TRAIN WITH  JORD

It sounds cliché but the well known phrase “your health is your wealth” has always resonated with me & helped me prove by being an example to others that excuses will forever be the blocker if you look for them.
 
For over 40 years sport & fitness has been a huge part of my day to day life. Being an active child from a very young age my parents took me & my Brother to a local Judo club & that was it my fitness journey had started at the age of six years old. Competing at National level was a huge achievement for me as at that point at 12 years old I was slowly moving from Judo onto Kickboxing. 

​

Bruce Lee & Jean-Claude Van Damme were massive TV icons of mine back then, so to have the opportunity to learn skills they showed off to the world ignited a fire in me. Kickboxing became an important part of my life. Not just the fancy techniques I practiced to perfect, it was the discipline that’s had me hooked most. Respect for myself, my fellow students, my coaches & how to treat & talk to people from all walks of life.

The self discipline martial arts gave me helped when doing other sports. Anything that was remotely active I was always willing to give it a try & all these years later I am still the same.

​

Playing competitive, football, Rugby, Cricket, athletics, boxing to name just a few.

From the age of 16 I was playing men’s football which taught me how to play my part in a team. It always highlighted how if I led by example then  others may take encouragement & raise their efforts.

​

After completing at a relatively high level in Kickboxing in my late teens to early twenties I decided to pursue instructing at the club I’ve leaned my trade. I was 21 extremely raw but eggar to help the next generation.

Whilst the technical side of things came naturally to coach people it was the learning how to talk to all ages that took the time. Understanding that no one person is the same as the last, we all have different learning styles, frustrations, triggers & anxieties meaning my job was to be empathetic to everyone’s challenges & be able to adapt my approach to support them reach their goals.

​

Being a parent helped me understand how to talk to children differently & gain the trust from the uber supportive mums & dads wanting their child to be in safe hands.

Since I started coaching as a 21 year old  I have learnt a huge amounts about myself & am very proud I have trained & coached thousands of people over the past 26 years.

Personal training to individuals or couples & hosting circuit training sessions gives me a real kick watching clients improve their health fitness & general wellbeing.

​

To be able to offer programs remotely to a wider audience from anywhere in the world has always been a passion & now I have the opportunity to reach those people.

All of the above has been a side venture running alongside a successful career in Facilities Management where I held senior roles meaning travelling to multiple countries yet still being available for my partner & children.

So I am living proof that just because normal life appears hectic it doesn’t mean your health needs to take a backward step.

I aim to help clients balance life with staying fit, keep moving & most importantly making them feel good.
