“…Now I can’t wait to build a gym of my own with kettlebells at the centre.”
Oystein is a client of mine and I want to introduce his story. Whilst kettlebells is one of my huge strengths it’s not my only tool for getting the job done.
For years, Oystein had been on and off with the gym and jogging.
He could stay motivated for a while, but struggled to maintain momentum.
He wanted someone to help him:
• Stay accountable
• Train effectively
• Build consistency
• Invest in himself
An old bicep injury had been limiting his strength for years.
He’d become so used to the weakness that he didn’t realise it wasn’t normal.
So we adapted his training around his recovery and connected him with the right specialist.
In fact, Oystein says he was a little intimidated by them.
He also assumed injury rehabilitation wasn’t something he needed.
He was wrong about both.
Kettlebells helped Oystein:
→ Make training more engaging
→ Develop whole-body strength
→ Feel a greater sense of mastery
→ Become more confident training independently
…with kettlebells as the main part.
That’s a pretty big change from someone who initially wasn’t sure kettlebells were for him.
“We always have great conversations, which makes the hour fly by.”
“It’s like going to the gym with a friend.”
— Oystein
So unfortunately, our in-person sessions have to come to an end.
But he’s continuing with online with me as his coach.
Because the goal isn’t to make you dependent on your PT.
It’s to give you the knowledge, confidence and momentum to keep progressing.
“Working with JJ has made a real difference. He’s knowledgeable, adaptable and genuinely invested in helping you succeed. Every session is tailored to your goals, schedule and how you’re feeling, while still being enjoyable — it’s like going to the gym with a friend.
I’m now moving away from Hinckley, so I’m sad our in-person sessions are ending, but I’m excited to continue with JJ through online coaching, with him as my personal support as I become more independent with my training.
I’d strongly recommend JJ to anyone looking for a coach who genuinely cares about helping you progress.”
