Body Composition Analysis

I worked with Jon on my nutrition throughout my summer racing months and he taught me skills that will last me a lifetime. I now know how to fuel myself for performance sufficiently during large training blocks and leading up to race day, something that I did struggle with in the past. Being a researcher interested in lifestyle and nutrition, and someone that has been an athlete since I was very young, I thought that I knew how to fuel to support my training. Little did I know I was under-fuelling. I am now able to confidently maintain high levels of intensity for longer periods of time in the knowledge that I have filled the tank. I am eternally grateful for the support Jon provides. Thank you Jon!

Jon has helped me lose weight and control my IBS whilst also helping control energy levels to deal with triathlon training along side working full time. He took his time to listen to all of my issues and worked with me to ensure everything was working for me, tweaking things as we went along. I feel so much better in myself and my training is going strong.

Just a little update….. visibly lost weight scales confirmed this 11st 12lbs!! I definitely have more energy all day, I’m never really hungry anymore & the food is great smoothies are 10/10. Now this injury has calmed down a bit hopefully my performances will improve.

I am always looking at ways to improve my diabetes management and after speaking with Jon @the_ endurance _academy it was very clear that he could offer me a structured training plan that would not only improve my performances as a runner and cyclist but more importantly for me to put me more in control of managing my diabetes. I’ve been working with Jon for 2 years now which has seen me stay focused and committed, I put that down to how my training plan is structured! Plenty of variety which for me is key. As a result, my fitness and health have improved greatly which helps managing type 1 diabetes that bit easier.

Jon has a great understanding of all the cycling disciplines so he is able to tailor my training for whatever goals I have within cycling. I will continue to recommend his services to anyone I know that is interested in getting the most out of their sport.

I would not hesitate to recommend Jon as a coach if you want to get faster and stronger. His one to one training and guidance has allowed me to reach my racing goals with Team Jaden.

Great working with The Endurance Academy as part of a structured training plan, I’d decided fairly late on during the ‘off-season’ about taking on some coaching after undertaking a bit of base work under my own steam over winter. I contacted Jon and set my goals around a mix of training for a trip to the Dolomites as well as taking part in the local road racing scene. The process of setting up the plan was easy, we decided on when I needed to ‘peak’ how many hours I had available and an easy-to-follow structured plan was pulled together very quickly. The plan was loaded up by Endurance Academy/Jon onto Training Peaks and this automatically synced with TrainerRoad as my training tool/app. The guess work was taken out of my training and it just meant I had a clear and easy plan to follow, which worked brilliantly for both of us. Few hard sessions along the way, but it meant I hit the Dolomites trip feeling really good and had a strong year on the bike, really happy with the results and would recommend them to anyone looking to boost their fitness.

I’ve been with my running club for 3 years now and whilst the training is very good I felt my progress had started to slow. After speaking with Jon he opened my eyes to the benefit of an improved diet tailored to my training and race needs. I’m nearly 8 months in and the results I’m getting from good quality training sessions supported by nutrition plans provided by Jon has made for significant improvements on the track and now following on into the Cross Country season. The results over the last few months has given me bags of confidence and I can’t wait to see where it takes me over the winter and into next year.

Jon is a fantastic coach. He is attentive, responds thoroughly to questions and, most importantly, suggests logical strategies to improve. The thing I like the most about Jon's coaching is that he personalises your plan, taking into consideration your strengths and areas for development, as well as your lifestyle and how much time you can devote to training. Jon's super friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Jon is all you could want for in a coach. He looks at every ride you do. He cares. He inspires. And he’s made me the best 57 year old cyclist I can be. Thank you.

Recently listened to Jon talking at a training camp weekend and his extensive knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm shone through. There are many theories around many aspects of cycling but the reality is we use guidelines to get things right for our personal needs. Jon made that very clear.

Been working with Jon on the bike for the past 2-3 years, progressing from barely being able to ride in a group, to racing British junior elite triathlon and remaining in front packs. He's really helped me improve not only my power and speed, but also general bike handling and confidence. My improvements, especially over the last year, are largely due to his advice and help with sessions.

Super friendly well ran professional coaching and sports massage outfit, with a great understanding of what a cyclist/athletes need to be top of their game.

Really friendly and massively knowledgeable. Top service.

"So In 2018, I had a good go at cyclocross racing. I was constantly outside the top 10 and found it very hard to bridge the gap. I decided for the 2019 season to get a trainer. After asking a few people in my local club Jons name came up a lot. I contacted Jon for a meeting and was very impressed in the 1st ten minutes. Jon managed to work a good strength training plan around very busy family life and work schedule. When the season started I was feeling stronger than I expected and a top 10 finish moved to the top 6. I feel Jon got the best out of me for the time that was given. Would I use Jon again? 100%. Knows his stuff, works around you, always on at the end of the phone and he’s a canny bloke as well."

"As age and injuries were creeping on and I was looking at my 60th Birthday, one of the big things I was beginning to notice was an ever-decreasing drop in usable HR and power. Alongside this was increased weight, subtle but none less there and I was starting to find recovery from longer, harder events were much slower. This led to me contacting Jon for help in understanding what and how cycling at a good level into increasing age can be achieved and maintained. After meeting with Jon over coffee he was able to understand and suggest a few things that would help. I have now been working with Jon and a worked-out program for a few months and I can now see some definite changes and I am looking forward to doing the Marmot next year. "

"I heard about Jon through many different riders and hearing about his attention to detail made me want to investigate further so we met up over a coffee. Whilst having a coffee I talked to Jon about many different things to do with my riding and how things could be improved and how we could focus on my weaknesses to make them stronger long term. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone who wants to take their riding to the next level his knowledge and detail is first class."

"I started my training with Jon in February 2018 after having a miserable winter suffering from a severe lack of motivation. Within weeks I was back riding with a purpose again and over that summer went on to do many new things on my bike. - I Took 45 mins off my best time around the Ride London course. - I did my first solo century including the local monster hill Crawleyside. - I rode all summer and winter working with Jon and even did some winter turbo sessions in the garden to change things around. During the recent pandemic Jon's coaching has kept me motivated and I’m now riding stronger than ever. I look forward to the remainder of the season and hopefully doing some time trials to feel the rewards of the work done and the sessions Jon has built for me."

"Jon is not only extremely knowledgeable about human physiology, but he was able to apply this to suit me as an athlete and an individual. He looks at the bigger picture and helps you to improve performance in all areas on and off the bike, some that I had never even thought of. Jon took me from getting dropped to winning races (Queen stage of The Ras, 2018), and the results achieved under his guidance are testament to the quality of his coaching."
