidence around my fiancés family because they are really healthy and sometimes I feel like I am letting them down. I want to change this.”
You mentioned the above on your pre-exercise questionnaire - has your confidence improved as a result of your training & the results you have obtained in doing so? In what other scenarios do you feel better and more confident?
“My fiancés family came over to our house for easter weekend and I felt really confident in my body and my shape and fitness for the first time in a long time. I definitely feel more comfortable in my clothes and I feel more confident walking down the street which is massive. I tried on my wedding suit and I felt super confident that I was looking as good as I possibly could which was a really strong moment for me.”
“Hopeful, excited, determined” was how you initially described yourself in 3 words.
What 3 words would you use now?
“Hopeful, excited, determined!!! I am hopeful that I have changed some really bad habits. I am excited that this has worked. I am determined that this is just the beginning.”
“I want to be able to have a long and healthy life and be as preventative as possible with health related illness.”
Having trained for the past 12 weeks and improved your eating and lifestyle habits, what long-term changes do you think you have made?
“I do feel like mentally there was a bit of a blocker that I would need to put in sooooo much effort to even just see a dent in my health. However, I think the program was designed perfectly for me. We started off with good exercises which didn't force me to go 100% in on the first day but rather ease into going to the gym every day. I feel a lot less stress in my life, I feel a lot more energy, I feel stronger and healthier. I look forward to doing my next body check to see if there have been improvements to my health wellness”
What have you learnt about yourself over the past 3 months?
“I think that I have learned, or relearned, how stubborn I can be. Even when I have had no interest in going to the gym, I have pushed myself to just get out of the house and that has been half the battle because once I am in the gym I always feel great. I have also learned that it is ok to not be perfect. Some days I really have just not had enough time or energy to go to the gym and that's ok. I have also felt really hungry now towards the end of our diet and it is ok if I cannot follow it 100% for 1 month. What I do know is that every morning when I step on the scale and I am weighing less than yesterday, I feel so good about myself and that often gives me the motivation to just stick with it.”
What would you say to someone considering starting training or undergoing a transformation?
“If you are not used to going to the gym, it is so important to have the right motivations in place and to have all the support possible from professionals. They say it takes 21 days to build a habit but that also means that it takes 21 days to cut a habit and the first 21 days was really hard. Having you, Paul, there to keep me accountable and to just give me some words of advice or even to change the plan midway to better suit me has been invaluable. Honestly, to start off with, I would really recommend getting a PT to set you onto the right path.”
Matthew Phillips
After years of taking an all-or-nothing approach to exercise, and blindly trying to manage my nutrition, I emerged from Sydney’s COVID-19 lockdown feeling unfit, overweight and discouraged. But Paul’s thoughtful coaching helped me make evidence-based nutritional choices and develop consistency in my training. Six months later, I’m stronger, fitter and leaner than I’ve been in over a decade.
Importantly for me, I’m able to be consistent with my training while managing a busy job and an active social life. Paul has helped me make informed choices with my training as well as my alcohol and food intake, so I still get to enjoy the finer things in life while maintaining a consistent weight and training form.
Paul’s more of a coach than a once-a-week trainer. He’s a great listener, and generous with his time and extensive technical knowledge. He’ll listen to your specific goals and circumstances, craft a plan, and coach you to achieve your best. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Billy Osborne
Q. I want to get my body fat 16% or lower and raise my muscle mass”. This was your primary goal when starting out training with me. Do you believe you have achieved this?
A. “Absolutely. At my last weigh in with Paul I was below 13% and I am now aiming for 10%. My lean body mass has also increased by 1.5kg”
Q. You stated that you lacked confidence on the beach with taking your shirt off. Is this still the case? How has your confidence improved since starting training with me?
A. “My self confidence has greatly improved and I am more than happy to take my shirt off on the beach now”
Q. Having trained for the past 16 weeks and improved your eating and lifestyle habits, what long-term habits do you think you have made?
A. “I have instilled more awareness in my capabilities, and have gained greater knowledge in the value of nutrition and exercise regimes”
Q. What have you learnt about yourself over the past 3-4 months?
A. “My capabilities of achieving goals and the avenues I am required to perform in order to obtain the goals that I have set”
Q. What would you say to someone considering starting training or undergoing a transformation?
A. “Not to be afraid of the unknown. It is an amazing journey to travel”
Q. Would you recommend my services to others?
A. “100%. Since training with you I have learnt completely new skillsets that have not only enabled me to achieve a transformation both in body and mind. I am also feeling better in relation to my physical job.”
Q. How would you describe me in 3 words?
A. “Knowledgeable, understanding, mentally and physically aware and above all a gentleman”
Tim Purss
Prior to seeing Paul, I had moderate success previously with weight loss but was still very overweight and had been so since my early teens. I found setting a goal that will take several months to accomplish while requiring consistent discipline horrifically daunting (the root cause of previous missed goals). Paul's approach to training worked really well for me. Start small and build from there. I wasn't going for one big win but rather a series of smaller wins.
I've now reached the goal weight I set with Paul back in September 19'. Total weight loss to date has been just over 35kgs.
Other than weight loss, my strength, cardio fitness and overall health has dramatically improved. I have less joint pain, sleep better and have a better outlook on life in general.
Anyone considering training but have always felt uncomfortable in a gym or even talking about fitness in general, I can not recommend Paul enough. He motivated and pushed me but I always felt supported and respected.
Will Lewis
Since I started training with Paul, the results have been fantastic. I'm stronger, fitter, more mobile and I've lost 11% body fat - from 16% to 5%.
As well as the physical aspect of training with Paul, I've become a lot healthier in my overall lifestyle. I walk 10,000 steps a day, my diet has improved significantly and I'm productive in my professional life.
I would definitely recommend Paul. If you want to achieve your goals, Paul's training, nutrition and overall consulting will help you get there.
Paul listens to what you want to achieve and he puts a plan in place that will see you achieve them if you put in the work.
As well as his expertise when it comes to training and nutrition, Paul keeps in touch with you throughout the week so that progress can be monitored and he can help you stay on-track and motivated.
It sounds like a bit of a cliche, but Paul is a game-changer. He's incredibly smart, experienced and he's the most 'complete' trainer I've ever had.
He provides you with all the knowledge and support you need to achieve your goals and if you put the work in, your health and fitness will almost certainly improve.
I couldn't recommend Paul's services more - my only regret is that I didn't start training with Paul sooner!
Oisin Farrell
Paul’s approach has enabled me to set stretching goals, broken down into short term milestones. Targets included, goal weight, goal BF%, nutrition compliance, training compliance etc. I have a long term goal in sight but the short term targets keep my motivation levels up on a week to week basis.
Paul’s training plans take into consideration the time and facilities that are available to me while training alone.
Nutrition plans are also suited to my preferences and with Paul’s new cookbooks there is even more options and variety when it comes to the nutrition. Paul also recognises that there needs to be regular changes in the nutrition plan where additional calories may be added for a set period. This makes the overall plan sustainable long term and not just a quick fix solution.
As a follow up to the training and nutrition plans he also checks in with me on a daily basis to see if I am having any issues with either. Paul’s proactive approach and interest in my progress further drives my commitment and determination to hitting my goals.
Paul’s methods have changed how I approach training, nutrition and this enables me to incorporate the plans into my busy work schedule.
I look forward to continuing the progress already made with Paul over the coming months and years.
Neal Pansuria
Paul has been instrumental to shape up my physical and mental transformation.
My main focus was predominantly cardio based training but since I’ve started training with Paul he has developed a structured training and nutrition plan to help me to achieve my goals.
He has provided continuous support with ongoing nutrition advice through daily follow ups(even when he was overseas he texted me regularly to check my food and activity diary).
I have never felt so much better and energetic. I cannot thank enough to Paul for amazing transformation.
Mike Hogg
Paul isn’t your typical power-hungry drill Sargent of a PT. His depth of knowledge in exercise and nutrition is second to none. Growing up in sports meant I was quite confident I had it all “worked out”. Since working with Paul, I have realised there are many misconceptions around diet and exercise which are not often shared or communicated well within the industry.
Paul’s job is truly his passion and his love for what he does is contagious. We speak most days when he checks in or when I reach out with a quick question on technique or when I’m buying groceries. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone of any age or fitness level as he will find a way to get the best of you without you hating him for it!
Adam Davey
I’m starting to like the look of the guy I see in the mirror again, and with the fact I feel better, well my self esteem is slowing reappearing. I’m not going to trivialize the fact I’ve put in the hard yards but I am extremely grateful and indebted to Paul. I’ve also noticed, as you progress, your goals shift. It’s exciting and I can’t wait to see what I can achieve now, in and out of the gym.
Howard Kennedy
I started training with Paul seven months ago having been recommended PhysiqueWise by my son Ben.
At 67, unfit, overweight, diabetic and COVID-19 delaying plans for retirement travel and bucket list adventures.... I needed help to change the direction I was heading.
Paul guided me through an exercise program supported by nutritional advice and most importantly his positive encouragement to improve my wellbeing.
It’s been seven months now with two gym personal training sessions a week, at home exercises and advices on diet and mental health.
Improved balance, strength and a 16.6kg weight loss have resulted. General wellbeing and confidence in achieving goals are foremost in my thinking.
I thoroughly recommend Paul as a man who can professionally and positively help you achieve outcomes. I feel fantastic..... bring on those retirement adventures!!
Thanks so much Paul.
Kieran Roche
Paul’s plan was for me to record everything I ate and
update him on a daily basis which I have done consistently since mid
September - my bodyweight has dropped from 119kg to 107kg in that
time.
I haven’t been eating a severe calorie deficit for the whole
time either; we have been working with planned periods of dieting
interspersed with breaks that help keep me sane. Paul has helped me
understand how to make the right choices when it comes to food and how
to select high volume foods that fill you up when eating in a calorie
deficit - you don’t feel deprived at all when you are getting close to
300gm of protein a day from whole food sources.
I particularly like how simple Paul’s advice is, and he can show you how you can implement it to fit your own lifestyle. I am extremely happy with the results we
have achieved so far, Paul is a great accountability partner and is
consistent with his check ins to see how I am going.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Paul to anyone trying to achieve any
training/nutrition goals - he walks the talk and is in great shape
year round himself. His approach to training and nutrition is
sustainable and the way he treats his clients is what makes someone
like me loyal to the Physique Wise brand.
Darren Jackson
Listening to the advise and guidance of Paul he has taken me to the next level with my training, and I now look and feel better than I ever have before. He has taken the complications of training and diet planning away, saving me valuable time in my busy life. He listens to my goals and needs, and adapts the programs to fit around these.
I would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking to get the results they want.
Peter Allan
Paul is hands down the best, most competent trainer I've had. The results I have had in the six months that I have trained with Paul have been amazing - I am much leaner, stronger and feel more confident. Paul really knows his stuff exercise and nutrition-wise, obviously, but also in terms of coaching techniques. He equips me with all the tools I need to achieve my goals, including good form and solid workouts that are regularly updated.
I've been to a few group classes and seen a few trainers before and they usually focus on the one hour that you train together once a week and that's it. With Paul it's the opposite - the session we have together each week is part of a plan and I know exactly what to do when I'm training solo. The level of proactive follow up that he does is really amazing, it really helps to stay consistent, motivated and focused. Not to mention he's a super nice down-to-earth guy!
James Manning
I started training with Paul because I was confused. I’d been trying to get fitter and leaner but without any real plan and running myself into the ground in the process.
Working with an online PT wasn’t something I’d really considered before but I’d seen Paul’s social media and I was soon blown away by the results first hand. Immediately Paul added discipline and structure to my training. My body shape and muscle strength is now the best it’s been in 15 years.
Paul’s staged but constantly challenging approach and willingness to explain his reasoning mean that improvements aren’t just limited to the gym but translate into lifestyle choices too. I couldn’t recommend Paul enough.
Mike Steele (1)
I have been training with Paul for almost one year now. More recently I signed up to compete in the 2017 Noosa Triathlon.
Teaming up with Paul to prepare for this triathlon was a no brainer. In my opinion a good coach should have all of the qualities as a good teacher. This is what separates Paul from other personal trainers. Paul clearly understands the strengths & weaknesses of his clients and can effectively communicate how to build on the strengths and address the weaknesses.
I know Paul does not just rely on his experience to date and is always proactively developing himself further so he can continue teaching his clients the latest in strength training and nutrition.
Thanks coach Paul for helping me get strong and 110% ready for my Triathlon!!!
Mike Steele (2)
What made the this challenge simpler in my head was that I was desperate for a prolonged period of discipline and a healthier life style.
Never underestimate the power of planning. I travel a lot for work and sometimes plans change. Documenting my meal plan according to my location and having a contingency plan held me accountable to always make the right choices.
Diet has given me 90% of my results for sure. Not banishing wine helped as I treated myself to a glass or three over each weekend.
I found the biggest challenge was when I got the dreaded man flu. That knocked me about and pretty much derailed everything except my diet. That kept my results where they should be and it wasn’t long until my strength was back and training back up to speed.
I found this all about accountability and sending Paul pics of each meal certainly took this to a new level. Paul was genuinely interested in seeing me be the best version of myself and was always on hand to provide advice and keep things fresh in the gym.
My strength has dramatically improved as my weight has gone down which is an exciting result in addition to the visible loss of weight.
Roxanne Oldham
I would call Paul a life and game changer. When I started training with Paul, I was a broken women. I hadn't trained properly for 2months due to injury and I was very deflated.
I know what I am capable of but I needed that coach who was going to bring me back to basics, be precise in teaching me the technique and get me on injury free road and feeling strong again.
In regards to training programs, Paul has hit every nail on the head with program design. It's kept me interested, made me challenge myself and most importantly injury free and structurally strong again. Paul is a master at what he does and so humble at the same time.
I’ve learnt so much from him and he's always there 24/7 to support.
Bring on next year Paul, where a long dream of mine is to get on stage. Well that will finally come true. I will be ready and that's because of with your motivation, guidance and wealth of knowledge!
I can't thank you enough Paul!
I know this will be hard for you to take this feedback but you honestly have been awesome!!
Best investment I have made to feeling human again
Laura Farrell
I have been coached by Paul for a few years now and this year has been my most significant in terms of what I have accomplished with his guidance. I have had quite a journey from when I first took up strength training in 2015, learning various methods from coaches through goals in bodybuilding and powerlifting.
This year I have made time to reflect on everything I have learned from Paul and my previous coaches to date and had an aha moment after a gradual weight gain and falling out of shape over a series of months post my wedding in 2019. It was the first time I had ever experienced any significant weight gain. It was caused by inconsistency with nutrition over this time and making frequent sub optimal choices. For me it comes down to nutrition and I never found a truly happy place with this since I began.
This year we set a goal for me to find this by tracking my set macros in my fitness pal and eating whatever I enjoy and factoring in any alcohol consumed while ensuring it hit my targets consistently. Sounds pretty simple right? Prior to this new approach I would give up alcohol or cut out certain foods when dieting down and once I reintroduced them I would regress.
I managed to lose 8kg over 5 months by training 4 days a week, regular walks and being really consistent with my nutrition while including many social events, holidays, drinks and any food I wished to enjoy. I don’t punish myself after a weekend of extra indulgences by trying to burn extra calories etc, I just return back to normal the next day and still progress as planned. It’s felt like a rollercoaster at times with a few challenges along the way and I am so grateful to Paul for his patience, sensitivity and for keeping me grounded when any doubts start to creep in. I have made great improvements in different aspects of my training but the main accomplishment is what I have learned with my nutrition. I am very confident in self managing this and have finally found a sustainable approach that makes me happy.
I continue to work with Paul as he gives me the space to learn and grow while supportively challenging me when needed. Paul considers my individual lifestyle and supports me to achieve me goals around this rather than expecting me to stop what I enjoy. Such a lovely, genuine person and so glad he’s my coach!
Sarah Weiss
When I was considering who to ask to help me get into the best shape I possibly could for my wedding, there was absolutely no doubt in my mind that I’d ask Paul to help me. Having watched my fiancé transform his physique before my own eyes from a man who never hit the gym to someone who is in fantastic shape I already had proof that Paul knew what he was doing.
So, I rocked up on day 1- having spent 2 years doing bootcamp (which I loved for its community aspect) with excellent cardio fitness but not much in the way of strength. I’d also been eating at minimum calories for such a long time that the word “carbs” (apart from a glass of bubbles of course) didn’t feature in my vocabulary. Cue Paul: he told me to stop the cardio, do less exercise and eat more. Well, that had me freaking out and questioning his credentials pretty quickly.
What followed was 5 months of gruelling workouts and excellent nutritional advice including a weekly check in with Paul to make sure the plan suited me and my needs. Paul made sure to check in with me at every step, always managed to tailor the workouts so they felt just that bit more challenging than the last plan and to explain to me exactly why I was eating what I was eating. It’s hard to capture just how much I appreciated his steady support, good hearted banter during workout sessions and confidence that yes, I could indeed lift more than the last session ;). I would recommend Paul to anyone looking to put in the work, understand the fitness lifestyle and what it really takes to get to the next level. At the end of the day, I feel stronger than I ever have before, healthier (thanks to his insistence on more carbs - not in the form of bubbles- and calories in general) and more “defined” than I ever have before. Had you told me 5 years ago that deadlifting 50kg was possible - I’d say no way! Thanks Paul, your commitment to your work, your passion for what you do and your friendly and good hearted nature has made what could have been a really tough 5 months fly by! I do think my future husband will be glad of not having to eat tuna and mushrooms for dinner for a while though....
P.s I still hate lunges
Rachel Wolochatiuk
I can easily say that Paul changed my entire life. Paul taught me how to eat smart in social settings, and gave me the tools to even roughly maintain my body fat percentage on vacation. The greatest lesson I have learned so far is that eating healthy doesn’t have to suck, you don’t have to starve yourself to lose fat, and EVERYTHING IN MODERATION.
Belinda Callinan
Following knee surgery I asked my physiotherapist if he could recommend a PT to support my rehab, and importantly help me return to pre-injury fitness and body composition. He connected me with Paul and I could not be more grateful - the training and nutrition programs designed by Paul has literally been life changing. When I first started training with Paul my knee mobility was so restricted I could not perform a lunge, squat, or stand up from the floor unsupported. Paul designed a structured program to rebuild strength and mobility in the knee, resulting in progressive and significant improvement, eventually enabling me to return to full weight bearing exercise.
Following this, the focus turned to losing the weight that had piled on during my injury. Paul tailored a combination of strength and nutrition programs specific to my goals, continually tweaking and adjusting at certain times to maximise results. Over a period of 6 months I lost 15 kilos and dropped from a size 12 to a size 8.
Paul’s relentless dedication, genuine interest, care, and breadth and currency of knowledge is second to none. I can’t thank him enough for helping me with my pre-wedding shred, restoring my self confidence and for the effort he puts in outside of the PT sessions. I couldn’t think of anyone I would more highly recommend as a coach.
“As I was approaching the dreaded big 4.0. I figured it was time to do something about my physical health. I came to Paul with the request to get me in better shape for my 40’s than anytime in my life. With only 8 weeks until my birthday Paul put together a great program making me work muscles I had no idea existed and yet it didn’t feel like I was lifting much weight in the beginning. We did regular pinch tests and took photos every two weeks. After the first two week i had dropped over 2kgs and was already changing shape. I couldn’t believe it. I had no idea the body could react so quickly to the right stimulus. After 8 weeks I had lost over 30% of my body fat going from over 24% to 16% and had gained muscle definition like never before.
I can’t believe it took me to 40 to get in the shape I deserved when I was in my 20’s.
I can’t recommend Paul enough. He is patient and knowledgeable with well thought out and researched answers to all my questions. He has made me enjoy the gym for the first time and I look forward to training with him long term”
“Paul is hands down the best, most competent trainer I’ve had. The results I have had in the six months that I have trained with Paul have been amazing - I am much leaner, stronger and feel more confident. Paul really knows his stuff exercise and nutrition-wise, obviously, but also in terms of coaching techniques.

The level of proactive follow up that he does is really amazing, it really helps to stay consistent, motivated and focused. Not to mention he’s a super nice down-to-earth guy! ”
“Before training with Paul, I was approaching exercise and diet with no direction or knowledge about what I was actually supposed to do, and consequently, was not making any progress. I had the goal of losing fat and improving my upper body strength, and I can confidently say that after a short few months of Paul’s coaching I have already started to achieve these goals, and also improved my diet, mental health, and overall lifestyle.
The thing that makes Paul a great coach is his genuine interest in his clients’ health and wellbeing. He takes the time to really understand your fitness goals and creates a fitness/nutrition plan that can easily be implemented into your daily routine. And if you stick to it, you will see the results of your hard work. He also has a wealth of knowledge about all things strength, fitness and nutrition, and takes the time to summarise this information into easy to digest articles/social media posts.
Above all else, Paul is a genuinely friendly and positive person, and I’m always left feeling happy and energised after a training session. I would definitely recommend him to anyone at any stage of their fitness journey.”
“Before I began training with Paul, the thought of going to the gym absolutely filled me with dread... After a few sessions with Paul I was extremely motivated, and looked forward to going to the gym... His good humoured approach, the time he took to listen, understand, think about and develop my program meant that I really enjoyed the sessions and the results that followed.”
“Paul has helped me so much over the past 18 months helping me get leaner and healthier in an extremely demanding and stressful year, Adapting my training and nutrition to my situation whether being over worked or on the road or on holiday. Its not just a diet or training plan Paul goes through it all and explains to you why. Paul’s ability to know when to push me and when to pull back and heal my body. His attention to all details of my life and teaching me to understand my body is outstanding. That along with being a top bloke I couldn’t recommend him enough.”
“The results have been excellent. I have seen a real step change in my fitness regime through working with Paul, breaking out of entrenched practices - and a real change in my physique.
”
“Paul’s training methods are very precise with a strict focus on form and tempo. This means you get a lot out of personal training because very few people including other trainers have this level of knowledge and discipline. On top of this Paul is always extremely cheerful and fun to be with and training was always something to look forward to.”
“Paul Stevenson is an exemplary personal fitness trainer, individually tailoring your training to your specific abilities and ambitions, and pushing you (within reason) to exceed both! I never thought that the gym was for me, as I have always been rather overweight; but Paul made me feel supported instead of judged. His warmth and sincerity are utterly sincere”
“Paul is more than a trainer, he is an outstanding fitness instructor, a life coach and a nutrionalist all in one. His breadth of expertise is outstanding and his passion and enthusiasm for your well being exceeds expectations.
Paul has quite literally transformed me; and still continues to be a significant influence on both my physical fitness and my lifestyle choices.
Paul is knowledgeable, patient and continually enhances and modifies the programme whilst developing my own sense of self and self-discipline to maintain and improve.”
“I started training with Paul not because I needed motivation to get to the gym but because I wanted to raise my training to a new level, and he has really delivered.
The workouts Paul sets for me consistently challenge me and deliver continual progress, and in my mid-40s I find myself in the best shape of my life.
I can’t speak highly enough of Paul’s expertise, support and professionalism. I have enjoyed every session I’ve had with him and I would recommend him to anyone looking to ensure that they get the maximum benefit from the time they spend in the gym”
“In terms of “results” Paul’s commitment to his own self development and his chosen career has shone through. I have always been what one would call skinny with hardly any muscle definition, however training with Paul has seen my body shape, strength and muscularity radically change. I am now proud to say that I actually have biceps, pectoral definition and can lift and squat weights I simply cannot believe.
I have no hesitation at all in recommending Paul to anyone and everyone, he is truly inspirational, achieves results and just as important in a Personal Trainer he is a proper lovely bloke. ”
“Paul was my PT for three months and I couldn’t have asked for more from him. Paul was very thorough throughout the whole 3 months of my time with him. At the start, he sat me down and listened to what I wanted to achieve both physically and mentally. My goal was to feel more confident in myself, tone up and lose body fat. He made a eating and workout program for me that I loved and he checked in every week to make sure I was happy with it and offered to alter it to suit my lifestyle better (keeping it aligned with my goals). Paul brings to PT something I haven’t seen before and that’s an all round health check on your outer body, inner health and what goes on between the ears which I loved. Paul makes the experience very personal and you feel as if you are his only client because he is so interested in how you are getting on. I loved having my PT sessions with Paul because I always walked away feeling so much better about myself. I can’t thank Paul enough for all his hard work and attention to detail that he put into my workouts. I have walked away feeling the most confident I have ever felt about my body - which means so much to me. I have also walked away feeling like I have learnt a lot about how to eat properly, my posture, the correct positioning for exercises like deadlifts, squats etc. I would recommend Paul to anyone looking to see results, to work with a very genuine person and a trustworthy PT. I will 100% be training with him again in the future. A huge thank you to Paul for your time and commitment. ”
“I don’t have much experience with trainers, and what little exposure I do have has been awful. So, when I saw Paul for the first time, naturally I was sceptical. However, I was BLOWN AWAY by his wealth of knowledge spanning anatomy, nutrition, and just fitness in general. He diagnosed my tight ankles within seconds and targeted my fitness program to build all the muscles I have unintentionally neglected all my life. Do yourself the biggest favour of your life: book an hour with Paul. It actually will change your life.”
