Great pt sessions with Jack. He explains everything really well and is very considered which has given me the confidence to try weights and machines and helped build strength in my knees

As one of the recommended personal trainers at the gym, I reached out Jack as I was looking for some personal training in York. As a novice to gym environments, Jack has helped me to gain confidence in using weights, operating the various machines at the gym and training solo on something other than the treadmill.

Jack is also easy to talk to which makes training with him comfortable, but he’s also encouraging and able to push my training limits.

It’s been a couple of months and I'm noticing improvements in my strength.

After having a health scare in 2023 and then a second diagnosis earlier this year, I felt absolutely crushed. I knew that I had to make some serious real life changes but also knew that I couldn't do it alone, so I took the plunge and decided to work with a PT. I chose Jack because he specializes in weight training and muscle gain, and also because he partakes in competitions in his personal life. Ultimately it was the best thing I ever did. Jack is fantastic, he has helped me get back on my feet rapid. He will help you with meal plans, make sure you take on correct form with compound movements, work closely with you to achieve your goals, and he also has this uncanny ability of chattering away so you never feel anxious or self conscious in the gym. I really trust him when I'm working with the bar bell squat and can honestly say all other areas of my life feel so much more regulated, I'm eating better, sleeping better and ultimately feel more confident physically and mentally. If you want more from your body and mind, I highly recommend getting to the gym and working Jack, not only will you be fitter and healthier but you will also have a giggle. Thank you Jack for all your support so far!

I asked Jack to help me sort out a gym programme that would both help me improve my overall strength and focussed on exercises that would be useful for cricket.
He has helped me sort out a plan that ticks all the boxes and I can carry out around my other training commitments.
Before writing me the plan we spent a good amount of time in the gym going over the movements that might be included and the muscle groups and sport specific movements that these target and strengthen. He was fantastic at explaining the proper form for movements I hadn’t done before and after the session I felt confident that I could carry out the subsequent training plan. He’s also frequently in the gym and is always more than happy to answer any questions that come up as I continue my plan.
The plan itself was very well organised and thorough and included information that explained everything. Diagrams to remind me how to execute the specific activities and explanations of specific terms he used in the plan.
Jack is also a very friendly bloke and takes genuine pride and interest in his training plans and how you are getting on with them. It’s well worth tapping in to his expertise and I’d thoroughly recommend anyone to book a session, well worth it!

Met with Jack this week for advice on a training program at the gym. Although I've been attending the gym for a while, I was getting a bit stale and really wanted to know what other exercises I could be doing (especially as I have a long term shoulder injury and a recent leg injury).
Jack's a great guy; really encouraging and knowledgeable and he's created a detailed development plan to work to.
As an older and unfit guy, I sometimes feel a bit intimidated in some areas of the gym, but he's given me the encouragement to get stuck in and work on a wider range of machinery & weights.
Definitely recommended!

Jack is exactly what I Needed to get some more confidence in the gym. I’m 45yo woman wanting to built strength and muscle which is actually very difficult if you don’t stick to a good customised workout routine. I’ve noticed an improvement in form, confidence and sleep in just 3 weeks, by the for 4th week I could lift a little heavier weights my walking pace has also improved.
Jack is very knowledgeable, patient and respectful, I always feel accomplished after every session.
I highly recommend him!

Had a great first weights session to try to build my strength / bones with Jack today . I have been a member at the gym but walked through it to get to my Pilates / yoga classes ! I have a number of medical issues and he was very understanding and encouraging and has set me a programme that I feel comfortable with . Jack you are a star and look forward to working with you . Thanks again

As a woman who has avoided any form of 'PE' for the previous 60 years, I am very self-conscious in the gym. However, my physio had suggested joining the gym to build some strength to improve my hip/ lower back pain. After a few months of three times a week half hourly sessions, the pain was reducing but I felt I could do with some advice on how to push myself a little harder without risking further injury. 90 minutes with Jack has introduced me to some new ideas and given me a new training schedule for the next couple of months. I feel much more confident about my technique and its great knowing I can check in with Jack and go back to him when I feel ready for the next step.

Superb trainer. I can’t recommend Jack highly enough as a personal trainer. From day one, he made training feel approachable, safe, and enjoyable. Jack took the time to understand my goals & limitations, and built a program that delivered results. His encouragement, knowledge, and attention to form made every session fun, purposeful and motivating. Thanks to Jack, I now look forward to training and feel stronger.

Extremely helpful and informative and has helped make me feel a lot more confident in the gym and helping me with my plan to remain structured and motivated as achieving my goal feels a lot easier to reach! Would highly recommend if your either a beginner at the gym or wanting to stay focused and on track!

My friend and I are both in our early 60s and had stuck to classes at the gym as we really did not know what all the machines were for and it all looked a bit scary.
Jack has introduced us both to the equipment, what it’s all about and how to use it safely. I feel so much more confident now to go to the gym and improve my health and fitness.
Jack came highly recommended and I can see why. He is friendly, encouraging and clearly knowledgeable. Thank you Jack!

Since rejoining the gym in November I always stuck to the same machines and had “gym fear” of all the other people around me working so hard. In Feb, I decided to take the plunge to boost my own work outs and my confidence in the gym, and approach Jack for some hints and tips, and then completed a taster session. IVE NOT LOOKED BACK SINCE! I’ve enjoyed every session, and he had programmed me days for when I’m not with him, and has set me up with good nutritional information to support my goals.
I would recommend Jack to all, beginners and established gym goers. He listened to my goals, and is helping me work toward them every session

Great couples training sessions! My husband and I signed up with Jack to a series of weekly sessions after I had a free taster session and we are both absolutely loving them! Returning to the gym after a few months out was a bit daunting and we were bored by our old sessions. Jack has designed a fun and challenging programme that we can do together that he expertly amends to take account of our various injuries and aches. In 6 weeks we both feel so much fitter and stronger and have made great progress in toning up our body shapes. I love the constant adaptations that keep this interesting alongside a healthy bit of couples rivalry! We would highly recommend Jack to anyone considering a bit of personal training support, whatever your goals, for expert and friendly advice from a really nice guy.

Would highly recommend Jack! He has helped encourage me to get fit and healthy.

Jack is an excellent personal trainer. I’m a fit guy in my 30’s with decent numbers on my main lifts and have competed in local CrossFit competitions in the York area. Jack’s programming goes beyond just hitting arbitrary numbers. He personalises his programs to factor in lifestyle, training history, outside stress & recovery as well as strengths and weaknesses. I’ve pushed through many a plateaus working with him.

I couldn’t recommend Jack highly enough. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about fitness, training and wellness. Jack is also a pleasure to spend time with; he’s friendly, funny and easy-going - I’d have no hesitation recommending him to people who need a push to make big changes in their health and wellbeing.

Jack has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. I've worked with him on and off for a long time now, and he's helped me not only achieve my goals but also surpass my expectations.

I've had shoulder injuries, and Jack has helped me work around them. Not only that, but he's also enabled me to build strength in areas I didn't think possible due to the damage to my shoulder.

I highly rate him — absolutely worth every penny. I highly recommend anyone who's looking for a trainer to look no further.

Jack has managed to create me a program that caters for my needs perfectly. He has blended my criteria of 'gaining strength, driving body recomp and post shoulder surgery injury rehab' perfectly. I've been training with him for about a month and my progress is tangible and visible. We are pushing decent strength gains safely and my potential pain points (back/shoulder) are protected. Jacks ability to show the moves and break down machines, free weights and compound moves into easily replicable instructions is second to none. Thanks Jack. ?

Jack is awesome!

I have recently been training with Jack, he really caters to your needs and listens to what you’re personally wanting to achieve. The wealth of knowledge is endless. He’s an all round really friendly, easy to get on with guy!

I highly recommend getting in touch!

I had a session with Jack today. Very informative and encouraging.
Felt stuck in a rut with training and now feel like I have fresh motivation.
Highly recommended Jack!

Jack is the BEST!

Omg, I can’t thank Jack enough!! I used to be SO nervous about going to the gym—I had no idea what I was doing and was terrified that lifting weights would make me bulky. But Jack made everything so easy to understand! He showed me exactly what exercises work best for my body and made me feel super comfortable and confident. (Especially now that I’m the leanest I’ve been and not bulky ?)

Now, I can walk into the gym without freaking out, and I actually know what I’m doing! I still book in with Jack sometimes just to check in, get a little inspo. But he’s given me all the tools I need to train on my own. If you’re scared of the gym or just need someone to help you figure things out, Jack is 100% the person to go to!

Being over weight and in my 50’s I was very anxious about going to a gym but Jack made me feel really comfortable and at ease. He helped me build my confidence and build on my fitness journey. He gave me excellent nutritional advice and I have shed 2 1/2 stone in 5 months and I have never felt better. Thank you Jack you are amazing highly recommend.

I trained with Jack for around a year to help me drop some weight and tone up. I felt quite anxious about lifting weights because I hadn’t done it before and it felt really intimidating - but Jack was great at putting me at ease, he taught me how to do everything correctly and I really surprised myself as with the correct form I could lift heavier weights than I thought! Would highly recommend Jack if you’re new to the gym and don’t know where to start.

I’ve been training with Jack on and off for a few years now. He’s a great motivator and has helped me towards achieving my initial goals and now surpassing what I originally thought I’d be able to accomplish. I started back again with him a few months ago and I’ve seen amazing results. I’ve actually become a person who looks forward to going to the gym ! Highly recommend anyone thinking about a PT to reach out to Jack it’ll be worth it !
