Welcome to Pavel Fitness Studios. Your source for Results Driven Personal Training

"The success of the "The Biggest Loser" show has allowed personal trainers with a sadistic streak. I note that the personal trainers that serve up this type of torture with such nonchalance and ease never engage in this type of training in their own workouts"--Marty Gallagher

Hallelujah Mr. Gallagher, we couldn't agree more. No pain, no gain is not how we train our clients at Pavel Fitness Studios. If you drop a weight on your foot are you going to gain anything from that? No. The secret ingredient to making gains is to stay out of pain while you're training. Your nervous system doesn't like pain and will avoid it at all costs. That's why so many people fail at exercise programs. They start out too vigorously, get hurt and quit. Their body is just trying to protect itself. Survival is your body's number one priority. When you overdo it, your body produces pain signals warning you not to overdo it again, or else. If you ignore these pain signals, you will get injured. There goes all your hard work and dreams of washboard abs.

That's where we come in. We'll teach you how to train your body and your nervous system without pain and injury. Your body's survival comes first. That means safe, progressive, productive and sane personally customized, monitored training and nutrition programs based on your unique neurology. Your body, your nervous system, your results, pain free.

Upcoming 2012 Pavel Fitness Community Education Courses

As the Physical Fitness/Health Coordinator for the City of St. Paul Police Department, I am always looking for new ways
to challenge our officers to be fit. After attending an introduction to kettlebell training at a local college, I knew kettlebells would be a great way for our officers to get and stay fit.
I met Joe Pavel and we brought him in to hold classes for our officers. He is an excellent instructor, very patient with people new to kettlebells and thorough in his instruction. He is very knowledgeable and I would recommend training with kettlebells for anyone and recommend Joe Pavel highly as an instructor.
