🚫 Cancel the op! 🚫

“Jack is an exceptional trainer. We have worked together for over two years and our latest phase has been hugely rewarding.

Here’s why:

Having suffered a meniscal tear in my right knee - an injury caused by marathon running - I had to take some time off from training. The pain was intense, waking me several times a night and stopping all physical activity. And I mean ALL physical activity. As someone who has been fit and competed in several endurance events, the prospect of a sedentary life filled me with dread.
After an MRI, the only apparent pathway to a fix was surgery and a date for the op was set.

6 months before the scheduled operation, Jack and I met and agreed a programme to get me pre-op fit to aid a rapid recovery. He was highly professional in the planning and delivery of that plan - building my strength steadily and never over stressing my injured knee.

However, it’s what came next that is the magic! As we extended the programme and the operation date drew nearer, my knee felt better and better. The pain had gone, I was back running again and even the cyst that had appeared on the inside of my knee (a true sign of meniscal damage) had disappeared. With just 2 months to go until I was due under the knife, I cancelled the operation entirely and chose rehabilitation through S&C work instead.

Jack and I are still working together now and my fitness is way beyond where I could ever have hoped. My knee (and the rest of me) is in fantastic shape and I feel so good.

Considerate, respectful, determined, motivating and a bloody good laugh, Jack has made a massive difference to my day to day health and happiness. His sessions are a vital part of my working week and will be for as long as my body allows. Thank you Jack!”
