Late in 2012, after several years of lower back pain and weakness following a ruptured disc, my doctor advised that I engage in PT sessions to increase strength and reduce pain and limitations to my lifestyle caused by that pain. She specifically recommended Jamie. I began weekly sessions with Jamie in May 2013, working to increase core strength and flexibility of movement. By September 2013 I was able to run 10km Bridge To Brisbane. (Ok, jog, not run. Most of it.) It had been quite a few years since I had been capable of jogging, and it was great having renewed confidence in my body’s ability to undertake the challenge successfully, knowing that the strengthening routines I had been learning were protecting of my back. I am distinctly aware of the improved muscle tone in my abdomen. In addition, I am now very conscious of the way I use my body and engage muscles to safely lift items and to change posture, eg. from sitting to standing. I have recently started casual cycling again (it used to be too difficult to lean forward for periods of time) and am looking forward to putting my just-purchased kayak to good use, something that was unthinkable two years ago. Thanks Jamie.

I like trainers who are straight to the point. I like them to tell me what to do, how to do it, when to do it and correct me when I’m doing something wrong. Jamie did all that. He was available to answer my many questions and always reached out to the group and individually. I liked that he told me to concentrate, stop talking. And I liked that he didn’t scream and shout encouragement. He was controlled. When he spoke, I listened. He usually had something important to say. I feel accomplished. I’ve done challenges before. But nothing like the A12. I feel proud. And I’ve even got some little guns 💪🏻
