Jon Holmans

DR AHMAD MALIK - CoNsultant ORTHOPAEDIC SurgEon

"I’ve known Jon now for over 10 years. Jon is not an average PT, he is far more than that. As well as being a superb personal trainer, Jon also helps rehabilitate, pre and post operative, many of my patients on a regular basis. Jon is a world class personal trainer and the best I have ever met. As a foot and ankle surgeon (The London Foot & Ankle Clinic) I see many patients with foot and ankle problems. Jon helps me manage not only those that I operate on but also those I manage non operatively.

Jon’s expertise allows him to advise patients on a number of issues whether it be exercise technique, training programs, diet advice, strength and conditioning work or creating a tailored rehab program post surgery. Many of my patients would not be able to get to their high level of function and performance without his guidance and supervision. I could not recommend him highly enough."

"Having an end in mind is often one of the most important parts of committing to a fitness programme. In my case, I had many years of thinking that historic injuries would prevent me from doing any serious running again. However, in what can only be described as a serious case of a mid life crisis, I decided to give it a go!

My campaign was to run a half marathon in the autumn as a prelude to running the London Marathon the following April. So far so good, but it rapidly became clear that whilst I had retained my long distance stamina, my core fitness was letting me down.  Enter Jon!

Jon is a serious runner with a real track record (!!) himself. He gets what it takes to prepare for major races. As a result, his constructive encouragement to build the miles in practice runs was invaluable. More to the point the twice weekly gym sessions were a crucial part of the campaign as simple leg muscles are not enough - core strength is key too.

Jon's style is particularly attractive - I doubt if there are many PT's who are as polite as Jon - but you are never left in any doubt as to what is expected of you!

So, I would heartily recommend him to anyone keen to tackle running - taking it seriously but not obsessively so!"

“I have been training with Jon for 2 years after recovering from a stress fracture. I have gone from being not particularly fit nor unfit and being quite indifferent or even reluctant to go to the gym, to now actively enjoying training twice a week in addition to yoga and cycling almost everyday.

Jon is amazing. He has a ton of knowledge and keeps learning and sharing on many topics around fitness, running and rehabilitation after an injury. His connections and experience in the medical field are invaluable. He is also kind, a good listener, and very organised. Through a lot of encouragement patience and very clear and precise instructions Jon has helped me to regain my strength and confidence and grow in fitness a lot further than I would have imagined. He has helped me to push myself and actually enjoy it!

Sessions are always gentle and within my ability but with that extra push and encouragement to stretch my limit a little bit more. I always come out of sessions feeling happy and proud and totally ready for the day.

I definitely recommend training with Jon!”
