Paul was truly great he was nothing of what I expected out of a personal trainer he actually listened to me & gave me the tough talk to find out where I am and actually find out how I want to push forward in accomplishing my fitness goals.

FLA™|Weight Loss |Fatloss |Nutrition |Women Only's reply

Thank you Kelly, for your kind words! 😊 It means so much to hear that your experience was nothing like you expected—in the best way! I truly believe that listening and understanding where someone is at, both physically and mentally, is the foundation for real progress. 💪 The tough talk isn’t always easy, but it’s all about getting to the heart of your goals and figuring out how to push forward in a way that works for you. I’m so glad I could be part of your fitness journey and help set the stage for accomplishing those goals! 🚀

Paul is an amazing coach and trainer and very personable. He took the time to sit with me via a zoom call to really get to know me and show me where I am deficient in my lifestyle, training, and diet. SO far so good as we are moving forward as a team to work together to reach my goals. Other trainers I have talked to did not give me this kind of one on one treatment as Paul and his team are doing. I am looking forward to working with Paul and his team. Paul's style of personal training should be the standard for how a personal trainers business is conducted.

Health and fitness are very important to me. Especially my mother who died of a heart attack at age 60. That experience made me more aware of my own health. I was fed up with trying to manage everything myself and joining FLA, I knew exactly what I needed to do in theory. But I could only keep going for about two weeks before giving up. Because life happens! I really wanted responsibility and stability. Now, three months into my journey with FLA, the change in my mindset and body has been amazing! I went from eating everything in sight to enjoying a single slice of pizza or a small piece of cake—just because I chose to! I still face challenges. But it's important to be honest with myself and my coach. Truly one of the nicest people you will ever meet. That honesty helps us work as a team to uncover and overcome obstacles. As I near the end of the four month program The instructor did not pressure me to renew. There's no pressure at all! I have friends who hire personal trainers for the same price, but with FLA you get so much more. Including a holistic approach to health and exercise. I can safely say that I will be one of those people who wish I had started with them sooner!

Thank you so much for sharing your journey, Rowena! It’s incredible to hear how much progress you’ve made in both your mindset and habits, and we’re honored to have been a part of it. Keep up the amazing work Rowena—you’re an inspiration!
