“I’ve been training with Paul for a number of years now and can’t speak highly enough about the quality of sessions he puts together for me. Paul adapted quickly when face to face training wasn’t an option during the various lockdowns we faced and kept me on my toes with engaging sessions delivered over face time. Since moving to his new gym, he has somehow managed to take things up to another level and I’m now getting first class training in a first-class environment. Whatever your level of fitness or goals Paul can help you achieve them”.
“I started going to see Paul at Glasgow Functional Fitness when I had a wedding dress to fit in to post lockdown. He works you really hard, but you get results. Good music and his positive attitude help you keep motivated, and the gym set up is perfect. I am now back to the sessions, this time to lose baby weight. I have felt really comfortable getting back into a gym setting and Paul has given me lots of good advice about getting my fitness back safely postpartum. The rooftop space is perfect for an outdoor workout when the sun is shining. Thanks for everything Glasgow Functional Fitness!”
“I’ve been going to Paul on and off for the last 8 years for sports therapy massages. I was in a REALLY bad way with two degenerative discs & a body in a lot of pain from overcompensation, I could barely walk at times………, this man is a magician! extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I would walk into my appointment like Egor and leave feeling like a new person that could run a race, he eased my symptoms so much on the run up to surgery. Recently I’ve been in pain around my neck & shoulders, again he knew exactly how to ease the tension and pain and has worked wonders! I’ve recommended him to so many friends over the years and they would all rate him 5 stars too. Thanks again Paul for all the advice, the relief from pain & for all the great chats we have during our sessions! If I could give ten stars I would”.
