Hear from people who have transformed their lives through mental fitness training with Dr. Paul Wood.
A few days ago I felt my mood shift dramatically and was anxious about the dark thoughts I was having. I referred to my mental fitness notes. I woke the next day, exhausted after a poor sleep, but with a determination I’d never felt before. I managed a full day at work, meeting with clients in a worse place than me, and guess what… they filled up my tank. I had a light bulb moment …..finally after all these years, I have felt resilience, and how liberating that is I cannot begin to explain. Usually I would hide from the world, but I thought, f@#k it….I’m facing this head on, and I won. Today I got up at 5am and went to the gym, then watched my son play soccer….all the time, my tank was filling up. Without wanting to sound dramatic, mental fitness has changed my life.”

Your step-by-step guide for all things resilience and mental toughness. On the Mental Fitness Course you will learn how to:
Mental fitness is made up of resilience, mental toughness, grit, and wellbeing. All of these can be proactively increased in the same way aspects of physical fitness can be increased. Understanding the ways in which mental and physical fitness are similar will help you better understand your emotional experiences and thrive.
People often talk about stress as if it is always negative. Yet humans experience stress because it helps us take on tough challenges and pursue our potential. Learn about stress so that it helps rather than hurts you.
Taking time everyday to apply tools from this course is one of the most effective ways to improve mental strength. You can feel in control, better able to manage your emotions, and happier with your life.
Life is full of challenges and things often don’t go according to our plans or hopes. You can learn how to be more flexible and resilient when the unexpected happens. Feel equiped for whatever comes your way.
As you get mentally fitter you will be able to cope more effectively with stress and pressure. Things that would have gotten you down are now managable. You bounce back quicker and feel more confident that you can cope.
People often get burnt out because they don’t recognise when they need mental and emotional recovery. Learn how to spot the signs that you are flourishing or need to prioritise your recovery to bounce back.
It is no mistake that those in the Special Forces are the toughnest people on the planet. That they can remain calm and effective under extreme stress. Learn the techniques that they are taught to achieve such grit and mental toughness.
Feel motivated and informed. Know what you need to do and where you want to get to. Focus on the small steps that will lead you a long way over time.
We understand that knowing which course to sign up for isn’t easy, and you may have many questions.
This course includes 15 video lessons on an array of topics relating to mental fitness. The course is aimed at anyone who wants to pursue their potential and increase their enjoyment of life.
You will have access to the hours of video and audio recordings to engage with at your own pace, and in your own time. Each lesson has accompanying practical resources including self-assessments, book recommendations, and helpful links.
I promise that this course will provide you with practical tools and insights to build mental resilience. If you apply the techniques consistently, you’ll experience noticeable improvements in how you handle stress, overcome challenges, and approach your daily life.
Investing in your mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness. This course offers evidence-based strategies developed from years of research and real-world application. The skills you’ll learn will serve you throughout your entire life, helping you navigate challenges with greater ease and confidence.
Unlike many mental wellness programs, this course combines academic research with practical, actionable steps. It’s designed by Dr. Paul Wood who has personal experience overcoming extreme adversity and has helped thousands of people develop mental resilience. The course is self-paced, accessible, and focuses on sustainable, long-term mental fitness rather than quick fixes.

I grew up thinking violence was the measure of the man and that I shouldn’t feel any emotions associated with vulnerability or weakness. By 18 I was addicted to drugs, a high school drop-out, and about to spend the next 10 years and 10 months as an inmate in some of New Zealand’s toughest prisons. A big cause of this chaos was my lack of mental fitness.
Yet thanks to developing mental fitness I became the first person in New Zealand’s history to complete undergraduate and Masters degrees while in prison. I was also the first person to begin a Doctorate inside. My education and journey of personal exploration and growth gave me a profound understanding of the need to build mental fitness to successfully strive towards our potential, deal with the challenges of change, and build the mental toughness and resilience necessary to flourish through adversity.
I am now a Doctor of Psychology, motivational speaker, leadership and development specialist, husband, father and regular contributor to the media. I am also the bestselling author of How to Escape from Prison and Mental
Fitness: Build your mind for strength and resilience every day. I work with everyone from professional athletes, Nike, Google, Converse, Sony Playstation, and Advanced Police Negotiation Teams. I have radically changed my life for the better and continue to pursue my potential through the insights and tools you will learn on the Mental Fitness course.
