One of Australia’s most experienced and respected Fitness Industry leaders and consultants, Paul Brown has devoted his life to improving the health, fitness and wellbeing of others while also guiding fitness business owners to achieving maximum success and reward for their risk and efforts. A fitness professional since 1981, he is known globally as Mr Retention for his visionary and proven approach to solving the membership attrition epidemic. In 1996 he invented and systemised the new member onboarding journey with his Face to Face Fitness and Retention Systems, which he and his team implemented in gyms and groups of all sizes all over the world for the next 25 years. Along the way he also presented at several hundreds of international fitness conferences, often as the Keynote Speaker. The COVID pandemic ended Paul’s travels and so he and his son Ben launched Paradise Fitness Clubs in Queensland, which quickly gained recognition, winning Queensland’s Best Independent Fitness Business in 2023 and Australia’s Best Independent Fitness Business at the AUSactive National Awards in 2024.That highly profitable and popular club is also the laboratory for Paul’s next big fitness training invention, providing unprecedented exercise variety in a highly space-efficient footprint.
