How BioAge Fitness testing began

BioAge was developed by Paul Taylor, one of Australia's leading fitness educators and international presenters.  As Director of The Human Performance Institute and The Personal Training Academy, Paul has lots of contact with Gyms, Health Clubs and Personal Trainers. He soon realised the need for a comprehensive health and fitness assessment that could also be a powerful motivational tool for behavior change. Paul then set about designing The Biological Age Test (Clinical Version) that could measure Biological Age and give high quality, targeted health information direct to the client. Feedback from Gym chains and trainers encouraged Paul to also develop a more basic assessment (Standard Version) that could be used as a baseline test for all gym users.

A former Royal Navy Aircrew Officer, Paul is an accredited and practicing Exercise Physiologist and Nutritionist. He has combined his years of University training with his interests in neuro-science & quantum physics to develop an integrated approach to health and well-being that he calls Scientific Holism, evidence based holistic health that integrates both the physical and mental components of the self.

In addition to his extensive background in health and fitness, Paul has a proven track record in leadership, management and dealing in high-pressure situations, through his roles as an Airborne Anti-submarine Warfare Officer and a Helicopter Search-And-Rescue Navigator with the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. He has also undergone rigorous survival and resistance-to-interrogation training which, when combined with his knowledge of physiology, makes him a true expert in stress and its effects on both body and brain.

He also runs high-performance programs for some of the top executives of the National Australia Bank through the Corporate Health section of this site.

Paul has been invited to present at the inaugural Meeting of the Minds, an International event held in Denver, Colorado, that brings together the top 26 Health & Fitness Educators in the World.
