What makes them tick?
Paolo is a Coach/ Personal Trainer/ Handyman/ Mr.Fixit at Crossfit Cavaliers. He started his fitness career in Manila, later on gravitating to Group instruction with Les Mills classes. After a decade of presenting internationally and teaching for the big chain gyms, he decided to focus on a more personal approach to helping people become better versions of themselves through personal training.
CrossFit was an exciting new world for him because it melded elements of weightlifting and community that he found lacking in big group fitness classes. Personally, he found his own peaks in his own performance when he embraced more of the CrossFit methodology into his own training. That was back in 2014.
Paolo is a certified Personal Trainer with AIF in Australia. Master trainer for EKI kettle bell training and Bulgarian Bags. Certified in various tools for PT like TRX, ViPR, BOSU. In a previous life, he was a Presenter and Trainer for Les Mills programs like Body Pump, Body Balance , Body Jam and RPM for Les Mills Taiwan and Les Mills Asia Pacific. He has over a decade of experience in the fitness industry and has always been about helping people change for the better. For him, results matter a lot, but the relationships you build with the people you train matter just as much.

Clare is an Owner and Personal Trainer at CrossFit Cavaliers! Clare has CrossFit Level 2 Trainer certification and was a CrossFit judge at the 2013 Asia Regional CrossFit competition in Seoul, Korea and 2016 Pacific Regional competition in Sydney, Australia . Clare previously lived the life of many young Hong Kong professionals – long working hours in the financial services industry, after work socialising and not much time for the gym. In 2012, she discovered CrossFit which proved life-changing. Clare quickly fell in love with the variety of workouts and developing her strength. Evenings in Soho were exchanged for working out with friends, learning new skills and trying to improve on previous workout times. Clare knows what it takes to make fitness gains in and out of the gym. She has a talent for setting targets for clients to achieve their goals, particularly for helping girls get their first pull-up! She often works with clients who, at first, are unable to squat or do a push up with a full range of motion. After a few sessions with Clare, the same clients achieve their goals and find motivation, strength and determination. She is mature and her experiences in her own fitness journey, is a valuable tool in relating to the people that she trains. |
What i love most about coaching is “being able to help people make adjustments in movements and strategy, so that they get most out of their workouts!
Its a really rewarding thing to watch athletes do things in life that they never dreamed possible. The look on their faces when they PR their first pull up is why i do this. Its amazing thing to be part of!!
