Experienced tutor in Personal trainer in South Portland, Paula offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I worked with Paula a few years ago and had great success. Went back at the beginning of this year with big goals for myself. Paula has been one of my biggest cheerleaders. She has pushed me when I didn’t think i could do something. She has listened to me whine about not losing fast enough and has reminded me that I’m on the right track doing everything right, slow and steady. I am now down almost 60 pounds and Paula has helped me to maintain, stay strong mentally and physically, and not let me come off the rails after all of our hard work. It is a team effort. She is patient with explaining new strength training exercises and always demonstrates the correct way of doing them. She is so fun to work with and I always look forward to our scheduled sessions. I would highly recommend Paula as a personal trainer.

I’ve been working with Paula at Realistic Fitness for a year and a half and cannot say enough good things about her personal training skills. I’ve tried a variety of fitness approaches over the years and the personal training I’ve received from Paula has hands-down yielded the best results. She pays excellent attention to form. I used to think I just wasn’t genetically destined to have defined muscles, but Paula has helped me discover the opposite (and all in a way that has been safe for my joints and overall health.). They offer reasonably priced and very effective 30-minute training sessions at this gym. In addition, the owners at Realistic Fitness know everyone by name and are genuinely interested in the health and safety of their clients. When people ask me what I’ve been doing differently, I refer to it as “old school weightlifting.” It works. I understand why people like some of the boot camp types of fitness (I’ve done them and enjoyed certain aspects of them too). But with the personal training at Realistic Fitness, I can get a great session in 30 minutes and leave without being a sweaty mess or feeling drained afterward. Most importantly, I have far more muscle definition and RESULTS from working with Paula than I have had with other approaches.
