Paul graduated from the University of Manitoba with a Bachelor of Kinesiology in 2012. Paul continued his education by getting his Canadian Society for Exercise Physiologist’s Certified Exercise Physiologist designation (CSEP-CEP) in 2013. In addition, he also completed his Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist certification from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA-CSCS) in 2014. However, always eager to learn and provide his clients with the best service, Paul continues to expand his knowledge and stay up to date with current research through continuing education and post-graduate certifications.
A believer in mentorship and continuing education, Paul has made it a priority to mentor students, young professionals and colleagues within the field of health and fitness. As an advisory board member of the Manitoba National Strength and Conditioning Association, he also helps develop and implement continuing education courses for all strength trainers in Manitoba.
A true outdoorsman and adrenaline junkie, Paul enjoys getting away from the busy “city life” by spending time hunting and fishing in the backcountry, snowmobiling and alpine skiing in the winter months, and breathing the fresh air while running. Having been an athlete in competitive hockey, this has given Paul a personal understanding of the importance of sport-specific training and the physiological and physical demand of sport.
A strong believer that exercise is medicine, Paul takes a multidisciplinary approach to training by working closely with allied health professionals such as a physiotherapist, physicians, massage therapists, and registered dietitians.
His mission is to help others achieve their goals and educate them about the benefits of exercise and lifestyle changes. Be warned; Paul is a stickler for proper form but he is also patient and persistent with his clients. He is also known to be very competitive and will never shy away from a gym challenge!
