TESTIMONIALS
“I have been working with Jo for over three years and in that time my relationship with exercise, nutrition and, most importantly, with myself, have been transformed along with the changes in my fitness, size & shape.
From the outset, Jo’s approach to my personal fitness has been a holistic one with a focus not just on physical training but also on nutrition and overall wellbeing. The lifestyle changes I have made under her guidance are ones that I have been able to commit to and sustain.
Jo has enabled me to become fitter, stronger and mentally resilient and to maintain this through some very challenging times in my life.”

“Jo makes exercise fun and interesting. In everyday life I am constantly reminded how much easier things are as a result of my improved physical strength, fitness and stamina. My flexibility and posture have improved, as have my energy levels.
Jo is a consummate professional, taking a considered approach to every session. She knows my capabilities and how to motivate me to push myself. My 1:1 coaching with Jo has made such a difference to my physical and mental wellbeing, and she has even managed to get me out running at the ripe old age of 48!”

“After having an active job my whole life, six years ago I changed my career and found myself sedentary for much of the day. I was unhappy with how I felt and looked. I’ve got a prosthetic lower leg and my knee cap was frequently dislocating. I needed to start exercising again to feel better about myself, both physically and mentally. I love skiing and was used to going a few times a year but I had lost confidence in how my knee would cope. Rebuilding strength, particularly in my left leg to stop the dislocations & get back to the activities I love, was my main goal.
Since starting with Jo sixteen months ago, I have skied many times and my knee has not dislocated. I also no longer need to wear a knee brace for swimming. A first for me! I've lost a stone through changing my approach to nutrition, which has given me heaps more energy too. Jo has taken the time to really understand my individual needs and has changed my attitude towards exercise. I have built so much strength and really enjoy my weekly sessions. PT with Jo has definitely surpassed my expectations!”

“After years of the same type of gym-based training and not seeing any new results, having 1:1 coaching with Jo has added a welcome new dimension to my exercise programme. She has introduced me to different types of workouts which not only keep my training interesting & challenging but are also practical when I travel for work since time and space are always limited. Jo’s advice and guidance is worth its weight in gold!”
— G. M Woodchurch, Kent
“Working with Jo has been one of the most important and beneficial investments I have ever made in myself. She paid close attention to my needs and lifestyle, building a program that would help me feel physically and mentally strong across all areas of my life.
I found it fun! She knew exactly how to motivate and challenge me - helping me discover that I could do so much more than I originally thought I was capable of.
Working with Jo was a revelation – she is not what I had imagined a personal trainer to be. The most surprising benefit of my 1:1 sessions has been the boost to my mental resilience. Even when I left feeling red-faced, having pushed myself physically, I also felt I had been listened to, cared for and reminded of how important it was to take care of myself.”

“With my 50th birthday looming, I realised I needed to focus more on my health. The combination of a desk job, a sluggish metabolism and very little exercise was taking its toll.
I heard of Jo through word of mouth and I am so glad I did. She is not at all like the personal trainers I’d heard of previously. Her approach is truly collaborative. After discussing my background and goals, Jo put together a training and nutrition plan that fit with both my family life as well as my personal goals. I didn’t need to change absolutely everything in my life!
Three years later and Jo remains my absolute anchor. I actually enjoy exercise these days. Jo’s healthy eating guidance has helped me to keep on looking after my nutrition, meaning that I’m not only fitter, I have also dropped dress sizes.
Starting up with Jo has been an absolute life changer. No more fads and ‘beach-ready in 4 weeks’ plans - I now see my health as a long term investment. I cannot recommend Jo enough.”

‘Jo manages to maintain a warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere, whilst also being professional, experienced & knowledgeable. No matter what your experience or level of ability, her classes are challenging yet inclusive. I can certainly see and feel a difference in my fitness level and waistline. I feel much stronger, fitter and positive since joining her classes.’
- J.B, Tenterden, Kent
"In 2020 my health was starting to negatively impact my daily life and so I approached Jo about 1:1 coaching. My 1:1 sessions have been the best investment I’ve made in my health. Jo is not just about exercise, she is so knowledgeable about nutrition and has educated me on small daily changes I can make to see results and supports me to make healthy food choices. Her mantra is ‘progress not perfection!’
My whole family has noticed a difference in me in just 4 months; I’m fitter, I have more energy (so I can keep up with my 4-year-old), I sleep better and I’m a lot more comfortable in myself. And to top it off I have lost 2 stone and rediscovered parts of my wardrobe I’ve not seen in a long time!
It is never just about the hour session with Jo. She checks in regularly during the week to motivate me and is always available to answer my questions so I feel supported. She celebrates my successes with me and is there with encouragement when things aren’t quite going to plan. She’s fantastic, I cannot recommend her enough."
- L.R Woodchurch, Kent
"I was feeling rather demotivated and in need of help with my health and fitness so a friend of mine recommended Jo. Immediately I found her to be different from previous people I had worked with - she is not a 'one size fits all' trainer. Instead, Jo took the time to really understand me and prescribe the right type of exercise to help me build strength and keep me motivated.
I have been a client of Jo’s for three years now and still really enjoy our sessions together. She is highly motivated yet kind and knows how to get the best out of me. I always have a smile on my face when I leave her studio."

“I've been coming to Boot Camp for five years now and love Jo's approach. She's a great motivator and confidence-booster, while making you stretch yourself at the same time. I was never a sporty kid at school and started taking my fitness seriously later in life but Jo's classes are super-inclusive and she encourages us all do what we can. Her enthusiasm keeps us all going, even when it's cold and wet!”

But Jo was so welcoming from the start and after attending my first session all my concerns were proven unnecessary. Three years on, I am a regular to Jo’s workouts and enjoying the process so much! Jo is an inspiration - she is positive and encouraging and makes the workouts challenging yet doable. I finally understand the buzz around exercise!”
