For the last two years I have been the Head Tennis Coach of this full time squad.

I have worked along side Paul Gold (Hub Fitness Trainer/Consultant) and can say that Through my own experiences on the professional circuit for ten years, attaining a senior British no.2 ranking, and performance tennis coach for the last nine years with some of the best players in the country I have had association with numerous trainers and coaches but none with as much knowledge or creativeness as Paul.

Paul is innovative, practical but most importantly potent, creating the platform for success.

Andrew Foster (Winner of 8 ATP events)

Being accepted into the squad introduced me to Paul who became my personal fitness trainer, which is something I had not experienced previously.

Not only did Paul devise a fitness programme to help me through an injury, but he also helped me establish a fitness level that I had never reached before.

On returning to competitive tennis, Paul's training programme elevated my tennis performance to previously unattained levels.

Carla Bell ( Ohio State College Player)

It is without doubt Paul's innovative, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and dedicated approach that separates him from the pack!

Sara Hancock (ex Tour Pro and now Performance Coach)

I have known Paul Gold for 5 or 6 years, since he joined the club as tennis pro.

He has an excellent reputation amongst the members, all benefiting greatly from his expertise and general enthusiasm.

Over the last 6 months or so Paul has been helping me with my tennis technique as used by all modern professional athletes.

He has helped me enormously.

The sessions are always hard work and challenging, but always enjoyable as Paul uses his widespread knowledge to great affect.

I would go as far as to say that although I play tennis at least 4 times a week, my favourite hour has become the session with Paul.

Paul's in-depth appraisal and individually tailored programmes has without doubt enabled our players to maximise their abilities on the court.

I've been using your tips, particularly the "wide forward stance with resistance tubing".
