Paul Poon

With years of dedicated experience coaching fitness and running enthusiasts across all age groups, I understand that every individual has unique needs and goals. My mission is to leverage this extensive expertise to deliver highly effective, personalized training programs that not only elevate your athletic performance but also prioritize injury prevention—keeping you active and progressing for the long term. Poor movement patterns and biomechanics are among the leading causes of sports injuries. Exceptional technique is built upon a solid foundation of strength and conditioning. Without adequate cardiovascular endurance or muscular strength, your body becomes vulnerable to setbacks. That's why my approach follows a proven hierarchy: safe training first, injury prevention second, and performance optimization third. Credentials & Expertise: • Pose Method Certified Running Coach (Level 1 & 2) — specialized in efficient, injury-free running mechanics • AASFP Certified Distance Running Instructor • AASFP Advanced Personal Trainer Certification • AASFP Nutrition and Weight Management Certification • Physiotherapist Assistant Certification (City University) • Team Salomon Hong Kong Sponsored Athlete (2013–2023) Competitive Experience: I've competed in premier endurance events worldwide, including HK100, Oxfam Trailwalker, The North Face races, TransLantau 100, UTMF (Ultra-Trail Mt. Fuji), and UTCT (Ultra-Trail Cape Town). My competitive achievements include three consecutive championship titles in the 12km category at the NPO Challenge (2017–2019). Whether you're beginning your fitness journey or preparing for your next ultra, I'll help you build the resilient body and smart training habits you need to reach your goals—safely and sustainably.
