Build It In Workshop Series
Session Details
You Have Not Been Failing. You Have Been Guessing.
​
Most people who struggle with their health are not lacking effort. They are lacking information. The right information — specific to their body, their numbers, their life — changes everything. That is what the Total Body Mastery Series is built to deliver.
​
These five workshops are the educational foundation of everything Paula teaches at PHF. Used every day as teachable moments inside 1:1 sessions and group classes, they are now available as standalone one-hour sessions — for existing clients who want to go deeper, and for anyone who wants to start understanding their body before ever stepping into training.
Information becomes transformation only when it is lived, daily, for 90 days.
Five Topics. One Hour. Every Answer Free.
​​
Below is the full breakdown of what each session covers and the questions Paula addresses in each one. Read through and choose the session that speaks most directly to where you are right now. Or register for all five — each one stands completely on its own.
All sessions are held in-person at Paula Henry Fitness in Rowley, MA. Registration is required so Paula knows who’s coming and can prepare for the specific questions in the room.​
Hydration Mastery — Fuel Your Body, Fuel Your Life
Most people have been told to drink eight glasses of water a day. That number was never based on your body. It was based on an average that doesn’t apply to most people — and for anyone over 125 lbs who is active, it isn’t enough. In this session Paula gives you your actual number, explains why it changes with activity, and answers every hydration question you’ve been carrying.
What Paula Covers
-
How to calculate your personal daily water target based on body weight and activity level
-
Why hydration directly affects metabolism, energy, strength, and recovery
-
How your needs change on rest days, active days, and training days
-
The connection between dehydration and weight loss resistance
-
How to make proper hydration a permanent, automatic daily habit
Common Questions This Session Addresses
-
How much water do I actually need for my size and activity level?
-
Why am I always tired even when I sleep enough?
-
Does coffee or tea count toward my daily water intake?
-
Why do I retain water when I drink more?
-
Why do I never feel thirsty — does that mean I’m already hydrated?
Mastering Your Metabolism - Fueling Your Body for Peak Performance
Your metabolism is not broken. It is responding exactly as it should to the information you’ve been giving it. The problem is that most people have been giving it the wrong information — eating too little, eating at the wrong times, not understanding what their body actually needs. In this session Paula walks you through your BMR, explains total daily calorie need, and shows you how meal timing affects fat burning all day long.
What Paula Covers
-
How to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) — the calories your body needs at complete rest
-
How to calculate your total daily calorie need based on waking hours and activity
-
Why meal timing is as important as what you eat — and how to use it strategically
-
How muscle mass drives your metabolic rate and why building it changes everything
-
Which foods support your metabolism and which quietly work against it
Common Questions This Session Addresses
-
Why am I not losing weight even though I’m eating less?
-
What does my body actually need to eat in a day?
-
Does skipping meals help or hurt my metabolism?
-
Why do I lose weight and then gain it all back?
-
Is my metabolism actually slow, or is something else going on?
Mastering Life’s Stressors - Harnessing Your Inner Power
Stress is not just a feeling. It is a physical load your body carries — and it affects everything from your weight to your sleep to your ability to recover from exercise. When the load gets too heavy, the body protects itself. It holds weight. It resists change. It stalls progress. In this session Paula introduces your Lifestyle Framework and helps you see what your body has been managing without your knowing.
What Paula Covers
-
The four categories of the Lifestyle Framework: environmental, physical, mental, and emotional stressors
-
How these stressors load the same system — and why managing one without the others rarely works
-
How chronic stress directly prevents fat loss and disrupts recovery from training
-
Practical tools for managing your stress load before it escalates to burnout
-
The role of rest and recovery in maintaining long-term resilience
Common Questions This Session Addresses
-
Why do I gain weight when I’m stressed even if I’m eating the same?
-
Why am I always exhausted even though I’m not doing that much?
-
Why does my progress stop every time life gets busy?
-
How do I know if I’m burned out or just tired?
-
How do I recover faster between workouts when life is demanding?
Mastering Your Heart Rate - Unlocking the Power of Steady-State
Most people who do cardio are working too hard. They push into intensity zones that burn carbohydrates and muscle — not fat — and then wonder why the scale isn’t moving. The answer is not more effort. It is smarter effort, in the right zone. In this session Paula explains the three heart rate zones, shows you how to find your personal fat-burning zone, and answers your questions about cardio and training intensity.
What Paula Covers
-
The three heart rate zones: fat burning (steady-state), carbohydrate burning, and anaerobic
-
How to calculate your personal fat-burning zone based on age and fitness level
-
Why steady-state cardio is the most effective zone for sustained fat loss
-
How to stay in your fat-burning zone during exercise — and throughout daily life
-
How to build a heart rate training approach that supports long-term results
Common Questions This Session Addresses
-
Why am I doing cardio every day but not losing weight?
-
What heart rate should I be training at for fat loss?
-
Is it better to go slow and steady or push hard?
-
Why do I feel exhausted after cardio instead of energized?
-
How do I know what zone I’m actually in without a heart rate monitor?
Mastering Pain Thresholds & Body Harmony
Pain is not the enemy. Pain is information. It is your body telling you that something needs attention — and the difference between a disruption and an injury determines everything about how you respond. In this session Paula teaches you the disruption-injury distinction, explains what your body is actually telling you, and answers the pain and movement questions most people have been carrying for years without a clear answer.
What Paula Covers
-
The difference between a disruption (manageable, reversible) and an injury (requiring medical attention)
-
How to listen to what your body is telling you — and respond correctly
-
The deep stabilising muscles closest to the bone and why they are the foundation of pain-free movement
-
How Paula’s 20 years of massage therapy training informs every hands-on assessment
-
How to build strength from the inside out — safely, without aggravating existing issues
Common Questions This Session Addresses
-
How do I know if my pain is serious or something I can work through?
-
Why does my back/hip/shoulder keep going out even after I rest it?
-
I’ve been told my pain is just aging — is that true?
-
What exercises are safe for someone with my issues?
-
Can I train with chronic pain, or do I need to wait until it’s gone?
