Your commute
Driving in on the A38, the train into New Street or the tram through the city centre. Training is scheduled before, after or around it, not in spite of it.
Birmingham
A personal trainer for Birmingham, without the fixed time slot.
JR is an online fitness coach for clients across Birmingham and the West Midlands. You get the plan, the technique coaching and the accountability of personal training, in whichever Birmingham gym you already use.
Local and online
How JR Coaching serves Birmingham.
To be clear from the start: JR Coaching does not have a studio or gym in Birmingham. What it offers Birmingham clients is personal coaching delivered online, which for most people is the more useful service.
You keep the gym you already have, whether that is a budget chain in the city centre, an independent gym in Digbeth or a leisure centre near home. JR writes your programme for the equipment there, reviews your lifts on video and checks in with you every week.
There is no travelling across the city for a 6pm slot, and no losing your session when work overruns. You train when it suits you and your coach is a message away.
Built around Birmingham
A plan that knows where you live.
Good coaching is specific. These are the things JR plans around for clients in the city.
Your gym
From city centre chains to independents in the Jewellery Quarter and leisure centres in Harborne or Erdington. The plan fits the kit, and the busy hours.
Your steps
Daily movement that is realistic here: canal towpaths, Cannon Hill Park, Sutton Park or the Lickey Hills at the weekend.
Your food
Birmingham eats well. From the Balti Triangle to family meals at home, you learn to enjoy it and still hit your targets.

Getting started
From application to week one.
The process is the same wherever you live.
Apply
Tell JR where you are now, what you want and what has got in the way before. It takes about three minutes.
Talk it through
JR replies personally. You agree the goal, the timeframe and whether coaching is the right fit, with no pressure either way.
Get your plan
A training plan and nutrition targets built around your schedule, your equipment, your food preferences and your starting point.
Check in every week
Weight, measurements, photos and how the week really went. JR reviews it and adjusts the plan so you keep moving.
Move to the next phase
Progress comes in phases. When one is complete you set the next: build, refine or maintain what you have earned.
Does JR Coaching have a gym or studio in Birmingham?
No. JR Coaching does not operate a gym, studio or other premises. Coaching for Birmingham clients is delivered online, and you train at the gym you already use or at home.
Can I get in-person personal training sessions in Birmingham?
The coaching described on this site is online. If face-to-face sessions matter to you, say so on your application and tell JR which part of Birmingham you are in. He will tell you honestly whether anything is possible.
How is an online coach different from a personal trainer at my Birmingham gym?
A gym-floor trainer coaches you for the hour you book. With JR you get a full weekly programme, nutrition targets, video technique reviews and a weekly check-in, and you can follow it at any gym in the city at any time of day.
Which areas of Birmingham do you cover?
All of them, because coaching is online: the city centre, Jewellery Quarter, Digbeth, Edgbaston, Harborne, Selly Oak, Moseley, Kings Heath, Erdington, Sutton Coldfield, Solihull and the wider West Midlands.
I want to lose weight. Can you help with a weight loss plan in Birmingham?
Yes. Weight loss coaching is one of the most common reasons Birmingham clients apply. JR sets a sustainable calorie target, a training plan and a step goal, and reviews your progress every week.
