"I was given Paul's details by a friend when I first went vegan and was told he'd help me get on the right path to making sure I'm getting enough from my diet to continue performing at a high level. I didn't really know where to start as like most people, a meal wasn't a meal without a bit of meat or fish on my plate. Paul gave me lots of helpful tips and information, from recipes to research on why a vegan diet is better for our health. He devised an eating plan to ensure I was getting the right amount of protein, carbs and fats from my diet. He made it a much easier transition for me and I haven't looked back."

“I have had a fantastic start to coaching with Paul and Gemma! I have been highly impressed by how personalised the plan is, even down to details such as which supermarket you shop at! They are so supportive and are always on hand to answer any questions. They never make me feel like I am being a bother.
Their combined knowledge has me feeling confident in a plan that is already bringing in results! I had never worked with coaches before, as I was nervous about handing over control or having a rigid food/exercise plan that I didn't feel like I could stick to. Paul and Gemma are very different. There isn't a set "Monday to Sunday this is what you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner", it is a variety of meals that you can pick and choose from on any given day. They tailor the plan to fit you and are supportive and motivating rather than strict and rigid.
Gemma made sure that there were quick and easy meals on my plan, as being a mum of 4 can require a quick meal at times. The meals have all been delicious! They have also been quick to adjust my calories when needed from my feedback so that we find the perfect amount. Paul has been on-hand to make sure that my form with my resistance training is spot-on, and has made suggestions that have made a big difference to targeting the right muscles.
I am eager to continue to see results, and I am excited for a happier, healthier, fitter, me!”

"I have been training with Paul for 11 months now and would like to say how much he has helped me. I’d had 2 Personal Trainers previous to Paul and they were both more interested in their own egos- barking orders at me and not training me in a way I enjoyed! I was just shy of 25 stone when I started training with Paul but with his patience and commitment to me I have lost over 6 stone. He has a wealth of knowledge on nutrition and fitness and I believe that Paul has helped put years on my life. When I first started with him I was verging on having type 2 diabetes and I did have a serious liver disease both of which have been totally reversed through good nutritional and fitness advice! I have also become vegan through listening to Paul and his partner Gemma’s nutrition advice regarding animal products and I know I could never go back, I feel too amazing! To anyone thinking of using Paul as their PT I would totally recommend him, he is great at his job but more importantly he genuinely enjoys helping his clients get results. Cheers PK you have changed my life."

"Working with Paul and Gemma was Life changing for me, it is a big statement but when I reflect on the last 10 years trying to reach a good level of health and wellbeing, I have tried exercise and meal plans/strategies and had mixed results with little progress maintained over the long term. The combination they offer was what I needed to get me on track post pandemic weight gain and health decline due to bad habits creeping back in. The way they approached wholefoods plant based was pragmatic and removed any complexity, they kept it simple and enjoyable to cook and more importantly eat; I was never hungry and never missing any flavour.
What I have learned I feel permanent changes have been made as we worked on my behaviours and forming good habits; The changes are sustainable and show in my decision making day to day.
When it came to training Paul listened to what I liked and we agreed an approach and goals that fit my ability and his expertise, he was happy to review technique and provided feedback and guidance. I could not be happier with the results over the 3 months
The programme included a weekly call and we discussed anything and everything, they are willing and wanting to cover any topic they can help with, they take a Holistic approach to health and wellbeing. I think the support and accountability it offered is what drove the changes, If you have stalled or thinking of a wholefoods plant based lifestyle they are the people you need, based on my experience I don’t think you will regret it."

"I cannot stress enough how grateful I am for the amazing workout plan (although every session is absolutely gruelling) and meal plan, that has been 100% responsible for getting me back in shape, I wasn't sure it was possible but in the first call Paul said with supreme confidence I would get back in shape following your plan. I was hesitant based on what I was looking like, how wrong I was and how right he was! Thank you again."

My experience with the Hench Herbivore coaching team was brilliant! Paul and Gemma are such kind people and would highly recommend them if you want to transform your physique or health. They are both extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
Despite Paul being away for a little while during my coaching because he was sadly in hospital (I had to have an emergency operation- Paul), I still had coaching calls with Gemma and even Paul was still in contact via messaging whilst he was in hospital. Just shows how much they both care for your results despite going through such a hard time in life themselves.
100% recommend them!
FAQ
Q. What will make me succeed with this programme when others have failed me?
A. I offer no cookie cutter plans. Those don’t take into account your personal needs. They also don’t cover all 3 important aspects for success: strategy, mindset and accountability.
I've personally helped hundreds of people transform their bodies, from top level athletes to people recovering from chronic disease and everyone in between.
Clearly one plan does not work for everyone and that's why time, care and attention is spent with each person to ensure success. I only work with a very small number of clients at once so that I have the time and commitment necessary.
Having a coach with decades more experience than you saves you tons of time and facing unnecessary obstacles.
Q. How much fat can I expect to lose/muscle to gain?
A. I help you to `set realistic goals, which is how you maintain results long term with no rebounds! I aim for 1% of total body weight loss per week maximum, making no two people the same. So for example, someone weighing 150 lbs, 1% would be 1.5 lbs. For someone weighing 250 lbs, 1% would be 2.5 lbs. So as you can see expectations should be very individual and will be discussed and regularly reviewed (results can differ in the initial couple of weeks).
By not losing weight too quickly we will ensure that the weight stays off long term and that you don’t negatively affect your metabolism, ending up “skinny-fat” with no place to go.
In terms of muscle gain, people new to training can expect larger gains and those that have been training a while (a couple of years or more) can expect that gains will be relatively slower, which is why it is all the more important to optimize EVERY element of your programme to ensure that you get the best results possible.
Q. How long would we work together?
A. My preference is usually to enrol clients into my 120 day coaching programme. This affords us plenty of time to achieve EPIC results, build momentum and habits that will last. However we also offer the option to receive just a meal plan from us also.
Q. Will you use photos of me in your marketing?
A. Definitely not! We only ever use photos if clients wish us to do so and it is of course not mandatory. We completely respect the privacy of your journey.
Q. What is the cost?
A. We have packages that range from £647 to £1997, depending on the level and duration of support that you are looking for. The only real way for us to know which package would be best for you is to get on a call and find out where you are currently and your goals. We can offer the option to split the payment, for those that would find it helpful, via PayPal pay in 3 (subject to acceptance and availability). Find out more here
When it comes to investing in this programme, the thing to keep in mind is:
How easy would you find it to achieve your goals without the expertise, knowledge and accountability you get with a coach, how many times have you tried before/how much more time do you want to waste trying things without being sure if it will guarantee results that last?
Also, what is finally having a lean, strong, energized, healthy body worth to you?
Many people are happy to spend thousands on a new car or holiday, or £1000 on a new iPhone but won’t invest in the most important thing that exists to them; their bodies!
Sometimes we think that we don’t have the time or money for something, when in truth we have simply not made it enough of a priority...
