John starts you exactly where you are and works with you from there which for me has been invaluable since I am 70 and want to get stronger but don’t want to hurt myself doing it! He keeps your program varied so you don’t get bored. He has gobs of experience too!. I recommend him for whatever fitness journey you are on.
