I’m Jon from TransformHub Egham.I'm a man in my 40s with a common story of self-doubt and discovery.I was bullied as a kid, got into weightlifting to feel safe and ended up becoming 'Britain's Strongest School Boy' and won Gold at the British Weightlifting Championships. Unfortunately after the Championships I moved home and stopped weightlifting. Looking for a new sense of meaning I later joined the Army, but after four years I left, and that's when life really took a downward spiral.My misadventures are a story for another time, suffice to say I've gone wayward a couple of times in my adult life, and have fallen into the common cycle of self-medication, substance abuse and negativity.Then one day, my wife-at-the-time poked my protruding belly and uttered three words that changed the course of my life."You're getting fat!"She was right. The endless hours chained to my desk in my life-sucking office job coupled with the booze, self-medicating and bad food meant I'd let myself go. But her harsh words cut deep, so I took action and got myself a PT.Memories of my glory days came back pretty quick. I trained hard and I got great results, and I couldn't believe how positive the impact was on my mental health, my energy and my confidence.It was then I decided to become a PT, so that I could help others feel better too. But even though I loved personal training and got a buzz from the results my many clients achieved, something niggled at me...Being a good PT meant my clients confided in me. They opened up about their relationships, their feelings, their worries and most of all, their stress.I needed to reach more people, and being a lone "1-2-1" PT in a corporate gym wasn't enough... so I opened my first studio in 2015 with the clear goal of creating a much-needed community here to be your support, your mates and your tribe, while we have a load of fun with fitness and get you amazing results.
