Working with Jonathan is a great experience. His ethos of teaching and self enabled learning is really refreshing in the PT environment. We worked together to unlock the areas I needed to improve on and together are building up to where I want to be. I highly recommend Jonathan as a PT if you're looking to really educate yourself on movement and exercise.

Jonathan creates the perfect environment to help me build my confidence to exercise including lifting weights using good form. I used to find gyms intimidating. However, Jonathan makes me feel at ease by pacing my sessions well, carefully observing me practice to assess and feedback on movements I am doing well and where I should target effort to improve. I can feel real progress since joining The Movement.

Jonathan is a very knowledgeable trainer who loves his job, and it shows in everything he does. My PT sessions with him usually fly by and I'm constantly amazed at what I've achieved at the end of them. When I started my sessions with him, I was very nervous about coming back to the gym after a very long break, but in the 9 months I've been training with him, I can see the improvements in both my mobility and stamina. In the beginning I had extreme difficulty in moving my left shoulder and both of my knees; now I can do lunges and squats, can comfortably sit cross legged, and even carry 24kg kettle bells around the gym! He always makes sure that I'm comfortable with what I'm doing, and will always adapt an exercise if it's too much. 15 out of 10, I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to get the most out of their PT sessions!

Hi I started with Johnathan couple months ago now before I had zero confidence in gym now I'm starting to see changes it's good I will continue to work with Johnathan in future.

I had two couple sessions with Jonathan as he was kind and flexible enough to squeeze me in to his sessions with my partner. I am a regular gym goer for many years now and despite that there were couple of things I wasn't aware of with my body posture and positioning. Jonathan immediately identified them and gave me very great advise. He is super kind and true professional who cares a lot of overall healthy performance. He communicates very well the what, why, and how. He designed fun couple exercises for us and I very much enjoyed it.

In less than a year, the results are remarkable. Pain from arthritis in my hands that was disturbing my sleep has practically gone. General strength and energy levels are much improved and I feel at least 5 years younger. I visit the gym two, sometimes three times a week for about 45 minutes at a time and the results against time invested are great. Thank you Jonathan.

Jonathan is a very personable, knowledgeable and motivating trainer. He's able to come up with helpful and creative solutions whatever your age, level of fitness, or health issues. His sessions are individually tailored to meet any current problems as well as longer term goals. The how and why of each movement is fully explained which encourages greater self awareness; the understanding and confidence to use any gym equipment; and also how to make changes in your daily life. Hugely enjoyable sessions - an hour flies by!

Finding Jonathan was a god send, since I started working out with him, the improvement on my posture, strength and mobility have been fantastic. I've tried working out my own however, really felt I needed help, and having a personal trainer to guide and work with me, is money very well spent. Jonthan tailors my sessions to suit how my body and mind are feeling on the day, together with my weekly app check-ins. I aways leave my sessions feeling positive, confident and alot healthier to face the week ahead. Thank you Jonathan 😊

Loving working with Jonathan! I've never felt so motivated, and I actually feel excited to be going to the gym (big change after roughly 15 years of not exercising at all). Highly recommend!

I think Jonathan Sparkes is amazing, I have a leg that had a mind of its own, I wa struggling walking up and down stairs, taking one step at a time was so embrassed when I would use Public Transport, to the point I would only use tube stations with a lift, if the lift was not working, I would jump back on the tube & find another station then take the bus, now because of Jonathan I am walking much better, I am using the stairs more often, and less embrassed, I am getting better each day.

It's only been a short month since signing up with Jonathan, but I've already learned so much! As someone who has been comfortable in the gym for a number of years, I was looking for a new challenge and someone who could push me (whilst building my confidence and keeping me safe). If you've been debating signing up with a PT, I wouldn't think twice about The Movement and highly recommend Jonathan's approach to coaching and his breadth of knowledge on all things weightlifting 😄

Cannot recommend Jonathan highly enough. He's extremely knowledgable, and his accessible approach strikes the perfect balance of information and encouragement, making workouts an enjoyable experience. He totally demystified the gym for me, and I feel like I've learnt a lot and achieved a lot thanks to him.

Jonathan is super easy to work with and always comes well prepared, and I always walk away from the session with some useful feedback/insights that really helped with my training. even when i was off ill he was very encouraging and supportive, would recommend

I've known Jonathan for more than a year now, met him at a gym where he was leading a class and instantly knew he was my favourite out of all the trainers there. I then joined The Movement and trusted Jonathan with the change that I wanted to make in my life and it was the best decision ever. Jonathan is incredible in his multilayered, sophisticated and empowering approach. I have seen amazing changes in my fitness, body and mental health in just the space of a few months. He listens and observes carefully and has a way of working with you that makes you achieve great goals, whilst embracing the whole journey and its challenges along the way. I truly cannot recommend Jonathan and The Movement enough and I cannot wait for what the future holds now that our sessions are part of my daily life that has drastically changed for the better!

If you're looking for a PT who genuinely cares, look no further than Jonathan. What truly sets him apart is his incredible knowledge and unwavering dedication. No matter what's going on, he's always fully present and "on" for his clients, ready to guide them. He has an amazing ability to tailor his approach to each individual, but what truly shines through is his genuine passion for helping people improve their lives. Jonathan excels at understanding that "betterment" means something different for everyone. While he's certainly capable of helping clients achieve impressive physical transformations, his true gift lies in his ability to cater to a much broader range of needs – from helping someone gain strength for everyday activities to supporting more advanced fitness goals. His genuine care and the sheer joy he takes in seeing people improve are truly inspiring.

Jonathan is incredibly energetic and enthusiastic - he always keeps me motivated! His programmes and advice are grounded in science, which gives me real confidence in the results. Highly recommend to anyone looking for effective, evidence-based training with a great vibe.
