TESTIMONIALS

“My name is Kyle Sullivan, I'm part of the Hong Kong National XV Under 20s Rugby Squad. Jacob has been training me over the past month in the IRB Junior World Trophy 2015. The training provided was specific to my position as a winger and focused on improving my rate of force development and explosive power. After training with Jacob I couldn't be more prepared, he has played a major role in terms of acheiving the performance levels I require for this tournament" Kyle Sullivan- Hong Kong Under 20s Rugby

"Jacob Is a very inspiring and motivational Personal Trainer. He is highly knowledgable which results in a thorough and fun workout. Even in a group situation he can adderss your individual abilities or limitations whilst still keeping you challenged throughout the whole session." Nicky N

"From getting injured playing a season of u18s county and regional rugby in 2017, I realised that I needed to regain strength and stability if I was to go further in my rugby. Jacob has been my dads personal trainer for a number of years and it was an easy decision to go to him for advice. From the off he has listened to my needs as a female athlete, providing a personal program tailored to preventing injury and gaining muscle strength he also provided nutritional advice, performance testing, regular training sessions/ check ins and pre-game activation sessions. He has helped me psychologically within training and my sport. All this support has led me to be selected as part of the Harlequins Ladies squad 2017/18 working my way through the ranks and gaining a premiership debut in October 2017, having only played my first game back from a serious injury at the end of September. I now have regular involvement in the 1XV at Harlequins. I am looking forward to working with Jacob in the off season to gain a lot more muscle strength to go into my next season of Harlequins Ladies in the best shape possible!" Ellie Miles- Harlequinns Ladies 1XV Rugby Team 2017

“My son Jamie started training with Jacob when he was just 13 and Jacob worked with him until he went to university. We trained together in father and son sessions which was great. I saw first hand how Jacob’s expertise helped Jamie to become fitter and stronger. This helped him at school and in his sporting activity, including playing football locally. What was pleasing was that Jacob never pushed Jamie to try anything unsuitable for his age and current strength levels. This is very important for young adults who may want to push themselves more than they should. Jacob’s experience was vital to explain why anyone who is training must go at the speed right for them. Jacob is also a great communicator and a really nice bloke to train with. I would recommend his sessions to anyone.” Steve Hemsley (Tunbridge Wells)

"Jacob has been putting together my programmes and coaching me 1:1 since last November. The first few cycles were all aimed at getting me ready to complete an Iron distance triathlon in the summer of 2018 for my 50th birthday. If your not familiar with Ironman distance triathlon it’s a 3.8k swim followed by a 180k bike and topped off with 42.2k run. Jacob’s aim was to make sure my body remained strong throughout the event especially coming off the bike and onto the run. The work we did and his support along the way meant I had good race which I finished with very little discomfort and post race recovery was pain free. Since the summer we have worked on developing and increasing my strength in the squat and bench. Again his knowledge and programming have helped me make gains that probably would not be possible just training on my own while keeping my joints healthy. Knowing there is a coach around who’s non judgemental, asking how I’m doing, making sure the program has relevance and fits into my working week makes a massive difference to wanting to consistently train, improve and remain healthier than most of the general population. The knowledge, desire to keep learning and application of that by all the coaches at EPL is fantastic. I’ve seen and experienced how they can you help you reach your physical potential and take on your personal challenges be it sporting, health related or aesthetic with fantastic results across the board. I’m looking forward to my next cycle and coaching sessions with Jacob to see how much further we can push back the wisdom that older people should stick to low impact cardio (whatever that is) and not lift heavy shit.

"I’ve trained with Jacob for nearly 2 years now and I can’t thank him enough for what he helped me achieve during this time! Since I started training with Jacob I managed to learn a completely new sport. My strength has increased significantly and my technique gets better as the time goes on. During this period I managed to hit number of pbs and qualified for a national competition! Jacob always makes sure I’m motivated and hungry for more. He helped me realise how much impact nutrition has on performance and how much can be achieved by eating properly and following the correct training protocols. Without Jacobs help I wouldn’t be able to do what I can do now. His knowledge and experience helps me believe in myself more and It taught me a lot along the way as well! I would highly recommend Jacob to anyone who is looking for a coach or any nutrition advice! Thanks coach!!" Dawid
