Goal: Lose fat & get my life back

"My goal to begin with was to lose weight and get my life back. Gianna from E8 Fitness has helped me get to where I am now in about 10 months. I was still new to the whole fitness thing and she didn't make me feel like I was choosing between fitness and having a life outside of it which really helped me fall in love with the whole process."

Results vary. Individual results depend on consistency, nutrition and starting point.

The real problem

You don't need another programme. You need a coach who builds around you.

Most people don't lack effort. They lack a plan that fits their life and a coach in their corner.

Sound familiar?

  • Starting and stopping again and again
  • A gym membership that quietly goes unused
  • Not knowing what to do — or if it's even working
  • Hitting a plateau and feeling stuck
  • Old injuries or niggles that won't settle
  • Low energy and confidence
  • Never quite enough time

Here's what changes

  • A clear, evidence-based plan built around your life
  • A coach who adjusts with you, not against you
  • Accountability that doesn't rely on motivation
  • Visible, tracked progress — so you know it's working
  • Strength, energy and confidence that lasts

Miguel, 30 — Lose fat & get my life back
"From the outset Paulo was genuinely kind and supportive. He reminded me that my journey was not a linear process, but that I was the master of my own destiny; encouraging me to challenge the things that were holding me back. Without his knowledge, support and empathy, I would not have been able to achieve the results I did, throughout the most difficult periods of my life. Exemplary and highly recommended!"
Nicola M. — Support through a difficult period

Paulo

Strength & Body Transformation Coach

I've spent 11 years in personal training, including 7 years inside one of the world's leading results-driven training environments. In that time, I've coached over 100 clients, from complete beginners who'd never set foot in a gym to experienced lifters ready to level up. My approach is simple: strength training and sustainable eating habits that fit around your life, not disrupt it.

  • 11 years coaching, 100+ clients and 50+ body transformations
  • Degree in Sports & Exercise Science
  • Competed in boxing, powerlifting and weightlifting, now trains Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Paulo's own transformation

This is where I started. Everything I teach my clients, I've tested on myself first. No shortcuts, just a plan that works and the consistency to stick to it.

Gianna

Strength & Performance Coach

I help people feel stronger, more confident and happier in their bodies, without having to give up the things they love. Training should fit into your life, not take it over. My coaching focuses on body recomposition, building strength, improving mobility and creating habits you can keep for life, in a way that feels realistic, enjoyable and sustainable.

  • 6+ years coaching in some of London's top high-end gyms, including Third Space
  • Competed in powerlifting, now competes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
  • Specialises in body recomposition, strength and mobility

Gianna's own transformation

I'd never give up the food I love, and I don't expect my clients to either. Fitness should fit into your life, not take it over.

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly

How much does 1-to-1 personal training cost?

It depends on the plan — frequency and whether you train in South Kensington or Canary Wharf. We talk through options and transparent pricing on your free session, so there are no surprises.

Is it worth paying for a personal trainer?

If you've tried and stalled before, the structure, accountability and expert eyes on your form are what turns effort into a result. For most busy people, it's the difference between another attempt and lasting change.

I'm a complete beginner. Is this right for me?

Absolutely. We start from where you are and build up safely. Many clients come to us having never lifted before.

I have an injury or health condition. Can I still train?

Usually yes — we coach around it and adjust as needed. You'll complete a short health questionnaire (PAR-Q) before we start, and where appropriate we'll work alongside your GP or physio.

How many sessions do I need per week?

Most clients see best results with two to three coached sessions a week, but we tailor frequency to your life and budget.

How quickly will I see results?

Early wins often show in the first few weeks — better energy, movement and strength. Visible body composition change takes consistent effort over a longer period and depends on your starting point and nutrition.

Do I need a gym membership?

No. We train in our private studio — no membership required.

Do you help with nutrition?

Yes. We focus on simple, sustainable habits rather than restrictive diets, and adjust as you progress.

What happens in the free session?

Your free session lasts 90 minutes at our private studio. We go through your goals, schedule and training history, measure your body fat so you know exactly where you're starting from, then train together so you can see how we coach. Finally, we map out your next 12 weeks, so you leave with a clear plan. There's no obligation to sign up.

What if I need to reschedule or cancel?

Life happens. Just let us know in advance and we'll rearrange — no drama.

Where do you train and which areas do you serve?

All sessions take place in our private studios in South Kensington and Canary Wharf, London, so you get a quiet, one-to-one environment with no crowded gym floor.
