Q&A with Paul Edmonson: Core-Tex Master Trainer

Paul Edmondson on the Groundbreaking Benefits of Core-Tex and His Role as a UK Master Trainer.

Paul Edmondson, a fitness professional with over 22 years of experience, is a well-respected name in the health and fitness education industry. As the UK Core-Tex Master Trainer, Paul works closely with Ethics Leisure to ensure high standards of training and product awareness for Core-Tex across the country. We sat down with Paul to discuss his journey, his involvement with Core-Tex, and what sets the product apart in the fitness world.

A Journey Through Fitness and Education

With a diverse background in fitness, Paul started his career as a personal trainer (PT) and group exercise instructor. He spent the first 10 years in hands-on roles before transitioning to full-time education-based work. Over the last 12 years, he has focused on teaching and mentoring fitness professionals, working with companies like VIPR, Stick Mobility, TRX, and Hyperice. He is also associated with The Gray Institute, a leader in rehabilitation training.

Paul’s educational journey began with business and finance studies, followed by a PT qualification, which set the foundation for his continued professional development (CPD). He now works with several renowned institutions, including T2Fitness, Bournemouth University, and the Ultimate Fitness Academy. His core areas of expertise span gym instruction, personal training, sports massage therapy, and exercise referral.

Becoming a Core-Tex Master Trainer

Paul’s rise to becoming a Core-Tex Master Trainer came from his commitment to elevating standards in the fitness industry. Starting with Premier Training, Paul networked with influential figures, which led to his opportunity with Core-Tex. His role as the Uk Master Trainer will see Paul educating fitness professionals on the innovative Core-Tex platform, ensuring they understand its unique value in both one-on-one and group training settings.

An Interactive Teaching Approach

When it comes to teaching, Paul prides himself on being interactive and engaging. He avoids traditional PowerPoint presentations, preferring to teach with a more hands-on, whiteboard-based approach. His goal is to simplify complex content and make it accessible to all levels of learners. Mentorship is also central to Paul’s philosophy, as he believes in helping trainers and tutors develop their skills and knowledge over time.

What Makes Core-Tex Stand Out?

So, what sets Core-Tex apart from other fitness tools? According to Paul, it’s all about variability. Core-Tex offers something truly different from traditional platforms like the Bosu. While it shares some similarities, Core-Tex goes beyond just balance training. Its 3-dimensional mobility, strength, and reactive training capabilities make it a groundbreaking tool for both functional fitness and rehabilitation.

“The secret sauce of Core-Tex,” Paul explains, “is its ability to provide mobility and strength training in a way that feels natural and functional.” This makes it not just a tool for balance, but a versatile product that can cater to a wide range of fitness needs, from rehab to advanced functional training.

For clubs, Core-Tex offers the chance to enhance their existing programs with a fresh, innovative platform that can be used in one-on-one sessions or group settings. Paul emphasises that Core-Tex is much more than just an unstable surface—it’s a product that helps users engage in dynamic, multi-planar movement, leading to better overall mobility and strength. 

The Future of Core-Tex in the UK

As Paul continues his work with Ethics Leisure, he is committed to increasing awareness of Core-Tex across the UK. Through regular training sessions and mentorship, Paul is ensuring that fitness professionals understand the full potential of this innovative tool, helping them bring a new level of functional fitness to their clients.

With its unique benefits and versatility, Core-Tex is poised to make a significant impact on fitness clubs across the UK, offering a new and exciting way to approach functional training, mobility, and strength development.
