Jon Hodgkinson Golf Fitness

I am so impressed with the support Jon is giving me, which started with an extremely thorough assessment (2 hours!) of my physical abilities, history and so on. Jon then produced a great daily routine, which immediately had a positive effect on my balance and flexibility, and started to relieve the tension and pain in my lower back and hips. The initial set was added to, with a tailored strength and endurance routine, which I alternated with the first set. A second assessment after four weeks demonstrated how much improvement had been made and I went away from that with a huge amount of confidence that my physical issues will be resolved. Jon also adjusted the routines based on my progress and feedback, tailoring one for when I travel and adding a second strength endurance routine.Since then and by following the programme religiously (some days I don't time so I double up the next) , I have no pain or tension in my lower back for the first time in decades. It is a big personal commitment to do 30-45 minutes every day, but it absolutely is worth it.Jon will help and advise whenever needed and offers regular encouragement. The app he uses for the routines is really easy to use and you can easily adapt the sets you're doing to suit time and access to equipment.Jon's attention to detail and knowledge is phenomenal, he's extremely adept at explaining what's going on and how to do the exercises, and to top it all, he's an extremely nice person! I highly recommend him and his team if you need any help addressing physical issues or just want to improve your physical wellbeing

Having personal training sessions with Jon for the past year I feel stronger and generally fitter. Following a thorough assessment Jon tailors each session to meet my needs and encourages me to push myself to achieve results. Jon’s passion for nutrition is evident through easy to follow recipes and his eating plans when followed show pleasing results.

I've recently completed a 6 week online nutrition course with Jon. I contacted Jon to help me work on getting the right balance of eating healthy and training without being hungry all the time!The weekly calls were really interesting, learning something new each week. Jon is so knowledgeable and really helpful, he was always quick to respond to any questions I had in-between our calls. My goal was to not be hungry during the day and we achieve that instantly and with trusting Jon and sticking to the plans I've found a new way of eating that helps control my snacking!I would highly recommend Jon to anyone looking for nutrition advice for a lifestyle change or help with training for a specific goal x

I've worked with Jon as my PT for 7 years and my fitness, endurance and strength have all significantly improved with his guidance, encouragement and great people skills and his training has resulted in me winning 5 medals in national rowing competitions.I'd recommend him to anyone wanting to improve their mobility and overall fitness or to train for a specific sport.

For me, as a Professional Golfer, mobility is a crucial part of maximising my performance on the course. Since working with Jon, I’ve seen real improvements and he has guided me through every stage with constant feedback.The facility is fantastic, with plenty of space and all the necessary equipment you need. The plans Jon puts together are tailored specific to you and are easy to follow.Couldn’t recommend enough and I look forward to our continued work together in the future!

Jon has completely transformed my overall fitness in the last 15 months both before my total knee replacement to improve my general fitness in readiness for the op and thereafter to continue my recoveryWhen I was introduced & recommended to Jon, I was not only suffering from arthritis in both knees (which I was advised needed total knee replacements) I also suffered from painful sciatica and intermittent lower back issuesThanks to Jon’s tailored personal fitness sessions starting with 2x30 minute pre op sessions to now a weekly 45 minute post op sessions, I am now free of all my knee and back issues and last week I was discharged from Thornbury - as a 74 year old who played amateur football & competitive squash (hence the knee and back issues) it’s a miracle!Jon has a very well equipped gymnasium, tailors and varies the exercises and he plays ‘Dad’ friendly music playlists covering the 60’s to 80’sCheers Jon for getting me fitter and mobile

As well as being a thoroughly decent guy, Jon is extremely engaging, focused and tailors his fitness plans to meet the specific needs of his clients. As a ‘gym-ophob’ Jon has converted me by getting me to focus on a range of health issues and providing me with an individual plan that has significantly improved my strength and mobility. Absolutely recommend!!

I have always been an active person but in 2017 I hurt my lower back and needed surgery. The surgery worked but left me weaker on my right hand side particularly the right leg. In 2022 I again suffered a set back and my physiotherapist recommended going to see Jonathan which I started doing in August 2022. The first session was a very comprehensive assessment of my movement and capabilities with the injury. All recorded by Jon to help him build a programme specifically for me which he did. He taught me the programme and supported it with detailed videos I could revisit on my iPad and phone. I learnt the programme very quickly and there was a marked improvement in my mobility and strength. The stretching programme I now do at home several times a week takes about 20 minutes each time. The improvements were noticeable and came quickly. I then joined the Dronfield Civic gym and Jon added another 40 minute gym programme building strength and balance. I go about twice a week if I can. Occasionally when I feel my back is a little sore I can still do these programmes and it improves. I am definitely stronger than last year and I can pretty much operate as normal for walking, cycling and lifting safely. I particularly like the way the sessions with John are very flexible and I can arrange them to suit me and my plans and that is how we are working together this year. The frequency is arranged to mutually to suit us both but the key is doing some sessions yourself supported by the videos in the App. The programmes and training have made a huge difference to me and I highly recommend Jon and his company.

I've known Jon for many years now and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to improve their health & wellbeing through moving more and eating better. Both his personal and group training sessions are excellent for beginners and experienced athletes alike. Jon will make sure you're doing all the exercises correctly and will create a bespoke programme to take into account any injuries. He has some pretty amazing recipes to tempt if you're looking for new dishes to try, and they're all really easy to cook!

I have worked through the 365 Coaching Service for two years. I'm a 53 year old active women that lives in the United States. I was looking for a program that I could complete at home but was set up personally for me. Jon has been my personal coach since the beginning, and he has help me every step of the way. He puts together a daily exercise program and very informative videos that help you learn how each excercise is supposed to be performed. We talk monthly via Zoom meetings, to go through how the traing programs are working and what we can improve on for the next month. I also talk to him via text any time I need to ask a question or make a change. It has worked out perfectly for my lifestyle as my work days and hours vary. I have become stronger and leaner since the start. This is a self motavating program but, If you are looking for a program that works around your schedule and incorporates what equipment you have at your house, this is the program for you. Jon is a very experienced coach and is very knowledgeable on Anatomy/Physiology. His guidance has been on point every time I am having an issue with tight muscle or pains.
