“He does not give you more to do. He builds things with you.”
When you reach a point in your life where you’re looking for help, finding the right assistance to move you in the right direction is critical.
I came across Jake purely by accident after not clicking with a couple of other coaches. Jake and I got on really well in our first Zoom and within 24 hours I had a gym workout, calories guidance and information I had requested.
Since working with Jake I have gone from being too scared to walk, in case I fell, to completing a 3.72km walk last Sunday. I swim 3–5 times a week and in June completed 100 laps of a 25m pool. In January I was swimming 12 laps. I’m also down 27kg as a side effect of simply eating better and moving more.
Working with Jake has given me the confidence to have a go at things I would not have tried before (including the rower at the gym — I hate it, but I can do it).
Jake meets you where you are at. He does not give you more to do. He builds things with you; talking with you at every step. If you are honest with him, he will guide you to your best self.
I can honestly say that working with Jake has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. If you are ready to change your life for the better, then reach out, have a conversation and your future self will thank you.

“He’s helped me let go of guilt around putting myself first.”
Jake has an incredible gift. He has a way of helping you see what’s been sitting within you all along, but you haven’t been able to recognise for yourself.
Working with him has completely shifted the way I see myself. He’s helped me gain clarity, recognise patterns, let go of guilt around putting myself first, and understand what I actually need to feel calmer, stronger and more at peace.
What makes Jake so special is the way he guides you there. He creates a space where you feel supported, understood and able to be completely honest with yourself, while gently challenging you to look deeper.
I’m feeling like something had genuinely unlocked within me. I’m excited about the person I’m becoming and the journey ahead.
Jake is truly gifted at what he does, and I genuinely believe this is exactly what he is meant to be doing. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

“For the first time, I genuinely believe I can make these changes last.”
Before working with Jake, I had tried just about everything. Every fad diet, every quick fix out there. Some of them worked for a while, but the problem was that the weight always came back. I wasn’t learning anything, I wasn’t changing the habits behind it, and I found myself stuck in the same frustrating cycle over and over again.
When I started with Jake, I came with plenty of challenges. I have Hashimoto’s, a stressful job that can sometimes mean long hours, a toddler, and, if I’m being completely honest, I still had that “quick fix” mindset.
What I discovered very quickly was that Jake is completely different from anyone I had worked with before. You aren’t just another number to him. He genuinely cares about you, your circumstances and your goals, and he actually wants to understand why you’re struggling rather than simply giving you another generic plan.
Jake identified “roadblocks” along the way that I hadn’t even considered could be contributing to my constant weight fluctuations. He doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. He investigates, researches and constantly continues learning so he can better understand the people he works with.
In my case, he took the time to learn about Hashimoto’s and understand how things like food, stress and lifestyle can affect my condition. He then worked with me to develop an approach that actually took all of these things into consideration, rather than expecting me to fit into a standard plan.
He’ll be your cheerleader from day one, but he’ll also challenge you, educate you and help you understand the why behind what you’re doing. Choosing Jake was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself.

“Jake will do everything in his power to find a way to help you succeed.”
I’m so grateful for Jake. The poor guy has had it tough with me, not because I’m not compliant but because with health issues etc it’s made it difficult.
If you want a coach who will do everything in his power to find a way to help you succeed then Jake is your guy!
I also love that he’s not just all about the food and exercise but gets you to work on other aspects of yourself. I highly recommend Jake.
