“I’ve trained with Jim for a long time now, and I can say without hesitation that he’s exceptional at what he does.
Jim isn’t just a highly skilled personal trainer he’s someone who genuinely cares about your wellbeing as a whole. Every session is thoughtfully planned, purposeful, and motivating, but always delivered with warmth, humour and a real sense of enjoyment. Training at Ten Gym never feels like a box-ticking exercise it feels energising, positive, and frankly something you look forward to.
What sets Jim apart is his ability to treat you as an individual. He listens, adapts, and pushes you in exactly the right way never blindly, never recklessly always with care, encouragement and follow-up. He pays attention to how you’re feeling, how you’re progressing, and what you need on that particular day.
Beyond the physical side, Jim has a deep understanding of wellness and mindset. He inspires confidence, consistency and balance, while keeping fun firmly at the heart of every session. He’s kind, generous with his time, and genuinely invested in helping people get the very best out of themselves.
Ten Gym reflects Jim perfectly, professional, welcoming, uplifting, and built around people not egos. If you’re looking for a trainer who will challenge you, support you, and genuinely look out for you, Jim is the real deal.”

“jim has played a key role in my sports & personaL life. he has been there through the ups & downs & never fails to remind me that failure is part of success.”
As a young athlete, he has contributed positively emotionally, physically & mentally in reaching my goals. Jim’s work has made a notable improvement in my performance & attitude towards what I love. Every time, without, fail, I feel exhilarated & motivated after my session with Jim. My physical strength has massively increased ever since starting with him. The physical activities have strengthened my body and mind in indescribable ways. His energy, aura and environment is what makes him unique from anyone else!

“An inspirational man who has rare abilities to engage with multifarious characters who all appear to get so much from his sessions. Jim has been on an amazing journey of his own and has the humility, honesty and love which allows him to share so much with his ‘clients’ (a poor word, ‘friends’ describes us much better!).
From my experience I would say that Jim tailors my sessions to be both challenging yet achievable, with plenty of variety, working towards different goals. I feel stronger and have much better stamina. My recovery time is so much quicker and I can’t wait to do more. After my initial anxiety about my gym visits I can now honestly say that these sessions are one of the happiest times of my week.
The other aspect of Jim’s skill set is his understanding of mental health and the awareness of how this often neglected section of well being cannot be forgotten for any of us. His work through his series of Mental Well Being podcasts is evidence of his courage and generosity of spirit, and shows me how much he has learnt from the experiences of himself and the rest of us. I know how hard it can be to connect with anyone who is in crisis, who is lacking in self-esteem, who is anxious or depressed. I’ve never met anyone who makes that connection better than Jim. ”
