What Do Our Clients and Team Members Say?
Allison, Nottingham – Lost 9 stones in 10 months without her ever going to a ‘gym’!
“If you’re wondering if’s Jon’s as good as he says he is…well he is!
I’ve trained with Jon for 10 months and having lost around nince stone I can’t thank him enough and will really miss training with him. He’s turned me from a 20 stone plus couch potato into someone who weighs 10 stone, loves cycling, trains and exercises every week and is planning to do the Notts half marathon this year. I’ve learned a lot about nutrition and healthy lifestyles and can’t imagine living any other way now. None of this would’ve happened if I hadn’t taken that initial step to get in touch with him!”
Dewald Senekal, Professional Rugby star at RFC Toulon, France…
“I came over to Guernsey to work with Jon for 4 weeks after a string of major issues which stopped me playing and training with my team properly. Jon got me thinking outside the box and outside of the typical gym environment and high protein diets I’m used to.
I can honestly say I’ve broken physical and mental barriers and found all the answers with Jon. The training has been challenging and incorporated movements that should be part of everyone’s training program. My body has responded amazingly well and we dropped my body fat by quite a few percentage points in just 4 weeks.
I’ve stopped being such a huge meat monger and living on up to 8 protein shakes a day and now I’m no longer tired midweek or getting sugar cravings nearly as bad. My recovery is much better and inflammation in my joints has dramatically reduced.
I’ve got a lot of respect for Jon as he gets involved in my training which you don’t get with a lot of trainers – we pushed through it together.
Thank you join for an amazing 4 weeks in Guernsey.”
Sian Galliene, Guernsey – Lost 20lbs and is a Size 12 again!
“Well all i can say, is it is the best thing i have ever done, i have lost 20lbs and am now in a size 12 jeans for the first time in 5yrs!!!! I can push and pull the prowler with weight on (i could just about push it one length empty when i started) I can roll big massive tractor tyres (i felt such a sense of achievment after doing this), i always leave camp feeling full of energy and now drink water +++ something i never did enough of before and i try as much as i can to stick to the diet, i love nuts can eat stir fry without needing noodles added to it, because yes vegetables are very filling even without the added carbs. I have my Fatty Photo on my phone as a reminder of how i was, i still want to loose more weight and i am motivated to carry on.”
Andy, Nottingham – Annoyed at having to buy new pants all the time!
Adrian Tourtel, Guernsey – Lost 3 stones in 3 months and greatly improved his asthma!
“When my wife started boot camp I must admit I was sceptical to say the least!
After a couple of weeks I could see the energy she had and that she was really enjoying the whole regime. So I thought let’s give it a go and joined.
Well 3 camps down the road I have lost 3 stone and my fitness has increased dramatically!!! At first it was hard to stick to the diet and must admit that I still probably eat too much fruit. But with Jon’s guidance it was great to see me feel more energy just by changing my diet. The amazing thing is I just don’t get hunger pains like I used to. Now whether this is due to the supplements I don’t know but it works!!
The work outs are hard and at times it felt like hell running around the Guet doing the dirty thirty or any of the other challenges but the guys were always there to support and encourage you to stay focused and not give up. The mix up between outdoor (summer) and the ever changing indoor circuits keeps it fresh and challenging. Over the last 20 years I have been to gyms and sat on a bike, rowing machine etc but got bored and wasted money by not attending and giving up before I had even seen any changes. But these guys keep the motivation going so you want to carry on. I am even missing it on our week off. Now for me that is mad!
As well as shedding 3 stone and having to buy new clothes my asthma is almost nonexistent. When I started I was using my inhalers throughout the day steroids to prevent it and another to help when I had an attack. Now I hardly use the steroid perhaps one puff every 2 days instead of 4 a day as prescribed and most of the time I don’t even carry one with me. For me this is fantastic as I have suffered for years and the last ten years have been getting worse.
I now cannot wait for the next camp to start and thanks guys for the new lease of life.”
Jemma went from being overweight to competing in half-iron man triathlon events and the infamous Tough Guy event!
Neil S, – Lost 24kg (53lbs) in 5 months despite the usual ‘excuses’ of kids and a stressful job!
Mandy M, Guernsey – IBS eliminated and much better joints
“My background is in nursing and I am an advanced remedial massage therapist and fully aware of how the body works. It was sheer delight to be shown, and constantly encouraged, how to maintain a healthy nutritionally balanced diet for life, along with excellent body toning exercises. I was diagnosed with ME 8 yrs ago and still suffer from ‘weak’ spots, I also have asthma, IBS and suffer from arthritis.
My asthma is better controlled, I have not had any IBS symptoms since beginning the nutritional side of things, my ‘weak’ spots (extreme lethargy) are being put through their paces but I do seem to recover more quickly than I have ever done before. I am now out of my bed same time as my boys in the morning instead of struggling to move.
The weight loss (15lbs first fit camp with 20inchs lost all over body) is helping my joints and I have noticed a massive improvement in my overall endurance and strength, something that has been lacking for 8 yrs.
I am on my second camp and have signed up basically for life! I now have started introducing my son to better nutrition with all the research behind it supplied by Jon as well as fitness, and hope to get him into GFC for kids soon. GFC is life changing but only if you want to change your life. I did, and I still do! It worked for me.”
Chris Warden, New York strength and conditioning coach…
“Jon ‘gets it.’ He understands that to get fast results that last a lifetime, you have to cultivate fitness THROUGH health. And he designs strength training programs that not only get you fit FAST, but that are built on a foundation of quality nutrition and lifestyle coaching to ensure that your results are just that — QUALITY. Jon puts everything he has into his study and application of what he learns . . . and that’s why I’m happy to have him in my life as a coach, providing me with training that effectively delivers the results I’m looking for.”
Gary Clarke, Sheffield
“Since meeting Jon, I have lost a total of 31 lbs and a load of inches around my waist and hips. I wasn’t hugely overweight, but knew I was heading that way and this was starting to effect confidence.Following my transformation, I now follow the nutrition plan that Jon gave me, I continue to follow the advice Jon gave me and look forward to improving results in the future culminating in competing the London Marathon 2011!”
Petra Schumann, Arizona…
“I’m so happy that I found Jon. I tried so many different programs to lose weight and failed miserably every time. With Jon it was different – and in 6 short weeks, following his exercise and nutrition plans, I lost 9lbs and 15.5 inches; 4.25 inches off my waist alone. It was hard work, but I would wholeheartedly recommend Jon’s program to anyone who wants to lose unwanted fat.”
Martin Cottell, Guernsey – The support and variation are the key!
“Guernsey Fitness Camp is fantastic with variation in routine supported by guys who genuinely care about your fitness pushing you to do better and improve overall fitness.
I have found that nutrition is key and the support and direction in this area has been fantastic, I have changed my eating habits and feel more alert and ready to jump out of bed in the morning.
I initially only intended to do one camp, after 3 weeks I have signed up for another 3!”
Lucy Hull, Derby – Transformed herself for her wedding day
Rhona Humphries, Guernsey – Fibromyalgia has disappeared!
“2 years ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia – my body ached constantly. As someone who has always liked food, and kept the weigh off with exercise I found myself becoming much less active but continuing to eat. Two and a half stone later something had to be done.
I saw the advert for the 4 week fitness camp – and to be honest decided I could put up with aching from exercise for 4 weeks – and that would solve my problem.
Well….. 4 weeks in – having lost 10 pounds completely changed my diet, not only did I feel more energetic full of energy, and thinner – I have not ached from the Fybromyalgia either – honestly. This has become a life change for me – I cannot imagine going back to how I was. Thank you Jon.”
Tom, Coventry – Got his abs back with online training!
Faye Tulie, Guernsey – Fat loss, energy boosted and no more boring gym/running!
“When i first signed up all was well then reality hit what have i done! Feeling just slightly nervous about what i had let myself in for i was a bit doubious as to how i was going to feel and change.First night i almost backed out but some how stayed now all i can say is that it was the best decision i made. The first week was not one of my best but knew from others that that would pass and it did.Even after the first session i was looking forward to the next and then really looked forward to the future ones.The nutrition plan wasnt easy at first but soon got into the swing of it (sort of).
The second week i really started to see result in weight loss and the inches started to come off and all of a sudden i felt like a brighter happy me was comming back and felt more alive that i had done in ages. Up to now i have lost half a stone and 3 inches off my waist and cant really believe i had left it this long to do something about it ,after years of slogging it out at the gym /running with nothing to show for it its good to see results already .So much so i have signed up for another camp and cant wait to see what happens in the next few weeks.
Thanks to Jon and the guys for the support they give and the moral that every one helps each other along is absolutely fantastic.”
Kerry G, Nottingham – Dropped over 25lbs of body fat 4 inches off her waist and 5 inches off her hips
Louise, Derby – Lost loads of inches off her waist – this was after only 4 weeks!
Tom, Nottingham – Got lean even as a student!
Martin Gregson, W.Bridgford – Thought he’d ‘tried everything’…
“Having suffered with PVFS (Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome) or ME (Myalgic Encephalopathy) as most doctors refer for what is an illness of uncertain cause and cannot be identified, for over 10 years after contracting a life threatening virus whilst travelling. I generally had no energy, no strength and was constantly tied.
I have tried everything and anything from, acupuncture to Reike, every wonder juice and alternative medicine known to man, to no avail.
To make matters worse 7 years ago I had a prolapsed disc in my lower back, which resulted in surgery and 6 x weeks layed up. Since this I have lost total confidence in the ability to exercise, firstly the PVFC loses all will to do anything, and the fear for further injury to my back put a stop to pretty much any form of exercise.
My strength dwindled and my weight gained to a hefty very unfit 17 stone, like everybody i have dieted, and can never get below 16 and ½ stone.
10 weeks ago I went to see Jon Le Tocq, and after a consultation with Jon, he put together a nutrition plan and a fitness routine that will help give me more energy, strengthen my back and general well being.
I am now 14 stone 6, running 5k in 35 minutes and dead lifting 110kg. After 10 weeks!!!!
110kg may not be a lot to some, but believe me when you have struggled to pick up a 20kg suitcase on holiday, it’s a big deal.
Most importantly of all, my energy levels have increased massively, I get to 2.30pm without feeling the need for a sleep, andcan keep focused in meetings well into the evening. Don’t get me wrong, I have a long way to go, but after 10 years of struggling at last I’m getting somewhere.
Jon’s unique method of training, nutritional advice, support and motivation have made a life changing difference to me.
I will be forever grateful.”
Ema Swingwood, Nottingham
“I haven’t enjoyed exercising as much as I have since training both within the circuit classes and Personal Training sessions.Yes, it’s always tougher than tough but the results come. Your motivation and enthusiasm is infectious, and because you want us to get results, we want to achieve the results. I think when I first started training with you I was still in the mind set of coming 2nd.
Whenever I did a race I’d do the training but never go that one step further to really achieve…..my PT sessions have changed this, I seem to have my ummph back and now have the guts to set targets that will require hard work rather than ones that are more than achievable (if that makes sense?)! So I am aiming for a sub 3.45 marathon and also not to be overtaken by anyone dressed as a Peperami sausage (which happened last time!!). I’ll also do the Notts half and aim to get sub 1.40 at least…its got to happen one day?!”
Maria Wills, Nottingham – “Life changing”
“As absolutely gutted as I am, Si and I too want to wish you all the very best wishes for your new venture together. We will really miss you both but hope that we will keep in touch and even come to visit for a boot camp or two! I cannot put into words what the last 3 years have meant to me Jon, you know what a massive difference you have made to my life.”
Si Wills, Nottingham – Dramatic effects mentally and physically
“Jon, I just want to say that whilst I have not taken up the PT aspect of your work, the effect that you have had in inspiring Maria to change her outlook on life has (eventually !!) gotten through to me as well.
Last October I think I finally started to understand what exactly is required to change a ‘style of life’ in to a lifestyle that has had quite dramatic effects on both my physical and mental well being – I know that you will make a huge postive difference wherever life takes you.
I will of course see you many times before you actually leave but take this as a -big thanks – for the positive effect that you have the ability to deliver”
Darren Checkley – Coventry and Warwickshire’s leading personal trainer and martial artist
“Every good trainer needs someone to push them, I choose Jon.
His methods for rapidly improving both strength and conditioning have to be experienced to be believed. I have improved my squats, deadlifts and presses by at least 10% in only 4 weeks and my striking (kicking and punching) power has gone through the roof. I’m actually looking forward to the gruelling winter Tough Guy as a result of following Jon’s programme.”
Dr Rachel Britton (GP), Nottingham – “Utterly inspired”
“Jon,
I read your letter about leaving with sadness but truly wish you and Liz the very very best for your future. You are an utterly inspiring person who has helped many people to make huge changes in their lives. For me the sessions have not been about something I just do, but about something I love doing, gives me a huge buzz and makes me realise I can do a lot more than I thought I could, partly in exercise but overall in life in general.
I may be a ‘slow burner’ (deciding to do Tough Guy at the 3rdopportunity!) but the changes are there and have made me a much happier and more fulfilled person. I often say that if I had the time and money I would be in the studio every day.”
