Meet Austin Paulhus, a personal trainer in Reno

Austin Paulhus is the founder of his coaching practice, working as a Performance Coach, Nutrition Coach, and Corrective Exercise Specialist. Before coaching, he competed at the highest level of college athletics as a Division I football player and team captain at the University of Nevada, Reno.

That experience taught him what it actually takes to perform under pressure: discipline, adaptability, and focus. Now he applies that same mindset to helping everyday people and athletes in Reno reach their goals, whether that means losing weight, getting stronger, or training for a specific event.

Austin's approach is rooted in function first. He builds programs around how the body is meant to move, not just how it looks, which is a key part of his philosophy as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and functional training coach.

Austin Paulhus's training specialties and experience

Austin brings 5 years of experience to his coaching, with a specific focus on three areas:

Weight loss. Austin combines training and nutrition coaching to help clients lose weight in a sustainable way, not through quick fixes.

Strength training. Drawing on his own athletic background, Austin builds strength programs that translate into real-world performance and everyday resilience.

Functional training. As a Corrective Exercise Specialist, Austin designs movement patterns that improve how your body works as a whole, helping prevent injury while building strength that carries into daily life.

His certifications back up this approach. As a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, and Corrective Exercise Specialist, Austin is equipped to address training, nutrition, and movement quality together rather than in isolation.

This combination makes him a strong fit for two types of clients: athletes and hybrid competitors preparing for events like HYROX, DEKA, or endurance races, and everyday individuals in Reno who want a smarter, more structured approach to weight loss and fitness.
