Jon

Fitness Team - Smethwick Swimming Centre

Why did you work in this industry?

I got into the fitness industry through my college as part of my sports science and fitness courses. After I got a rugby injury with a spiral fracture of the knee and a prolapsed disc I gained a lot of weight and went to 21stone 4lbs at my biggest. I joined a gym and lost it, since then I want to help others with their fitness journeys.

How many years’ experience do you have coaching people in health & fitness?

I have 6 years experience with coaching rugby, football, cricket and boxing.

What is your main area of specialism?

• Weight training
• Sports specific training

Where does your passion lie in the industry?

My main passion is body building, I love the buzz of working out and watching day to day, week to week, and year to year seeing yourself improve, and I like how it not only makes you physically stronger but also makes you mentally strong.

What is your coaching style?

I love to have fun with a laugh and a joke but I don’t mind being the bad guy!

What would a typical session with you look like?  

Fun, sweaty, hitting your goals in the session, support and banter!
