CUSTOMIZED AND RESULTS-DRIVEN COACHING
Take the guesswork out of strength training and nutrition.
Helping the world live through fitness—not for it.
At Paul Buono Fitness, losing weight, building muscle, and getting strong serves a purpose far beyond the gym. It’s our goal to give people over 35 the tools they need to not just look better but feel better—without it feeling like a second full-time job.
No empty promises. Just sustainable approaches that deliver results when conventional methods have failed.
Rooted Coaching
Whether you're a parent, busy professional, former athlete, or navigating a health challenge—I want to help you become the strongest version of yourself.
Remember when your body just worked? When you could play a pick-up game, hit the trails, or keep up with toddlers without feeling exhausted or in pain for days?
I built Rooted, my flagship coaching program, to help people over 35 lose weight, build muscle, and get stronger—without fitness taking over your life.
It's individualized coaching that tackles fitness, nutrition, and lifestyle with a buttload of accountability and support built in. The best part? It meets you exactly where you are—no generalized template programs or a one-size-fits-all mindset.
We work with what you got and take you to where you want to go.

Accountability & Support
Getting results isn't about information. It's about learning to take consistent action. That's why accountability and support are the backbone of our coaching relationship.
The fitness industry let me down, too.
I know what it feels like to be let down by the fitness industry.
I know what it feels like to be broken from chasing unrealistic standards.
I know what it feels like to not get the help I need—and deserve.
…but I also know what it feels like to not accept that as an answer and figure out how to keep moving forward.
When a Lupus diagnosis and emergency heart surgery forced me to confront my own body’s limitations, I discovered something crucial…
The standard fitness industry approach doesn’t work for many of us.
The constant push to “do it all” or “be perfect” sets you up for failure in the long run.
That realization transformed how I coach. I don’t just write you workouts or a boring meal plan—I help you build a sustainable relationship with fitness and nutrition to help you look, feel, and move better.
