Hi, I am Paul Coombes I am a keen sportsman and outdoor enthusiast who after a thirty year career in the Police Force has decided to help people in a different way.
I have loved sports and fitness since I was young and have taken part in most types of sport both team and individual.
I have completed a large number of marathons and triathlons over the years and am currently training for a long distance run event in the Lake District in 2022. In 2014 and 2015 I concentrated on Ironman Distance Triathlons and also working with the 'Let's Get Moving' programme motivating people to become more active and lead healthier lifestyles which I found most rewarding and I met a lot of really fantastic people. In 2016 due to a tear in my meniscus cartilage and being unable to run and cycle, my main challenge ended up being a 10km swim. In 2017 I completed my level 2 Triathlon Coaching Course and indoor cycling instructor award as injury was still holding me back slightly. I love combining my love of the outdoors with my fitness goals. Last year I swam the length of Ullswater and plan to swim Windemere this year , its always good I feel to have a challenge to motivate you.
As a Personal Trainer and Mountain Leader I am determined to help people achieve their goals in fitness and in wellbeing. Making the journey along the way both exciting and rewarding.
Whether it's losing weight for a special occasion, being fitter to do the garden, swimming in a mountain lake or running in a marathon I will be able to guide you to your goal by creating a unique, stimulating and exciting training and lifestyle coaching experience for you.
I love helping people reach their goals and am sure if you contact me I will be able to help.

Modern existence is made easy by technology . We have to do less to live. That doesn't mean we don't work hard but we often work in front of computers, drive to and from work and also tend to work long hours that means when we do have free time we are often too tired to be active and often rely on pre-packaged snacks, fast food and ready meals. If we are overweight this can lead to greater risk of heart disease, high blood pressure , type 2 diabetes , strokes and some cancers.
As waistlines expand at astonishing speed there is an increasing demand for even quicker ways to lose weight. This has led to many fad diets, potions and pills that promise to drop the pounds fast but rarely work in the long term. My job includes educating my clients about healthy eating principles and about the benefits of embarking on a program that addresses both nutrition and exercise. This will allow not only short term behaviour modification but willl enable permanent lasting change.
