Emma Compton:
"I have always known that what with day to day life, illness and injuries, my journey was never going to be a short term thing. This is why I chose to work with Jo because I knew she didn’t offer a short term fix. The things I like the most about Jo’s programs and services is that she has always adapted my program to meet my needs and requirements. She listens to my likes and dislikes and takes everything into account.
Since working with Jo the results I have achieved are unbelievable. My main benefit from working with Jo is the understanding I now have of nutrition and what actually works for my body. My results have been life changing. Not only has my life changed but Jo has helped with all my family, including my daughter who lost a considerable amount of weight and has gone from a size 18 to 10. My son was also training with Jo once per week as he wanted to get bigger and understand correct posture and technique with weight training. Jo has helped me and my family so much and we would never go back to how we used to live. We live life to the max now.
I would highly recommend Jo’s services. I have recommended many friends to Jo. Her knowledge and friendly approach is second to none. I will always use Jo and will never go anywhere else for the services she provides and hope to remain with her well into my 50’s.
​
I would like to say a big thank you to Jo for all she has done for me and my family, we have become good friends along the way. I am looking forward to achieving my next personal challenge with Jo this year".
Lisa Laithwaite:
"I absolutely love my one to ones sessions with Jo (even though my face may say otherwise during).
Our sessions keep me motivated. It’s too easy to come home from work and not bother going to the gym, but because I know I have to see Jo once a week I don’t want my fitness levels to drop. Therefore I make sure I go. Over the time I’ve spent working with Jo, exercise has now become part of my lifestyle. Which has totally changed for the better! I am much more happier with my overall appearance and my confidence has grown. This year on holiday was the first time in years I have allowed any of my family to take a photo of me in my bikini. I’m not perfect by any means but I feel great and I feel my confidence is showing on the outside. I felt bikini ready this year!
Jo has helped me retrain my brain and I feel amazing. I know now not to feel guilty if I have an ‘off’ day. I just to get back on track the next day. I would totally recommend Jo as a personal trainer. I have learnt a lot from Jo and I’m sure there is lots more I can still learn. Jo know’s her stuff and everything she says makes sense. I actually can’t fault her when it comes to food & fitness.
t’s been and long and slow process for me over two years purely because like I’ve said above I’ve had to retrain my mental relationship with food and choices I’ve made in the past. Thank you Jo for all your help and guidance. I look forward to our continued PT sessions if you’ll still train me :)"
Jemma Walsh:
"One of the main reasons stopping me joining personal training with Jo was cost – there is this belief that Personal Training is very expensive because the huge gyms charge so much. Once you enquire, when you realise what you are getting for your money you then realise it is doable and Jo's costs are much more reasonable than the gyms costs. You get so much more than what the gyms can offer in terms of support and value for money.
Jo constantly provides support to her clients, not only with the plans she produces but the constant moral support, she is always there to help you and never judges if you fall off the wagon, she just helps you get straight back on or helps you adapt your food and exercise plans to fit in with your life and get the best results.
I am much more in tune with my body and know how I need to fuel it. I know what exercises I need to do in order to get the results I want. I also have a much healthier mindset around food and that is all through Jo's help and also have seen improvements in my strength and toned.
Jo has such a great knowledge of food and exercise but also mindset and is such a huge support with the mental/mindset aspect of fitness journeys and how they are different for each individual.I would 100% recommend Jo and the services she provides, Jo goes above and beyond for her clients, she is invested in helping them change their food habits and understand how to exercise for the results you want but also what fits into your life – she doesn't just tell you to eat X and do Y she really helps with your understanding and what can work with your life and schedule".
Sarah Townsend:
"I decided to start working with Jo in the January before my little girl turned 2. I STILL hadn't lost my baby weight and I'd promised myself that this would be the year I started to feel better about my body. I hated looking in the mirror as it just made me feel depressed, which in turn made me want to eat! I hated my 'mummy tummy' and I was also cross at myself that, no matter what or how hard I tried, I couldn't seem to shift my excess weight. Also, my daughter is at the age where she is copying everything I do, and I didn't want to pass bad eating habits and weight worries on to her. Jo was excellent! She really made me feel at ease, and I felt I could be really honest with her about my body hang-ups and also about my goals. She listened to everything I said and created an eating programme that ensured I was eating balanced meals. She also listened when I told her I didn't have hours to spend in the gym each week, and so she created an exercise programme using at home training and YouTube videos that I could fit into my busy lifestyle. I was excited to start the plan but also apprehensive as I had spent years believing that diet = a huge food reduction. In fact, when I received the nutrition plan I was extremely surprised (and pleased!) at how much I could eat. I was given three balanced meals along with 2 snacks during the day. Weekly weigh ins and measurement checks kept me on track and I felt so proud of myself that I could finally start feeling better about myself again. Whenever I had a question or wanted a change in meals I got in contact with Jo and she always messaged back promptly. She was a crucial part of my new healthier lifestyle. Jo has taught me portion control, that drinking water is crucial and that eating regularly is actually beneficial to weight lose/management.
Thank you Jo for everything"
David Townsend:
"I've always been into fitness and health and in 2016 I decided to start competing. I approached Jo asking for her experience & expertise in helping me prepare to competitions. From the initial induction, to texts, calls and follow-on support; Jo is absolutely superb! She has taught me new knowledge into what I should be eating and training. And just as importantly with her guidance, support and friendly manner; I've already had 2 x successfully competitions where I qualified for the finals in each event. Jo is incredibly knowledgeable and I am so happy with where she's taken me. I highly recommend Jo - she is an unbelievable trainer!”
Rosie Day:
"I had hit an all time low with my weight and body confidence and was the heaviest I had ever been.
I completed an intense 5 week online nutrition and training plan with Jo and it was amazing. I have never felt more confident about my body in years. I had guidance and support when ever I needed it. My nutrition plan was tailored around what foods I like to eat and I found it easy to follow. My training plan was varied and had plenty of different exercises to keep me working hard at the gym. I have been sleeping better and feel full of energy.
I just want to say a massive thank you to Jo. I feel ready for my up coming holidays and ready to be 30 and fit”
"JO IS AMAZING AS A PERSONAL TRAINER AND WHAT SHE DOES. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH. JO ALONE COMPLETELY HELPED ME CHANGE MY BODY AND LIFE FOR THE BEST. HER SUPPORT THROUGHOUT WAS SECOND TO NONE DURING MY SHOW PREP AND SHE HELPED ME GET MY 1ST PLACE IN MY FIRST COMPETITION. JO BECAME A FREIND AS WELL AS MY TRAINER. SHE COULD RELATE TO THE UPS AND DOWNS I EXPERIENCED THROUGH PREP THAN MOST PEOPLE COULD. HONESTLY SHE IS A TOP PT AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND JO TO ANYONE!
