I am a retired GP with an interest in outdoor running and looked for a way to engage in Strength Training as a means to improve. I found Jon on BARK and after a few email contacts, I started on a weekly session 6 months ago in his Private Gym on a 1:1 basis. I have found Jon to be very knowledgeable and professional in the approach to this form of training, providing information and evidence to support his training methods. After the initial assessment he created a program to bring in the 5 key exercises and has built on this as he felt appropriate. I have found the process of this training engaging and Jon's support and encouragement has been great and is just what was needed to help me move forwards and feel more confident in my running. The results are in the numbers, for example, in 6 months I have almost doubled the weight I can leg press to the correct protocol and I now find there are hills I can conquer which were a challenge previously. For those who follow VO2 Max, mine has increased from 38 to 42 in 6 months , having been fixed on 38 for the previous 6 months. I think it is important to recognise that this is not Aerobics, Weight Training or Body Building, although body building is one of Jon's training skills, but as his logo clearly states, it is "Strength 4 Health", delivered professionally by a trainer who understands the individual needs of people. I would highly recommend him, his facilities and this form of training.

In Feb this year I had a major heart attack, 3 stents fitted and 20 mins after being back on the ward I had a cardiac arrest, 2 days later my heart went into AF. Following this I was referred to Action Heart for cardio rehab. I attended there from April to date. It has helped a lot, however, I felt very tired after each session and worn out with no energy. Prior to my heart attack I had never been to a gym or did much exercise at all. I just felt I needed something else but wasn’t sure what? My son said to look for a personal trainer that would give me a program designed to suit me. I search on the internet and a web site called Bark. I had a couple of responses but was a bit concerned about the trainers experience with heart clients? So I sent a private message to the first one that responded to my request asking if they had any experience working with heart patients? The reply I received from Jon sounded exactly what I wanted, he asked me to checkout his website. I looked at other reviews and was impressed. At the time I was very nervous as I’d never had any heart problems prior to my attack and it left me feeling quite depressed and worried.
Since mid July I started going to sessions weekly and the improvement in my strength, mood and motivation has increased at least 70% from where I was following my heart attack.
I couldn’t recommend Jon highly enough and he has helped me improve my physical, mental and emotional health. Needless to say my confidence too. I am so much stronger now and when I go to Action Heart I can do so much more, I have more stamina and much more strength after working with Jon.

I've been training with Jon for a couple of months now. I got interested in strength training as a way to deal with an injury which damaged nerves in my pelvis and made left side of my body weak. The results already have been great and Jon is a great trainer. When I've been unable to do an exercise he's suggested changes which allow me to continue to work that muscle group. I'm delighted with the improvements and my left side is measurably better. What has amazed me in a short space of time is a positive change in body composition. I didn't expect to feel so toned after a short time of once a week workouts.
