Simplified, for most people,​ their overall goal is to get more out of life each day. And that’s what we do - we help you get more out of your life; we help you to more fully experience your life. You’re all different - Each of our clients is different and you each deserve a fitness program that is customized to your abilities, needs, and goals.

A little about me - I hold a PhD in Exercise Physiology and have been in this field for more than 30 years and have been a personal trainer for more than 20 of those years. With past experience in law enforcement, I serve as a consultant to many police departments and fire agencies in and around Utah. My trainers - Each has a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in a health-related field, years of training experience, and certification through an accredited personal training organization. We’re likable - At least that what most of our clients say.

We specialize in: • One-on-one personal training, • Sports performance training, • Corporate wellness programs, and • Nutritional coaching.

I was very apprehensive about meeting a trainer and starting a training program. Paul, through messages on Thumbtack, was very reassuring. I showed up to our appointed time. And was amazed. His gentle yet effective approach to fitness and health is refreshing. I can't wait to start a regular regime working with him. I highly recommend at least contacting him to hear what he has to say!

Paul is excellent; very knowledgeable, easy to be around, and does well rounded work outs. It's a little out of my way to drive but absolutely worth it. The gym is clean and has great equipment. I would recommend Paul and his gym to anyone; I will be a permanent customer.

I suffer from a spinal condition that prohibits me from normal work outs. Paul is one of the most educated and concerned trainers I have ever been to. He has been very diligent in listening to every concern I have and is tailoring my work out to be more like physical therapy. He is also a genuinely nice person. So that makes the sessions pleasant as well as helpful. I look forward to working out more and getting the best I can out this body for as long as I can.

Paul has been training me for 5 months now. Without any exercise routine in my background, I have had a real aversion to starting one. But wanting more stamina and strength, I sought out a personal trainer on Thumbtack. Per my request, Paul has eased me into a weight-training program that continues to build my physique. He set up an individualized plan that tailors the workout to my targeted goals. Workouts are well balanced on different muscle groups and Paul’s approach is a good combination of encouragement and drive. I’ve never felt overwhelmed or I would have quit. Paul is punctual for appointments and consistent in his demeanor and his training methods. Because of his Ph. D in the subject areas, he has the educational knowledge to answer and advise on questions of nutrition and exercise. I’ve gained inches in targeted areas when I didn’t think it was possible, which leads me to believe I can achieve even more. Glad to have found Paul and the UFI team. Aside: After seeing my results my spouse started training with Paul is equally pleased as well.

Paul really pushes me to do my best but makes sure I am in good form so as not to hurt myself. I have not exercised for several years and was anxious about starting back. He makes the “torture” fun! I have had a sore shoulder for 2 years that became weak and now it feels back to normal. I’ve been to various Physical therapist s and had nom results.
