Paul Tucker Personal Training

We’re happy to welcome Charlie to the team!
Charlie is 23 years old and will be joining us starting mid-June while Francesca is on maternity leave.
Charlie has been working as a personal trainer for the past 3 years and really enjoys the social side of coaching. He loves explaining things to clients so they fully understand what they are doing and why they are doing it.
He completed his thesis on the link between physical activity and wellbeing, because for him training is not only about working on your body, but also about working on your mind.
Throughout his experience, Charlie has worked at Aspira, Basic-Fit, and in private studios. He also completed internships at La Rasante and Keep Cool.
Outside of coaching, Charlie enjoys training himself and spending quality time with close friends and family.
Make sure to give him a warm welcome when you see him at the studio 👍💪

Hi everyone,

I’m fundraising for someone very dear to our family: Liseth.

Liseth is a hardworking mother in El Salvador who has shown extraordinary resilience in the face of circumstances far beyond her control. She cares for her young son with quiet strength and dignity, and despite very limited means, she has always done everything she can to build a stable future for him.

Over time, through years of saving every small amount she could, Liseth managed to purchase a small plot of land and begin building a modest home — not a luxury, just a safe, simple place her son can truly call home. It has been her biggest dream and the result of immense sacrifice.

Recently, unexpected personal circumstances have left her without the support she once had to continue the construction. For privacy and safety reasons, I cannot share all the details here, but please know this is a good family facing a very difficult situation with courage and integrity.

At the moment, the house is partially built. The materials are there, the structure has begun, but she simply does not have the financial means to finish it. Without help, the project risks remaining unfinished, and the opportunity for a secure home may slip away.

Those of us who live in or know El Salvador understand that poverty here can look very different from what many of us are used to in Europe or elsewhere. A modest, finished home is not just comfort — it is stability, safety, and dignity for a child growing up in a challenging environment.

Our family is already supporting Liseth as much as we can, including providing housing and daily assistance, but completing her home requires resources beyond what we alone can provide.

This fundraiser is not about charity in the abstract — it is about giving a devoted mother and her son the chance to live in their own safe, dignified space, built from years of effort and hope.

For full transparency, we will post regular updates on the funds received and exactly what they are being used for (materials, labour, and essential construction needs), so that everyone who contributes can clearly see the direct impact of their support.

Every contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward:

Basic construction materials
Finishing essential structural work
Making the home safe and livable for her and her child

Even a small donation can make a real, tangible difference.

If you are unable to donate, simply sharing this page would already mean so much.

Thank you for taking the time to read Liseth’s story and for helping us support a kind, hardworking mother who simply needs a fair chance to complete the home she has fought so hard to build.

We’ve added a reformer to the studio!

Strength training is still the foundation of what we do. Always will be. The reformer is simply another tool we use to improve movement quality, control and stability, especially when returning from injury, managing pain, or working around limitations.

Same philosophy. One more option! 💪

Five minutes can really make a difference
A recent article caught our eye: researchers found that adding just 5 minutes of exercise a day and sitting 30 minutes less is linked to better long-term health and lower risk of early death.
No extreme workouts. No “all or nothing” mindset.
Just small, realistic changes.
This is something we see every day in the studio. People don’t get healthier because they suddenly train like athletes, they get healthier because they move a bit more, more often, and build habits that actually fit into real life.
That’s why our focus is on:
✔️ consistent training
✔️ smart strength work
✔️ moving better, not just harder
If you’ve been thinking “I should do something, but I don’t have time”, this is your sign: small steps count more than you think!

Five minutes more exercise and 30 minutes less sitting could help millions live longer Research finds minor changes in physical activity could hugely reduce number of premature deaths
