Personal trainer clinches county award ahead of 10-year business anniversary.

Paul’s business has now qualified for the National Grand Final, taking place at 7pm on November 22, 2026, when gold, silver and bronze winners for the national health and fitness category will be announced.

The prestigious award recognises the outstanding service, dedication and results delivered by Paul Lane Personal Training, which has helped hundreds of people transform their health, fitness, and confidence over the past decade.

The award arrives at the perfect moment, as November 2026 marks the tenth anniversary of the business at its private premises on 1 Exchange Street, Retford.

Over the past decade, Paul has built a reputation for delivering life-changing results through one-to-one personal training and small group coaching.

Unlike traditional commercial gyms, Paul Lane Personal Training offers a completely private environment where clients of all ages and abilities can train.

Every programme is tailored to the client’s goals, combining structured training, nutritional guidance, and ongoing support to create sustainable results.

Paul has specialised in helping clients lose weight, improve fitness, build confidence, and develop healthier lifestyles.

His passion for health and fitness began at an early age, leading him to complete a BTEC National Diploma in Sports and Exercise Science, followed by a degree in Sports Development and Coaching from the University of Lincoln.

He has represented Great Britain in inline hockey and continues to invest in further education to ensure his clients receive the latest evidence-based coaching and advice.

His commitment to continuous learning reflects in the high standard of coaching synonymous with his business.

Client reviews consistently highlight Paul’s knowledge, professionalism, motivation, and genuine care for every individual who walks through the door.

Paul said: “Winning the England’s Business Award for Best Health and Fitness Business in Nottinghamshire is honestly one of the proudest moments of my career.

“When I first opened the doors almost ten years ago, my goal was to help people change their lives through fitness. I never imagined we’d one day receive recognition like this.

"This award means so much because it reflects the trust our clients place in us every single day.

"Watching people lose weight, become healthier, gain confidence, and completely transform their lives is the reason I do what I do.”

He continued: “I want to say a huge thank you to every client who has supported the business over the past ten years. Whether you’ve trained with us for a few weeks or many years, you’ve all played a part in this achievement. This award belongs to every single one of you as much as it does to me.

“I’m incredibly excited for what the future holds. We’ll continue doing what we’ve always done, providing the highest quality coaching, supporting our clients every step of the way and helping even more people become the healthiest and happiest versions of themselves.”

For anyone considering starting their own fitness journey, Paul’s message is simple:

“The hardest part is taking that first step. Once you do, we’ll support you every step of the way.”
