From the reviews

Came to crux to fix some lower back pain and get strong for the climbing season. Paul’s plan helped me do both! Paul is attentive, kind and really knows his stuff! Subtle spray*** his training program helped me send my first 13a ;)

I'm going into my third month training with Paul at Crux. At 38 years old, I've never felt better and stronger. The workouts are amazing and provide incredible functional results. His ability to explain the movements and how they apply to my real life applications is unparalleled.

Crux is a really special gym (gem, if you will?) and I feel lucky to have found it! I started weightlifting there to address some old lingering injuries and prevent new ones. I’m not a climber like many folks in there but I’m a lifelong athlete and I do physically demanding work.

★★★★★ — Christina, Apr 2026

When I first started working out with Paul I had chronic back pain from a lumbar disc herniation. Paul took the time to set up a personal training plan that focused on core strength and flexibility that allowed me to build my fitness level in a safe way that has prevented any further pain.
