Hi. My name is Patrick but go by the name "Paddy" and I live in Ramsbottom. Even as a young child, I was very active in sports. My happy childhood and teenage years were shaped by sports, and I was able to achieve some personal successes in track and field.

Once I had my diploma in hand, I could not wait to pursue a career in the leisure industry. All my life I have been calling Ramsbottom my home and continue to love it. In fact, I don’t think I will ever want to move away from here.

After having successfully completed my Diploma in Personal Training, I began to work in a large leisure centre gaining valuable experience in a wide variety of clients ranging from teenagers to the over 80`s, overweight to bodybuilder`s, G.P Referral including Cardiac Rehab. I have a special interest in working directly with people, and want to cater to each individual as much as possible.

Back then, I decided on a career as a professional coach in a fitness studio. There it was possible for me to train with just one person. I enjoyed that type of work very much and I spent three wonderful years working in my own studio in Bury.

For the past five years now, I have been working as an independent professional trainer and also use various local gyms to train my clients. I enjoy every minute of it and the freedom of being my own boss. I can already look back on many happy hours during which I was able to help my clients reach their goals they had set for themselves and the job satisfaction I get of seeing my clients reach them is rewarding for myself.
