Paul Meldrum

My story began as soon as I started playing sports as a kid.

As a child, I loved playing sports.

It really didn't matter what the sport was, if you could play it, I was in. I was a competitive kid as well, so I was always looking for ways to get better. This led to me getting an exercise built for me at age 8, so I could train my legs to help me get through more games. I loved the basketball of the 90's and watching all these massive players with incredible arms and shoulders led to me dribbling the ball for hours hoping my arms would like like theirs. The intent was good, yet the execution wasn't the best.

After high school ended, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I liked training and lifting weights, so I got a cert 3 and 4 in fitness (I figured it was at least going to be useful) but l didn't know where it would lead.

I HAD NO IDEA AT THE TIME, BUT...

This moment changed my life forever. I had never been so fascinated by something. I thought I knew a bit about training in my naive youth and with my qualifications.

During our assessment session, I was blown away by how complex the human body was and how little I actually knew about it and how to work with it.

This belong a lifelong journey that I am still on to this day. This journey has allowed me to see the world speak to 1000's of trainers and coaches, train and consult to even more client, ranging from general population all the way to Olympic athletes and everything in between.

I look forward to sharing and working with many more of you in the future.
