Meet Your Trainer

Paul's background in Kinesiology and as a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) through CSEP (Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology) has given him an amazing understanding on how the human body works, moves, and adapts. Through his own training and experience he has learned how to push the body above and beyond its limits.
