After feeling discouraged and at a loose end regarding my fitness and weight-loss goals, I approached Paris for help. Together we set some goals and Paris developed a tailored programme for me. To date, I have lost over 6kg and have stripped 11 minutes off my half-marathon running time.

Paris is probably more committed to my well being than I am. We have a love/hate relationship – I hate training hard and Paris loves to see me succeed! I’m probably one of Paris’ biggest challenges but I think everyone needs at least one person like that in their life right?

I can honestly say Paris is the best trainer I've had. I completely trust his skill and ability - he knows what he's doing and it's clearly evident he loves what he does. He is well-known, well-liked and well-respected.

Training with Paris helped me get to my best physical condition. Paris listens and understands my goals, and gives me challenging workout programmes.

5 years on from personal training with Paris I have gained skills, knowledge, and a great level of fitness.

I met Paris 8 months after having my second child, I needed guidance to get me back on track and to peak performance for my job as an International Netball Umpire.

When I was looking for a PT, having moved from another gym, I wanted to continue on with boxing based training. Paris offered good experience in this modality but also a varied expertise in other modes of training. I told him I don’t want to get bored!

I have worked with a number of trainers through my time playing representative hockey at both regional and national junior level. After training with Paris Winiata I would say he rates right up there with the top high performance trainers.

I picked up two one-on-one sessions a week and decided that I wanted to go hard out to achieve my goals. Looking back now I know I achieved them even though I may not have realised it at the time. Paris helped me get from around 7.1 on the beep test to level 10.1. For me that is massive.

Self confidence, belief, drive, passion, finish line, goals, nutrition, power, strength.......... these are just some of the feelings Paris brings to your work outs.

I chose Paris as a Personal Trainer when I joined Les Mills, based on his profile on the website. I was looking for someone who could help me to achieve results in specific areas, and he seemed to tick all the boxes.

I have been a client of Paris for over four years, doing personal training sessions up to twice a week. Throughout this time I have increased my strength, fitness, lost weight and learnt a lot about muscle groups, exercises and correct technique.

When I first started my lifestyle change 7/8 years ago I decided to get a PT to help me in my journey to loss weight and feel good about myself.  I was 40 and fat (105kg, wearing a size 18/20).  Over that time I experienced 6 different PT's and their different styles of training.  Paris was recommended to me nearly 3 years ago when I shifted down to Wellington and I haven't looked back.  He is the best PT that I have had.   I have accomplished so much more than I ever dreamed off since having Paris as my PT.
