Joe has an air of professionalism, leadership and positivity about him that makes people instantly warm to him. I have worked under other trainers in the past, and none of them come close to the caliber of Joe's techniques or personality. He always pushes me beyond my boundaries, I always feel proud of myself after his sessions, he is positive, he is passionate about his work, he is happy, he is professional, he is knowledgeable on anything I've ever asked in relation to fitness, he's the best fitness trainer I could have asked for.

  “As a personal trainer myself I know the importance and value our job has on the health and lifes of our clients, and every so often there are people in each industry who are born for their job, and it so happens Joe was born for this.

He provides a service for his clients that goes beyond the call of duty, Joes clients know that if they need anything from advice to a daily rev up that he is only a phone call away. It has been an absolute inspiration to be associated with such a knowledgeable fitness mentor.

  “After two training sessions I quickly released Joe was the person that was going to change me and the way I tackled my training for the better. I have trained and been coached by the best athletes in the world at a younger age in athletics, with the likes of Linford Christie (Olympic, World & Commonwealth Champion), Colin Jackson & Frankie Fredricks (World & Commonwealth Champions) Mark McCoy (Olympic & World Finalist) and I honestly believe that Joe's approach and motivation to training is on the same level as the best in the world.

  “To call him a personal trainer is an understatement. He is a motivator, teacher, instructor, therapist, dietician and coach all rolled in to one small package. Joe's energy and enthusiasm is infectious. He has inspired me to set realistic, attainable goals and strive to achieve them. After spending a third of my life being unsatisfied with personal trainer's I have been surprised to find someone that is creative, professional and always able to motivate me to get out of bed at 5am and exercise.

  “He is the hardest task master I've ever come across! Joe has perfected the balance between friend and foe in a training situation and this is his key to his success. He is incredibly knowledgeable in all realms of exercise, health and diet, always happy to give advice and always up for a laugh, making the sessions interesting, challenging and fun.

• Tracy Kent-Jones, Director, Business Objects

  “As a wife and mother, with a full time professional career Joe's challenged me to make time in my life for myself, something that I haven't been able to achieve before. He always makes himself available to discuss not only the exercise program, but also how I'm feeling and how other things in my life impact my fitness goals. When I started I couldn't even run for a bus, now I've run a 5km race. Why has Joe succeeded where others have failed? He never gives up. More importantly, he never lets me give up on myself!
