I believe that the key to making exercise part of your life is to enjoy it – the feeling you get whilst you’re doing it, and how you feel afterwards.

Hi, I’m Jackie, the founder of JJ Fitness.
Sport and exercise have always been part of my life; especially running, cycling, group fitness and hockey. I am also partial to a challenge – most recently completing a full Tough Mudder and the 3 peaks Challenge in 24 hours.
After having my first child 10 years ago I decided to re-evaluate what I wanted to do with my life; my old office job didn’t fit around children, and I wanted to do something I could be passionate about. After a few false starts I finally had my epiphany! Retraining as a Personal Trainer ticked all my boxes – I’m a big believer in exercise and its benefits – both mental and physical; I love helping others to achieve their potential, and I had always wanted to develop and run my own business.
I offer personal training in St Albans as well as virtual training to suit every lifestyle.

Small group training
Working out with friends can be more fun, as well as improve your effort levels and results.
It’s also harder to talk yourself out of it if you’ve committed to train with a partner! I can create workout programmes for groups of 2, 3 or 4 people to train together. I will always ensure the exercises are tailored to your own individual ability, so each of you can work at your own level.

The perfect compliment to cardio and resistance training. As a certified Stott Pilates instructor, I will build a progressive programme for you, based on in-depth postural assessment and the latest scientific research.

Virtual training
If you’re working from home or short on time, I offer convenient virtual training sessions that fit in your busy lifestyle.
Clients enjoy these as they are an efficient way of keeping your fitness on track without leaving your home. All virtual programmes are completely tailored and just as challenging as the face to face version!

Pre and post natal
Whether you’re pregnant or have had a baby, I can help you reach your fitness potential.
As a mum of two I know how important it is to feel fit and strong again, and fit back into your normal clothes after having children. After a thorough pre-screening process, I will design a programme which will gradually build up your strength and fitness.
Fitness App
Keep on track in between sessions with scheduled workouts, tips and reminders on my fitness app.
