I am so pleased that I found Jon and that he agreed to coach me even though I live in Germany and am not actually planning to compete.
Jon is a real expert in the field but also super flexible and adapts his coaching style and plan to my needs.
II thought I was condemned to just getting by, and being on a never ending plateau: I had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, which for me means that my energy is limited and there’s always a risk of days or weeks of fatigue if I overdo it. But Jon found a way to push me without pushing me, if that makes sense, and I can see improvements in my technique, speed, and even joy I feel while exercising!
I don’t run anymore, so Jon is looking at my swimming and cycling technique and sets, helping me understand the science behind it as well as making sure I am doing sets that improve my metrics, with positive results through the bank! I would never have thought that non-competitive exercise can be that much fun!

Embarking on my Ironman journey was a leap into the unknown. I had no triathlon experience and had been out of the exercise loop for over a year.
Yet, under Jon's exceptional coaching, I transformed from a novice to completing an Ironman in just three months, and remarkably, without a single injury. This achievement speaks volumes about Jon's expertise in coaching, his meticulous guidance, and his dedication to athlete safety.
What truly sets Jon apart is his personalized approach to coaching. He supported every aspect of my preparation, from meticulous training plans to thoughtful kit selection. His one-on-one training sessions were a game-changer, especially for my swimming, which improved dramatically from a weak point to a strength. Jon’s deep understanding of training methodologies not only enhanced my physical abilities but also equipped me with the knowledge of why and how each session contributed to my overall performance.
The most striking aspect of Jon's coaching is his commitment to going above and beyond. A testament to this was his incredible gesture of support during my solo Ironman challenge. Having Jon there, cheering and guiding me, was not only immensely motivating but also a profound display of his dedication to his athletes. It's rare to find a coach who commits so personally to an athlete's journey.
Jon is more than a coach; he's a motivator, an innovator, and a trusted guide. His ability to inspire and instill confidence is unparalleled. Trusting Jon with my athletic aspirations was the best decision I could have made. As I look forward to conquering more ambitious goals, I do so with the assurance that Jon will be there, guiding, supporting, and believing in me every step of the way. For anyone in search of a coach who truly invests in their athletes' dreams, Jon is the embodiment of that ideal. Thank you, Jon, for being more than a coach, for being a cornerstone in my Ironman success.

Triathlon Coaching
Stupidly I decided my first ever triathlon would be Ironman wales. I entered with no experience. I tried a couple of cheaper coaches out prior to Jon however they did not work out for different reasons however you clearly get what you pay for. Jon has been very attentive, replies almost instantly and adjusted my plan (many times) when I came to him with any slight niggles/fatigue/work commitments and the many days of struggles I faced during this. definitely worth the investment and wouldn’t have completed this without him!! Would recommend!!! More...

Jon helped me race my 3rd triathlon and best time after a leg injury. He completed a full in person assessment and then set a 3 month training programme. Which was straight forward to follow. I’d recommend Jon for anyone wanting to use science to improve their tri times. More...

Jon gave me the motivation to be consistent in my training. If it wasn’t for Jon initially coaching me, I would not have had the motivation to take on IRONMAN 70.3

What do you love most about your job?
Helping people achieve levels of fitness they never knew they could achieve and helping people lose weight with eating real food and not fad diets.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My daughter has Cystic Fibrosis and she is my inspiration for everything, if my fitness endeavours motivates anyone else, above and beyond those who I love dearly, then it must be a good thing.
Personally after a back injury I lost 7 stone in 1 year, I've kept it off now for 6 years, having travelled that journey myself, I know what it's like and what you go through, it is a massive benefit to be able to coach from experience. Now I enjoy Ironman triathlons, it's a way of life, allows me to keep fit and to educate and coach others. Believe in yourself, anything is possible.
Why should our clients choose you?
If you want results, you've found the right person to help you achieve yours. Lets share your journey together.
I only coach highly motivated people, if you are motivated to achieve then contact me through my website and let's talk about your ambitions.

Primarily my athletes are spread all over the country, I like to conduct a 1-2-1 assessment to establish your Swim, Bike, Run styles and form assisted by the INCUS Nova device. This industry leading device gives feedback to athletes of ALL levels.
Then, each Sunday, I design your training for the following week. I review what you've done, take into consideration your availability for the coming week, and design a bespoke training plan with all aspects considered. I also have local athletes who I work with on 1-2-1 sessions each week, the frequency is down to you.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
All 1-2-1 sessions are conducted with athletes safety as an overriding factor. Current temperature taken, a conversation as to experiencing any signs or symptoms of feeling unwell, and a sensible decision for all to consider proceeding. Resting Heart Rate being a primary observation to explore if the body is working overtime to fight any internal virus etc.
Basal Heart Rate should be taken on any day where a 1-2-1 session is scheduled.

Marathon Training
Running a marathon, I have a programme and nutrition plan to support your training and help you enjoy the race day experience.
Advice on nutrition, hydration - before, during and after your event and throughout your training, all to ensure you enjoy the journey.
Resting Metabolic Rate Testing
During the test, you will be lying in a chair, in a comfortable environment, and breathing into a tube that is connected to a computer. The computer captures and analyzes the composition of your breath, determining your oxygen consumption, to measure the rate at which you consume energy. That produces your RMR.
Your resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the amount of energy (calories) your body burns while at rest. It is one of three components of your total metabolic rate, comprising of 70 percent of your body's daily energy expenditure. The RMR test is a simple, non-invasive test that determines your RMR.
VO2 Max Testing
The VO2Max test is a simple exercise test performed on a treadmill or bike, where the speed or resistance increases every minute until you can't exercise any longer.
The test lasts typically between 10-15mins depending on your fitness level.
Your VO2 max is a number worth knowing. Defined as the maximal volume of oxygen you can use, measured in milliliters per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min), your VO2 max can tell you a great deal about your health, but it can also serve as a key measure of fitness level.
Your personal VO2 max gives the sports coach the EXACT zones for you, removing all guess work, it shortens the time frame to athletic performance goals by targeting your body's exact limit points when encompassed with a scientifically designed training plan for your race goals.
