Exe Coaching

⚖️ SETTING EXPECTATIONS 📈

Despite wanting a linear journey, the reality is that there will be peaks and troughs. Life will continually throw curve balls and it’s how we respond to them.

🌟 Here’s a snippet into Cery’s journey working with me:

“I started working with Jack in July after struggling with a stubborn shoulder injury for 15 months. Jacks background in injury rehabilitation has been incredible in helping me return to sport and stay motivated during a difficult time in training. Before even putting a barbell overhead or going on the rig we spent months gradually building strength and confidence overhead with so many creative and progressive exercises. Without Jack I definitely would’ve tried to progress too soon and ended up back at square one.

Jack had his work cut out with me constantly having to tailor my training at times when I’ve had niggles or received treatment on my shoulder, whilst also trying to keep training interesting and moving in the right direction, but he’s been absolutely amazing. He would always be at the end of the phone if I had any questions or to put up with me ranting about training.

When Jack gave me a sales pitch 7 months ago saying he could be the one to get me back to sport I had some reservation, but I was so wrong. We’ve come so far and I’m back doing movements I thought I’d never be able to do again pain-free and my love for training is back.

If anyone is struggling with getting back to sport after an injury, or just wants a great coach and mentor, Jack is your guy”.

🚫 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!”
