Paul Fike

NESTA Certified Personal Trainer

USA Track and Field Level One Coach

Nautilus/Schwinn Indoor Cycling Coach

It all started with a knee injury.  An active distance runner, Paul was stopped in his tracks in 2006 with cartilage damage to his right knee.  After surgery his orthopedic surgeon recommended he find some other form of exercise so he took up cycling which led him to the newly opened TMF Premier Fitness in Canton that winter.  Before long Paul was a spin instructor teaching at the Canton club.  In May 2008 he earned his personal training certification and began training in January 2009.

As a full-time minister with a church, Paul balances his duties at the fitness center and responsibilities to his church.  But for Paul the two fit very well together.  Working at the fitness center provides the opportunity to interact with a variety of people, which enriches his preaching and teaching.  His goal is to imitate Christ in helping others and for him this includes helping people gain better physical, mental and spiritual health.

"Although new to the fitness industry I have been involved in coaching young athletes for over fifteen years.  I continue to serve as a volunteer coach for distance runners for Canton ISD and organize the Canton Track Club during the summer and winter.  Seeing my clients perform well, gain greater endurance and meet their goals is a great thrill."
