DreamBody Training

I love Paul Anthony as a whole personal trainer. Who is not only about a workout but a whole body, mind, and a transformation for life.
He motivates, encourages and challenges me every time. He has the right words to cheer me up and the perfect workouts to keep this mom of two strong for her daughters and work. He is a very knowledgeable trainer. The best trainer!!! So good that I have been with him for 6 years and counting. Yazmin P.

Paul Anthony has a reputation for being the best for a reason. I started training with him at the end of January 2019 to help me prepare for my first fitness competition in June. He has been guiding me through the entire process - nutrition, workouts, posing practice, and just as importantly, setting the mind right. I am thrilled with my progress in just eight weeks and can't wait to see what the next ten weeks will bring. Paul's energy and positive attitude make him a great trainer and person.

I have known Paul for 6 plus years and he has inspired me to be better. Not only does Paul help you get better physically. He also provides you with the right mindset to help you create lasting change and demand more from yourself.

Follow his program and his advice and you will get results. It is really up to you how fast that happens because you have all the tools. He will provide you with the motivation as well!!

If you are looking for a trainer to help you be better Paul is the guy! He is award winning coach and trainer that brings it every day. Thanks Paul for helping me be better!

contacted Paul Anthony to hire him as my personal trainer. He seemed convincing and professional at first, so I agreed to pay $2,100 upfront for 12 sessions. He scheduled my first session for 5:00 PM the next day.

When I arrived at his gym, it was closed and required a fob key — which he never provided. I waited outside for nearly 1.5 hours. I called and messaged him multiple times with no response. Only after two hours did he call me back, asking where I was, with no apology for missing the session or leaving me stranded.

As someone with over 10 years of experience in fitness and competition, I immediately realized this was not someone I could trust with my time, money, or fitness goals. When I asked for a refund, he became extremely rude and unprofessional, refusing to return any of the money.

I gave him a final warning to return the funds within 10 hours or I’d escalate the matter. Only then did he send the refund — not out of professionalism, but fear.

I do not recommend Paul Anthony, especially for serious athletes or anyone genuinely committed to transformation. Save your time, money, and energy. Look for someone who respects your goals and values your time.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Paul Anthony at Dreambody in Calgary. After paying over $6,000 for a 6-month program (not including hidden fees), I expected personalized attention and guidance, but that was far from what I received. The nutrition plan was a basic copy of the Isogenics diet, and the workout plans were generic templates divided into stages 1, 2, and 3—not tailored to my needs or fitness level at all.

Every client is different, and a good trainer should understand that. I explained to Paul early on that I’m motivated by positive reinforcement, but this wasn’t his style. Instead, I was met with constant negative comments that left me feeling deflated. He even tried to force my body to perform techniques that I simply couldn’t do due to my L4-L5-S1 spine, which no longer has the mobility required for those movements. His lack of understanding and disregard for my individual limitations was not only frustrating but unsafe.

Over the course of four months, I didn’t have a single weigh-in or progress update. The sessions themselves were only three days a week—roughly 15 days a month—which made the lack of communication and personalization even more frustrating. By the third month, I was barely attending because I felt worse going to his gym than I did working out at home.

Paul also promotes himself as a top posing coach, but I later learned from other competitors and coaches that he had been coaching me incorrectly for my class. His attention seems to go only to clients he thinks will make him look good, and the rest are left on autopilot.

To top it off, his social media presence is more about self-promotion than client support, with constant videos of himself or clients pressured into praising him on Instagram.

I can’t recommend Paul Anthony or Dreambody. The lack of customization, unprofessional attitude, and disregard for my needs left me feeling worse than when I started. Save your time, money, and energy.
