The best. I’m never going back to a crowded chain gym again. UFI has the space and equipment I need, but most importantly, I have a trainer in Danesh who is in lock step with my post surgical recovery goals, pushes me, and treats me like the athlete I am. No soft corners, but constant encouragement and excitement about what we’re accomplishing.

Paul is super knowledgeable. He has a PHD after all. He gave me incrementally more challenging workouts and helped me fix my back. I have ankle, knee, back, and wrist injuries. He helps me find alternative ways to hit muscle groups. He always has time to answer my questions about nutrition, health, and physiology. He keeps a library on hand in case he doesn’t know off the top of his head. He’s also pretty goofy at times and fun to be around.

Nothing but good things to say about UFI and Dr. Paul Daniels.The gym is conveniently located with good parking, is clean, and has an excellent variety of quality equipment. From our very first interaction I was immediately impressed. I like that Paul has his PhD and is truly an expert in his field. I had some personal fitness goals that I wanted to achieve and he took the time to fully discuss those and identify the roadblocks, injuries, and self-limiting triggers I have that hold me back. He designed an efficient program that makes the best use of my time. Each workout is challenging and progressively builds toward the next. He’s tough, but encouraging and motivates me to push myself even when I don’t think I can. I like that he takes the time to ensure my form is correct and make adjustments when needed. He celebrates my achievements and never makes me feel inadequate, d**** or that I can’t get better. At 47, thanks to Dr. Daniels and UFI, I’m in the best shape of my life. Don’t let them tell you your body can’t change after 40! I look forward to each session and highly recommend him. I just added another day to my weekly training and I’m excited to see what the next year brings.

About 2012, I started working out with Paul while he was in his PhD program. Since then, he opened the studio. I continued training with Parker and Danny. Their work ethic is exemplary. Every minute of every workout, your highly skilled trainer will be focused on your goals and your performance.I am 61, and I'm grateful to have such a competent partner in my healthy aging journey. Thank you so much.

Excellent! First, the training is spot on - if you want to be pushed, simply maintain fitness or are just getting into a fitness routine, your work out sessions are well tailored to each individual. Second, the facility itself is well-equipped, clean and clearly well cared for. Highly recommend!

I've been training with Paul for just two months, and it's already been a life-changing experience! My goals were to rebuild my physical conditioning, plus lose substantial weight. So far, in just the first two months of training three hours/wk, I've been able to double the intensity of my workouts, and have already lost 17 lbs! That's beyond even my most optimistic expectations!Paul is highly knowledgeable in all aspects of not only the full range of professional training techniques, but also in human physiology (super important) and in all aspects of proper nutrition! In addition, Paul is very professional with great people skills, and during every workout stays focused on me and my progress with each routine. Plus, his UFI private gym is a top notch facility, with a highly personalized environment.I highly, highly recommend Paul and UFI to anyone looking for an exceptional personal training experience.

Before I went to Utah Fitness Institute, I was intimidated by one-on-one training. Not anymore! Paul is a great trainer and the space is perfect for personal training. He introduced me to equipment I wasn't quite sure how to use before - cables, bands, medicine balls, and mostly my own body weight! Paul pushes me to go out of my comfort zone, but in a safe way using correct technique. I would recommend Paul and UFI to people of all experience levels.

Paul Daniels, owner of Utah Fitness Institute, has been the best trainer I've ever had. He is very knowledgeable and was able to diagnose issues with my movement and strength and work with me to target those areas to improve my overall fitness. I feel stronger, leaner, and more fit after working with him. His well-equipped gym is a welcoming and comfortable place to workout. I'd highly recommend to anyone else looking for a legitimate training experience.

Paul is amazing, he tailors the workout to fit your body and needs. I have a permanent injury in my left leg and he's worked around my issues so I still get a great workout. He is very motivating and helps push me to where I don't think I can do it, but he's right every time and I can do it. Working out with a personal trainer can be very intimidating at first, but not with Paul. He has a way of making you feel at ease and is motivational and full of excellent advise. Plus, he has a great sense of humor, which never hurts. :) Highly, highly recommended!

Utah Fitness Institute has exceeded my expectations. Paul takes care to understand your goals and then he and his awesome team tailor your training to meet these goals. He loves debunking common myths and applies science to finding solutions. I definitely recommend UFI.
