JJ Fitness Reaches 250 Clients Worldwide After Founder’s 7.5 Stone Transformation

A health crisis during the COVID-19 lockdown propelled Josh Jones to build a home gym that evolved into a thriving online coaching business.

Overview

  • Driven by his father’s final admonition and a battle with anxiety, Josh Jones shed 7.5 stone and reversed dangerously high cholesterol levels.
  • During the 2020 lockdown he converted spare space into a home gym, qualified as a personal trainer, and began coaching peers for free.
  • After two years of part-time training alongside his managerial role at Howdens, Jones and his wife Ellie transitioned to working for JJ Fitness full-time.
  • JJ Fitness now employs three full-time trainers and serves more than 250 clients across the UK, Malta and the USA.
  • Jones credits his personal journey with informing a coaching approach that integrates physical health improvements and mental resilience.
