- Jo Wilkinson

About me:

My formal training provides the theory; my personal experience as a marathon runner, an elite rower and a personal trainer since 2001 provides the practice.

I will tailor your training programme to meet your goals and to fit with your lifestyle. I will help you develop those goals and provide the motivation for you to achieve them.

Your programme will be challenging, achievable, varied and fun.  We will work together aiming for continuous improvement.

As well as specific and general fitness programmes I also specialise in ante & post natal fitness – supported from personal experience and recognise and understand the fitness and training needs of the older person and non-competitive individuals. 

What my clients' say:

"After a riding accident, I was unsure how to get back to fitness, so my husband bought me a few sessions with Jo.  I really appreciated her warm, professional style and her extensive knowledge ensured that my recovery programme was at just the right intensity and pace".

"This is one appointment a week that I never miss.  The sessions are always challenging, diverse and fun.  What's more, I'm fitter and healthier for it.  Thanks Jo!"

"Sometimes you just need a boost to get you out of your exercise rut and step up your motivation.  Jo's extensive health and fitness knowledge ensures I enjoy a tailored programme that continues to challenge me."

"Every time Jo comes back from her training workshops, I know I'm in for some hard work!  Seriously, I appreciate the variety of her exercises – it stops me getting bored and I know I'm benefiting from the very latest know-how."

"Whatever life throws at me – from maternity to marathon – I know I can ask Jo to tailor a programme to suit.  It helps that she's a very motivated – and motivating – person too."
