Personal Training
Paul Holdaway
My life has been, and is still driven by sport. I have had the pleasure to work within the fitness industry for the last ten years. I qualified in 1998 with a National Diploma in Fitness, Sports Therapy, Sports nutrition and Massage. This assisted me whilst I gained experience in Australia by working in grass routes gyms. 2001 brought me back from Aussie and to Bexhill, soon after returning I formed the Bexhill Runners and for the last 6 years have coached and been actively involved with developing the club. Along side the running club I opened Lifestyle Gym which became a successful local club for sports minded individuals and brought personal training to Bexhill.
My personal sporting history began from a very young age and covers many sports, starting from club level swimming. Tennis then became my focus playing at club and county level. At the age of 15 I was selected for county and district football whilst at Reading Football school of excellence. For the next few years gym based events took priority and I competed nationally in XC training championships ending with the televised Fort Bouyard team event. Indoor rowing was the next big challenge which cumulated with a Silver Medal in the LWT open event at the British Rowing championship 2004. My focus then turned back to the outdoor competitions and over the last few years I managed to gain 1st in the age group National Rowathlon Series, four top three finishes in Triathlon, brought my 10k time down to 33min and ran my first marathon in 2hr 56.
I am now on a further journey to offer back the experience I have gained, Team Lifestyle is my personal training business, I am passionate, committed and believe in the one -2-one coaching principal. All of us have the ability to achieve great things in life.…sometimes we just need encouragement and motivation !

“Since I've started training with Paul my fitness and stamina levels have greatly increased. The sessions are personalised to my own requirements and although hard are achievable. Without a structured plan I wouldn't have the same commitment or achieved the same results"Gill Stokes
I feel privileged to have had the benefit of personal training by Paul for many years. He offers a very professional, friendly, bespoke service. Paul enthusiastically adapts my excercise plans to keep variety and interest thereby maintaining my motivation whilst ensuring high fitness levels.

Being fit and healthy, running for Gold or somewhere in between, Paul’s enthusiasm, encouragement, support and well-structured programs mean you will enjoy every minute. I’ve been with Paul for about 5 years, from being unable to run for a bus, I’ve now run several races including a half-marathon but also just run for the sheer enjoyment of it, my Table Tennis has improved, but perhaps more importantly due to good health and fitness I’ve recently made a quick recovery from major surgery. Life has never been so good thanks Paul.
