Meet Your Coach


My name is Eric Paddock, and I built EP Fitness on one simple belief: everyone deserves access to real, effective personal training. With almost a decade in the fitness industry, I’ve helped hundreds of clients reach their goals bodybuilding, weight loss, strength gain, recovering confidence after injury, and even helping clients with CP learn to move without pain. I’m a CSEP–NAIT certified trainer with additional NASM corrective exercise credentials, and before becoming a full-time coach, I was a professional MMA fighter. After a coma left me with permanent lung damage and forced me to leave that career behind, I found my purpose in helping others reach their fullest potential. That experience shaped my people-first mentality and the passion I bring into every session. I don’t cut corners and I don’t believe in shortcuts just honest, supportive, no-BS personal training built to deliver real results for real people.

When I'm not at the gym or with clients I'm a happy father and husband who enjoys his family time
