Body By JR  Reviews 

I joined BodybyJR about 18 months ago after seeing them on Instagram. I had never stuck with any form of exercise long-term, had no idea what I was doing and really needed someone to help keep me accountable. When I say that Jordan and Ray have changed my life I truly am not exaggerating!

They are so knowledgeable and really take the time to understand their clients needs, goals, life schedules and everything else that is going on that will impact your training. Each plan is highly individualistic with varied number of training sessions a week, the types of exercises done and nutrition plans - all perfectly curated to ensure you achieve the goals you set yourself - whether that be the lose weight, gain muscle or compete.

They truly support you in everything that you do and have provided me with running training plans that I never would have been able to devise myself!

I have gone from not ever consistently exercising or running to doing 4 gym sessions and two runs a week consistently. I’ve completed two half marathons and Hyrox all this year alone with Jordan and Rays support and guidance.

The HQ gym is excellent, the community is second to none and all of the coaches (shout out to Elliot and Ellie) are fantastic. I always leave every session feeling better than when I went in and it truly has been the best decision I made.

If you are looking to better yourself and prove to yourself that you can do hard things, absolutely join - you will not regret it!

Having had 10+ years of gym experience and played rugby to a decnet standard. I went to BodyByJR really as a hope to get someone to make me do cardio. However from the moment I turned up, Ray, Jordan and the other coaches have pushed me in every aspect of my training. Each session is thought out for each day of the week which is great if you're looking to follow a professional setup without needing to put too much thought into it. Over 4 months, I have increased my weights in all exercises and have been able to drop my weight by 6kg whilst increasing my aerobic capacity massively. I feel and look as strong, fit and lean as I ever have. And none of it would have been possible without the guidance and support from the coaches and the wider community at BodyByJR.

If you think all the 5 star reviews are too good to be true, then think again!! BodybyJR is by far the best investment I have ever made in myself, and I’ve never seen such healthy progress so quickly! Every coach is top tier, and it’s amazing to see how they hold not just us members to account, but also themselves too as they regularly share the work they put in behind the scenes to run such a fantastic gym. It’s a safe and inclusive space no matter where your fitness levels are, and if there’s any nerves before your first session I can guarantee they’ll be gone by the end of the workout!

Literally the best environment to be around.

If you’re having a bad day the coaches will cheer you up.

If you’re having a day where you just want to eat anything and everything they will say go for it ….. but then they will hold you accountable for the rest of the week.

They aren’t only coaches they are best friends - almost family.

The vibe in the gym is always a laugh. There is never anyone who take themselves to serious and that’s all down to the work of Jordan and Ray and the environment they bring.

This place is like no where I have trained before! I’ve trained in your usual gyms but this gym is by far my favourite and I won’t be going back to any normal gym anytime soon!
I started here after having 2 children and needed to have some accountability for what I was eating and how I was training. Since joining in March I have lost over a stone in weight, built my weights up and am now stronger than I have ever been!
Jordan, Ray, Elliot and Eleanor are the best team and provide the most amazing support I cannot recommended coming here any more! I love each session and never have that dread and never feel like I can’t be bothered to go gym, if anything I wish I could go more often!

The best PT led gym in town!!
An incredible team, very supportive and knowledgeable. Love the variety of exercises and the encouragement to reach my goal.

I know I'll walk away from my session sweaty and satisfied knowing I've pushed hard and progressing slowly each time. All thanks to the amazing coaches, Jordan, Ray, Elliot & El.

Thanks gang 💪🏾💥💦💯

What an amazing place! After having 2 children and NO experience In the gym I was petrified to start.. after being recommended by a mum at the nursery I tried it out & I have been having the most wonderful time. The trainers do not judge one bit on how you look, how quick or slow you are, how much you can or cannot lift. It’s all about getting you feeling and looking good at whatever speed you’re comfortable with all whilst supporting you with the equipment and answering every question you have. Best gym for someone who isn’t quite sure or even for someone who knows exactly what they’re doing!

Words cannot express my gratitude for the incredible team at BodyByJR… I don’t know what I expected (probably nothing?) outcomes wise when I joined because of previous experience - my goals were to get fit and healthy in general, especially having broken my leg in June23.
So I started in October23 honestly out of desperation - I have lots of knowledge around nutrition and exercise, and yet nothing has changed, apart from unhealthy mind traps and beating myself up. At only 27 I’ve tried Slimming World, calorie counting, home workouts, gym memberships, 121 trainers, nutrition coaches, the lot…

Fast forward to July 2024 - I’m not the skinniest I’ve ever been (although have lost 13kg and many cms in the process) but my god am I the fittest and healthiest!! Squatting 65kgs, rowing 3km in less than 13mins, and I haven’t even been running! I’m able to hike again (just completed Ben Nevis and felt incredible, less than a year after breaking my fibula and fracturing parts of my ankle!) and nutrition has organically evolved into enjoyable (I love delicious food) and nutritious, yet, I’ve enjoyed myself in events and weekends.

My cycles have become regular and more bearable, I know myself/my energy levels at different stages of my cycle and am learning to work with them instead of best myself up - I’ve never known myself better. Jordan has been so open about this and I wanted to share this as it is important to so many women.

I would have never had the discipline to stay consistent for such a long period of time and we’ve made a huge dent in my all or northing approach to my training and nutrition approaches in the past. Elliot has been an absolute godsend in figuring out when to support, coach, guide but also when to push and get me out of my head! It was really really tough at the beginning (I was falling over body weight lunges…), and I still have tough days - but they’re different tough days now; Jordan and Ray sending me long voice notes with genuineness and empathy is something I’ll never forget and always appreciate.
You don’t have to be best friends and chatting with everyone here but you can, and the psychological safety is second to none; everyone is super lovely and I feel supported, even on the days I just want to come in, get it done and leave. If you’d like a push and encouragement, you’ll get that too! Not only from the coaches.

I’m now going away on holiday, having packed clothes that I haven’t worn in years - feeling so great in them and much more confident in myself ♥️

There’s still so much to do and I cannot wait to see what’s next! Who knew I’d go from recovering from broken leg, to competing at Hyrox a year later - bring on October 2024!

If I’ve been able to still enjoy myself and achieve results, honestly anyone can 💪♥️

Where do I start? I was a member of the online coaching program in 2021 ahead of my wedding and lost over 15kg and was overjoyed with my experience but like most things post wedding and honeymoon, once that special event has passed, its easy to slowly let yourself slip back to old habits.

Fast forward to end of 2023 when I contacted Jordan at my heaviest weight 12 weeks post c-section. Body By JR no longer offered the online coaching but offering SGPT combined with the coaching. The thought of walking into their SGPT classes at HQ terrified me but every member there was so supportive, I had nothing to be worried about.

Jordan, Ray & Elliot were and continue to be patient and encouraging every step of the way. They are there to celebrate each new win and milestone and they keep me focused on pushing forward as do the rest of the members within the BBJR community. With BBJR's expert coaching, incredible training sessions and accessible app, I'm 15kg down in 20 weeks but the real transformation is my mindset. Having coaches that invest in you as a person is just incredible and a real rarity in this industry. I can't thank the team enough and I'm so excited to see my progress over the next 20 weeks.

BodybyJR is truly a gym like no other - the support and encouragement you get from Jordan, Ray and Elliott is amazing you can tell they really want the best results for you! I have always battled with my weight and since joining Bodybyjr it is the first time i really can see a change in my body and know that i will be able to get to a place i want to be with my mind and body! Joining Bodybyjr was the best decision i made, i just wished i joined sooner. You will not regret signing up - it’s more then a gym it’s a family and it’s changed my life for the better

BodybyJr is the future what a gym should offer. You are being trained by Elite athletes in their field who themselves are constantly participating in world competitions like Hyrox and are consectively coming out on top on those competitions. Their dedication & commitment to their clients is very strong where they built on those relationships at Small group personal training and helping you with your personalised journey and nutrition. Their positive vibes and community is also a plus if that doesn’t lift your motivation up I don’t know what will! Don’t think twice just join them you are in safe expert care

The support and encouragement is amazing from all coaches, the way they adapt for any past injuries to suit you better is great…how friendly all staff and their clients are just makes you feel part of the team and really makes you want to be there. How motivated I have been since starting has surprised me and I miss it when I’m not there! Overall how much fitter and stronger I feel and after the first day never thought I could keep up but just got better each time 😊

The coaches, the gym, the community that has been built is unmatched! The coaches care about you as an individual person, they help you to be the best version of yourself & guide you to achieve your goals. The atmosphere in the gym is energetic, supportive & fun! I’ve been with BBJR for about 3-4 years now & honestly the best decision I ever made. My physical health is always improving & my mental health has massively improved.
Would recommend to everyone!
Personal thanks to the coaches who are always on your side & always help lift you up!

Give it a go you will not regret it, one of the most friendly fun and challenging environments to be in.

All the coaches have great knowledge and are happy to take the time to give you the confidence and guidance we all need to achieve our fitness goals, no two days are the same so much thought goes into everything you do here and they have built a great community.

There is a great app to help you track everything you need from food to workouts. And your coaches are there if you need them sending messages on your progress and how best to change things up.

Meet new people, make new friends and make the best change you will ever make to your training.

I’ve been with BodybyJR for the past 4 years & I love it. The SGPT sessions are great we have a mix of strong lifts and a humbling conditioning section. The team are super knowledgable, supportive and really make time to understand YOU and your specific needs/triggers. Each session the guys come & check-in on you and give you the push you need but in such a lovely way.
The gym caters for all ages/shapes/sizes and it’s a friendly welcoming environment.
Saturday sessions are great as we all get to team up and work together to achieve our session goals.
I call it my happy place - I always come out feeling better than I went in.
❤️

BodybyJR is unlike any gym I’ve experienced before - the knowledge and support by Jordan, Ray and Elliot is the best out there! They focus on getting you strong in both your body and mind and how to fuel your body. They listen to each persons needs and you never feel they don’t have time for you. They have built an amazing community where everyone feels welcome no matter the ability. They really are out there changing lives! So thank you

I signed up for body by JR’s 6 week transformation challenge as I felt like I had lost direction with my training, and with only 7 weeks until I set off to travel south east Asia for 5 months, it was the perfect opportunity to throw myself into.
During the 6 weeks training at body by JR I absolutely loved the style of training, usually with a body building/strength component followed by conditioning. The small group aspect meant that the coach running the session could monitor my form, give advice and cues, spot me and push me to go for it!
A gym community is also really important to me, and I felt like I integrated well with the other members, especially when partnering up on a Saturday!
The final thing I wanted to achieve was to be able to take what I had learned in the gym travelling with me, so that I could continue to train effectively where possible. I feel this style of training has given me inspiration and confidence to take into gyms whilst travelling.
I can’t wait to return to body by JR when I return from Asia!
Thank you to Jordan, Ray, Elliot and Justin

I’ve been at Body by JR for 2.5 months now and couldn’t recommend them enough. I was 9 months post partum with my second child when I joined and my old self felt like a very distant memory. Wind forward 2.5 months and the weight I was struggling to shift has dropped off and, more importantly, I’m feeling both physically and mentally stronger than I have done in years. This is down to the brilliant coaching from the team - Jordan, Ray, Elliot and Justin are all great. The structured programming, scaled for ability where appropriate, keeps things varied and challenging, and is all complemented by their app, which is also used for the nutrition coaching. What an added bonus! Having gotten into bad snacking habits over lockdown and two pregnancies, I was eating crisps, biscuits and chocolate virtually every day. Introducing a bit of structure and accountability has turned my eating habits around and I feel so much better for it.
In short, I have absolutely no regrets about joining and wish I’d found them sooner. Worth every penny!

Where do I start…. Body By JR are fantastic and the community they have built is incredible. They work SO hard, and the outcome and results that their clients achieve speak for themselves.

I originally joined the six-week trial period in December 2023, (by the first week I knew I was joining for the long haul!). I have tried many gyms and always gave up at the first hurdle as I wasn’t sure where to start however, with Body By JR I started seeing results mentally, and physically in the first few weeks and it felt amazing, the knowledge and support on and off the gym floor is equally incredible!

Thank you to you all and I can’t wait to continue seeing results and working with you guys ❤

Having been working with BodyByJR on/off for 9years now there’s always something that draws me back to them.

And it’s clear this is because of their knowledge, skill set, passion to help improve others lives, the platform they have created and the camaraderie between the members is simply, amazing!

Whilst they adapt workouts to suit all they still find a way to put you through your paces whilst still gaining that sense of achievement and elation at the end of each workout.

Being part of BodyByJR has been very beneficial for me in many ways.
