Testimonials about James Monk
Advanced Personal Trainer - Eastbourne
These are just a few of the very kind comments my clients have made about my personal training. I deal with a wide cross section of people - young and not so young - male and female - wanting to lose weight or gain weight, improve cardio, increase muscle power, tone and condition the body, look and feel good etc. The one common denominator of my clients is that they want achieve a personal goal!

"Literally can't thank James enough when I met him 5 weeks ago to book 15 personal training sessions (to get in shape for my holiday). I never thought I would have done as well as I have! Not only have I changed in my appearance but my mind set has also changed, something I never could have changed alone! James has been there for me the whole way through with tips, motivation and just pushing me as hard as I could possibly push myself. Had my measurements done today and over the moon with the results! Thank you so much James Monk - highly recommend to anyone wanting to reach there goals or just up there game! Now time to put down the weights and pick up the cocktails!"

"So today whilst training with James Monk he showed me my photos we took when I first started training with him . ( I was horrified ) let's just say this was the start of my journey I can't believe how far I have come training with him at performance fitness in Eastbourne , let alone my confidence has grown .. I have learnt so much regarding the importance of eating/diet and exercise . Hand on heart I actually enjoy every session even though the next day it kills . This is just the beginning and I am proud of how far I've come and still more to come . Thank you for your support James"

"Thank you and thank you again James Monk!! Can not tell you how much I enjoyed today's session and I have defeated my nemesis that was depth, feels amazing!!. You wouldn't give up on me and what you knew I could do, I just had to believe I could too and wouldn't have stopped until I'd achieved it!! A thousand times thank you!! So pleased to have ended the year having smashed this goal of mine"
Having 4 young children and 2 businesses to run, means I didn't have a lot of spare time to put in to a training plan by myself. For the last 7 months, James Monk has taken all the stress out of it for me and made it fun again! Not only does he push me to achieve more, but he knows exactly where I'm at and has helped keep me motivated! The results I've seen so far have pushed me to want more from my training and I couldn't recommend him as a PT enough!! Thank you James!

Seriously won't find anyone more dedicated and true too word as a PT... if you are RESULTS driven, then James Monk Psnl can't be recommended enough!!! Go go go people....This is my comparison pic so far- 20 weeks difference. No bullshit, NO gimmicks NO pills NO potions NO meal replacements or expensive pills.... I contacted THE best PT, who gave me a total food plan (and no it's not rabbit food lol) amazing advice, gives me consistent help, and guides me through each and every one of my PT sessions with ease and understanding and patience. And the best part is I have total support and help from him as and when I need it... James has helped me too see what I can be, to focus my mind and continually helps me to become the best physical version of me.... and of course my confidence has grown massively too. I have a long way too go, and am SO excited for what 2017 is gonna bring me.. what could it bring you?..... message or call him.... weightloss/toning/powerlifting/bodybuilding/strongman/marathon training... etc.. whatever the goal...

"So today is not just a very happy and proud moment for myself as a trainer, but also my client Elaine H😀. It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you the results of her 16 week journey with me. Elaine has lost a whopping 23kg in BODYWEIGHT (3.6 stone to be exact lol), her body fat percentage has dropped significantly too and she has lost a total of 53.5 inches total from her whole body!!! That is insane 🙈. She has come a long way since her nervous first days in the ...gym with me. This is a lady who has given me nothing but 100 percent since day one. She has listened, been attentive and took all my advice and acted on it, and as a trainer that's all I can ask of from my clients. One of the most dedicated people I have met, she deserves all the praise in the world and should be mega proud of herself cos I certainly am. No gimmicks here. No fat burners, no miracle pills, no dangerous or fad diets, just hard work, healthy eating and a tremendous work ethic!! Well done Elaine you deserve this. Bring on the next 16 weeks 💪🏽."
"Considering when I started I could barely squat with 10 kgs, and today I squatted with 37 kg!! feeling quite proud of myself. Thank you James Monk - I know I will feel this later!!"
Emily G Sept 2016
"So in 6 weeks i have lost 10kg...and 38inches... wow. Just WOW!!! Literally floored... thank god i made the best decision too start something totally new too me. And now? I am more determined than ever, and SO pumped for the next 6 weeks....
No meal replacement shakes and bars, no shitty fad diets, no starving myself and no bloody fatloss/eyeofnewt/slimmingtea pills... just clean eating, upping water intake and plenty of structured exercise with the best PT going. If anyone is wanting advice on nutrition/exercise or wanting too change your body (and way of thinking) then please contact James Monk PT because i can promise you first hand it will be the best decision you make!! JAMES MONK YOU ARE THE 💣👌"

I'm three weeks into James Monk PT 6 week booty summer programme. On top of the weight I had lost I've lost a further 6lbs and my body fat has dropped dramatically. My bum (that I've been trying to grow for years) has now popped out. Finally!! I have worked my arse off these past few weeks (quite literally) - but it's now a routine and I love the programme and diet so much!! It appears to really work for me. I can't thank James enough, he listened to what I was doing previously then worked out something around me and my hours. He listened to what I wanted to work on then not just told me what to do, but showed me how to do it properly. My body looks completely different! I'm so excited to see what the next few months has to offer other than blood sweat and tears 🙈😂 Kicking myself that I didn't get in contact with James sooner!

"Just had my 1st outdoor pt... and loved it!! (Well bear crawls can TOTALLY do one lol) but just changing things up is making such a difference, and neing outdoors was so refreshing. Boxing, circuits, weights... cardio... OH the cardio... lol.. if anyone is interested the please guys, message James Monk PT cos he really is awesome. My results so far are insane... 4 weeks in and im shrinking by the day... loooooong way too go, but i CAN and i WILL reach my goals... and all the while i have someone too help push me and smash those obsticles i cant help but feel like im winning...👊💪👌 bring on this new week ahead" 😈 xx
Elaine H July 2016
"I can genuinly say that james has been so so motivational, so dedicated too my training and so helpful, that as a complete beginner myself, i honestly couldnt have found a better trainer. I feel like he has listened too what my aims are, figured out and easy too follow nutritional plan, given me clear and knowledgable information and great guidance in the gym. And the best part? I have only been training for 1 week and my results are ALREADY visible. You couldn't possibly be disappointed... i'm literally so excited for the future and what we can achieve together, becuse without your help james I'd be lost".

"Such an incredibly talented man, his knowledge of the Health & Fitness industry is never ending... I had the pleasure of meeting him while he was in Perth on holiday.. If you wanting to make changes to your life and want to get results then James is your man... His positive outlook on life is infectious and he is extremely motivating... I highly recommend him"
Eloise Clark April 2016
"Outstanding! James managed to create a workout and diet plan that was easy for me to follow and stick to! By far one of the best plans I've ever had! Week 3 of the plan was very intense and required some motivation from James and it was money well spent! He pushed me to my limit and beyond. Looking forward to the next 6 weeks of my plan! Bring it on. I would highly recommend James for anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals!"

*"Used James for personal training to lose weight and tone up prior to a friend getting married and the big day. Highly motivated guy who produced a training plan and more importantly a good nutrition guide, no more junk food! Worked wonders and I lost a lot of weight really quickly - recommended"
*"If you are in to Powerlfting or even Strongman James is a good guy to talk to. He competes at both events himself at a high level. Works with and has colleagues who are seriosly good so, lots of extra help around and all the wquipment and facilities you could ask for."
*"Key thing I learned from James was how important a good diet is when you are losing weight - combined with the exercise - did bot realise how "junk" my diet was! Feel great now and lost a lot of pounds."
