Success Stories - Elite Physique Fitness

"I first became interested in attending Bootcamp when I heard about it from a colleague and I realised then it wasn't something just for celebrities! I had recently had a baby and was about to return to work, clothes did not fit, joints were aching (from constantly lifting a baby), I felt sluggish and didn't seem to be losing the baby weight as quick as the other mums. Logging onto the site was the first step and from there I haven't looked back since. I am now a stone lighter in six weeks, I have dropped a dress size and can definitely fit into the clothes I had before pregnancy. I don't feel sluggish and am able to race round after a crawling baby. Two months on and I have maintained the weight loss and continue to get results!"

"After trying various gyms to little effect and commitment I decided I needed to take action with my wedding day fast approaching. From my first meeting with Paul he made me feel at ease as we discussed my goals and targets. The training sessions are both challenging and varied and I feel a real sense of achievement after each one. Having someone to motivate me on a one to one basis really helps and there is always a chance for a few laughs! I'm already seeing results in my fitness levels and I'm starting to tone up in areas where I had previously struggled. With Paul's help hopefully I will be feeling my best on my wedding day!"

"After putting on weight recently i got in touch with Paul who devised a great exercise and diet plan. The exercises were varied and never boring and the eating plan easy to follow. 6 weeks on i've dropped a dress size, look and feel more toned but much more importantly i have got back my self confidence. I couldn't have done it without Paul's encouragement and expert guidance, I can't recommend him enough."

"After getting bored with the gym and lacking motivation to train myself I needed something new and fun to inspire me again to get fit and bootcamp was that! Having completed both indoor and outdoor bootcamps it can be said they are never boring. With short exercises that give an all over workout the time flies by and you have finished before some people are out of bed! I feel much fitter and toned all over and I have seen my progression over the weeks. I would recommend Kick Start bootcamp to anyone and all fitness levels!"

"A friend at work was looking in really good shape and had this sort of glow about her; when I asked her about this she told me she was doing Boot Camp. I listened aghast! But when faced with the prospect of a summer beach holiday in 2 months (I had been planning to get in shape since January 1st..!) and my clothes not fitting anymore, I thought Boot Camp would be cheaper than buying a whole new wardrobe and get me beach body fit. I went home and told my boyfriend who decided he’d do it too, we could encourage each other. My first session was tough but it only served to show me how unfit I was and that Boot Camp was the way forward. Now, at the end of my 2nd month and about to go on holiday, I feel so much better, my original clothes are now baggy and I can do much more in the Boot Camp sessions than I could at the beginning. No 2 sessions are ever the same and Paul is really motivational. I’ve really enjoyed the exercise and everyone is really supportive of each other. I’m really surprised at how much more energy I have all day along with a sense of achievement of what I have accomplished in the sessions. Thinking of doing it? DO IT!"

"I attended one 2 one Personal training sessions with Paul and chose the kick start package.My main aim was to lose weight around my chest and stomach. Within 4 weeks, I acheived these aims with the help of my Personal Trainer, Paul. My chest measurement has reduced 2cm and I’ve also toned my chest as well. I also lost 5cm around my waist and lost 10% of my overall body fat in only 4 weeks! Each and every session was a different experience, never the same! Worth every penny!!"

Karl Harrison   

"I came to elite fitness at the time leading up to my wedding. The 2 years after finishing university I had let myself go - a lack of exercise and average diet to blame. After an initial induction to determine my goals I had two sessions of training to determine my current level of fitness. After that the real work started. The twice a week workouts were diverse to ensure all large muscle groups were targeted and kept the training sessions both challenging and exciting.Overall, I lost 10 lbs and over 10% of my overall body fat! All in all I looked better than my uni days for my wedding!"

"After receiving some medical advice that I need to loose weight and lower my blood pressure I contacted Paul via his website to see if he could help me. After our initial meeting Paul created a personal exercise and eating plan and with our regular personal fitness sessions he has helped me to loose a lot of weight, lower my blood pressure considerably and helped me choose a life style where I feel and look healthy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Paul as I wouldn't of reached my goals without him."

"I've completed 2 Bootcamp and thoroughly enjoyed it. My body quickly toned up and you can see and feel the results - Bingo wings are history and underneath my tummy was a six pack trying to get out!. The people are a mixed bunch, different levels of fitness and ages, but really supportive of each other, and the sessions are fun not torture! I am going back this month to tone up for holidays and am looking forward to seeing friends again."

Barbara Franklin   Gosforth

"Paul has been my personal trainer for six months. I have progressed from almost zero fitness and a total lack of tone and strength to a fit, more toned, stronger (physically and mentally), healthier and more balanced individual. The results I have achieved to date are largely due to Paul's perfect combination of diverse training methods, individualized exercise programs & challenging yet achievable goal setting. His professionalism, extensive knowledge and enthusiastic commitment to his business and ultimately his clients, provides the perfect scenario for success and sets foundations for a new healthier lifestyle!"

"I am really not the keep fit type. However, i have completed a number of bootcamp sessions, and I have really noticed the benefits. I am now two dress sizes smaller, have more energy and more enthusiasm than ever before. All the sessions are well designed, differentiated, and really enjoyable. Not only have met some really nice people, I can do exercises that I really couldn't think of doing before. Teamed with individual eating plans, it is worth it. Exercising has never been as fun!"

Miranda Shaw   Gosforth

"I'm terrible when it comes to sticking with an exercise routine! I usually decide I want to lose weight and get fit, join a gym, go for a couple of weeks and then end up never going but paying for it for months until I finally give up and cancel my membership. Elite Physique Fitness bootcamp totally changed my perspective on fitness. I found the inner exercise junky inside (which believe me was hidden very deep!). I loved every session, Paul is really good at what he does and it shows in how much you get out of each session. By the time i had finished my first month i was already looking forward to doing another month, it's really addictive. Paul’s boot camps are for anyone and everyone including the people who hate exercise just like me. Paul will have you loving exercise before you know it."

Amy Rose   Tynemouth

"The most startling number is the weight loss - I was 19 st 4 and now am 17 st 4. Jeans that I bought 2 years with the intention of getting into by losing weight are now being worn...and they are baggy on me! The biggest difference is the shape of my face - I have looked back and seen pictures where I looked bloated and overweight. Now I am much lighter and I am continuing to lose weight. There is a real difference is my energy levels - I can do more without feeling tired, can run a three mile circuit without stopping and feel much healthier. Has it changed my life? Yes. It's a change that I couldn't have made on my own. If you're worried that Paul might be too harsh, then don't. He can tell when you're tired but that doesn't mean he won't push you!"

Jonathan Morrell   Real radio DJ

"I have just completed one of Elite Physique's bootcamps and would recommend it to anyone. I do not consider myself to be particularly fit at all and was quite apprehensive before starting. I needn't have worried; there were people of all fitness levels there, the group was supportive and fun and there was no military-style shouting. In 4 weeks I have noticed a big difference in my fitness level . I've lost 7 pounds in weight & 8 cms from my waist, my clothes fit better, I'm sleeping better and I am more motivated to exercise."

''I worked with Paul for 12 personal training sessions over a 7 week period leading up to my summer holiday. During my initial consultation, Paul provided sound nutritional advice and guidelines as well as helping me set tangible objectives for my training. My goals were to lose weight, improve body shape and energy levels whilst learning how to exercise more effectively. Every session was tailored for me; well planned and executed by Paul ensuring I was able to make rapid progress. Paul displayed expert knowledge of each individual exercise, provided quality equipment and always demonstrated simply and patiently. His overall encouragement and motivational support was infectious and welcomed! I was delighted with my 'final stats' - 3 inches off my waist, 2 off my hips whilst upper arms increased by 2 inches. I lost 11lbs in weight and reduced overall body fat by 4%. Personal training worked extremely well for me but I truly believe my choice of Paul, from Elite Physique Fitness, as trainer was vital to my success - I highly recommend Paul and Elite Physique Fitness to anyone!''

David Ridout   Senior Director (Convergys Corporation)

"I lead a very busy life, with little spare time and as such decided that I needed some extra motivation to get myself in shape. I came across Paul on the internet and right from the beginning he was very professional. It was quick and easy to get started. Paul and his training techniques have worked brilliantly for me. He varies his motivation techniques depending on my mood and the situation - given my hectic and varied lifestyle that is important. I do a couple of hours a week with Paul and my fitness levels have increased quickly. It's hard work but incredibly rewarding. I'm getting in good shape and all I need to do is put the effort in, Paul handles the rest. He turns up on time, with all the equipment and his catching enthusiasm and he makes sure that I get the most out of each session and that he gets the most out of me. He's a must for anyone who wants to get in shape and needs a little extra motivation."

Andy Scaife    Managing Director (Quantum Pharmaceutical Limited)

"Middle age spread started to catch up with me and my daughter encouraged me to try one of Paul’s bootcamps. I was pretty cynical although I knew I needed to do something to stop the rot! I have now completed 3 bootcamps and have noticed a big difference in shape, eating habits, fitness and stamina. I spend a lot of time "on the road" with my job but the frequency of the sessions has allowed me to take part in the sessions around work. It has been good fun to workout with others of all ages – each goes at their own pace and Paul quickly determines if he needs to give you a boot up the backside (me!) or encouragement to help you get the best out of the sessions. My clothes fit much better (in fact some are positively loose!) and I have noticed greatly improved flexibility. I can’t say that I have been a model pupil when it comes to the diet plan but it has changed my eating habits and it makes me think about what I eat and when. I have got used to it now and I definitely eat considerably less “rubbish” and empty calories. It has been great to workout in a group and the two venues provide an opportunity for varied sessions – it is never boring!"
