Paul Collins has set up a place in Bude, North Cornwall, called Paul Collins Fitness, aimed at anyone wanting to get moving better, feel mentally stronger, and hit their fitness goals. The centre offers all sorts, from personal training to biomechanics, Qi Gong, and even mental health exercise and coaching.
Here's why Paul Collins Fitness is worth a look:
Paul started his fitness business back in 2014, right in Bude. Over the years, he's immersed himself in training and expertise, crafting bespoke fitness programmes suited to each person’s needs. He's got the know-how to work with folks dealing with all kinds of health concerns, like diabetes, obesity, degenerative conditions, and even pre/post-natal and lower back pain.
As an Exercise Referral Specialist, Paul often teams up with health pros to make sure every programme is as safe as it is effective. Before diving into any fitness plan, each person gets a thorough once-over, with personalised tips to match their goals and needs. Paul also offers supportive programmes for goal-setting and weight management, complete with healthy recipes to keep you on track.
The centre is easy to find, nestled between Stratton and Red Post, just off the A3072. It's kitted out with all sorts of gear – free weights, kettlebells, TRX, rowing machines, SkiErg, static bikes, and resistance bands. Paul’s sessions are all about making fitness fun while getting the results you want.
