As many ‘out of shape’ individuals know, taking the first step to redemption in the weight loss sense can be rather intimidating and positively shameful. However from the very first meeting with Jules those concerns were lifted. Her approach is both positive and encouraging. Goals are discussed, and an achievable plan is set out. The private gym room is well equipped, and it’s got a really comforting vibe. Each week’s training follows on from the previous session, with fresh disciplines introduced. After a few weeks there is a comprehensive library of exercises and movements which can be used for life. In addition these are neither monotonous, nor impossible to complete. In fact I would even say these are enjoyable. After each session there is knowledge that a proper workout has been achieved, without the feeling of dread for the next appointment. That demonstrates Jules has the rare quality that few personal trainers can achieve, she makes the entire experience captivating. As well as the physical aspects, Jules has an excellent knowledge of nutrition and diet. In this department I was expecting to be supplied with a menu of plain and dull foods. How wrong I was. Jules has a fresh approach to eating. The 80/20 concept is really simple to understand, and each week she circulates a recipe of the week which further demonstrates her commitment to helping people to achieve their goals. The food diary is possibly at the core of how to change one’s habits, or identify personal eating problems, and Jules clearly spends time outside of the sessions to review what one is eating, and how to improve diet. Her feedback and advice on this is really immense and I cannot express how grateful I am for this. A ten week course of sessions works out to the equivalent of a decent night out, so it’s “exceptional value” given this is an investment in a ‘lifetime’ of better quality eating and exercising. I would recommend everyone invests in Jules - it is the smartest investment I have made.
