I have been training with Paul for over 7 years at several of his prior gyms where he rented space. He recently opened his own gym - Eastlake Performance. The space is perfect for the one on one training that we do together. With me, the focus is on functional fitness so I can get more out of my active lifestyle (hiking, snowboarding, mountain biking). I used to just lift heavy weights all the time and while I felt strong, I was always injured (even with other trainers!). With Paul, it's just the opposite, he keeps me in my best shape so I can avoid injury. Speaking of which, Paul helped me lose 30 pounds and keep it off more than 5 years now. Paul has helped me reach nutritional goals, weight loss goals, and strength goals, all while being supportive and encouraging. He is the most creative trainer I have worked with - he finds ways to keep your body guessing - like doing the same exercise, but with resistance bands, or by using balance balls/pads, or doing many exercises with one side at a time, keeping your core fully engaged. The new gym on Eastlake is convenient - there are a couple free parking spots, a nice shower/changing room, and he caps the number of trainers at any given time. I've also attended some group training classes with Paul and found that to be a great complement to the individual attention I get during the single sessions. As a long-time happy, healthy client, I highly recommend Paul and Eastlake Performance, now at their brand new location.
