Meet our Staff

Paul Gehan (Owner and Manager of Your Local PT)

I spent 18 years in the Army and I was involved as a Combat fitness leader for the last 5 years of my career. In 2004 I completed Certificate III in Fitness and Certificate IV in Personal Training at Fitlink Training College here in Brisbane. I am also a Level 1 Strength and Conditioning coach. I have completed Group training module also.

Your Local PT has been in existance since August 2005. As the average life span of a Personal trainer is about 2 years, I am sure you can understand that I have come across all sorts of challenges and have been able to overcome all that you may be able to throw at me.

I love the variety and styles that we bring to training as they each bring different challenges and rewards. It is this blend that keeps me motivated. Meeting new people is the excitment and the challenge is to help them achieve their goals.

The greatest rewards are seeing clients lose over 25kg and others that have completed half marathons, or just being able to have an exercise program in their life for more than 2 years when in every other attempt they have given up.

Simon Clark

Simon is currently serving in the Army and has done so for 15 years. He have been actively involved as a Combat Fitness Leader for 8 of those years. Simon has only recently completed the Certificate III and IV with AIPT in Brisbane and have been training the General Public for the past 8 months.

During this time he has gained a massive amount of experience within the Military. Fitness in the miltary involved large Group Fitness activities ranging from Long Pack Marches, Endurance Training and a wide variety in circuits both boxing and strength. This type of experience is brought directly to our classes, which in the end only benefits anyone who is keen to give it a go.

There is no better feeling then being able to help people in their achievements and motivate them to even a higher expectation then what they first planned.
