Drop a dress size guaranteed, call 0115 9507431"
Just another gym?
Many personal trainers spend their time talking about the qualifications they have and ‘I’ve done this, I’ve done that’
Don’t you want to know what YOU will get out of training with BodyClocq?
(Our qualifications are at the bottom if you do want to know!)
This is what just some of our have achieved following our systems…
Jemma, a nurse working irregular shifts dropped 4 dress sizes and now regularly competes in sprint distance triathlons and the annual Tough Guy challenge!
“Jon has reminded me that sport and fitness can be fun! The hard work is still there just with a lot of support along the way!”
Jemma Hendley
Lucie lost all her post-baby fat to look incredible in her dress on her wedding day. Even she couldn’t believe the photos!
"Gone are the days of steady state aerobic exercise. A new world of kettlebell circuits and intervals has come my way and I love it! Stay within the comfort of your commercial gym if you like but I know which one of us will have achieved more physically and mentally in 6 months time!" Rachel, GP
Neil, a financial advisor dropped 46lbs of body fat and dramatically improved the power of his golf swings!
He actually looks 5 years younger, one year on!
"I have lost 21 kilos (46.2 lbs) in 10 months and reduced my body fat by around 8%. This doesn't mean that I have turned into some idiot who just looks forward to going to workout at the gym, the work Jon puts me through each week sees to that. Nor do I just survive each day by eating a few bits of lettuce and the odd bit of Ryvita. I seem to eat more now as I eat smaller amounts but more often. The only difference is I am guided by BodyClocq’s Nutrition system in what to eat, when to eat it and my whole attitude towards exercise and what food I put in my mouth has changed. The results will continue to speak for themselves." Neil - IFA, Nottingham
“I have worked with Jon for a year now and most notably my body fat has reduced from 49% to 27% (it could be better but I’m not the best with my diet!) I carry a few old injuries and Jon has personalised my training regimes which work around my physical difficulties. I recently visited a qualified physic at Notts County cricket and he was extremely positive about the regime Jon created which gave me even more confidence!” Morgyn
Size 12 to Size 8! Goodbye love handles!
“I’ve gone from a Size 12 to a Size 8 and I no longer get disheartened when I look no different after trudging away on the cross-trainer for 20 minutes! The variety is fantastic and the results plain for me to see - and everyone else if the comments I am getting are anything to go by! With a complete exercise and nutrition plan that suits me, I get the results I want"
“18 months ago I got ‘bullied’ into a circuit class at BodyClocq, an hour of which was more than enough for me to realise that I really was an unfit thirty something.
Having had a fairly successful cycling career 15 years previously I decided to dust off the old bike and get a few miles in an attempt to at least keep up at the circuit class.
I was bitten fairly quickly by the cycling bug again and by Christmas, with a combination of circuits, Boxercise and cycling; I felt I had got some level of fitness back - enough to put the crazy notion of going racing again in my head.
One crazy notion seemed to lead to another and early in 2008 I’d decided to have a crack at the National Masters Track Championships scheduled for the start of July.
To give myself a fighting chance at the beginning of March I decided to sign up to weekly PT sessions with Laurence. When I last rode seriously training consisted of nothing more than riding the bike so any form of ‘gym’ work was very alien to me.
The tuition was excellent and Laurence spent a lot of time in the early sessions making sure my technique was right. We started with sessions combining the use of free weights and Kettlebells and as the Championships grew closer incorporated some intensive work on an indoor cycle trainer.
Every session has been immensely hard work but it is amazing how much harder you can push yourself when someone else is calling the shots. Laurence does have an amazing ability to get you working at 100% in everything you do so whilst the sessions never get any easier the results of the work do show very quickly.
The support and guidance outside of the PT sessions has also been excellent. This effectively means I have a nutrition plan and a training schedule to work to so that everyday is a constructive day with a purpose that I understand the benefit of.
The Track Championships have been and gone and the results probably speak for themselves. A Pursuit time 1 second off what was a very ambitious target and in reality 4 seconds quicker than anything I thought I might realistically achieve.
The icing on the cake was a Silver Medal in the Points Race.
It certainly hasn’t been an easy 4 months but it has been hugely enjoyable. I am absolutely amazed at how quickly we have achieved these results and I know there is no way these would have been achieved without Laurence’s help . “

"Inspirational, motivating, just awesome.. Jon inspires me to want to push myself and I get totally absorbed in the sessions as they go so quickly! Once you experience it, you'll understand! I'm more confident, happy and more motivated than ever before - even my husband has noticed! It's affected my lifestyle in ways I cannot explain. Thank you for everything, Jon." Maria, Education Officer
Tough Guy 2008
This is the team of clients we entered in the brutal Tough Guy event. This was well beyond what most of them thought they could do but our training and their willpower got them through! Close to 7.000 individuals entered the event and just about 2000 people completed it All of our team made to the finish line. A great testimonial for the level of conditioning achieved at BodyClocq!
" You would never have been able to do that 6 months ago" That's what my riding instructor said with regards to my improved leg strength! Sue
“Gyms are for those kidding themselves; BodyClocq is for us wanting to achieve results”
Andy Hardy
“BodyClocq gives me the focus and quality of training that I can’t provide by myself. Laurence always takes me to “the edge” and stops just short of it so I come back for more!”
Simon Dunn
"5 months on I'm so much fitter and more flexible which is something new for me! I feel 'healthy' everyday and I've lost 5kg not that weight loss was really a goal for me! My body fat's down to 19% from 24% and I feel great. Cheers!" Stu
"BodyClocq has introduced me to so much having previously wasted years going through the motions at various gyms, learning nothing and achieving very little - for a high membership fee! This has transformed my lifestyle, fitness levels body shape and also my attitude! Body fat's gone from 25% to 15% and each session leaves me feeling a sense of achievement even though sometimes they only last 30 minutes. Ideal for my hectic schedule of appointments! I was unsure at first but haven't been back to the gym since!" Matt Jones, Independent Financial Advisor
“Coming from a musculoskeletal health background I have been blown away by the benefits of working in your one on one personal training environment. Your attention to posture and focus on ‘whole body’ functional exercises s without doubt the best approach to fitness I have ever seen.
In the past I had always considered Personal Training to be a luxury, and for many I suspect it might be…but those will be the trainers who are more focused on sucking up to their clients rather than the results focused, honest even if it hurts, motivated and motivational trainers that you are!”
Adam Richmond, Musculoskeletal therapist, BA (Hons) MHFST MPACT
Finally, what about us? One of our pet hates is ‘fitness professionals’ who have lots of certificates but don’t practice what they preach! You can be assured everything has been tried and tested on my most critical guinea pigs…us!
Does your trainer ever look like they are trying to challenge or transform themselves or just barking at you?!
This was done in 3 weeks.
(Please note there is no fake tan involved just some weird studio lighting…)
These are photos from Jon’s charity Kettlebell challenge – there’s no better feeling than completing an intense fitness challenge knowing you’re raising money to help deaf children!
This one was 1000 repetitions in 40 minutes with a 24kg Kettlebell – not very nice!

On holiday in native Italy - A little backyard training: holidays are not an excuse to stop exercising!
On one of our trips to Jon’s home island of Guernsey, we saw what session we could create using his Granddad’s farming equipment!
Squats, sprints and lifts with sacks of potatoes – BodyClocq will give you the knowledge and inspiration to use nearly anything to train – and no, you don’t have to be in the World’s Strongest Man!
