Reviews of JCfitness

A.

Exceptionally committed and professional trainers. Callum and Jonathon are just the right combination of tough, encouraging and friendly. When you are with them, you are their 100% focus. This isn't a passive journey - they actively educate you, review your progress with you and help navigate challenges with injuries and nutrition - so you can build your own understanding of fitness and healthy choices. I really enjoy the accountability and the transparency of the process! Outstanding operators, I can't recommend them highly enough.

S. M.

For a long time I had been experiencing muscle pain when trying various forms of exercise which meant keeping fit and healthy was always a struggle. My physio recommended I needed to do strength training on the affected muscles, but I didn't really have the knowledge or confidence needed when it came to doing gym work so I never made much progress. I approached JC fitness with the goal of essentially "learning how to gym" and the experience has been transformative. In 12 weeks Callum has shown me how I can exercise safely, effectively and efficiently. I have a much better understanding of exercise and nutrition, the pain when I exercise is massively reduced and I've seen great body recomposition progress. Now I feel fully equipped to continue to maintain and build my fitness going forward and my only regret is that I didn't approach JC fitness much sooner!

L. M.

It's been a long time, if ever, that I have felt as energised, fit, and healthy as I do now and that is all attributed to working with the fantastic personal trainers at JC Fitness. This is a no B.S. service that gets right into the areas that are relevant to achieving your goals and attacks these areas with structure and accountability. My objectives were to shed some weight and gain some muscle and I realised immediately working with JC Fitness that there were many areas I needed to work on. Their approach isn't to put all the attention into one area, but to look at all the different areas related to the goal and create targets within each area. I lost almost 17% bodyfat, over 7kg of weight, and I love the way my clothes fit now with more lean muscle. I'm forever grateful for the guidance, attention to detail, and professionalism of working with this team and can't say enough if anyone's looking for a PT in Edinburgh.

I came to JC Fitness with the specific goal of weight composition and some rehab. Jonathan developed great programs to achieve those results. Combining exercise and education provides a sustainable approach that meets your goals and gives you the tools you need for continuous improvement. Tracking played a big part and results were evidence based; making is easy to verify my progress. I would highly recommend JC Fitness. I am looking forward to dropping in on them to show them my continued improvement.

A. K.

I trained with Callum for just over 2 months and managed to drop almost 10kg. The team there is friendly supportive and very good at motivating you to succeed. The programs were tailored to me and the things I liked to do. Great way to kick start your health journey. They provided me with the skills and knowledge to produce my own training programs and continue my journey. The best part for me was measurable results and progressions. Everything was tracked so I had evidence of my goals being achieved and could see improvement every week. The nutrition plans were tailored to food I liked to eat which made it easy for me to rapidly change my eating habits. Highly recommend for all skill and fitness levels.

C.

Having gone into the experience with very high expectations after seeing all the reviews and recommendations online, I can honestly say my trainer Callum smashed those expectations out of the park. I trained with Callum for just over 8 weeks and the results were absolutely astonishing, he was very knowledgeable, motivating, and just an all round pleasant person to spend time with. And with JC Fitness you're not just paying for the hours in the gym, its a very holistic approach to changing your body composition with tailored nutritional plans and weekly step targets. I can't recommend JC Fitness enough.

J. O.

Signing up with JCFitness has been one of the best decisions I have made. The program and workouts are challenging, enjoyable and keep you accountable for your own results. I have largely been working with Callum for the last 6 months and his dedication and motivation has been unparalleled. I have seen great results in body composition changes and also been educated in different areas of fitness, nutrition and how to build a gym program that works - all of which has given me so much confidence going forward. Overall I could not recommend JCFitness highly enough, especially due to Callum's enthusiasm for seeing you hit your goals, these guys really are the best at what they do.

V. S.

Joining JC Fitness was the decision of 2021 for me! Unlike most people, I already knew what the problem was for me: I needed someone to keep me accountable and needless to say - as all feedback will echo this but - I got so much more out of it. The guys will not only focus on your gym sessions but will start you on your lifestyle journey from education pieces to mealplans and advice if you’re stuck with something. All tailored to your own needs. Highly highly recommend

M. S.

Have just finished two months with Callum and Jonathan. It was an amazing experience; they are extremely professional, friendly, and organised. They mean it when they say they lead with evidence based approaches. I was anxious about resuming activity after a long time out but it went really well - I really enjoyed every session - even the tough ones :). Callum was such a fantastic trainer and I felt in good hands during each session. Everything was personalised and the tracking and progress checks as well as the education pieces all complemented the workouts. Overall it far exceeded all expectations I had on original booking - I didn’t want to leave but they’ve given me the toolkit as well as huge confidence and motivation to continue on new path. Thank you!

R. S.

The service provided by Jonathan and his team comes highly recommended for good reason! Their approach is holistic and is personally tailored to every clients level of experience and fitness goals. The gym programme's that change every month not only kept the sessions fresh, but gave Jonathan the opportunity to teach programme design with different variations of exercises that can be added to the repertoire. Let alone the amazing results I can see both mentally and physically within myself, I now have the confidence to continue my fitness journey on my own - this is the ultimate objective for Jonathan and his team and you can see the satisfaction it gives them. Jonathans passion for his trade really comes through and has made the whole experience very positive! Cannot recommend highly enough. Thanks to Jonathan and his team!!

As someone who eats fairly well, has exercised regularly over the years and who has previously tried personal training I was frustrated by the fact that although fit I could never achieve the body shape I wanted. Now I realise I was doing it all wrong! The fantastic thing about JCfitness is that in addition to the challenging gym workouts you are given great nutritional advice and taught the importance of burning calories through daily activity. I love the workouts and can’t believe the progress that I have made. I would strongly recommend JCfitness to both those new to exercise and to those who have spent too many frustrating hours in the gym without ever dropping that dress size!

S. R.

I was gifted a few PT sessions with Jonathan at JC Fitness from my partner as a birthday gift (potential hint 🤔) After only two sessions, I have to say I am really impressed and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Jonathan is a good communicator and explains why we are doing certain exercises making sure form it’s correct and the exercises are performed correctly. I was particularly impressed with the work out schedule, Jonathan catered the workout around goals I had mentioned and things I wanted to improve on. I had also mentioned I enjoyed boxing - Jonathan incorporated this into the workout which shows he pays attention to what you want to gain from the seasons. Highly Recommended.

I came to JC fitness a few months ago with very little gym experience or knowledge at all. I had worked with a trainer before but very quickly saw how seriously and professionally Jonathan and Giannis manage their client's health and fitness. The holistic approach that Jonathan and the team have built incorporates expert tuition in the gym, nutrition planning & support and education materials really helps you to feel you are taking control of your fitness. I never feel rushed, I never feel nervous about asking a question and I always feel encouraged and motivated. I was completely at ease from day one and have really enjoyed each session, building my confidence with each monthly review of my progress. The coaching and support in the gym as well as the communication outside of it is what has really helped to change my habits and mindset - the results speak for themselves.

L. P.

I have really enjoyed working with Jonathan over the past few months, and with his help have completely transformed my body and routine. Having only exercised recreationally in the past, I really appreciated how accessible and educational everything was from the beginning. Every action is explained rationally and linked to real evidence, unique to my own experience and goals, which has given me the knowledge and confidence to work on my own. From nutrition, to behavioural change, to the PT sessions themselves, I really enjoyed learning and experiencing first hand how easy, focussed efforts over a consistent period can have such unbelievable impact. If I wasn't moving to London, I'd probably be carrying on – thank you!

I exercise fairly regularly and would consider what I eat to be healthy, for the most part, but I've had difficulty for the past few years losing weight and toning up. I do enjoy my home workouts, but not sure if they're effective and again, I just haven't seen the change that I hoped for. My husband suggested I work with a personal trainer and I found JC Fitness Edinburgh online. Having never worked with a personal trainer, I didn't have any expectations. Right away one of the most useful parts of working with JC Fitness was their body measurements. It was very helpful to know my body fat and starting point and these measurements became a strong motivator for me to change. There is definitely an efficient way these personal trainers operate that is different to how I approached my fitness. Working with formal exercise and nutrition plans make it much easier to stay time efficient and motivated. It's great to know how I'm progressing and their approach absolutely keeps me accountable, which is an area I've lacked prior. I stayed opened minded and with consistency the results quickly came and I've already lost 6.5kg and 9% body fat in a little over 9 weeks, which I'm truly delighted with! Having never experienced personal training before, I can testify that it has been a life changing experience for me and would definitely recommend the team at JC Fitness in Edinburgh for their professionalism, experience, and efficient approach. My husband has now joined with them as well!

JC Fitness was one of the best choices I made last year! This was my first experience of personal training, which I wanted to do after feeling a little aimless and bored at the gym, not knowing how to improve my strength to achieve specific fitness goals - like getting better at indoor rock climbing. I didn't know what to expect, but can only say that I got very lucky to have had such an amazing introduction to personal training working with Jonathan and Giannis. In addition to the amazing quality of training provided (a great, tailored and unique mix of bodyweight and gym equipment), the professionalism and the focused attention you get from the trainers, I was specifically impressed by the high level of knowledge in physio science that Giannis and Jonathan have. They are completely evidence/research based and really know what they're doing! That gave me a lot of confidence working with them and I also gained so much understanding about how my muscles work and how to exercise to target specific muscles groups. JC fitness provides these tools that makes the difference between short-term results and long-term results. I feel so much stronger, saw very specific improvements in my climbing and I was amazed at the definition I started to see in my back muscles. Giannis and Jonathan also take care to send on research papers, they are super open and honest, check-in with you to help you stay on top of your goals, and not only are they serious about the workouts but they are also serious about keeping it enjoyable and positive and are so much fun to work with. I couldn't recommend them enough!

D. C.

With my primary objectives to increase muscle tone and definition and lose weight around my abdominal area, I had tried a number of times on my own, but couldn’t seem to shed the weight. I felt I needed more help on the nutrition side as I had tried a number of different approaches, each of them failing to get me lasting results. I worked with JC Fitness because of their reputation and I had a close friend work with them last year who got great results. In less than 10 weeks working with this team I lost over 5kg and 12% bodyfat, and my clothes fit completely differently. It has been the best decision to work with these personal trainers and it has truly changed my life.

M. D.

I would definitely recommend coming to JCfitness and especially trying out 1:1 sessions with Jonathan and the team. I've always been intimated by gyms, especially as a woman who doesn't consider herself 'strong' or 'fit'. But Jonathan and the team are so thorough and professional - they tailor everything to your particular needs and make your goals seem totally doable. I was made to feel so comfortable and I learnt loads, not just about how to use the equipment but also my understanding of my body, diet and how it all works together. Honestly, if you're at all hesitant, I would really just give it a shot. That's what I did and I'm so glad I pushed past the mental barrier and tried it out. I feel like a different person for it.Thank you JCfitness!!

Amidst this covid crisis I tried home exercise both on my own and working with an online personal trainer and quickly lost the motivation. I also felt trapped in my own house now working from home and need that important escape for my own mental health. I had never worked with an in-person personal trainer in Edinburgh and am fairly inexperienced when it comes to the gym so was looking for a trainer that could teach me more about different exercises as well as nutrition. Working with my coach at JC Fitness has worked out brilliantly and I only wish I had started sooner. Getting out of the house in an great space with lots of exercise variety and learning more about my workouts and nutrition has made a really positive change to my physical and mental health. I do really well with structure and planning and am very pleased with the progress I have achieved so far. Excited to see what I can still accomplish!

J. M.

My husband and I have worked with a personal trainer in Edinburgh previously and unfortunately did not have a positive experience, but we felt we still needed one for the motivation and professional guidance. A few of our friends here in Edinburgh recommended JC Fitness personal trainers and they got amazing results so we contacted them. We started working with them online at the start of lockdown and now work with them in-person in their private gym. It's been a completely different experience working with this team! The professionalism from the beginning is what my husband and I both noticed and the level of structure and accountability is what we absolutely needed! Their gym is spacious and private, which is amazing, and in a relatively short period, both my husband and I have seen and felt pretty incredible change already. We know we have more progress to make, but so so please to be in great hands. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone wanting some help with their fitness goals!

If you are just looking for someone to shout at you and tell you that "you can do it, keep going" then go somewhere else. If you're looking for a professional who cares so much and has so much passion and real knowledge for their job, then come to Jonathan. I was spending some time back in Edinburgh with the family (I'm normally London-based) and so I knew I only had a short window to try and get on track with my fitness. What I've achieved in this short space of time has blown me away, and that isn't down to having access to a gym, it's down to being taught the fundamentals of WHY each exercise, each set, each rep and each meal is important, and what all of this collectively is doing to my body. Don't get me wrong, each session is packed full of intense workouts, but they are tailored to you personally, and at the end of the workout you sit down with Jonathan to actually learn about what you're doing - including nutrition which is a huge part of it. The attention to detail makes all the difference, and it's actually very rewarding learning about your body in such a way. Rather than leaving Edinburgh feeling deflated that I won't have access to such a good personal trainer, I'm leaving feeling confident in my ability to carry on this journey alone, and that simply wouldn't be possible without everything I've learnt from Jonathan. If you have any doubts whatsoever about where to go for personal fitness, go and have a session with Jonathan and I guarantee you that you will know you made the right choice, or I will personally refund you! Thanks for everything Jonathan

Amazing!!! I honestly can't say enough about these personal trainers and the incredible commitment they gave in helping me achieve my fitness goals. I moved to Edinburgh last year and as my work demands increased, I was determined to devote time to improving my fitness and my overall body shape. I have worked with a few personal trainers before but none in Edinburgh and I am delighted to have the opportunity to work with this team. Results came very quickly and more than anything my confidence in myself and my abilities to exercise and eat properly grew each week! The most helpful part of the JC Fitness personal training was their continuous education. All of the sessions are longer because they really focus on education and passing on information that was critical for my understanding of exercise, nutrition, behaviour, general movement, and more. I can honestly say this educational element made a big difference in my results and self-confidence. Thank you guys so much!!

I initially started training with JC fitness after seeing a plateau in my previous training and unfortunately gaining back a substantial amount of weight that I had previously lost. When I started I didn’t have an amazing relationship with training or food anymore, it was seen as something i felt obligated to do rather than wanted to do. Working with Jonathan has made me feel excited about training again. Not only has it helped my training, but due to his extensive knowledge of nutrition I find my relationship with food has been completely changed and I no longer face a restrictive mindset that I had become accustomed to. JC fitness are very approachable, knowledgable about nutrition and training and beyond helpful. Working with this group is one of the best decisions I could have made improving not only my physical health but also my mental health. For anyone considering starting, irrespective of ability, I could not recommend JC fitness more highly.

L. M.

My love for food and drink unfortunately caught up with me the past few years! Even though I enjoy exercise and understand the importance of nutrition, I admittedly lack the motivation to go to a gym (or stay motivated for home workouts) as well as stay disciplined with healthy nutrition. I had never worked with a personal trainer before and having moved back to Edinburgh, wanted to dedicate more time to my health and felt I would benefit from working with a personal trainer for the motivation and to keep me discipled. I’m honestly so impressed and grateful for working with JC Fitness. There are so many things I didn’t know previously related to my exercise and nutrition that I do know now because of their education and it’s been genuinely life changing. The sessions are really enjoyable (not like boot camp!) and the focus is more on the “why” and “how” within exercise, nutrition, general movement, recovery and sleep, rather than workout and get out. Learning how to not only achieve my goals, but more importantly keep them has been the best part of my experience. Truly grateful!

Z. K.

I cannot rate Jonathan and his team highly enough. I've worked with a few personal trainers over the years and JC Fitness is definitely the best experience and has helped me achieve the best results I've ever had! You get the full gym, health and fitness package. From the tailored gym programme to the personal nutrition plan and being able to feedback and input to both again just makes it more personal, more enjoyable and more successful! It's become a way of life for me now and I love it!

N. T.

During my time training with Jonathan and the team I have had some amazing results reducing my body fat from approaching 40% to below 20%. This is due to, not only the focus on hard work in the gym, but excellent educational support and nutritional advise. If you're looking to make a positive change to your health and fitness, I can't recommend JC Fitness enough.

L. R.

Really enjoyed working with JCfitness for the past 3 months. Their knowledge of sports based injuries and physiotherapy background combined with resistance gym-based training was immensely useful in solving my knee injury. As well as the one-to-one gym sessions, the teaching component of the sessions was really useful so that I now have an understanding for how to create and complete my own gym programs.

R. M.

Having experienced various injuries from weight training I was keen to find a personal trainer who could provide me with a structured training program that avoided further injury. I am delighted to say that Callum’s knowledge and expertise has allowed me to have the confidence to restart a strength training program to achieve my objectives. I would highly recommend Callum as a personal trainer.

C. W.

I decided to work with JC Fitness because I had a poor self-image and wanted to gain back confidence in my appearance as over the years I became more consumed by work life and paid less attention to my health and fitness. I was looking for a personal trainer in Edinburgh that would help me with both exercise, nutrition and motivation and fortunately this is exactly what I found with JC Fitness. From the beginning my personal trainer kept me on track and we outlined my specific goals and a plan to achieve these along with a really helpful timeline. I gained motivation through their education and the results I was seeing and feeling. I live a busy life with work and family and the most helpful part was learning how to be consistent when I travelled and how to be successful with my nutrition at home. I can’t recommend this personal training enough, this is exactly what Edinburgh needed!

T. W.

I have previously been let down working with a number of personal trainers in Edinburgh and I feel this was due to the lower standard of qualifications and experience that most personal trainers maintain. I was recommended to JC Fitness personal trainers in Edinburgh from work colleagues and anyone who decides to work with this team will see right away they possess a higher level of professionalism and knowledge. I met each member of the team and had the opportunity to work with more than one and I can honestly report they are very well educated. It's been so refreshing working with a qualified, educated and professional personal trainer that understands how to help and get results. I enjoy every session, particularly learning more about exercise and nutrition. The workouts are nothing like boot camp, but still challenging and the time after each workout is extremely valuable for acquiring new knowledge. If you want to try personal training or work with a personal trainer of higher professionalism, talk to this team, they created a really positive experience for me! Thank you!

P. V.

I had always been quite intimidated and lost with exercise and nutrition and so wanted to find professional help where someone could teach me how to exercise and eat properly. I was recommended to JC Fitness personal trainers in Edinburgh through a colleague that worked with them for over two years. I met with the team of personal trainers initially and honestly got a great feeling right from the beginning. My focus was on re-shaping my body to lose weight and gain a level of muscle tone where I would be confident with my body and wearing more form fitting clothing. Results started to happen right away in the first few weeks, which was incredible for me to feel and see. Within a few months, I was already changing the clothes I wore because they no longer fit. The best part was the sessions are longer and I had a chance after the workouts to learn more about exercise, nutrition, general movement and behaviour change. This personal training experience has truly changed my life and I am forever grateful. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you so so much!

JCfitness offers a bespoke nutrition and personal training service, providing evidence based practical support to help clients achieve their fitness potential. I've been working with Jonathan for a year now and have not only achieved my initial weight loss and strength goals, but increased the knowledge and skills I will need to set and achieve new goals for myself in the future. JCfitness gets 5 stars from me!

A. B.

Jonathan has worked with me for over a year now. Having initially come to JC Fitness with a running injury and a fear of all things gym related. Jonathan has used evidence based research to look at the reason for the injury and targeted this with a tailored fitness program not only about rehabilitation but future injury prevention, getting me back up and running again. Through his constant professionalism, positive feedback and commitment to me and my goals I have learned and gained so much, making the gym a much less daunting place to be. You could not ask for a more supportive personal trainer. Thanks for putting the fun back into exercise.

T. M.

After working with a few personal trainers in Edinburgh, I was looking for one that would focus more on nutrition and keeping me motivated. I worked with JC Fitness because they absolutely use more structure and specificity in both exercise and nutrition and they worked continuously to keep me motivated with education, goal setting, and support outside of the gym sessions. I can’t highlight enough how much I have learned working with this team and the invaluable confidence that continues to drive me to stay consistent.

T. H.

Jonathan delivers a highly professional personal training service based on research based principles. I have been a client for the past 4 months and highly recommend JC fitness to anybody ready to make a positive change in their lives. Results are guaranteed!!💪 I have learned so much about nutrition and gym programme design and ultimately had lots of fun. It is so refreshing to have a personal trainer who geniunely wants to make a difference to my overall health. It is very motivational to work towards monthly targets and see my weekly progress. The best decision I have ever made and worth every penny.😊🤗

A. R.

I used to severely lack confidence going to the gym and in the past I've attempted personal training but it's never really worked for me; but I felt great after my PT sessions at JC fitness! Not only do they personalise your workout but they also help you with diet and lifestyle. I fortunately feel confident enough to know what I'm doing in the gym now and understand how to balance my calorie intake. I highly recommend these guys, just after a few sessions with these guys I felt and looked so much better.

M. G.

One of the best experiences of my life! I would fully admit that my work and social life took over and I lost a lot of the confidence in my body shape. I was looking for a personal trainer in Edinburgh to help teach me more about how to exercise and eat properly and I found JC Fitness through word to mouth and friends of mine that had worked with them. My goals were to lose weight and improve my lean muscle as well as fitness and this exactly what they delivered. Having no experience with personal training previously, I was a little intimidated by the proacess, however my personal trainer was amazing! I felt comfortable and supported from the beginning and the results came quickly. I lost 8Kg and 13% bodyfat and fit into clothes that I wore years ago. I would fully recommend this service to anyone looking to improve their health!

K. C.

I’ve trained with Jonathan for three years now and cannot recommend working with JC Fitness highly enough. I’ve achieved goals I didn’t think possible and just feel so much better. Jonathan encourages a holistic approach to health and fitness and provides advice on every aspect - from training, to nutrition and sleep. If you are looking for an enthusiastic, supportive, knowledgeable and professional personal trainer then look no further, you’ll love it!

R. M.

Jonathan was an absolute delight to work with, he provided me with an abundance of fitness confidence and his methods and health education were exemplary. All gym sessions were fun and Jonathan was super conscientious about ensuring that all fitness programmes were tailored to the individual which made life in the gym actually quite enjoyable! Jonathan is a great guy, he is passionate about what he does and I would absolutely recommend the service that he provides.

K. G.

Jonathan Cooke is an amazing personal trainer and nutritionist. He continually gives me positive reinforcements especially when I doubt my ability to do free weights exercises, and the nutritional plans have transformed my eating habits and how I view food. I truly enjoy working out in the gym because of the great variation of exercise workouts Jonathan designs. I am now toned, healthy and happy because of JC Fitness.

O. B.

Within 6 weeks of working out with JC fitness I have more energy, gained muscle mass, lost weight, and learned loads about nutrition and exercise. Jonathan's bespoke approach to personal training has opened my eyes to the fitness world and has changed my life. He takes a huge deal of care with each client to provide a tailored nutrition, exercise, and education plan without overwhelming them. I could not recommend him enough.

K. A.

Jonathan is the best trainer I’ve ever worked with in my life. His commitment to evidence-based fitness sets him apart from every trainer out there. Unlike trainers who rely on anecdotal wisdom (a.k.a broscience), Jonathan exposes his clients to peer-reviewed scientific research published by the top names in the fitness industry. I came to him at a time where I had lost faith in my ability to change the way I looked. He transformed me in every sense of the word. I lost nearly 10% body fat in just three months thanks to him. It’s such a privilege to be able to work with a world-class professional like Jonathan. I really cannot recommend him highly enough.

C. C.

I have been seeing Jonathan at JCfitness for over 2 years as I wanted to lose weight and body fat and to feel healthier generally as I descend into my 40s! It is the best thing I have ever done in terms of my nutrition and exercise and I am so glad I found JCfitness. The approach is professional, thorough and enjoyable and I always look forward to going to the gym. I can highly recommend it so get off the sofa and do it - you will love it!!

S. M.

Can’t recommend Jonathan enough! Started with zero clue and more bad habits than I can count, leaving with the confidence to go it alone and a number of positive lifestyle changes. Jonathan’s passion is infectious and his evidence based approach really helps the understanding of someone like myself who likes to know why I’m doing what I’m doing. If you are looking for a trainer who devotes time to increasing your knowledge and creates personalised strategies to meet your goals - Jonathan is your guy!

A. C.

Amazing few weeks of tailored exercise that helped us get back to fitness. Jonathan met with us outside, provided great advise and varied activities that reminded us of how amazing it is to move and sweat. Couldn't recommend him enough!

G. B.

JC fitness is the finest, promising, result oriented, result focused and results driven experts. Esp Jonathan, my coach - his motivational words, advices and he doesn't just instruct you for workouts he makes you understand the necessity of the workout in our list. Along with a nutrition plan which is individual specific. I wasn't lucky enough to continue our classes, but given a chance to opt for a fitness I'd definitely choose you again JC Fitness. Thank you Jonathan. Good luck, Cheers . . .

K. E.

Working with JC Fitness has genuinely been a life changing experience from both a physical and mental perspective. I worked with both Ben and Claire and the professionalism and level of knowledge was truly there from the start. I had previously only taken classes (body pump and spinning) so this was a very new experience for me. Although the the body pump and spin classes were challenging, I wasn't seeing the results I was hoping for and noticed that the body fat around my stomach, arms and legs weren't going away! (Grrrrrrrr) I took the step to find a personal trainer in Edinburgh in the Stockbridge area and wanted one with nutritional expertise as well as exercise. I got more that what I hoped for working with my personal trainers and learned so much along the way. These trainers really know there stuff and if you're looking for more than just exercise to help you along definitely get in touch with these guys!

C. G.

This stuff really works! Jonathan and his team are fantastic – their knowledge of fitness, development and nutrition is excellent. As PTs they helped my wife and I to improve our nutrition, develop better habits and increase our knowledge of impacts of actions on your body – from understanding the low carb trap to specific mental focus on muscles used during exercise - all evidence-based research. Accountability and traceability is key!!!! We were already relatively active so opted for twice-weekly sessions. In just 9 weeks, we have both seen body fat reductions (mine from over 20% to 16% whilst maintaining my weight and never feeling hungry) and improved fitness and recovery. I gave Steven the challenge of getting me to do a specific Crossfit movement that I’ve been unable to do for the last two years so built into my programme was specific muscle development to help with the progression and, within 7 weeks, I was able to do that exercise. Have confidence in the measurements as they are very specifically done – great to see monthly development photos too. Well worth it!

D. E.

I have been training with Jonathan since January 2018 and I am delighted with the results. Not only does Jonathan offer an all round professional service in personalised training, nutrition, benchmarking and mindset it is delivered with ongoing motivation and enthusiasm so there is no option to fail. If you have been thinking about personal training, don't be scared, do it now and enjoy the results!

S. M.

Jonathan provides a personal approach to training, nutrition and education. The evidence based approach keeps you motivated as does the constantly evolving gym programmes. Enjoyable, fun, tough and very much worth it. Tell him your goals and he will get you there.

D. M.

I joined JCfitness after it was recommended to me by an acquaintance, and I'm so glad I did! My energy levels have never been so good and I've seen great progress in my weight loss and muscle toning. I have learned valuable nutrition tips that I will use for life! Thank you to the amazing and supportive team at JCfitness!

P. R.

Without a single doubt Jonathan is THE best trainer I have worked with, period... I went to Jonathan with some pretty unique goals, a challenging timeline and schedule, I beat the goals and felt and looked great. Jonathan is not however for the uncommitted, he is as motivated by your goals as you are and he has the luxury of being able to choose who he works with. I had a wedding planned (in just 3 months) and wanted to go from zero to kitesurf fit in that time. I worked out 2 days a week with JC but the important component was the change in my activity outside the time we worked together, activity rates, diet etc. Above all it was a great experience, good fun, and rewarding. I now stay in contact with him from the other side of the world as we have also moved! He knows how to charge, but he is great value, if you really want results your google search is over!!!

I went to Jonathan in July as a novice runner after signing up to do an ultramarathon for October. Jonathan put together a resistance program, a running program and a nutrition plan. I can categorically say there's absolutely no way I'd have completed my goal without him. Unlike me he always had faith I'd do it - And I did! Jonathan was even there supporting me on the morning of the event. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I was recommended JCFitness by a friend and I'm so happy that I made the effort to start training. JCFitness are the best personal trainers I've worked with in Edinburgh - I'm very close to reaching my fitness goals, I eat delicious meals prescribed by the monthly meal planner and I'm continuously developing body strength & muscle. All thanks to Jonathan and the team for their motivation, energy and hard work.

Jonathan and Steven are awesome- they really know what they're doing and make the workouts fun and varied so I'm never bored. Also their nutrition planning is great and really sets them apart from most trainers. highly recommend JCFitness!

Having started with Jonathan last spring I wasn’t sure that at 54 I could gain control of my weight and general well-being. Jonathan has helped me to develop strategies and behaviours towards food and fitness which has had a beneficial impact on other areas of my life.

Aged 56, working with Jonathan has been a real investment in my health and I can't recommend him highly enough. He took the time to really get to know me and I trust him implicitly. I wish I had done this in my 20's. His holistic approach to fitness and healthy living has truly been a revelation. I still have a little way to go, but I feel stronger, empowered and confident that I have learned the skills to a healthier and happy lifestyle.

I’d always considered myself as being health and fitness conscious yet lacking the results desired for my hard work. Then I joined JCFitness, Jonathon and Lewis were amazing, they used evidence-based theories to make small changes to my gym programme, nutrition and every day habits. The results I’ve always craved soon followed! Their education based approach sets JCFitness above the rest. Lewis was a pleasure to work alongside, pushing me to limits I never thought my body could reach, always on hand to offer assistance whatever time of the day and encouraging me to reach my goals. JCFitness will not disappoint, look no further I couldn’t recommend them more!!

Jonathan is an excellent trainer!!!!!!! He really knows his nutrition and fitness. He explains his weight loss and fitness strategy clearly so you have all the information. Highly recommend training with Jonathan!

Have been going to JCFitness for 2 weeks and I've already seen a difference in how my clothes are fitting me. When I started I was only able to buckle my belt in the 3rd last hole, today I was able to use the last hole in my belt to buckle it. I'm really pleased with the results 😊

I would highly recommend JC Fitness. Jonathan and his team go above and beyond a standard personal training experience - the time and attention given, and the tailored nutrition and gym programmes were second to none. Learned so much too!

u. S.

Absolute top guys in personal training. I was trained by Kerrie and she was amazing. They craft personalised gym programs holistically and objectivley in terms of excercise, nutrition and education. The important thing is they get results, I lost 6 kgs in around 10 weeks.

Jonathan provides an excellent and unrivalled service. He's great company, extremely informed on fitness and nutrition and utterly professional in all aspects of his work. Thoroughly recommended.

J.

Jonathan is incredibly professional, understanding and kind. His business is the way forward, and he is the best example of what a personal trainer should be. Highly recommend.

M. S.

Delighted with my 8kg weight loss in as many weeks. Jonathan took a holistic look at me and my lifestyle and helped me make lifestyle changes to achieve what I wanted at a realistic pace.

A. M.

I cannot recommend Jonathan and his team highly enough. They provide a full fitness package that is much more interesting and effective than just having you lift heavy things. 10/10 would lift heavy things again!

I've been working with JCFitness ever since I got married. My wife insists that she would have left me by now, were it not for the fact that I'm slimmer, stronger and leaner than I've been at any time in my adult life - a result which I attribute entirely to their holy trinity of resistance training, diet and education. Double thumbs up.

I was working with Deniss for the last 3 months, he has been very helpful and supportive throughout the whole time. He has been proactive in addressing the main challenges that ive had and motivated to do better.

Jonatha and Steven were amazing and always helpful. They helped me change my life style and in my time with them I saw improvements and learned how to make better choices. Would 10/10 reccomend!

R. F.

Really enjoyed the experience I had, he is very knowledgeable and gives me in-depth detailed information of what I am doing and why, which really contributes to the quality of the session. I really enjoy that, and it makes the sessions really stand out from other PT's I have had in the past.

A. N.

I couldn't be more happy with the coaching from JC Fitness. Losing plenty of weight, learning about nutrition, and not killing myself in the process! The Mrs seems pleased as well!

R. J.

Highly recommended - personable and knowledgeable trainers. Gave me just the right amount of push during the sessions and gave all the tools / education I needed to continue on solo afterwards.

R. R.
