"I've worked with Jonathan Bailey for over two years now, and continue to see amazing results under his guidance. I began working with Jonathan to help with my weight cuts in the UFC, and also to improve the efficiency of my strength and conditioning sessions. My weight cuts are easier than ever, and my sport specific strength and conditioning is more scientific and calculated than ever. My training camps always see me peak at the right time, and most importantly, Jonathan is always accessible and willing to give me advice when needed to ensure I stay on track with my nutrition and training. I can't speak highly enough of him as a trainer for elite level athletes."

“I started training with Jonathan in January 2012 when I was preparing to compete in wheelchair tennis at the London Paralympics. Training with Jonathan is great because of his calm nature along with his in depth knowledge of the body and training techniques which enable me to push my body harder while feeling safer and my performance improvements are a testament to his effectiveness as a trainer. Jonathan practices what he preaches - his personal trainer philosophy, backed by his experience and studies means I trust him completely and his way of communicating information makes it easy to understand what muscles are working as well as how it’s contributing to the longer term goals.
When I started training with Jonathan I was 61 in the world and now I’m top 10 and I’ve competed in the Australian Open the last 4 years. Jonathan helped me develop a strong training philosophy for myself and gave me a wealth full of knowledge that I take into every session. I highly recommend him as a trainer to anyone who wants to improve their performance and is willing to work hard.”

“I first started training with Jonathan Bailey in 2011. After sustaining a number of injuries during my professional soccer career at Sydney FC and Coventry City FC, I began training with Jonathan in an attempt to gain a competitive edge. By the time I had begun training with Jonathan, I had already had four operations, an ACL reconstruction, a right ankle arthroscopy and two hip operations for a femoral acetabular impingement. Despite this long list of injuries Jonathan was able to get my body back into peak condition, through nutritional advice and a strict training program. By the time I got back on the football pitch, playing for Northern Tigers in the NSW Super League, I was under 8% body fat, at my ideal playing weight of 75kg. From training with Jonathan, I have gained a vast amount of knowledge on training principles and nutrition. By following Jonathan’s simple training and nutritional guidelines I have been able to stay under 10% body fat and make continual strength gains in the gym.”

“I was lucky enough to meet Jonathan Bailey whilst attending one of his seminars, Elite Fight Camp in August 2015. I began training under Jonathan’s guidance shortly afterwards in preparation for my Judo tournaments to qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. I feel like I’ve come a long way under his training guidance. My strength, speed, and agility have increased whilst also putting on functional muscle mass, which was our goal. I have adopted many of his nutritional protocols to fuel my body through training phases and generally feel recovered and in better condition between training sessions. He has helped me overcome injury, taken me to new heights in performance as an athlete and generally supported me through a gruelling competition and training schedule. He has been a great asset to my team and I credit a lot of my sporting success to his programming and direction as a coach. Jonathan not only knows his stuff when it comes to strength and conditioning, but also upholds great values and integrity as a person. He is softly spoken with a logical, practical and intelligent approach. I can confidently encourage anyone to train with him.”

“After seeking the help of the best coaches and health experts I could find, I finally found Jonathan Bailey. My body was riddled with structural imbalances and injury, all preventing me from achieving my goals and even enjoying training. What sets Jonathan apart is his commitment to learning all the most advanced principles the human body requires for performance and his sincere personal investment in your progress. Although looking at his seriously impressive level of education does speak for itself, the true measure is when you walk away from each session feeling stronger, both physically and mentally. Thanks Jonathan, I don't know where I'd be without you.”

“I have been working with Jonathan for over a year now in both Canada and Australia. I had the chance to do individual PT and Group Training in Vancouver and now work with him as an Online Client. I have lost around 10% body fat and have never felt stronger or healthier than I have working with him! Jonathan has taught me a lot about training techniques and nutrition. He has a lot of knowledge in his field and he’s really motivated to get you results. I will always remember the smile on his face the first time I was able to do 6 chin ups, all our efforts were finally paying off! He has always pushed me past my limits and now I’ve got great new muscles. Training with Jonathan is the best gift I ever gave myself and I wouldn’t have made it to this point without him…”

“I have worked with Jonathan for the past three years. As a professional athlete, I find he is the most comprehensive and diligent of all my coaches. There is always the feeling that he wants what is best for me as a client and athlete, and is very much invested in my goals. I had never trained with a Strength & Conditioning Coach with his academic credentials, and his constant updating of knowledge, as well as enthusiasm for his work has enabled me to reach the best shape of my career. Since competing on the global stage with the UFC, Jonathan has been a huge part of my success and a driving force that has allowed me to continue to compete at high level as a mixed martial artist. His science-based approach, hard work ethic, and positive attitude, strives to get the best out of me every day. After training with Jonathan, I understand my own body and its capabilities better than ever. He has educated me on training methods, as well as how to optimise my diet and weight cut, to ensure I am in the best shape I can be, day in and day out.”

“I’ve had the privilege of experiencing Jonathan’s coaching for two years to date. When we met I was transitioning from Olympic Weightlifting to Natural Bodybuilding where specialized support was necessary. Jonathan provided me then as he does today, sophisticated training programs, nutrition protocols, personal support, accountability and technical coaching. Jonathan is an intuitive, calm, analytical, highly experienced, and broadly educated coach. He leads his clients by example; practicing the methods he teaches and seeking continuous professional development where his clients benefit from newest information, methods, and the best opportunity to achieve personal goals.

The trust and respect Jonathan and I have developed in the time we’ve worked together has been hard earned on the gym floor and when competitions have challenged me physically, mentally, his empathy and encouragement to keep going have kept me in the race. He has worked with me when trying new sports or attempting challenges outside my norm – always with encouragement and willingness to help me ‘give it a try’.
Jonathan will always push his Clients to new achievements and what were seemingly impossible personal feats.”

“I commenced training with Jonathan in 2012 wanting to improve my imbalances caused by long term endurance training – I had been running for about 4 years. I went from skinny fat to creating a lean muscle mass physic in about 3 months. Not only that but improved my overall strength – I have a PB 124kg deadlift. I went from not being able to do a single chin-up to weighted chin-ups. Jonathan has the experience and knowledge to fix any imbalances and bring out the strengths in any athlete. His attention to form whilst you are training is second to none. He designed a training program for me to achieve my goals in Olympic Lifting, also my short foray into Body Building for which a placed and helped me overcome a serious knee injury in a very short time. Jonathan’s passion and immense experience enables to work on an individual basis to help you achieve brilliant results. Train with Jonathan and you will experience first-hand all the benefits he has to offer.”

“After being a professional fighter for the past 7 years with over 45 fights experience, I was recommended to Jonathan due to a disc injury in my back. Many physios had told me my fight career was over but since training with Jonathan and following his programs, my back has never felt stronger as well as my overall strength and explosiveness. I look forward to seeing where his guidance can take me in 2016.”

“Having Jonathan as your fitness coach will be the best health investment you will ever make. For the last 3 years Jonathan has been my 'fitspiration' and has always gone above and beyond with his ongoing support, wisdom and continual guidance. When it gets hard, and at some point on your fitness journey I guarantee it probably will, Jonathan will always make sure he is available to offer you the support you need to dig deep, grit your teeth, and just keep going.Your fitness goals don't need to remain a dream. Jonathan is the best fitness guru you could ever invest in to make your fitness goals a reality!”

“Three years ago I was paralysed from the armpits down by a virus that attached my spine. After months in rehab, I did something I never thought I would do - I joined a gym and found a trainer.

I am so lucky that the trainer I found was Jonathan. Initially my goal was to strengthen muscles and kick-start my nervous system. But my journey with Jonathan has taken me do much further than that.

Jonathan has been patient with me through the early dark days and encouraging of what I am able to do. I am grateful for the way he pushes me to achieve goals I never would've even dreamt of before my illness. I enjoy reaching targets that he sets and challenging my muscles and nervous system to work in ways I didn't think was possible.

I appreciate the calluses on my hands and see them as a trophy for being able to deadlift 100 kg, and every day I appreciate Jonathan's time and energy in keeping me on my feet!

I could not recommend Jonathan highly enough to anyone.”

“I met Jonathan in 2104 after a long struggle with postnatal depression that had taken a massive physical and mental toll. With his support and encouragement, I went from a seriously unfit, overweight and unmotivated person to someone who is fitter, stronger leaner and healthier than ever. I am even now about to enter my first weightlifting competition.

Incredibly knowledgeable and approachable, Jonathan is someone who genuinely cares about his clients beyond the gym. He will make you work harder than you thought possible, but it's definitely worth it. I will always be grateful to him for helping me turn my life around. If you are serious about getting results, then Jonathan is definitely the coach for you.”

“I’ve been training with Jonathan on and off since 2013. We started with general strength and conditioning before he had me hooked on Olympic Lifting, successfully taking me to second place in my first competition in August this year. Jonathan has the knowledge and professionalism to structure my training around my injury riddled body to maximize performance and minimize pain. I have suffered a long time with sporting injuries from multiple knee reconstructions, broken bones and other soft tissue issues but nothing has been too hard for Jonathan to get me back on track. His attention to form and rehabilitation despite my impatience is something I will be forever grateful for. Jonathan genuinely wants the best out of his clients. I’ve seen massive improvements in strength with Jonathan and look forward to bigger and better things over the coming years!”
