I started seeing Jannie 6 months ago as I had chronic shoulder, arm and back pain. Getting strong and fit has always been an aspiration of mine, but due to my injuries I didn’t know how to move forward.
My wife Carol, who had been seeing Jannie for years referred him to me. This has changed my life in ways I could never imagine. We spent the first few months addressing my pain issues through both remedial and exercise therapies. Once I was pain free, we began working on my strength and fitness.
Jannie is a true professional and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His approach is extremely thorough and is tailored to my needs. I will continue my journey with him for many years to come as I cant wait to see even more results.
Thank you Jannie

I can't recommend Jannie highly enough. I have struggled for years with a persistent neck issue and seen numerous osteopaths and physiotherapists with little long term success.
From the very first session it was clear Jannie had a deep understanding of my problem and focused on a deep tissue treatment and tailored exercise plan. Jannie helped ease my spasms and pain and he helped me to finally overcome it.
What really sets him apart is his motivational energy and the genuine care he brings to every session. Thank you Jannie, I am pain free for the first time in years!

Jannie is a genius when it comes to both injury rehabilitation and strength programming. I’m a competitive triathlete in my 60’s. Initially, I started seeing Jannie to treat my plantar fasciitis. I had seen previous professionals who did little else but make things worse. I immediately knew when I met Jannie that his approach was different.
​
He was the only person who put me through a thorough assessment to work out the root cause of my injury. He prescribed me a series of exercises and other protocols to begin doing daily. Within a few short weeks I had noticed a massive reduction in my symptoms. A few weeks after that I was completely pain free!!! I couldn’t believe it as I had been suffering for over 14 months!!!
​
Since then, I have been able to complete my first Iron Man. Without his knowledge and expertise, I doubt that I ever would have been able to do this. He is a great character and I see him as a close friend now.
Thanks Pain Man, I love you bro!!! :)
Carol
I started working with Jannie over 3 years ago. An accident at a hotel lead to me developing severe lower back pain. Physios, osteopaths and other professionals could only ever provide me with temporary relief from the pain.
​
From the moment I met Jannie I knew he was different. He promised me that as long as I listened and followed his instructions to a T, I could one day be pain free. That’s exactly what happened. A few months later I literally got my life back from chronic pain that had been plaguing me for so long.
​
My next question from Jannie was; what can we do now? He recommended that I begin working with him on my strength, fitness and overall conditioning. Working with him is an absolute joy. Sessions with him are fun and engaging and we always have a laugh as well. Don’t think about beginning your journey with him, just do it now!!!

I have always been active in sports. Fencing first and foremost followed by running, swimming and weight training. I begun my journey with Jannie after suffering from a persistent pain in my shoulder which no other professional could fix.
I had just about given up, when I saw Jannie's advert poster in my local gym at the time. I wanted to give him a try but needed reassurance first. Jannie was happy to put me in contact with several of his clients who even let me speak with them over the phone, in regards to their journey with him.
​
After my first session with him I was sold on his services. His professionalism and attention to detail are second to none. He had completely addressed my shoulder issue within weeks of our first session.
​
Following on from this, he has given me several sports specific strength training programs so that I can continue doing what I love, to a high standard. What are you waiting for? Book in with him and watch the magic happen. :)

I've been training with Jannie for over two years, and I honestly can't imagine my fitness journey without him. We started with rehab after a shoulder injury and thanks to his care and expertise I recovered stronger than I ever expected. Since then he’s helped me build a solid foundation and now we’re fully into a strength training programme — something I never thought I’d enjoy this much!
What makes Jannie stand out is his ability to read exactly what I need — whether it’s treatment, encouragement, or a bit of a push. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, always supportive, and genuinely cares about helping me reach my goals. Training with him has been a game-changer, both physically and mentally.
​
Thank you.
HUGH
​I've been seeing Jannie for several years, starting with a shoulder issue that left me unable to lift my arms above shoulder height. Thanks to his expert treatment and care that problem was fully resolved. Since then he's helped me work through a range of muscular issues with great results.
Most recently, after a hip replacement, Jannie has been absolutely integral to my rehabilitation and ultimately my recovery. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care make all the difference. I always leave feeling better, stronger, and more mobile. I can't recommend Jannie highly enough, he's an exceptional therapist and a true professional.

I was recommended Jannie from my friend Dave. Being a competitive cyclist and Iron Man triathlete, I was struggling with a plethora of injuries and niggles. Jannie put me through an initial assessment and it was determined that I was struggling with several mobility, strength and stability issues.
​
From there he used massage, rehabilitative exercises as well as stretching to begin my treatment. All my pains and niggles had disappeared in around 12 weeks. What I love about Jannie is his no nonsense approach to telling me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear.
​
Its several years later now and I still see him for treatment, although far less frequently than I did at the beginning. His teaching has stayed with me and as long as I continue to do the work, I remain pain free.
​
Thanks Jannie, ABSOLUTE LEGEND mate.
ellie
I have always been a very active person. I run, bike, swim and lift weights. My job in the fire service means that I always need a decent level of fitness to perform at the highest level possible.
​
Around 1 year ago I began suffering from pain that ran all the way down from my hip to my ankle on one side. This was becoming a serious problem as it was starting to affect my exercise and job. I heard about Jannie from several friends in my area, all of which couldn’t praise him enough.
​
Once I booked my first session with him, I realised why he came so highly recommended. He immediately, following assessment knew what was wrong with me and the approach that would work to make me better. Jannie combined soft tissue work with sports specific strength training. I got great results.
​
Within 10 sessions I was pain free. I continue to see Jannie as I truly believe he is at the highest levels of his chosen field.
​
Thanks Jannie, I so very much appreciate what you have done for me.

Injury Jesus
I was recommended to Jannie after suffering a slipped disc in my lower back. I had been suffering for over 6 months. I gave my MRI results to Jannie. Up to this point I had injections and physio visits, but nothing worked. All the other therapists pointed me towards surgery as my last chance to get pain free!!
I booked 10 sessions with Jannie and instantly knew this guy was different. We had a consultation and a physical assessment to start planning. I was sent all my exercises through WhatsApp with himself showing me exactly how to do them. He also asked me to send video of myself doing them, to make sure I was doing them correctly.
​
Jannie also gave me a list of supplements and a strict water intake protocol to help with my recovery. Within 5 of my sessions, I felt a difference and was completely mobile and relatively pain free. After my first 10 session I was so happy with progress, that I booked some more sessions to carry on and to start working on a shoulder issue I’ve had for years.
​
I will continue to see Jannie for fitness and rehabilitation of all my ailments. I am now booked to do a wolf run in September. Cheers bro for everything, I would not only recommend Jannie I would insist on seeing him. The guy saved me from having to have life changing surgery. If you yourself are looking at surgery as a last resort for any physical injuries, before you commit to it, go and see Jannie because if anyone can fix you it’s this guy.
HOLLIE
I booked a session with Jannie in February 2022. Unsure of how personal training actually worked, it was a big thing for as in 2014 I was in an accident whilst on my bike. I suffered 12 spinal fractures a fractured pelvis as well as fractures to all of my ribs.
This accident not only affected me physically but also caused a lot of anxiety especially when it came to getting into the gym again.
From the very first session Jannie made it interesting and incorporated exercises that would help strengthen my back. He explained both, what we were doing and how it would help me. Every session is tailored to my needs and is set out in a way that is both challenging but also achievable.
He encourages me to set goals and assessed my fitness from the very start. This was extremely motivating and has helped keep my training on track. We perform retests on a regular basis.
I find that Jannie creates such a positive atmosphere with everyone, not just his clients. He makes it so people want to be there. His knowledge of anatomy, injury rehabilitation and fitness training is excellent. I have strengthened my back, lost over a stone and have even recently started completing tough challenges like the 3 Peaks since I began training with him!!!
Thank you Jamie, I would highly recommend you to anyone.

After injuring my back several years ago I started training with Jannie to improve my core strength and prevent a recurrence and that’s exactly what we have achieved. I like that the programs we do are tailored to me and my needs (and Jannie keeps them interesting and varied). As I have gotten fitter and remain pain free, we have expanded to focus on balance, flexibility and strength, all of which is equally important for ladies of my age!
If you are thinking of using Jannie, then I highly recommend that you do.

10 years ago I had the first of two hip replacements at age 46. These were successful operations and I did the rehab and kept doing the activities I enjoy (skiing, off-road biking, sailing). After a decade without a focussed program, I knew that my that flexibility and strength were deteriorating.
When I began training with Jannie, the first focus was flexibility. I am now so much more comfortable in everyday life, as improving my flexibility has lead to more efficient movement. We now focus on strength work as well as fitness. I am noticing great improvements all round. Throughout this process, Jannie has been encouraging, realistic, hugely knowledgeable and I’m delighted with the results.
​
Highly recommended.
Marlene
I was diagnosed several years ago with osteopenia, which is early onset osteoporosis. My physician suggested that I begin strength training to help in treating the condition. Noticing Jannie's poster at my local gym at the time, I saw that he was a specialist in helping clients with conditions like mine.
​
Jannie was very approachable and understood my situation very well. His knowledge and training methods are excellent. Over the past 2.5 years he has helped me improve my strength, mobility, posture and most importantly, my bone density.
​
He is a lovely, bubbly young man with a great sense of humour. Jannie always knows how to get the most out of me during our sessions, even when I don’t feel like exercising. He is a real pleasure to work with and practices what he preaches.
​
I cannot recommend him highly enough. Strike while the iron is hot and get booked in. You won’t regret it.
chris
Jannie is a superb rehabilitation and strength specialist, one at the top of his game. My personal experience with Jannie saw him take me on as a client with a severe spinal disc herniation, one most medical professionals would have recommended for surgery. Jannie is dedicated to healing people as naturally as possible and through his methodologies I was able to make a full recovery, without surgery.
I am now back to full sporting activities, deadlifting and squatting with heavy weight as I did before the injury. I have seen Jannie now again for a subsequent sport-related injury, which he helped me to heal just as effectively. I can thoroughly recommend Jannie and his treatment programs. He is widely knowledgeable about the whole human body and by far the best of all the practitioners I have ever worked with.
​
Thanks Jannie
Emma
I started training with Jannie in January 2022. I was approaching my 50th and realised I was overweight, feeling unfit and had a pain in my right hip. After just 6 months of training with him I lost a significant amount of body fat, added on muscle and the pain in my hip completely disappeared.
​
Jannie's approach is fun, methodical and engaging. Our sessions are always varied taking into consideration my individual needs. They range from boxing and hit circuits, to strength work with weights and core equipment. What sets Jannie apart from other trainers is the huge amount of help and emotional support he provides.
He’s always willing to listen and help, in so many other ways than just getting you fit. I also like the fact that he does regular check-ins and re assessments to see how I am making progress. After 3 years of training with him by this point, I really couldn’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking to better themselves through health and fitness.
adam
I began seeing Jannie after suffering from systemic pain, mostly in my shoulders, hips and neck. He was my last attempt with therapy as I had previously seen lots of different practitioners who could only ever provide me with temporary relief from the pain.
​
I was recommended Jannie by another of his clients Hugh. When we began working together, he initially assessed me and determined I had several musculoskeletal issues that were leading to my pain. His ethos was always to treat the cause and not the symptoms in isolation.
​
This approach has worked fantastically and beyond my expectations. I see him once a week for exercise and treatment. I can’t think of anyone who is as knowledgeable and professional, whilst at the same time being a genuinely cool person.
​
If you are on the fence about seeing him, don’t be. The only regret you will have is not seeing him sooner.
NIKKI
Jannie was recommended to me by two friends who couldn’t praise him enough. March 2024 I ruptured my Achilles tendon, I’m 58 and fairly fit with a good understanding of health & fitness. The NHS could not start my physio for 6 weeks so I started with Jannie as I knew the sooner I started, the sooner recovery could begin.
​
I had 20 sessions with him, whilst my injury was to my Achilles, Jannie looked assessed my whole body and worked with me to to achieve much more than I expected.
​
He’s so motivational and I like the way he gives me videos of my home exercise, at the end of each session so I can make sure I'm doing them correctly. Jannie is extremely good at what he does and will give you 110%.
​
DO WHAT HE SAYS!!
​
You WILL get amazing results if YOU put the work in.
DORA
I first went to the doctor for knee pain when I was just 10 years old. After struggling with it for so long, I thought the pain would be something I had to live with forever.
When Jannie was recommended to me, he assessed my condition and with his true expert knowledge, created a targeted exercise plan to strengthen the muscles around the area which was causing me pain. These exercises have truly changed my life and I remain completely pain free.
Jannie’s professionalism extends past the physical session, as he sends me videos of the exercises we've covered — but only once he’s confident I’m performing them correctly. This careful approach ensures I never risk making the injury worse through poor technique.
I can’t thank Jannie enough for giving me the tools and knowledge to improve my physical health. I recommend him to everyone I know with musculoskeletal or sports-related issues. My only regret is not finding him sooner!
Emma
I started my healing journey with Jannie because my entire body was in pain. We worked together and gradually he healed my body over time. His gentle approach and in-depth knowledge of my injuries were key in my healing process.
​
He used both soft tissue work and remedial exercises early on but later we begun to work on my strength and flexibility. This was to make sure my pain didn’t return.
​
Jannie is very professional and due to his flexibility when it comes to session timings, I can fit them into my busy life. Being a mum suffering with physical pain wasn’t easy, but throughout this journey, Jannie has shown me so much support and encouragement.
​
Through his teaching I have become more knowledgeable about my own body. I now go to the gym most days to keep working on my health, fitness and wellbeing.
