PETR PAVLOV
PERSONAL TRAINER
ABOUT PETR
Born in Siberia, Russia, Petr studied classical ballet and Russian folk dancing from the age of seven to fourteen. Identified for his talent, he then went to Moscow for further training in modern and jazz dance. At the age of 17, he moved to Sydney to continue with full time performing arts followed by five years of professional dancing throughout the USA and Europe.
​
Following a major lower back injury and a year of rehabilitation, Petr developed a keen interest in learning about the body holistically and how it functions. Thus began a passion for exercise and fitness. He qualified as a Master Trainer with Cert 4 in Fitness and started working at Fitness First. Further study continued with the CHEK Institute, HLC1 and 2 and Exercise Coach qualifications where he learnt how to assess the body, about posture, range of motion and nutrition.
Today, with over 20 years in the fitness industry, Petr brings to his personal training a highly effective combination of the technique and discipline of his early years and the latest knowledge and methods of modern health, fitness and exercise training.
His clients range from age 16 to 89, including those who first came to him with an injury or limited movement, those wanting to lose weight and improve their fitness and professional athletes and sports people.
His sessions are highly personalised with the aim being to achieve optimal results for every client.

TESTIMONIALS
When I met Petr 6 years ago, I lived my life with severe and constant nerve pain which affected my muscular skeletal system and mental health. I couldn’t carry out basic day to day activities. I had visited numerous specialists and took part in personalised Pilates classes. I found the majority of specialists only worked inside their speciality and found my case too difficult. I felt alone. Then I met Petr and have worked with him on a weekly basis ever since. Petr’s motto is “you can always improve yourself”. Petr truly understands how the body is connected and wants to help you achieve your goals. He has assisted me by teaching me self help techniques such as personalised stretches and mobilisations, strengthening work, nutrition to improve gut health and muscle function and has also assisted with removing knots and scar tissue by remedial massage and cupping. I now have someone working with me, helping improve my mental strength and quality of life. Thank you Petr!
Sharon Jones, North Curl Curl
I hadn’t done a formal exercise program in a long time and needed to improve my fitness. I also had serious shoulder tightness and wanted to learn strategies to fix this.
The pain was becoming a real issue and getting in the way of everyday movement.
​
Petr taught me a range of stretches and exercises that I could use at home to assist with stretching and mobility. It’s amazing how small changes can really improve how you feel day to day.
I would highly recommend Petr to anyone - he has such a wealth of knowledge, and the diversity of strategies he uses to achieve what you want to achieve is incredible.

I wanted to lose weight and get fit and a friend highly recommended Petr. I was not disappointed. He carried out a full assessment of my middle-aged body and devised a clear program which I could also follow at home. From the start, he was only satisfied with the best technique and I always remember how he said to me "No-one gets injured on my watch."
My weekly sessions with Petr are not only demanding to the right level but constantly varied and fun. He also has an uncanny knack of knowing which muscles are tight and always knows how to fix them! My husband was so impressed with my progress he now sees Petr every week too!
Amanda Durack, 57, Mosman NSW
In the four years that I have been going to Petr for a weekly session he has completely transformed my agility, strength and posture for the better. As a result, my surfing, golf and general wellbeing have markedly improved. I feel greatly indebted to him for this achievement.
Petr’s practical knowledge about how to develop and correct the body according to an individual’s needs and aspirations is extensive. It has been acquired through wide experience of dance, exercise and training.
He sets the perfect tone for instruction and encouragement – testing limits, from which confidence is gained, and recognising when the occasion calls for recovery or stretching.
All of this is conveyed with good humour and total support.
He has my full confidence as a personal trainer. Without reservation, I highly recommend him.

I have been supported by Petr for over 10 years. I am so grateful that my late dad ‘forced’ me to see him over a decade ago because I am now the healthiest I have ever been. I am stronger, 10kg lighter and have avoided the health issues I was facing. Petr is incredibly professional and continues to help me get the best out of exercise, nutrition, and well being. Petr has the theory and personal practical experience. He works hard and I do appreciate his focus on discipline – to do things the right way and to get long term fulfillment and results.
Richard Verschoor, 49, Fairlight, Sydney
I am a 78 year old retired accountant. Until I started seeing Petr Pavlov twice a week 10 years ago, I had never attended a gym and never had a personal trainer, let alone an exercise coach. I like the way Petr gives me his undivided attention - no chatting with other people, making phone calls or texting etc - he is solely engaged in monitoring my performance.
Petr constantly revises my exercises so it is never boring. My objectives include to have the level of flexibility and ease of movement of a much younger man so I can enjoy my twilight years and still move about and travel. I seek not so much a body beautiful as a body with stability to avoid injury and falls, and if I did fall, have sufficient muscle to protect my bones.
I need, and Petr provides, a positive and cheerful attitude to life.
Peter S.
I am a 78yr old grandmother, who in earlier years was actively playing golf, tennis and sailing. Seven years ago I had a spinal haemorrhage which left my legs partially disabled.
After 6 months in RNSH/Rehab. and still in a wheelchair, I arranged to visit Petr Pavlov to improve my ability to walk. I continue to see Petr for exercise & strengthening exercises twice a week, and am now only using a walking stick.
I would not be walking today without his professionalism, his care and expertise on how the body works, and his attention to detail.
I thoroughly recommend Petr to you.
Carolann S
I met Petr 10 years ago after a DNF (did not finish) in a 100km event. Petr started working with me as my health coach and significantly improved my stability, strength and mobility. So much so that I have since completed 8 Ultra Marathon events, and a number of normal marathons. His knowledge and expertise not only kept me on the road, but helped improved me year on year. I would recommend him to any serious (and not so serious) athlete who wants to improve their performance.
