Client testimonials

I have been training with Jan now for just over 5 months with my primary aim being to lose weight and improve my fitness. The results have been fantastic. I have lost just over 5 stones and dropped 6 dress sizes! Not only have I lost weight I have gained so much knowledge with regards to exercise and the best types of exercises to achieve results. Jan has also provided me with endless hints and tips with regards to my diet and why he recommends the types of foods that he does, to give me a better understanding so I can make the right choices.

Thanks to Jan I now enjoy exercise and look forward to training as he provides a friendly atmosphere to train in whilst always pushing and motivating you to achieve your maximum potential. Personal training, for me, has been one of the most positive changes I have made.

I first came to Jan out of curiosity to check my body composition (body fat percentage etc) and to seek some general advice. I’ve always eaten relatively healthily and trained hard but I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. Jan’s advice has enabled me to make small tweaks and changes in my diet that have really accelerated my results. I have only been working with Jan for just over a month and I feel I have made some of my best progress within this time. I would recommend Jan to anyone serious about getting results.

Jan was consistently helping me with preparation for a NAC Bodybuilding Championships in Manchester (as a qualifier to world championships) where I’ve earned a First Place in the UK! He was professionally measuring my body composition (inc. body fat) and helping me with diet, nutrition supplementation. He’s also helped me with posing. I would say Jan is one of best trainers I was working with.

I was on the brink of cancelling my gym membership as I had not been to the gym for about 2 years. I stumbled across Jan’s business card on a notice board and as I had put on weight and had great intentions of going to the gym, but really had no motivation, I thought I would give him a call.

I trained with Jan for four months in total and had one hour sessions two/three times a week. Jan is extremely focused in what he does and changes the routines to use different muscle groups and to keep interest up. He also keeps a close eye on your form to make sure you carry out the exercises correctly so no injuries are sustained.

I have now achieved my goals, which is 1 year on from my initial start date. I have lost 2 stone in weight, dropped 2–3 dress sizes, feel healthy and strong, have gained confidence and exercise has become a habit in my lifestyle. Jan is an excellent trainer, one of the very best.

Thank you very much for giving me this fantastic opportunity to work with you. You are wonderful person who can change other people’s life. And you definitely changed mine! I’m absolutely delighted with the results and will do everything to continue work you have done. I highly recommend Jan to everyone who wants to do something for themselves. He’s very professional and knows exactly what he’s doing and talking about.

I’m 59 and have never ever been to the gym before. I needed a Personal Trainer to motivate me to get fit and tone up. So I signed up with Jan for 26 sessions (13 weeks). After 16 sessions with Jan my body shape has changed and my fitness level has improved. Jan also advised me on my diet, now I’m eating healthier. I’m 59 but now I feel like 29 again!

He gave me the skills I needed for life. Not only did I need to lose weight but I also needed a friend, and that’s what you get with Jan. He helped me care about me again. It wasn’t all about hitting the gym and pushing yourself to the extreme, he helped me cater to my IBS diet and the motivation was almost like family.

Jan cares … he is amazing in what he does and helped me in a way I never knew I could even be helped.

After being diagnosed with hypermobility joint syndrome I was advised by the rheumatologist to go back to the gym. I needed specific exercises not only to get me fit but to strengthen my joints due to their instability. From day one he has tailored my workouts to take into account my “dodgy” joints but without going too easy on me.

Within that first 13 weeks, I dropped a dress size, got remarkably fitter and had no back pain, hence the reason I am choosing to stay with Jan as long as possible.

Thanks Jan for wonderful work and time you spend with me at the gym. I can’t be more grateful with the results I’ve achieved. You gave me so much positive energy and belief that I can do whatever I want now! Very high standard, very professional, a fantastic individual approach to customers. He really has passion for what he’s doing. Highly recommended to everyone who wants to make a big difference and change their life.

I’m 29 and I have not been to gym for the last two years and because of that I had gained weight and I was not getting the motivation to get back to the gym. I joined for a three months training where Jan planned a training schedule for me. He made sure I eat the right and balanced food which helped me lose fat and gain muscle definition. After 3 months of training I was having a body fat drop of 4.8% and I was down from 88 kg to 79 kg whilst adding inches on my chest and arms.

Signed up for a 3 month deal with Jan having been out of training for a while with a leg injury. After first 2 months of training with Jan I have managed to put on amazing 5 kg of lean mass whilst maintaining my body fat at very lean 8.1%! Jan was really good for correcting my technique on bigger lifts and kept updating the program to stop me getting bored or losing motivation. Would definitely recommend training with Jan if you have a specific goal.

From my first session with Jan he put me at ease. He is very personable and extremely knowledgeable about his field. He created a program for me that was modified during the block to ensure that it remained interesting whilst achieving results. The results were visible quickly (body fat went down from 27.3% to 24.5% in just 3 weeks). He also helped me with my diet and kept an eye on this to ensure that I wasn’t under eating or eating the wrong foods. I feel fitter, more healthy and am not afraid of using the weights in the gym anymore.

We set up some personal goals which were to lose 1.5 to 2 stone before my wedding. We put a plan in place of 1 session per week with Jan and another 2–3 sessions on my own per week following his 3–4 different routines which he updates and changes every 2–3 weeks. We are now 14 weeks into the plan and I have lost 1 stone and 2 pounds. Very happy with results so far, have lots more energy. Thanks Jan.

I’m 32 and haven’t exercised regularly for 10 years. I was feeling out of shape and had lots of back pains due to my profession (dentist). After 13 weeks of regular training with Jan my fitness levels have increased dramatically, my back aches are gone and overall I look better and definitely feel better. His holistic approach is fantastic as he gave me great knowledge on how I should change my diet and lifestyle to maximise my training results without struggles.

I have been training with Jan for several months now and I am already feeling the benefits! Jan is a motivated, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable personal trainer who has helped me towards achieving my fitness goals. I would highly recommend anyone considering personal training to get in touch with Jan!
