JB Personal Training Testimonials | Swindon, Wiltshire, UK.

I was 12 stone 3, miserable and fed up with 'dieting'- it just wasn't working. I knew I needed someone to motivate and encourage me, I also knew that the key to losing weight would be to exercise. So I decided on a personal trainer, after a search on the internet, I decided Jules was the one for me! The scariest thing was turning up for that first session, but going was the best decision I could have made. Those first few sessions were tough and I would ache for days afterwards, but I knew it was worth it. I have learnt so much throughout this process, losing weight is possible without counting calories. Fruit, veg and protein are great foods to fill up on and I will now happily choose brown rice over white!! I was pushed to my limits in every training session and achieved things I never thought I could do, such as run 5K in 33 minutes on a treadmill and do full push ups! So far I have lost over two and a half stone, gained a level of fitness I thought was impossible for me, and I feel so much happier and confident. I will now happily walk into a class at the gym on my own and go straight to the front!! If anyone asks me if personal training works, I say yes, and show them my before picture and ask them to judge for themselves!

I had recently been on holiday and when I saw the pictures I thought ‘Oh my god, I look like a beached whale’. This was the moment I thought I’ve got to do something about my weight. I looked on the internet for a personal trainer and found Julie’s website, within a few days there I was on my first session with Julie. The first session was difficult however Julie was there encouraging me and I found her to be a great motivator. Throughout the last 3 months Julie has helped me with changing my eating habits for the better, extended my knowledge on nutrition and improved my overall fitness to a new level. Before I started this experience I felt sluggish, had no energy, tired all the time, had no confidence or self esteem and was just plodding on through life. Now I have a new zest for life, I can now walk into a fitness class on my own and feel confident that I’m able to complete a workout/class without feel conscious of how I look and have a great time. The boost I get when family or friends comment on how I look is unbelievable especially when some haven’t seen me since I started this journey. In total I have lost 3 stones in 3 months the most I have ever lost as I have tried so many different diets before, lost so much then put it all back on and more. I enjoy every session with Julie and feel great afterwards. Yes, I still have my low days but Julie is always there to help me through them and set me back on track. If it wasn’t for Julie’s help I’m sure I would still be in the same rut as before and probably even heavier. I am only part way there as still got another 5 stones to lose but I know I can achieve this with hard work, commitment and Julie by my side pushing me all the way. If anyone asks me is having a personal trainer worth the money? I will always say ‘it’s worth every penny!!!

"I went out on Saturday and did a five hour hillwalk. Was going to call you from one of the peaks to say thanks - the improvement between now and the last few years attempting this stuff was incredible! I did three hills, and was really disappointed when my walking partner said that he was too goosed to do the other two we had planned!!! Over the past five years he's always been way ahead of me, so I felt really good."

"Just wanted to say a big thank you for your help with my exercise plan. I've absolutely loved doing it and it really has changed my lifestyle completely! I feel great and have had no end of compliments from friends and family. My job ends at the end of this month and my boyfriend and I are going off travelling for several months, so can't wait to show off my new beach bod. Thanks again!"

"Julie has been a real inspiration, guiding me with diet and exercise advice. She is always buoyant and certainly works me hard! I had six separate hourly sessions to help me tone up. The schedule she set enables me to use different elements on a "pick and mix" basis at home or when I am in the gym. The programme has given me extra confidence and I would certainly recommend her professional and stimulating sessions to everyone."
