Good morning everyone!
I thought I'd just take the opportunity and get in there early to introduce myself. I'm Johnathan and I teach the Tuesday tabata and Thursday circuits classes. Both are online and absolutely accessible to all! No matter what fitness level, ability or access to equipment I promise you you can participate.
I studied sports science before working as a PT and at the JR hospital in Oxford in cardiac & exercise rehabilitation. I then moved abroad to follow my dream of playing rugby, spending 2 years in NZ lecturing sports science and playing provincial rugby. After that I moved to Spain to take up a 1 year professional rugby contract and ended up staying for 8 years and playing rugby for Spain.
In 2015 I met my now wife and moved back to England and dived back into personal training, teaching classes and kept my hand in a bit of rugby playing & coaching.
Right now I run a class based fitness company with my wife, do my own PT from my home gym as well as online, work as a massage therapist from an osteopathic clinic and am in my 4th year of a degree in Osteopathy. I always wanted to do some more study and osteopathy for me is the perfect adjunct to strength and fitness training.
I've also got into kettlebell sport lifting, olympic lifting, Crossfit and more recently have started Brazilian jujitsu. Oh I also have a 3.5 year old and a 1 year old...😂 so am kept on my toes!
If you have any questions please do get in touch and I'd be happy to help.

Your classes are great. I feel reassured that with your wealth of experience and knowledge you know what you are talking about! I love the fact the classes are always different and exercises can be adapted according to ability and equipment available. You and Bunny are great motivators to make me move.
