If you're thinking about doing it you should definitely give it a go as there is no contract to tie you in, payments are flexible and the only commitment is to yourself and the initial drive to get in touch with him to book your first consultation (which is free by the way!) - would definitely recommend.
I was noticeably fitter after just a couple of weeks and I’m now looking forward to the next session - something that’s never happened when I’ve been into gym/running/swimming/cycling.
The sessions are relentless and by the time you’re finished you’re dead on your feet but Jack keeps the energy up throughout, keeps you motivated and about an hour after you feel brilliant!
I’ve never been into this sort of stuff before but it’s paying off in buckets and I might even be starting to enjoy it, I’ll be booking on twice a week before long. Can’t recommend it enough!
I had all but given up on personal trainers as I found they set goals and weights which were easily achievable and the programs provided seemed to be generic rather than be focused on my needs and desires. To me these trainers provided nothing different to working out on my own as I felt I pushed myself just as much without them. However I decided to give using a trainer a go one last time at the local gym just to get another training programme. It was clear early on there was something different with Tibbs (one of the trainers with Jackjon). Due to some medical conditions mobility is a key area of development for me along with endurance with strength being a distant third. I now train with Tibbs 2 to 3 times a week as I find that his sessions have another unexpected benefit. I can get quite anxious and very nervous at times and in the past the best cure for this was a pint or few. It turns out that exercise does a better job at keeping anxiety in check than booze ever did. I have had rave reviews from my bosses and students alike over the past few months- I am more confident, more energised, happier and this serves to make me and my classes more interesting and fun. But if fitness is more your bag I have also lost 10kg in weight, almost doubled my strength on squat and bench press, increased the distance I can run to 13 miles, and made huge improvements on my flexibility.
Just as the personal training steers clear of doing generic routines so too do the classes. The Primal Combat is done by Tibbs and is an amazing mix of pad work and circuit training which also incorporates a lot of working with others (in pairs). Not only does this build your fitness it allows you unleash any frustrations, agitations or worries through your fists into the pads allowing you to go home and end your evening chilled. The Bootcamp is a circuit with running and even a team game involving tyres. As with all circuits this is a full body cardio workout, but one that has been Jackjoned. The exercises not only build your endurance but also your mobility and the first few times you turn up you will be introduced to muscles you never knew you had- things like jousting lunges or bunny hops with barrels make use of stabilising muscles I never knew I had. The classes are also amazing because those that run them (Tibbs, Jackjon and Katy) are a really good laugh meaning that before you know it you're making new friends (something of an achievement for me as this normally only happens over a pint) and enjoying yourself- though don't think they'll be soft once the class starts.
Much longer review than I was planning so here is the TLDR bit. If you have tried classes in gyms or have used personal trainers before and have been disillusioned by what you have received then give JackjonPT a shot. They understand that exercise isn't just about muscles, it's about who you are
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK JACKJON!
