If you know someone who wants to get stronger, fitter, or just move more, but maybe they’re not a fan of traditional gyms, send them John’s way. He creates a safe, encouraging space where the focus is on what you can do, and that makes all the difference. More...

Highly recommend!! If you are thinking about working on your fitness and nutrition goals please start here with John. He is extremely supportive, he will encourage you to push yourself as far as you can but in a very calm and gentle manner with no fixed expectations, it is still lead by you. Thank you so much John for the support 🙏 More...

I have always been nervous about having PT sessions as I was worried about how unfit I was. I have felt so comfortable with John training me. He has a wealth of knowledge and really invests in me wanting to achieve my goals. I feel so much fitter and that's thanks to John! More...

John offered a professional approach to his work, full of knowledge and guidance for an all round experience for training and nutrition to cater for your personal needs. Location and time was important to me which John always worked around to suit my schedule. Easy and accessible location with parking. More...

I use Rock Hard Nutrition & Personal Training to keep my body in great shape so that I am best able to be the father, husband and business owner I need and want to be. John uses no-nonsense, effective techniques that simply work. Whilst I have not always kept the Food Diary that is a key part of John's work, my fitness, physique and energy levels speak of the results.Thanks John!Now, where's that food diary??? ;-) More...

I’ve been attending Johns, Monday morning, online circuit class, for a number of months now. It’s a great way to start the week and I love the fact I don’t have to drive to a gym. Perfect length and great for all abilities. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try. More...

Been training with Rock Hard for 3+ years and have had significant success with my weight loss. Have always found the course thoroughly enjoyable as well as physically demanding. The nutrition side has been informative and supportive, especially as weight loss is often not an easy thing to achieve. Would definitely recommend giving Rock Hard a try to achieve your goals.

Working with John for the past 3 years has been life-changing for me. As a middle-aged unfit woman I have learned so much about my body’s limitations - and that I am capable of so much more than I realised. Kind, knowledgeable, and supportive I would highly recommend John as a PT and nutritionist. More...

Everything you need in a personal trainer. Pushes you and slowly increases weights etc where necessary but at the the right stages. Perfect

John also does PT and regular circuits sessions via Zoom. He tailored my PT programme to my needs (functional fitness and endurance) and since I had very little equipment at home, he adapted the exercised based on what was available. Really helpful to stay in shape while we were all stuck at home! More...

John is friendly and makes training fun! He also tailors to your own personal needs and abilities. I look forward to my training sessions and the weigh ins where I can see the progress being made.

It is a balance trying to fit in work and exercise. PT with RHB at home fits my circumstances. John has managed the sessions so I remain in my comfort zone but has gradually stretched my ability.
We have addressed cardio, strength and nutrition and I am making progress in all areas and can see and feel the improvement.
I definitely recommend working with John. He is flexible with sessions if need to postpone and the payment regime is great.
First time I have had regular exercise which is no sweat....well no stress.

John is a patient PT with a very good understanding of how to achieve positive results. Only been training with rock hard bodies for 5 weeks and can already see and feel the benefits.
Richard Salvidge
I've been training with RHB for three months now and I'm fitter, healthier, more toned and less 'fatty' and I'm now starting phase 2 of my training where we start upping the ante. John puts together a tailored plan to suit your goals and circumstances, and I'm really enjoying seeing the results! More...

I started to use R.H.B to get my fitness up more for my karate training. Not only has my overall fitness improved but i really enjoy the physical challenge every week!
Having your personal trainer come to the house makes extra exercise so much easier.
I would highly recommend Rock Hard Bodies to both beginners and the more experienced.

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Good, solid nutritional advice. Weights, interval training, plyometrics, Pad drills. We'll assess what techniques will allow us to best achieve your goals at your consultation.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Consistency. Repetition is the mother of success (and failure too actually) If you do the right things, again and again, you will succeed. If you do the wrong things, again and again, the opposite applies. All you need to do is learn what the right things are and start doing them. This is where I can help you. I will supply knowledge, support, motivation and personally tailored personal training sessions, you supply the effort and reap the results...
What do you love most about your job?
I really love the first time my client starts to realise that their dreams are becoming a reality. The first time they finish a set of an exercise they never managed to finish before. The smile spreading across their face when they see their hard work has been reflected in their results on measurement day. It's a great feeling.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I struggled with health issues for many years and the one thing that really gave me back some quality of life was exercise. Fitness instructors and personal trainers have given me more than doctors ever have. I wanted to do the same for others.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am an inclusive trainer with personal experience of neurodivergence, chronic illness and disability. I know how hard it is to balance career and family commitments, health challenges, and all the other things that fill our lives because I'm doing it too.
