Paul Curtis Profile

1987-1989
Whilst studying A-levels including PE, and after passing basic qualifications I began work for Southampton City Council at a number of its leisure venues and began teaching Circuit Training. At this time I had been practicing Karate for around 10 years and had reached 1st Dan Black belt standard. During this time I personally began resistance training following a body-building/ power-lifting routine.

1989-2001
Throughout this time I worked at the Fareham Leisure Centre, starting as a Senior Recreation Assistant, and gaining promotion leaving as the Health & Fitness Business Development Manager. I implemented and operated the Circuit Training classes to this venue, and continued to teach sometimes everyday of the week for over 10 years. In 2000 under my Management, the Body Matters Health & Fitness Suite / Fareham Leisure Centre was voted 'runner-up' in the industries FLAME award for excellence. This was fantastic recognition of the hard work myself and Team had put into setting up the facility from scratch, and proved that we could provide a service within a local government site that could compete with the private sector. In 2001 I was personally awarded a certificate of achievement for my entry into the FLAME fitness Manager of the year.

2001-Present
I now teach both groups (Circuit Training & Boxercise) and individuals (Personal Training) throughout the week at various venues. Since setting up my company I have had the privilege of conducting training sessions for Weymouth Football Club, have secured personal training clients including a multimillionaire, and taught various forms of exercise and self-defence to students at a number of various schools. In addition I feel very honoured that many of the clients that I have taught at the various previous venues have stuck by me, and entrusted me to operate their chosen exercise regime. Some of my members have been training with me for over 10 years-and obviously still enjoying the benefits of regular exercise.

My adidas speed training qualification has allowed me to train a number of athletes and teams, both amateur, professional and celebrity including-
