Testimonials

     

 I’ve worked with Jonny for a while now. I first started doing his local fitness classes before moving onto his online sessions, when the pandemic struck. He now supports me with 1:1 sessions in the gym and the odd zoom session. Throughout all that time, his knowledge, support and motivation has been the key factor in me achieving my fitness goals. The way in which he focuses on all elements of fitness, from stretching, diet, technique, form and the importance of rest, demonstrates his passion for what he does and the importance he places on his clients and their goals. His manner is infectious to the point of making hard work seem bearable! If you’re looking to achieve your goals in a way that keeps you motivated and on track, let Jonny help and guide you- you won’t be disappointed!

 I do not train with Jonny directly but I do use his videos to help with my mobility. I struggle with ankle and hip mobility- where his videos have given me some alternative exercises to try in addition to traditional stretching. I have watched Jonny with his PT clients when I have occasionally trained in myo muscle. I love to see how he focuses on strength, form and mobility within them.

 I’ve trained for a number of years and sustained an back injury through poor technique. You’ve taught me a lot in a short period of time and helped me massively to improve my confidence whilst working on my form and technique. Thanks for your patience and support and I’m looking forward to continuing my journey back to a higher level of fitness with your guidance 😊

 I began to attend impact centre at East Durham College , weight training and circuit classes it was here that we first met Jonny Monaghan the trainer , first words were wow and oww !! Talk about bringing something different and challenging, well thought out sessions with encouragement for all saw the classes grow and grow ! The majority of us followed his to his new base at Horden welfare , post pandemic and latterly to another gym for personal training sessions, that get results . Jonny is dedicated to the best fitness goals for the client and if you want results he is the answer however if you think he wont challenge you on multiple fronts … think again Peterlee lucky to have him.

 I've trained with Jonny for a few years now. He manages to mix up the sessions so nothing becomes boring. He has incorporated some stretch and mobility exercises within the sessions which has improved the movement and flexibility in my neck and shoulders. 100% recommend him to anyone regardless of fitness levels.

 Having trained for years and then stopped due to covid I found myself in a position I didn’t want to be in I had no motivation and out of shape due to bad habits I contacted Jonny and spent a month with him his knowledge experience and encouragement have helped me massively and he gives explanations as to what he’s doing and why he worked around my shoulder problems and even helped with routines to improve it I can’t thank him enough or recommend him enough he’s a great guy too.

 Jonny helped me when I was at my heaviest of 22 stone, I didn’t want to start the journey but with his professionalism, patients and humour, training became something I looked forward to again. I refused to do certain thing with cardio, but he slowly introduced me to new exercises which worked great for me. I work away now and still continue the training. Great PT and fantastic guy, thanks Jonny!

 I was asked recently why I have PT sessions instead of just turning up at the gym to workout. My answer was simple. Jonny is the reason I turn up as he encourages me on ok days, motivates and pushes me on good days and has given me the confidence to walk into a gym after 30 years, many failed diets, aching joints, tendinitis and low self esteem and prove to myself I can and not I can’t. I have a long way to go but his friendly approach and knowledge on how to help the body to heal itself through exercise means I no longer have sciatica, need a knee operation, I’m free from tendinitis in my arms, ankles and shoulders and the fittest I’ve been for years.

 Enlisted jonny as a coach after injuring my back during deadlifts & having pain in the Hip during sit ups, benching various exercises. Jonny coached me tweaks in my squat and deadlift technique which not only had prevented further injury has gave my a process to follow before each lift & helped increase strength. During another session we focused on mobility, mainly around the pelvic/hip. Went the exercises to give a greater range of mobility and ease pressure on the area. Again since following the guidance pain found during sit ups bench etc has not came back. In conclusion I found Jonny to be very knowledgeable and explained each process before the exercise this give me the knowledge to carry out the exercises on my own.

 I’ve worked with Jonny for the last 2 years, he’s been a fantastic coach. He really focuses on client needs and builds a program that delivers results. He’s very knowledgeable in all aspects of fitness and well-being and has a really friendly, flexible approach. I’ve achieved some great weight loss results with his support and encouragement. I’d thoroughly recommend Jonny….he’s a top lad as well as a top personal trainer!

 Completed my second Pilates class and I couldn't recommend Sophie and Jonny enough! Makes you feel comfortable and is such a judgement free zone! The improvement I've seen in my posture and strength already is amazing. Low impact but so effective.
