Testimonials

As a prospective client, you probably don’t care so much about what I say about myself. So here is what my clients are saying!

“3 years training hard with the best trainer, Heavy Duty Fitness. Honored to be amongst the top 5 (Finalists).”

-Layanna Robinson, Miss Grand Canada 2024

“Paul's style of coaching makes you want to train harder and achieve more than you ever thought possible - and you will. He not only understands his clients' goals, he sees their full potential and is relentlessly committed to realizing it. In Paul's training sessions, progress is inevitable based on years of continuous education and experience, and because giving up isn't an option. He doesn't accept anything but your best and I don't know who is more proud when you reach a milestone - you or him. I'm grateful for every single hour I've trained with Paul and trust him with any performance and wellness programming."

-Amy

“Paul has been an attentive trainer who helped me achieve great results.  His style is to customize the work outs to the individual. He is a pleasure to spend time with.”

-Michael


“I work out regularly but needed a trainer to take me to the next level, and that’s when I trained with Paul.  He is dedicated, knowledgeable and pushed me to my limits, and I noticed a lot of progress in a short time.  He kept me motivated with a variety of exercises that I still use today.”

-Gerald


“Paul is a first rate trainer. He knows his stuff technically, but more importantly, he knows how to keep me motivated and on the track we set out. Paul keeps the grind of working out fun. I really liked his banter and the way he made this as enjoyable as possible. He is the real deal. Knowledge and skills tied to a great delivery to make getting fit fun. I could not recommend him more!”

-Conrad


“Paul designed a thoughtful program tailored for me to achieve my fitness goals.  He was knowledgeable and creative, and always knew when I needed that push to get out of my comfort zone.  I highly recommend working with Paul to anyone looking for a trainer as motivated and committed to reaching your goals as you are.”

-Grace


“Paul Harrison is one of a kind!  For me, as a professional executive with little available time, but a need to keep a reasonable level of fitness, I was wary as to the benefits of a Personal Trainer as opposed to just myself doing a few weekly quick mixed gym workouts, when I had time.  Despite Paul’s high-level of experience and credentials complemented with his qualifications, he was not arrogant or aggressive, he created a disciplined, yet focused and appropriate individualized program for me that suited my age, experience and goals and I obtained those targets. He complimented me and was supportive when appropriate, but also held me accountable when I swayed from the end goal. He knew exactly how to push me, and I become stronger, improved my cardio fitness, and improved my flexibility. A top professional and master of his craft. Highest recommendation.”

-Frazer


“I’ve enjoyed every session with Paul, and have also enjoyed the results. He works incredibly hard, creates tailored and effective workouts, and monitors and corrects form in every movement with precision. He’s a ton of fun to work with, and a total professional.”

-Josh


“Paul is knowledgeable, personable, patient, and communicative - all critical qualities of a great trainer.  Paul delivers customized training programs while keeping an eye on any personal restrictions or limitations, without compromising “the objective” or the quality of his training. Paul also “walks the walk” and is clearly disciplined with his own fitness and health, which is a good motivator. All in, Paul is for those seeking to be lean(er), fit(ter), and strong(er).”

-Marco


“I worked out with Paul regularly for over 5 years in downtown Toronto. Paul listens.  A highly intelligent and disciplined individual who truly understands each client’s objectives and structures programs accordingly. Paul is always up to date with trends in health and fitness enthusiastically sharing on helpful lifestyle and nutrition tips.  Loved my time spent with Paul!”
