Paul Evans

​

Paul is our main personal trainer and coach here at Sussex Strength Gym. He is a REPs L3 Personal Trainer having qualified and worked since 2013. Since completing his personal trainers he has endeavoured to further his knowledge, expertise, training & qualifications. He has now completed & achieved both the Vivobarefoot Running Technique Instructor training & the Suspended Movement Instructors.

He is always interested in old school & new school trends in both sport, health and fitness, completing his L4 PT in a number of specialisations as well as Westside Barbell Special Strengths Certificate. He is very enthusiastic and passionate about his work and helps you stay motivated and keeps you focused on your goals so you can realise your potential.

​

Paul believes that challenges, accountability & the right support are the keys to overcoming old outdated habits and that anyone is able to make positive changes to their mind & body. He actively encourages and supports his clients in doing things they didn't think they could ever achieve. In short, he believes in achieving the impossible!

​

When away from the training clients and the gym Paul enjoys spending his time in nature, he loves the Sussex, Hampshire & Cornish Countrysides. However his real passion lies in spending time on & by the water, using the fitness, strength & power gained in the gym to further his advanced windsurfing skills!

His love of windsurfing has seen him travel to many places around the world to some of the best locations for his sport. Notably, he has spent over 6 months cumulatively in Egypt, as well as 3 months in both Vassiliki, Greece & in Lancelin, Western Australia. 

His interests also extend to climbing, specifically bouldering, having spent time in the Peak district, Fontainebleau & Lanzarote, as well as many hours in between on indoor walls around the country.

​

Over the years he's dabbled with some Kayaking in the Alps (and in the surf), open water swims (two 3km's), the odd OCR (obstacle course race, tough mudder), Duathlons, Half-marathons, Wake-boarding, Sky diving (15,000ft), Bungee Jumping (3) & done his fair share of mountain biking in the mountains of Greece, Wales, New Zealand & completing the 100 miles of the South Downs Way in Sussex.

​

Beyond this, he is lucky enough to go on many family holidays, including many to Disney World, Florida, USA. And his year rarely goes by without a few rounds of golf, several 'wee' drams of whisky & a number of good red wines!
