Jonathan’s sessions are always challenging and enjoyable, he’s brought my knowledge and fitness in the couple of months I’ve gone to sessions up a number of levels. Very approachable, always available to answer a question and help where he can. More...

Jonathan is talented, enthusiastic and motivational. He is a great coach and makes it fun for my husband and I to work out together. We both feel healthier and stronger. More...

Thanks a lot sam. I really appreciate the kond words. Great you are enjoying the sessions.

Jonathan is simply the best PT. Signing up with Jonny has been a life changing destination for, his motivation and follow up helped and still is helping me get closer to my goal. I already feel stronger, fitter and lighter. My whole family and friends have noticed the change in me and how he has been such a great support. Plus he so far helped me lose 16 KGs which is 2.5 stones! Thank you Jonny, I’ll forever be grateful. More...

Lovely of you to say! Im so glad you have enjoyed the journey. I know it has involved some fairly significant lifestyle changes and you have been so consistent. I am so happy with your results and glad you are too. Getting so STRONG!!!

Jonny has helped me feel so strong and reach so many PBs over the last year. I can now squat 1.5x my body weight, we worked towards bodyweight pull-ups and have signed up to do the Banchory Beast with him and a few others! He is very supportive and has given personalised nutrition advice when requested. Despite his terrible sense of humour, he is a fantastic coach and now friend! More...

You can add an 85kg squat to your achieved goals now heather!!!

From gruelling bulgarian split squats, to intense barbell back squat, Jonathan is no stranger to pushing me to my limits. With that being said, Jonathan has greatly improved my confidence and I would recommend him (and his motivating fist bumps) to anyone who is just starting their fitness journey.

Of COURSE you are welcome for the Bulgarian Split Squats - i know they are your favourite. Really well done on some great results so far

Working with Jonny has been such an enjoyable experience and I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and welcoming PT. Jonny has been so supportive and encouraging throughout sessions and has really pushed me to try and work on my fitness and nutrition. Before starting with Jonny I had very little gym experience but I now feel much more confident with techniques and form. The way sessions are arranged and progress tracked through apps is really helpful too. Jonny is both an incredible PT and lovely person all round, always checking in to see how the week has gone/hyping you up after sessions. Thank you Jonny! More...

Over the past 12 months Jonny has helped me to achieve my goal of a body fat % of under 20% and a loss of 9kg in weight, without having to painfully restrict my diet. Being pretty naive to strength training when I started, I can now bench press almost 80% of my body weight and am alot more confident working out at home with my own equipment in between my sessions with Jonny. With the increasing evidence around the benefits of strength training in increasing muscle mass and bone strength, I'd highly recommend Jonny for his PT services. More...

I’ve been going to Jonathan for 4 months and I really can’t believe how much of a difference he has made to my physical and mental health.

I’ve started going to the gym by myself and working out at home. Exercising has become part of my weekly routine. My sessions with Jonathan I leave feeling stronger and more confident. The sessions with Jonathan have made me want to exercise more because I’ve felt the benefits from regular exercise.

I’ve hit a few personal bests I’m really proud of - squatting 100kg being one of them. I used to hate exercising and never wanted to step foot in a gym. Going to Jonathan for sessions has really changed my attitude towards exercise. More...

Reply from Jonathan Hay

You can replace the 100kg with 110kg now jack - EASY!!!

I have been going to Jonathan for 9 months now and I would highly recommend him.
He has listened to what I want to achieve and guided me in the direction I need to go. Since I have been going to Jonathan, he has helped me boost my confidence to the point I am to go to the gym by myself and I have even signed up to do the Banchory Beast this year (2024) with his help.
He has pushed further to try to things and push myself out of my comfort zone with exercises and I am now able to achieve 120kg on squats which I wouldn’t of be able to do without his motivation and keen spirt along the journey.
Jonathan also assist with nutrition by advising different ways to manage my nutrition and even giving out recipes. With his advice I have been able to change my eating habits without sacrificing the treats.
Jonathan’s passion for fitness and enthusiastic personality really makes the fitness journey more fun and enjoyable and I would greatly recommend him. More...

Jonathan is a great person and a brilliant trainer

He makes you feel super comfortable and has a lot of confidence in his clients which really gave me a boost about how i was feeling about myself! More...

Thanks a lot for the kind words owen. Much appreciated. I know you will get the results you are looking for.

Jonny has been amazing throughout my fitness journey. He is so patient and pushes you to achieve your best every session. With him having his pre and post natal training was very beneficial as I was early stages pregnant when first going to him . Jonny has been so supportive and considerate the whole time! I would recommend him to anyone!! More...

Nearly at the end of my block of sessions with Johnathan and I’ve never been so certain about renewing something! Johnathan is a fantastic coach and has really helped me improve my fitness and confidence in the gym! Such a great set up for someone who doesn’t like the typical busy gym set up. He is great at helping you work towards your goals and is super knowledgeable. Would defo recommend his coaching ! Thanks for your help Johnathan! More...

Thank you so much for the lovely reciew Nicola. Im thrilled that you are enjoying the sessions despite the occassional tender legs haha. Its been a pleasure and I look forward to seeing the results you get over the next few weeks.

Working with Jonathan has been really helpful and he is really motivational, I had no previous nowledge of anything to do with gym so starting with PT sessions has been best desicion I have made and to do them with Jonathan who will help you work towards your goal and support/motivate you throughout. I never thought I’d look forward to squats but the sessions are my favourite part of the week now. If you’re looking to build knowledge and your confidence with the gym, Jonathan really helps with both. More...

Reply from Jonathan Hay

Thanks for the lovely review - i am so glad you are enjoying the squats so much after being a little retiscent. You are doing brilliantly and im loving seeing your strength increase.

My sessions with Johnathan have become a part of my week that I look forward to. This has even encouraged me to start exercising at home by copying (to the best of my ability) what I have done in my sessions with him. Johnathan has been very encouraging from the moment go and celebrates my successes as I develop as person who is very new to using gym equipment.

His approach to teaching is fantastic and he constantly asks you questions to make sure that you are doing exercises properly and safely. He also gives really detailed demos for each excise ensuring that you are set up for success and that you are safe. His home gym is a great space to build confidence before stepping into commercial gym.

I’ve really enjoyed my time with Johnathan and look forward to having more sessions with him in the future. More...

Jonathan is an outstanding PT. His approach is incredibly supportive and he invests time in development of your fitness beyond each session, with regular check-in’s and ongoing encouragement.

Jonathan set out objectives each week and every session is well planned. His gym (setup at his home) is excellent and avoids having to pay expensive club memberships.

Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to build on their fitness or develop further. More...

Hope the cycles are continuing well Paul now that the nicer weather is in. Thanks so much for your review and I am sure I shall see you around. I'm glad the extra leg strength helped you up those hills on your bike...

I cannot fault Jonathan . His ability to build confidence is unparalleled, and his support extends beyond just workouts—he's been invaluable in guiding me on how to achieve actual rest and avoid further injury. Alongside this, his motivational fist bumps make him both friendly and approachable, whilst also being flexible for those with busy schedules. More...

Reply from Jonathan Hay

Thanks for the lovely review Nina. You have been doing great and im glad you are liking the fist bumps. Heres to many more and cant wait to see your results going forward.

Jonathan is great at helping to set realistic goals whilst also pushing you out of your comfort zone to ensure you get the results you want. He is always super enthusiastic and encouraging during sessions which helps; especially if you are not feeling too motivated that day. The fist bumps to hype you up after a session are also very much appreciated! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a PT! More...

It was one of the best decisions to start working with Jonathan! He has a great approach to a client, and can find an unique way to keep you motivated. Also, his skills to provide mental couching make every workout pleasurable and fun. The most importantly, he can spot the smallest mistakes! The tiny corrections make a huge difference to my preformence! Thank you so much Jonathan, it's a great pleasure to work with you! And your Kinder Buenos protein cake is DELICIOUS!!! More...

Reply from Jonathan Hay

So lovely of you to say Alicja. Glad these wee corrections are helping. You have some good experience so are making amazing progress so far. The protein bakes are excellent - I just need to not eat 5 pieces at a time haha. Pleasure working with you.

Helped me with my nutrition as well as my training. I hadn’t lifted before and was more focused on cardio and weight loss.

Now I feel better, fitter, stronger and I have lost 10kg over the last 3 months.

I would highly recommend him - very honest and told me at the start when I wanted to run that he was not the person to help with that. Just do the taster at least and get a feel for it - even that single session was great value. More...

Reply from Jonathan Hay

Thanks for coming along. It was great to meet you and im glad some of the strength stuff helped you. You know where i am if you need any other help. I hope the running training goes well🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃

Jonathan has been great from the get go - from a prompt message on Bark to the first call to getting started and the sessions afterwards. He instantly took on what my goals are and knew exactly what was needed to be done to achieve them. Jonathan is a very approachable and inviting person and found it easy to talk to him about anything. Would 100% recommend Jonathan if you have fitness goals but don’t have the confidence or knowledge to do it yourself - he is a great starting point. More...

Jonathan is fantastic- his enthusiasm is certainly what sets him apart from others. From the initial phone call he understood exactly what I needed and has got me remotivated and reenergised for the gym, have enjoyed every session with him so far and will certainly continue using his services!

Reply from Jonathan Hay

Thanks a lot John. Glad you are enjoying yourself. Great to see you getting some great results. That 100kg bench press will be back before you know it

Jonathan is great - called me immediately after my bark advert was listed and talked for some time about my goals and how he could help me. Have been going weekly since to his well equipped gym and really loving the training programme he has given me! Really friendly and funny guy with exceptional knowledge and already seeing great results - highly recommended! More...

Jonathan's passion is unmatched and his enthusiasm is infectious.

Thanks so much Crissy - I am thrilled you are enjoying things. You are getting some awesome results so far.

Jonathan was brilliant. He listened really carefully to what I was looking for and planned sessions for me. He was really encouraging and pushed me. The time totally flew by easy week I went. I only booked in for 5 weeks to try and learn a bit more about what I could do to improve my fitness/strength etc. I am defo going to keep going. More...

Jonathan has helped massively with my consistency in the gym and with my fitness in general. He has helped me set realistic but still challenging and achievable goals that are fun to work towards. After having a few months “off”, Jonathan has been very encouraging and accommodating with personal hurdles and has pushed me to become stronger and more confident in the gym than I have ever been before, and in a healthy way! I look forward to our sessions every time! More...

Lovely of you to day Heather. That first pullup eas a massive achievemnt. Now on to that 1.5X bodyweight deadlift - you got this!!!

Jonathan’s response to my request on Bark.com was very quick. He has a very good communication skills and really convinced me to join his private sessions. I have already booked 10 sessions with him and have already started. I’m very happy with my progress and certainly going to continue attending his private sessions for at least the next 6 months.

Thanks a lot Jamie. You have been SMASHING it and have deserved the great results you have got so far.

Jonny is a fantastic trainer, knowledgeable, approachable and flexible.

He is genuinely interested in my fitness goals and offered a tailored program for me to hit them.

I highly recommend to anyone looking for an outstanding personal trainer! More...

It’s great working with Jonny, really easy to talk to. He has also provided me
with me with workouts I enjoy doing (great exercises and rep ranges) which are making it enjoyable for me to achieve my goals

I’ve started training with Jonny around 6 months ago, I came to him with the most common goal of losing weight however Jonny helped me realise that my goal wasn’t really to lose weight but become stronger and healthier! He had helped me stay motivated and helped me regain my confidence both at the gym and physically as now I feel better in my clothes. Can’t wait to see the progress I continue to make this year with him!! Thanks so much Jonny More...

Jonny has helped me regain my confidence. He has made my workouts enjoyable and always pushes me to my limits which is exactly what I lack! Never did I think I would enjoy going to the gym again but that changed thanks to Jonny! More...

Absolutely fantastic experience! Jonny really helped make things simple and kept me super motivated throughout my journey.

Thanks again for all the help!
