Founding Director Paul Chivers established Motiv8 in 1994. From the early age of 15 Paul would travel around Australia with his father, a successful business consultant assisting with practical training programs designed to develop team work.

Paul slowly developed his skills and knowledge by studying a bachelor of health science in human movement which enabled him to create his own unique activities and programs. Paul continued to work with his father until tragically he passed away.

Paul drew strength from this adversity knowing what his father had taught his clients “in business and in life, everything happens for a reason, it’s the people that take from the experience and move forward that succeed.”

Paul adapted this philosophy to his programs and continued to explore new ideas and develop Motiv8, forming an alliance with The Edge Adventure Sports Pty Ltd one of Australia’s leading indoor/outdoor adventure companies. Motiv8 expanded its programs to incorporate the resources available through this new partnership.

Paul went on to graduate from his degree and continued to educate himself, later going on to complete a Diploma in business management and team leadership. Paul now has a certificate IV both in professional personal training and as a trainer and assessor and specialises in integrated corrective exercise and Myofascial Therapy. Paul is currently studying for his CPRM in risk management.

This education and experience has enabled Motiv8 to grow and resource an elite team of over 25 specialist instructors, facilitators and trainers that service clients around the world.
