Let’s help some busy parents take care of themselves.
We do so much for others it’s vital we get to take care of ourselves. So from next Tuesday at the Jacob javits playground exercise area at fort Tyron park on Fort Washington avenue in Washington heights, I will be looking to make a positive impact. Come and move your body, we will move together, build strength and new community. When we move better, we feel better, and when we feel better we can do better for our family’s. Feel free to message me with any questions. We will start with simple movement and banded exercises before we progress. As I see people move I can start to tailor exercises for each individual so progress is always made. Spaces will be limited so I can better tend to the group.
There is a very easy booking link in my bio ❤️

I’m Paul, originally from Dublin and now a longtime New Yorker. I’ve been working as a personal trainer and strength coach for more than 15 years, and Train Better Faster grew out of a very simple belief: movement is medicine.
Over the years, I’ve learned that good coaching isn’t about giving everyone the same workout or constantly chasing the newest exercise. It’s about paying attention to the person standing in front of you.
I watch how you move, how you breathe and where you may be stiff, uncomfortable or lacking confidence. From there, we work on restoring movement, building strength and gradually increasing what your body is capable of doing.
I coach the person, not the program.
I’m also a dad, and I understand how easy it is for work, family and everyday life to push your own health further down the list. You don’t have to become an athlete or live in the gym. Sometimes you just need someone in your corner, some accountability and a sensible place to start.
That’s what I want Train Better Faster to be for people in my community — a place to move better, get stronger and feel better, one session at a time.

Want stronger shoulders? Earn the weight before you press it.

Today my client hit 5 single-arm overhead presses with 50 lbs on each side.

But we didn’t start with the press.

We started by carrying 54 lb kettlebells in each hand.

Why?

Because before I ask someone to press a heavy weight overhead, I want their body to become comfortable holding and controlling that kind of load.

First, we build the grip.
We build the spine.
We build the posture.
And most importantly, we build trust, safety and confidence under load.

Then we start asking questions:

Can you hold the weight?

Can you carry it?

Can you get it safely into the rack position?

Can you control it at the shoulder?

And finally…

Can you put it overhead?

We went single arm first — 5 right, 5 left — using the free hand as a spotting hand when needed.

That gives you another layer of safety and confidence while your body learns the movement.

Once both sides can own the weight independently, then we can start thinking about putting 50 lbs in both hands and pressing together.

Strength doesn’t have to be rushed.

Build tolerance → build trust → build confidence → then build strength.

Give the body enough successful experiences under load and eventually it starts saying:

“I’ve got this.”

That’s how we Train Better Faster. 💪

HOW TO GET FIT FAST: START SKIPPING. 🥊🔥

If you want to get fit, you don’t need to overcomplicate it.

Start with 3 minutes of skipping.

Three minutes. Unbroken. Every time you train.

Skipping builds your cardiovascular base while developing rhythm, timing, coordination and footwork. It strengthens your feet, challenges your posture and teaches your whole body to work together.

And the best part?

In just 3 minutes, your heart rate is up, your body is warm, your feet are awake, your breathing is working and you’re ready to train.

That’s why I keep coming back to it.

3 minutes is the standard.

Can’t do three minutes yet? Good. You’ve got something simple to work toward.

Start with 30 seconds. Build to 60. Then 90. Keep going until you own the full three minutes.

No complicated fitness test.
No fancy equipment.
Just you, a rope and three minutes.

How fit are you? Grab a rope and find out.

Move better. Feel better. Train Better Faster.

Shoulders, upper neck, dips and chins. This is consistency and just good strength training.

You can be strong. You can look fit. But how good is your engine? ❤️🫁
Building a strong heart and lungs should be one of the foundations of your fitness—not an afterthought.
The good news is you don’t need to make it complicated.
Pick a bike, rower, or SkiErg. Set the clock for 5 minutes and see where you stand.
🎯 Baseline goal:
Men: 50+ calories
Women: 35+ calories
Hit the standard? Great. Now see how far above it you can go.
Not there yet? You’ve got your next goal.
Try the 5-minute test this week and drop your score in the comments. 👇
Then tag someone you want to challenge to beat it.
Build your engine. Train Better. Faster.

Better movement = better training. 💪

We’re not just chasing reps. We’re working on mobility, control, and getting the body moving the way it should.

Small improvements in how you move can make a BIG difference in how you train. 🔥

🔥 100 REPS FOR A STRONGER CORE 🔥

5 moves. 20 reps each. 100 total reps! 💯

1️⃣ Legs In — 20 reps
2️⃣ Schownso
3️⃣ Heel Touches — 20 reps
Left + right = 1 rep
4️⃣ Touch the Ground, Touch the Sky — 20 reps
5️⃣ Toe Touches — 20 reps 🔥

If 20 reps straight is too much, break it up into 2 rounds of 10 reps for each exercise.

Take your time, control each movement, and keep that core working!

5 moves × 20 reps = 100 reps for a stronger core. 💪🔥

Save it. Try it. Let me know how your core feels after! 😤
