Paula DeMichele

Gym Manager & Chair Fit Coach

Been with Ten Count for over 10 years as a volunteer then staff, watching my sons grow from strength to strength. They inspired me to become an England boxing coach and gain my level 3 Youth worker diploma.

Because our team holds various certificates, degrees, diplomas and life experience it allows us to facilitate various activities and classes making us a very unique centre. I coach the ChairFit classes and gym management duties. We are so much more than just a gym!
