Coach Jo Taylor

Fantastic experience: Jo is such a wonderful PT!! I’ve worked with Jo for a long time and it’s so clear how much effort she puts into working with every one of her clients. Her sessions are fun, and she gets results! She never just focuses on one aspect, she cares about you as a whole person. I love training with Jo!!

Fantastic experience: Jo has been my coach for the past year and I would not be able to fault her. She is so knowledgeable as a coach and is always striving to push me harder! I like the way she is flexible with my training and will always listen to me and how my body is feeling and adjust any movements accordingly. She is also a lovely person and I look forward to taking her classes.

Negative experience: This is nothing against jungle Gym this is about jo Taylor when I first started small group training with her it was great then we had a clash she would not speak to me in person about it just basically kicked me out of the small group which has not been great on many levels! I thought her purpose was to empower women over 55 she has no communication skills when you run into a clash of personalities treated me poorly an basically ignored me in the training sessions this has impacted me alot and I hope she learns to be more mature when dealing with different personalities...very dissatisfied and do not recommend her go for a trainer that you can communicate with ...it's not her ! Let's straighten out some stuff I had a great time with the ladies and never made them uncomfortable I never missed my payments ever for thee days I trained ...when it's stated that I harassed her that is not true she would not pick up her phone and communicate with me and work things out again extremely immature I have never meet a small buisness owner that won't communicate when there is an issue ! She takes no responsibility in the way she conducted herself yet wants to throw me under the bus ! I never said I was leaving either I am disgusted in her response take accountability like I did least I tried to talk like an adult unlike her ..she wrote to me carnt deal with conflict you are always going to have stuff to deal with running a buisness..really impacted me not training with friendship s I had formed ..Grow up !

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Jo for the past 3 months after a big break & my body is feeling stronger & happier than it has for a long time! Jo has a slow & considered approach to training & an eye for detail, so she quickly identifies where movements need tweaking & communicates the necessary cues in easily digestible language & demos. She is patient & will modify or switch anything that sits outside my individual capacity & always checks in with my energy before the session. Aside from her expert knowledge of the body & movement, Jo is a beautiful, engaged human who is a delight to be around

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing online training with Jo for over a year now, and have seen massive results. Through the online app and weekly check ins, my program is tailored to my progressive goals and adjusted through weekly check ins with feedback videos. I’ve increased my strength in ways I was not able to do through training by myself, and increased my mobility and weaknesses. Jo is responsive during the week if I need support with my program or changes to exercises. It’s allowed me to increase my confidence in the gym and understand what my body can do!

Fantastic experience: I have trained under Jo for many years & she is still best coach I have found!!!! Not only is she incredibly sweet & supportive but she delivers highly professional coaching with the greatest attention to detail ensuring you are developing the correct technique & your training is always to the highest quality. I was very hesitant & felt intimidated to begin weight lift training & avoided it for years whilst I prioritised other types of workouts, but under the guidance & knowledge of Jo, it fast became my favourite style of training. Weightlifting has become a huge anchor in my life - from rehabbing various injuries to building a strong lean body to increasing my self confidence. It has been amazing to see how far I have come from the beginning when I was practicing on a broomstick to now feeling like a strong empowered woman - my only regret is not starting sooner.

I’d never lifted weights much before and from my first session Jo made me feel so comfortable in the weights area of the gym.
