PERSONAL TRAINING
Everybody is unique, with their own strengths and limitations. My method is to build a custom plan based on your health, schedule and more importantly, fitness goals. I aim to transform your body and influence you to make more mindful decisions when it comes to your health.
​
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING
Strength and conditioning is an approach designed to improve physical performance. It involves a variety of training methods, such as weight training, cardio, and plyometrics, to increase physical capacity and reduce the risk of injury. Strength and conditioning is an excellent way to transform your body and achieve significant results, whether you’re an athlete or an amateur, an expert or just starting out. It goes far beyond simply lifting weights and uses a wide range of tools to improve movement, health, and overall physical performance.
​
FUNCTIONAL TRAINING FOR WEIGHT LOSS
What is functional training? Functional training refers to exercises that help you perform everyday activities more easily. These exercises typically use the whole body — often multiple muscle groups at once — and emphasize core strength and stability.
The unique training program I’ve developed will help you burn calories, boost your metabolism, and improve your overall health. A combination of strategic exercises and guidance on improving your nutrition will help you reach your goals more quickly.

DEEP TISSUE THERAPY
at Newmarket Leisure Centre
​
Deep tissue massage is a technique mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues such as strains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure with slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of muscles and connective tissues. This helps break up scar tissue that forms after an injury and reduces tension in the muscles and surrounding tissues.
It may also promote faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation. Deep tissue massage can be used as a prehab therapy to loosen tight, painful muscles that restrict movement and circulation. The technique breaks up muscle adhesions, releases fascia tension, and improves lymphatic flow. This allows oxygen and nutrients to reach the cells more effectively and supports the body’s natural healing processes.
Deep tissue therapy also acts as a form of passive exercise, stimulating muscles without straining injured areas.
ABS Sculpting Therapy offers numerous benefits, including improved digestion, reduced bloating and gas, relief from constipation, and enhanced overall well‑being. It can also help relax muscles, increase circulation, and potentially aid in weight management by reducing water retention and bloating. The therapy helps shape and contour the abdominal area by modelling fat cells into a more defined silhouette. At the same time, it influences the internal organs through the abdominal wall. Gentle and deep pressure stimulates normal mobility and tone, relieving tension in the organs and their connective tissues. The method also targets the abdominal muscles to increase their elasticity and functionality.

I have never used a PT before. At the age of 66, I wish I’d met Pav before. After a very short time Pav prepared my muscles and confidence at the age of 67 to successfully tackle a six day off road bike packing adventure in Tuscany. No more signing up to gym membership, going in fits and starts and not really achieving anything. I have signed up for sessions once a week and Pav’s knowledge and encouragement will prepare me for the next challenge.
What I really enjoy is the attention Pav gives. Just a minor adjustment to your form and how it changes the exercise/muscle group you’re working. Pav listens to what your goals are and adapts the sessions accordingly to concentrate on your requirements. Thoroughly enjoy our PT sessions and guidance/confidence given to enable me to also work alone in the gym. I’ve also had the sports massage which although is tough, was incredible in aiding an old muscle trauma. One session helped after 4 months of it being painful. 💪
I started training with Pav in 2023, and I can't recommend him highly enough. His wide knowledge of physiology and fitness enables him to create exciting, bespoke personal training programmes. Pav has provided a tailor-made approach to my training. He understands my goals, strengths, and areas for development, and has used this knowledge to not only improve my health and fitness, but also to boost my all-round confidence. In my opinion, probably the best PT in the county!
Fitness Tips & Advice
When is the best time to do cardio? Should you do it before, after, during, or separate from weight-training?
​Warm-up and Preparation: Starting your workout with cardio can serve as an effective warmup. It raises your heart rate, increases blood flow, and prepares your muscles for the subsequent lifting session.
Fat Burning: Engaging in cardio before weight-training can help burn stored glycogen and fat as a source of fuel during the cardio session. This can be beneficial for individuals aiming to prioritize fat loss.
Endurance and Aerobic Capacity: If your primary goal is to improve cardiovascular endurance or train for endurance sports, doing cardio before weights allows you to focus on your aerobic capacity while you’re fresh and have more energy.
​Depleting Energy and Strength Levels: Performing intense cardio before weightlifting can potentially deplete your energy reserves, which may impact your strength and performance during resistance exercises.
Elevated Calorie Burn: Weightlifting can deplete glycogen stores, making your body more likely to rely on stored fat as fuel during the subsequent cardio session. This can contribute to increased overall calorie burn.
Maximized Performance: Doing cardio and weights on separate days assures neither interferes with the recovery for and performance of the other.
What kind of stretching is best before and after your training?
Dynamic stretching at the beginning of your training
Dynamic stretching is a type of stretching that involves active movements of the muscles and joints to gradually increase the range of motion. It helps increase blood flow to the muscles, elevate heart rate and body temperature, and activate the nervous system, all of which contribute to improved muscle performance and reduced risk of injury during physical activity. It differs from static stretching, where you hold a stretch in one position for a period of time, normally used at the end of the session. Dynamic stretching is typically used as part of a warm-up routine before exercising to prepare the body for movement and reduce the risk of injury.
Static stretching after training
Static stretching passively takes a muscle to the point of tension and holds the stretch for a minimum of 30 seconds. This is the traditional form of stretching that is most often seen in fitness today. It combines low force with longer duration. Holding the muscle in a stretched position for a prolonged period stimulates the Golgi tendon organ and produces an inhibitory effect on the muscle spindle (autogenic inhibition). This allows the muscle to relax and provides for better elongation of the muscle. In addition, contracting the antagonistic musculature while holding the stretch can reciprocally inhibit the muscle being stretched, allowing it to relax and enhancing the stretch. For example, when performing the kneeling hip flexor stretch, an individual can contract the hip extensors (gluteus maximus) to reciprocally inhibit the hip flexors (psoas, rectus femoris), allowing for greater lengthening of these muscles. Another example is to contract the quadriceps when performing a hamstring stretch.
​
Using foam roller before and after training in combination with dynamic and static stretching
When someone uses foam roller (self-myofascial release), it’s crucial to find a tender spot (which indicates the presence of muscle hypertonicity) and sustain pressure on that spot for a minimum of 30 seconds. It may take longer, depending on one’s ability to consciously relax. Self-myofascial release is ideal before stretching because breaking up fascial adhesions (knots) may potentially improve the tissue’s ability to lengthen through stretching techniques. It can also be used during the cool-down process.
NB: If you combining foam roller with dynamic or static stretching always use the roller first!
