“I am a 56-year-old woman living with multiple sclerosis and two disc hernias. Four years ago, my back pain was so severe that I needed to visit the physio every week, and on some mornings, my husband had to help me out of bed. At one point, I realised I needed to change my habits and do something for myself. With a full-time job and the demands of juggling kids and work, the only option I could see was to commit to one-on-one personal training sessions early in the morning.

I began training with Pau four years ago. At the time, my muscle strength and coordination were almost non-existent. Despite this, I saw a pathway to improvement, and I could observe progress week by week.

After the first couple of months of training, I was able to space out my physio visits. Within six months, I no longer needed to return to the physio. The improvement in my physical health motivated me to persist, even during the dark and cold winter mornings. I have not missed a session in the last four years, and I consider this one of the best decisions I have made for myself. He is a great motivator, and you will see the results slowly but steadily.

He has also helped me with my wight management. During menopause, I gained weight and my cholesterol levels became elevated. At the start of the year, advised by Pau, I decided to change my nutrition habits. Within six months, my test results showed improvement, and my body also reflected positive changes. I could not be happier”
