Utah Fitness Institute

"Paul is the worst, but he gets results!!! Just kidding, he is great! He’s easy to be around, pushes you, but is chill about it! I’ve lost 21 pounds and feel stronger than I have ever been! Danesh is awesome too! If you’re not sure about getting a personal trainer, but are curious, give Utah Fitness Institute a try! You won’t regret it!"

"The best. I’m never going back to a crowded chain gym again. UFI has the space and equipment I need, but most importantly, I have a trainer in Danesh who is in lock step with my post surgical recovery goals, pushes me, and treats me like the athlete I am. No soft corners, but constant encouragement and excitement about what we’re accomplishing."

"Paul is super knowledgeable. He has a PHD after all. He gave me incrementally more challenging workouts and helped me fix my back. I have ankle, knee, back, and wrist injuries. He helps me find alternative ways to hit muscle groups. He always has time to answer my questions about nutrition, health, and physiology. He keeps a library on hand in case he doesn’t know off the top of his head. He’s also pretty goofy at times and fun to be around."

"I've been training with Paul for just two months, and it's already been a life-changing experience! My goals were to rebuild my physical conditioning, plus lose substantial weight. So far, in just the first two months of training three hours/wk, I've been able to double the intensity of my workouts, and have already lost 17 lbs! That's beyond even my most optimistic expectations! Paul is highly knowledgeable in all aspects of not only the full range of professional training techniques, but also in human physiology (super important) and in all aspects of proper nutrition! In addition, Paul is very professional with great people skills, and during every workout stays focused on me and my progress with each routine. Plus, his UFI private gym is a top notch facility, with a highly personalized environment. I highly, highly recommend Paul and UFI to anyone looking for an exceptional personal training experience."

"I have been training with Paul for about two months now, and I’ve had a great experience working with him. He is very knowledgeable, and he designs effective, motivating, and (dare I say) fun workouts! While my progress has been slow and steady (that is what I want), I am seeing results—not only in how I look, but in my energy levels and overall wellness, as well as my flexibility and how I’m able to move. While Paul lets me go at my own pace, he is encouraging and makes sure to give me a workout that is going to push me but also doesn’t overdo it—he motivates me to keep coming back and working hard. He tailors his training to each client based on his or her needs, and I feel he’s designing safe and effective workouts every time I come for a session. I would highly recommend him, whatever your personal training needs may be."
