Individual programming
Sessions written for your goal, experience, injuries and equipment, with progression built in from week one.
Personal training
A personal trainer for every session of your week.
Traditional personal training gives you a coach for one hour. Online personal training with JR gives you a programme, technique coaching and accountability across the whole week.
What you get
Personal training, delivered online.
The parts of personal training that produce results, without being tied to one gym or one time slot.
Technique coaching
Video form reviews on the lifts that matter, with clear cues you can apply in your next session.
Weekly review
Your training log, check-in and feedback are reviewed every week, and the programme is adjusted to match.
Direct access
Message JR between sessions. Swap an exercise, plan around travel or ask why something is in your programme.
Who it suits
Is this the right fit?
Online personal training works best for people who will turn up to their own sessions and want expert direction on what to do when they get there.
- You have access to a gym, or equipment at home
- You want structure, not someone to count reps
- Your schedule changes and a fixed weekly slot does not work
- You travel, or split your time between countries
- You have had a trainer before and want something that lasts

Questions
Personal training, answered.
Does JR offer in-person personal training sessions?
JR Coaching is an online-first service and does not operate its own gym or studio. If you are specifically looking for face-to-face sessions, say so and tell JR where you are based when you apply. He will tell you honestly whether anything is available, and if it is not, how online coaching can cover what you need.
How is online personal training different from an app or a PDF plan?
An app gives everyone the same programme. With JR, the plan is written for you, your technique is reviewed on video, and the plan changes every week based on your check-in. You are coached by a person who knows your history.
How is my technique coached if JR is not in the room?
You film your working sets on your phone and send them over. JR replies with specific cues to apply next session. Many clients find this more useful than live feedback, because they can watch themselves and review the notes before training.
Is personal training suitable for beginners?
Yes. The plan starts at your level, every exercise is explained, and loads are chosen so you learn good technique before you push hard.
