Cheltenham's Personal Trainer

  Hi, I'm Chris Paget and I own and run Pursuit Health Performance. I have been studying and improving human movement and performance for almost a decade. I currently provide all aspects of sports massage therapy and personal training in Cheltenham town centre, at Reach Fitness. This includes:

• personal training, including boxing, mixed martial arts fitness, weightlifting, Russian Kettlebells, strongman training, and so much more
• strength and conditioning, including power, speed, agility, plyometrics, strength, Olympic weightlifting, returning from injury,
• training programs for health, weight management, fitness, and sports
• dietary and nutritional assessment and advice
• posture assessment and correction
• movement assessment and correction specialising in core strength and flexibility
• sports massage, specialising in pelvis and lower back pain

 I’ve been a passionate sportsman for nearly 20 years and would love to help you enjoy sport and exercise as much as I do. With over a decade spent perfecting all of the above, and my background in teaching, I can motivate and educate you so you look and feel fantastic, and achieve more than you ever thought possible!
