Coach Paul is an excellent trainer. He evaluates you to find what your strengths are. He changes your workouts on every visit to get all your muscles the work-out they need. I'm feel great after each work-out. He takes a personal interest in keeping a person in shape. He explains every exercise on how do do it correctly.

Love this place. I love the small group setting and the fact that I don’t feel intimidated or embarrassed about where I am in my fitness journey.

One of the best to do it! Before joining Tenacity I was fatigued and would become extremely tired mid way through a work day. After several months of training, I am no longer fatigued and I am not getting tired while I work. I feel great, I'm looking so much better and my confidence is through the roof. Thanks Coach Paul!

I have been a client at Tenacity for a little over a year. Paul's coaching is phenomenal. I've surpassed old goals and reached new ones. After many years of trying it on my own, this was the change I needed to finally see results and have a consistent path. I would absolutely recommend giving them a shot!

My wife and I joined Tenacity almost a year ago and have been going two days a week and I am just so impressed with coach Paul’s dedication to his clients. He is so flexible and does everything needed to be sure you get your workout in. He walks you through each workout and explains the benefit of that workout. More than anything he is just a kind, motivating and dedicated person and I strongly recommend Paul and Tenacity. You will see the difference from the big box gym immediately. Do yourself a favor and give it a shot!!

Tenacity is a fantastic place to train at. It is for everybody, wherever you are in your fitness journey. Paul is very knowledgeable and does a great job working with you one on one. He will motivate you, keep you focused, keep you interested, help you attain your goals, and laugh with you. That is why I have been a client for many years. I’d highly recommend Tenacity for all levels.
