Structured Athletics | Nutrition Coaching & Program Design

I've been working with Paulak on a weekly basis for about six months now and I've seen improvements in terms of strength and mobility. Paulak is very personable and takes his time to address any questions and issues I have at every session we have. He seems to be very knowledgable and always working on improving his knowledge and skillset. I am looking forward to continuing to work with him and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for strength and mobility training.

Started strength training with Paulak in my early teens for Ice Hockey. Not only have I improved on the ice, but the training has also improved my mobility and range of motion, allowing me to adapt to more situations and resist injury. Paulak is not only knowledgeable in strength training but also in complementary disciplines that assist in building and maintaining a health-conscious lifestyle: being able to provide tips and exercises for recovery, nutrition, and physical therapy. Moving out of town to pursue higher education, I still effectuate and sharpen skills taught by Paulak to prevent body injury during sports, maintain body weight, and most importantly keep a healthy lifestyle. Paulak's flexibility allows me to participate in training sessions during school breaks where I do not have a set schedule. His calm, respectful, and motivating attitude makes me feel welcome to contact him anytime about any concerns I might have about any health subject.

I started strength training with Paulak at a young age for Ice Hockey. With his training I was able to improve all aspects of my game whether it's being able to stride faster to having a stronger shot. With Paulak's training, I was able to learn how to be less susceptible to injuries and he helped me with my flexibility and range of motion. Paulak is very knowledgeable in strength training. Not only that he taught me how to maintain a healthy lifestyle with nutrition and recovery. His diet plan for me was the best I've used. I was able to recover much better and faster after intense hockey practices and games because of the program he told me to follow. Since I have moved to pursue my dream of playing hockey, I still think about what Paulak taught me. I am able to stay healthy and get stronger with all the techniques he taught me. While working with Paulak my schedule would always change but he was able to be flexible and be able to help my brother and I. Every session he would always how I was before and from then on have a variety of workout exercises for how I feel. He is always kind, respectful, and fun which made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. Whenever I have a problem and need advice for any workout or diet I would reach out to Paulak. He is an amazing coach, highly recommend.

I was recommended by my friend to Pauluk because of my lower back and hip muscle soreness. it turns out to be multiple causes. One being misaligned joints causing numbness on my lower leg which I have my chiropractor adjusted. I decided to continue with the manual therapy because it felt great afterward. Less tension on my legs and back. We are working on my shoulder muscles. He gives out homework to do on my own too. Small exercises that take maybe 5 mins a day to stretch at home. I always feel pretty at ease during the session and like how down to earth Paulak is.

I went to Paul for a therapy session since l've been having back pain from lifting etc. Not only that but he gave me some tips on any imbalance I was having and some exercises to help fix issues here and there. He's super chill and thorough, definitely worth it

I reached out to Paulak for help as I needed to get a jumpstart on my health and fitness again. I wanted to have a stronger core, better circulation and relieve the tightness in my back. I felt like I needed something different. I was hesitate as I've had personal trainers in the past at the gym. After speaking to Paulak he really listened to my goals and wanted to help me find a workout routine that would still challenge me as well as make it a part of my daily life so I can stick to it. My work is stressful and it takes a toll on my body, especially my upper back. He showed me all sorts of new stretches that helped open up my back. If I forgot how to do something, he would go through it again or there was a video I could refer back to as well. A day after our session he checks in to make sure I was feeling ok and answer any questions. During our sessions he pushed me when I needed it. I felt really comfortable and I know by following the exercises I can build a stronger core, feel and look healthier. Thank you for helping me find a daily workout that works for my lifestyle.

Achievement and Progress: Describe any specific fitness goals you set with Paulak and the progress you've made. What achievements are you most proud of since starting your training sessions?

Paulak is by far the best Personal Trainer and nutrition coaching I’ve worked with. Working with him, you can sense how passionate he is with his craft. He relieved pain in my shoulder and increased blood flow through out my entire body. My body felt 5 years younger! I felt safe and secure working with him. He’s easy to talk to and he gave me additional helpful information during my session. I’m glad I had the pleasure of working with him and I’m looking forward to more sessions in the suture

I had tight hips that needed stretching as well as knees with cartilage loss. I do taekwondo martial arts, so my hips and knees are always aching. Paulak was gentle with the stretches so that my joints weren’t further irritated and I got a deeper stretch than stretching on my own. Paulak is very knowledgeable about how the mechanics of the body work, how to prevent and fix pain, and is kind to his clients!

I tried out the stretch & massage session and it made my whole body really light! The pain on my shoulders and hamstrings got way better! Thank you 🙏🙏
