Simply the best.

I have been with Jack for a while now both in group classes and private PT sessions. Despite a few personal injury setbacks, Jack has always provided encouragement and support second to none. He possesses an unparalleled ability to ignite a flame of determination and push individuals beyond their perceived limits. With his infectious energy and unwavering enthusiasm, he has the power to transform a simple workout session into a life changing experience. Jack understands that emotions play a significant role in achieving physical fitness goals. He recognises that positive emotions such as motivation, inspiration and determination can have profound physical effects on the body. He is able to tap into individual inner motivation, which encourages a natural response to surpass previous limitations and achieve new personal bests. His ability to inspire has a direct impact on personal endurance, and under his guidance I found myself pushing through physical barriers that I once believed insurmountable. Jack understands that physical fitness is not just about physical strength but also mental fortitude. By fostering a positive emotional environment he equips his clients with the mindset necessary to push through physical challenges, surpass their goals.
In conclusion, Jack goes beyond the conventional methods of training. He has supported me through both injury and mental struggles, and has always been available for encouragement and understanding. I can honestly say that Jack is exceptional, at what he does. He never fails to inspire and above all, very caring.

Following an injury

Following a knee injury I soon felt deflated and unmotivated to exercise. Yet with Jack’s expert guidance I began a bespoke rehabilitation program which he wrote specific to my needs.
He listened to my concerns and requirements and treated me as an individual rather than just another client. He was genuinely interested in my progress, was encouraging and knowledgeable. At times he had to reign me in when I was tempted to rush things and I appreciated that he always had my best interests at heart.
His friendly and approachable nature makes working with him easy.

Excellent coach…

I have been on many of Jack’s fitness classes thus far and never left a single one without feeling a sense of accomplishment. Jack’s classes are so challenging and fun at the same time. His work ethic is second to none and his commitment to fitness sector is truly inspiring!

Jacks knowledge of fitness is inspiring, for me he was a humongous catalyst to firstly my fitness improvements but also more importantly a major role model that helped mould me a more healthy attitude and mindset towards exercise. The way jack coaches is unmatched always approaching sessions with the perfect balance of motivation and care.

Motivational, life changing.. It's now or never

Before I started PT with Jack I was overweight and my fitness lacked, even though I was getting regular exercise. Turning 50 this year I decided I needed help. It was now or never...

After 6 months into the programme, I had achieved my weight goal whilst massively improving my strength, fitness and importantly for me, mobility. I'm now 12 months in and loving every minute of the training.

In my experience, the programme has always been designed around personal goals, pushing me to my limits without taking me over the edge, giving me a real sense of achievement. Jack's all round knowledge is impressive, having a deep understanding of the training required, the impact's on the body and correct nutrition to ensure optimal performance.

If you want your all round fitness, strength and functional performance to improve, this is the team that can take you there. You just need to be prepared do your part too...

I started training with Jack last year

I started training with Jack last year, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the very first session, Jack has been incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and motivating. They took the time to understand my fitness goals and tailored a program specifically for me, which has already shown fantastic results.

Their expertise is evident in the way they explain each exercise, ensuring proper form and technique to prevent injuries. The workouts are always varied and challenging, which keeps me engaged and excited to continue progressing. Jack is also extremely encouraging, pushing me to my limits while maintaining a positive and supportive attitude.

What sets Jack apart is their genuine care for their clients. They are always available to answer questions, provide nutritional advice, and offer support outside of our scheduled sessions. Their passion for fitness is contagious, and they truly inspire me to be the best version of myself.

I highly recommend Jack to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals. Their dedication, expertise, and positive energy make them an outstanding personal trainer. Thank you, Jack, for transforming my approach to fitness and helping me achieve results I never thought possible!

I have trained with Jack for years now and I couldn’t imagine training with anyone else. The trust I have in him is insane because he knows exactly what I can and can’t do and knows how far I can go. I can always talk to him about anything regarding fitness or life in general and I know I have his full support. Always pushing me to go further and take on challenges and always grateful for that! His knowledge is crazy and he frequently with explain everything in detail, even if he knows I won’t remember he educates constantly. 10/10

I’ve been lucky enough to benefit from Jacks coaching for a couple of years now. I met Jack right at the beginning having never participated in training before. Jack is very patient, supportive and fun to be around - I’ve learnt a massive amount and feel I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in during my adult life so am very grateful and intend on keeping this up! 💪

5 star experience

I’ve been with Jack for around a year and he’s been 5 star, I would highly recommend him.
Nothing is too much trouble for him, he’s very responsive to messages when I need to ask him something and builds everything around what I need.
He explains everything clearly and adapts my sessions based on my goals.
I’ve had a number of injuries this year and he has adapted my sessions to allow me to keep training whilst ensuring I didn’t make it any worse.
The sessions I do are through an online platform which is great as I can work it around work and other life commitments.
His approach is motivating, yet supportive, which gets the most out of you and I have progressed my fitness and body shape since we have worked together.
If you are looking for a personal trainer then look no further, Built Around Fitness is for you!
