Paul
Connolly is an experienced and FFI qualified Health & Fitness Trainer
who believes that fitness provides for life long health – whenever you
choose to start. As a 40+ man, he understands the difficulties in turning to exercise
later in life - which is why he is known as the “man who
understands the woman who wasn’t born yesterday!”
Paul says: - “I’m delighted to be working with many clients who
sometimes need help in taking those first steps after such a long time
away from a fitness regime. I know that with just a little help,
encouragement and education, anyone at any age can make great
improvements. As a baby boomer myself I understand the need to talk to
people in their own language”.
Paul is passionate about heath and fitness for everyone. He has been
working with local health authorities, media and support groups to
increase awareness and encourage people to think about their lifestyles
and how they can make simple changes to their diet and levels of
activity in order to see real benefits. Paul also studies psychology and
motivational techniques as part of
his holistic approach to health and fitness. He enjoys working
with clients of all ages, and abilities, but in particular takes great
satisfaction getting people in to a shape and level of fitness that they
never thought possible.
Paul is
currently working on a number of projects in addition to his successful
personal training business - including a series of DVDs and online
training programmes aimed at those who feel uncomfortable with the gym,
or are simply unable to make regular visits.
Paul has
been motivated by health and fitness for as long as he can remember.
After a successful career as a schoolboy champion and ABA
amateur boxer, Paul was ready to go professional when a serious
accident ended his boxing career. Determined to recover from this
setback, Paul went on to study exercise and physiology and has developed
a successful career in this area. While accepting that everyone is
different, Paul believes it all comes down to making choices - finding
time for exercise can be fundamentally life changing. Paul balances his
busy work schedule with family life and is well aware we all feel there
are not enough hours in the day – however he believes that making time
for your health is vital to you and those around you.
