Testimonials

"I worked with JJ for over a year. In that time he worked with me despite my injuries and minor setbacks. He made sure I was always motivated and he acted like a friend first and coach second. As well as his ability to work with me, he also wrote programming that made a significant increase in my lifts. I can't remember a time while I worked with him that any of my lifts completely stalled. Every single block came with new PRs and confidence gained. He knows a lot about the sport, and he quickly learns the way to program for you based on how you respond to certain types of training. Overall experience with JJ is definitely a positive one and all of his athletes would agree."

"Jeret has been my coach for 4 years and within that time I have grown as a person and lifter. The years have honestly flown by and I have enjoyed every moment of it, constantly adding kilos to my total. Jeret has incredible interpersonal skills which enables all team members to flourish; not to mention he is highly knowledgeable in programming and technique analysis. His passion, hunger and knowledge about the sport is remarkable and his motivation is very contagious. Together we have won several nationals and reached IPF Worlds achieving 3 silver medals for Team GB. I highly recommend him to anyone who is wanting to receive world class coaching and take their lifting to the next level. Not only is Jeret my coach but he's also a friend."

 "I've been working with JJ since September of 2019 and it’s been an great experience. He’s been super helpful in achieving my goals and breaking my personal records, he’ll get you where you wanna go. You just have to put the work in. JJ is honest, knowledgeable, and hardworking and it reflects his work and attitude, his blocks are well organized and easy to follow. Even through injuries he’s been supportive and understanding, as well as the whole team. It’s a good feeling being lifted up and encouraged by a group of people who have the same mindset and passion as you #TeamJJ. To me training with JJ is a no brainer, he knows exactly what he’s doing and will prepare you for any goal you are trying to reach."

"I started powerlifting in April 2021 and had my first competition later on in September, however I didn't start coaching with JJ until after that competition. Despite not being coached by JJ, he still gave me a few tips and help for the day. JJ was recommended to me by a friend and so far I have loved every minute of our time together. I started off with very little knowledge and confidence as well as lots of room for improvements. Not only have my weights increased while being coached but so has my confidence in myself. JJ is such a supportive and passionate coach who always pushes me to the best of my ability, having more belief in me than I do at times. Not only is JJ there as a coach but also as a friend too and has helped me come to terms with my fear of gaining weight from an eating disorder. Coaching with JJ is the best thing I have done for my powerlifting career."

"Jeret's programs are great for building strength, the programming is done so that your fatigue doesn't pile too much and the result is increased strength. He's a great coach and follows up on progress regularly, is also flexible but will hold you accountable. I saw my numbers increase a lot with Jeret; Squat 463-555, Bench 231-260, Deadlift 446-565 - all within a year.. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to build strength."

"When I first met Jeret I had no clue about powerlifting at all, I had just started working out and had no idea what I was doing. Jeret, an older kid from my school that I had never talked to took me under his wing and started helping me with my lifting. In the 2 years I have been off and on with his coaching due to personal long term injuries yet he is always there for you with motivational comments before every workout. He got my squat from 2 plates to 4 while working around back issues, my bench press increased well over 100lbs and my deadlifts took off from 275lbs to 440lbs. I credit all of my success to Jeret, not only is he one of the best coaches out there but he's also my better friend and has shown me so much that I know he'll do the same for others. He has lots of experience coaching IPF athletes whilst also competing in IPF Worlds himself. In my opinion there's no better coach out there."

"In my short time coaching with JJ I've made incredible progress. The results have been clear and I can't wait to see what I, as well as the whole team can get done in the near future. JJ always works his magic in every block. On social media and in person at the gym I see a lot of people failing in training whereas with JJ any target weight given has been hit, especially on PBs/PRs. The communication aspect has been great and consistent, despite living in different countries with an 8 hour time difference. In roughly 20 weeks my Squat went from 130kgs to 162.5kgs, Bench from 92.5kgs to 115kgs, Deadlift from 180kgs to 202.5kgs, and Total from 402.5kgs to 480kgs. The man works wonders and is always there to communicate when I need it!"
