You - Whether your goal is weight loss, general conditioning and overall wellness, increased strength, sports training, or improved dietary and nutritional knowledge and habits, we can help you. 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. And many of them stay with us for several years because of our friendly environment, the confidence they have in our trainers, and the results they see and feel and enjoy. We specialize in: • One-on-one personal training, • Sports performance training, • Corporate wellness programs, and • Nutritional coaching. The close - I'd be happy to answer any questions or meet, show you our studio, and help you reach your goals. Paul Daniels, PhD, CSCS

Hired on Thumbtack

I've worked with a few personal trainers over the years, but Paul is by far the most knowledgeable and effective than all the others. He was able to diagnose issues in my strength and movement and address them with targeted exercises that have improved my overall strength and stability. I feel fit, strong, and more lean. He knows what he's doing!

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 is a very knowledgable fitness and nutrition expert. He helped me fine-tune my nutrition as a 53-year-old woman who wanted to gain more energy. He is supportive of helping me determine my goals and helping me reach them. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a personal trainer, or for help with your nutrition!

Paul has been very professional and responsive to my personal situation and needs. His educational and professional background make him, I feel, unique and quite adept at working with, and understanding, how to work within and around my limitations while making sure he's meeting my specific needs and getting a good workout every time. (Sorry if that is wordy, but I don't usually leave reviews and I want to be honest while specific. I hope this helps you in your decision.)

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!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is based on private or group sessions, in-studio or in-home. For those who prefer one-on-one attention my pricing is very competitive for my credentials and years of experience, but I also employ other trainers with both degrees and certification.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to get to know my clients on a personal level. It makes for a better experience and a comfortable environment. I assess each client as I train them and look for areas that need to be improved upon. Then we work together to achieve their goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a PhD in Exercise Physiology from the University of Utah. I have worked in this field for over 30 years and have extensive experience with medical conditions and working with high level athletes.
