Having entered a few 10ks, half marathons and mountain marathons I regarded myself as fairly fit. In reality, Jim's training has made me realise it was selective fitness and my core strength was ignored (or not understood)
Jon, 42, Independent Financial Advisor
I like your approachability - I feel confident in what you prescribe in both exercise and diet. I always feel as if I am achieving something following focused sessions. I am always impressed that whenever I have a minor injury Jim works with me to identify what caused it, how to recover from it and how to prevent it in the future, this is something that requires time outside of our sessions and something that is much appreciated.

I had been suffering from a recurring back complaint for a number of years. I had previously tried both physiotherapy and Pilates which although helpful had not solved the problem. The training I have done thus far has been very effective in improving the recurring back problem I have had in the past. I have found that Jim has taken the time to investigate the cause of the problem and has therefore been able to design an effective programme that is tailored to my individual needs - rather than other exercise regimes/programmes I have used in the past which I feel have been quite generic. I have found Jim to be approachable and friendly which makes the pain of exercising slightly easier to bear!
Emma, 26, Occupational Therapist
When I started with Jim I was unable to run through "plantar fascia-itis" and pregnant. I was unsure about what exercise to do within these constraints. I wanted to run. I had tried various other personal trainers, medical advisors and got no-where. This was my last chance if you like - I was ready to give up hope of being able to run again.
I am now running!!!! (within guidelines managed by Jim) And continually improving. (Stef has recently completed 1 10km run and is about to do another in April 08 and is currently working up for her first triathlon)
Due to your careful management of me I have achieved my initial goals. I trust your judgement and do try to do what I am told. You also understand external pressures and allow for this. Overall the goals and workload are realistic and therefore manageable - and effective.
Stef, 40, Part-Time Lecturer & Full Time Mom
My main problem was my lower back which was causing me pain from an old injury and I had been going to a chiropractor but this was only a short term solution and wasn't going to rectify the situation. I was also overweight and had struggled by myself at the gym to get motivated to train.
My back has dramatically improved and therefore my lifestyle has as it is no longer constantly affecting my day as before. I have also lost weight and toned up which makes me feel fantastic.
Louise, 26, Account Manager
Working with Jim is physically testing. The outcome of training sessions is a higher level of fitness and feeling of wellbeing.
Sheila, Chartered Accountant
I had been very immobile for years owing to being overweight, having flat feet and a lack of exercise. You name it - I'd tried it (other therapists/approaches). Since working with Jim my mobility has improved immensely and my stamina and strength have greatly improved.
