Here are some more testimonials from people who have worked with me…
“Having suffered with PVFS (Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome) or ME (Myalgic Encephalopathy) as most doctors refer for what is an illness of uncertain cause and cannot be identified, for over 10 years after contracting a life threatening virus whilst travelling. I generally had no energy, no strength and was constantly tied.
I have tried everything and anything from, Acupuncture to Reike, every wonder juice and alternative medicine known to man, to no avail.
To make matters worse 7 years ago I had a prolapsed disc in my lower back, which resulted in surgery and 6 x weeks layed up. Since this I have lost total confidence in the ability to exercise, firstly the PVFC loses all will to do anything, and the fear for further injury to my back put a stop to pretty much any form of exercise.
My strength dwindled and my weight gained to a hefty very unfit 17 stone, like everybody i have dieted, and can never get below 16 and ½ stone.
10 weeks ago I went to see Jon Le Tocq, and after a consultation with Jon, he put together a nutrition plan and a fitness routine that will help give me more energy, strengthen my back and general well being.
I am now 14 stone 6, running 5k in 35 minutes and dead lifting 110kg. After 10 weeks!!!!
110kg may not be a lot to some, but believe me when you have struggled to pick up a 20kg suitcase on holiday, it’s a big deal.
Most importantly of all, my energy levels have increased massively, I get to 2.30pm without feeling the need for a sleep, and can keep focused in meetings well into the evening. Don’t get me wrong, I have a long way to go, but after 10 years of struggling at last I’m getting somewhere.
Jon’s unique method of training, nutritional advice, support and motivation have made a life changing difference to me.
I will be forever grateful.”
Martin Gregson, Business owner, West Bridgford
“I haven’t enjoyed exercising as much as I have since training both within the circuit classes and Personal Training sessions. Yes, it’s always tougher than tough but the results come. Your motivation and enthusiasm is infectious, and because you want us to get results, we want to achieve the results. I think when I first started training with you I was still in themind set of coming 2nd.
Whenever I did a race I’d do the training but never go that one step further to really achieve…..my PT sessions have changed this, I seem to have my ummph back and now have the guts to set targets that will require hard work rather than ones that are more than achievable (if that makes sense?)! So I am aiming for a sub 3.45 marathon and also not to be overtaken by anyone dressed as a Peperami sausage (which happened last time!!). I’ll also do the Notts half and aim to get sub 1.40 at least…its got to happen one day?!”
Ema Swingwood, Nottingham
“Shocked to hear you’re leaving. Speaking as one of the oldest clients of your group fitness classes, can i say a big THANK YOU to yourself in getting me to think about looking after my body(i know its not good to look at at the moment). Sometimes it would have been easy to not turn up but once there its so contagious one soon gets stuck into the thick of it!”
Patrick Galligan, Wollaton
I’m so happy that I found Jon. I tried so many different programs to lose weight and failed miserably every time. With Jon it was different – and in 6 short weeks, following his exercise and nutrition plans, I lost 9lbs and 15.5 inches; 4.25 inches off my waist alone. It was hard work, but I would wholeheartedly recommend Jon’s program to anyone who wants to lose unwanted fat.
Petra Schumann, Arizona
“Can’t tell you how gutted i am 
but you have really helped me and the lessons you have taught me will last a life time so thanks for that!”
Cassie J, Nottingham
“As absolutely gutted as I am, Si and I too want to wish you all the very best wishes for your new venture together. We will really miss you both but hope that we will keep in touch and even come to visit for a boot camp or two! I cannot put into words what the last 3 years have meant to me Jon, you know what a massive difference you have made to my life.”
Maria Wills, Nottingham
“Since meeting Jon, I have lost a total of 31 lbs and a load of inches around my waist and hips. I wasn’t hugely overweight, but knew I was heading that way and this was starting to effect confidence. Following my transformation, I now follow the nutrition plan that Jon gave me, I continue to follow the advice Jon gave me and look forward to improving results in the future culminating in completing the London Marathon 2011!”
Gary Clarke, Sheffield
“Jon, I just want to say that whilst I have not taken up the PT aspect of your work, the effect that you have had in inspiring Maria to change her outlook on life has (eventually !!) gotten through to me as well.
Last October I think I finally started to understand what exactly is required to change a ’style of life’ in to a lifestyle that has had quite dramatic effects on both my physical and mental well being – I know that you will make a huge postivie difference wherever life takes you.
I will of course see you many times before you actually leave but take this as a -big thanks – for the positive effect that you have the ability to deliver”
Si Wills, Nottingham
“Every good trainer needs someone to push them, I choose Jon.
His methods for rapidly improving both strength and conditioning have to be experienced to be believed. I have improved my squats, deadlifts and presses by at least 10% in only 4 weeks and my striking (kicking and punching) power has gone through the roof. I’m actually looking forward to the gruelling winter Tough Guy as a result of following Jon’s programme.”
Darren Checkley, Coventry and Warwickshire’s leading personal trainer
If you’re wondering whether Jon is as good as he says he is, well he is!
I’ve trained with Jon for nine months and having lost around eight stone I can’t thank him enough and will really miss training with him. He’s turned me from a 20 stone plus couch potato into someone who loves cycling, trains and exercises every week and is planning to do a half marathon this year. I’ve learned a lot about nutrition and healthy lifestyles and can’t imagine living any other way now. None of this would’ve happened if I hadn’t have taken that initial step to get in touch with him.
Allison, West Bridgford
“Jon
I read your letter with sadness but truly wish you and Liz the very very best for your future. You are an utterly inspiring person who has helped many people to make huge changes in their lives. For me the sessions have not been about something I just do, but about something I love doing, gives me a huge buzz and makes me realise I can do a lot more than I thought I could, partly in exercise but overall in life in general.
I may be a ‘slow burner’ (deciding to do Tough Guy at the 3rd opportunity!) but the changes are there and have made me a much happier and more fulfilled person. I often say that if I had the time and money I would be in the studio every day.”
Dr Rachel Britton (GP)
Kettlebell Tour Testimonials
I did Jon’s Kettlebell tour last year as I wanted something new and interesting to use in the Circuit training class I run . I found it really informative , lots of hands on learning, and clear instruction from Jon . I now use the Kettlebell as a major part of my own fitness training as well, I find it is a great compliment to Yoga [which is what I mainly teach] as it builds strength, whilst encouraging a great range of movement.
My Circuit class clients love it , and you can see they want to do more and more with it . Jon gives great follow up support to his courses, and is keen to answer any questions that may arise [ no matter how dumb they may seem !}. As a teacher you can tell he is genuine and passionate about passing on his knowledge . I would highly recomend Jon’s courses to any fitness teacher or enthusiast .
Adele James, Yoga and Fitness instructor
“I went on the Kettlebell tour after reading previous testimonials. Although I was already qualified in kettlebell training I still gained were a few extra hints and tips which can make all the difference, as well as some funky new “Jon” exercises.
The course manual that accompanies the workshop is very comprehensive so well worth booking up. I brought a “virgin” Kettlebell user along too who is now totally hooked so if you are inexperienced in using bells you should definitely give it a go.”
Zita Alves, Bath’s Leading Personal Trainer and creator of the Z-trainer suspension trainer
“Jon Le Tocq’s kettlebell workshop was everything and more than I expected and a great workout too! Unlike other workshops, Jon spent time before showing us any exercises, explaining about kettlebells, the different types there are and what to look for when buying your own, he also spoke to everyone, to find out what they wanted to get from the course, whether they were a personal trainer looking to use kettlebells on their clients, or people like me who had a couple of kettlebells and wanted to make the most out of them, this helped him gear the course to better suit us and made the course great value for money. I would definitely do another course run by Jon!”
Dave Clark, Fitness Fanatic!
“I had the pleasure of training with Jon on his kettlebell tour. Jon is very confident and his enthusiasm is infectious. He gives very clear instructions and most importantly makes sure everyone masters the techniques. He also creates a fun atmosphere and is very approachable so you feel you can ask any questions. He obviously puts a lot of thought and effort into the course so you take on board as much as possible and leave with the confidence to train independently.
The download materials that came with the course were very generous. These included excellent videos and photos from different angles of all the key exercises – a brilliant reminder especially for a visual learner such as myself. Also, a multitude of program ideas tailored to different goals and preferences so you can immediately put into practise what you learnt on the day – I have been happily trying out several of these since the course to great effect.”
Jane, Personal Trainer
“Jon Le Tocq’s Kettlebell Tour – what can I say!? It was a FANTASTIC day. As a kettlebell “virgin” I learnt SO much and it was delivered in such a way that I feel totally confident in now training my PT clients with kettlebells. AND who knew there were so many variations on a press up – well I do now! AND have you ever tried picking up and squatting with a swiss ball filled with water or throwing one – no? Well get yourself along to the next date and you’ll be able to try all of this and MORE! It was totally brilliant! Thank you, Jon!”
Jo Underhill, Personal Trainer
