Based in Oxford. Coaching clients across the UK and worldwide.

You Don't Need More Motivation. You Need a Better Plan.

You've probably tried to get into better shape before.

Maybe you started training consistently for a while.

Maybe you followed a diet.

Maybe you downloaded a programme, joined a gym or promised yourself you'd get back on track on Monday.

And perhaps it worked.

Until life got busy.

Work became stressful.

The kids needed more of your time.

You went away.

Your routine changed.

You missed a few sessions.

Then the plan stopped fitting your life.

That's where my coaching is different.

I don't build programmes for the perfect week.

I build them for your actual life.

Your training, nutrition and habits are designed around your goals, your schedule, your experience and the things that make consistency difficult for you.

So when life changes, your coaching changes with it.

Personalised Coaching. Wherever You Train.

Online coaching gives you the expertise, structure and accountability of a personal trainer without having to arrange your life around fixed weekly appointments.

You train when and where it suits you.

I take care of the programming, progression and coaching.

Your coaching is built around:

Your Goals

Whether you want to get stronger, improve your fitness, lose body fat or simply feel healthier and more capable.

Your Schedule

Your programme needs to fit around work, family, travel and everything else competing for your time.

Your Experience

Whether you're starting from scratch, returning after years away or already training regularly, your programme starts where you are.

Your Environment

Train in a commercial gym, at home or a combination of both. Your programme works with the equipment you actually have.

Your Life

Busy weeks, holidays, missed sessions and changes of plan are part of being human. We adapt rather than starting again.

What You Get With Online Coaching

My coaching programme isn't an app that sends you a generic training plan and leaves you to get on with it.

We work together.

Personalised Training

A structured training programme designed specifically around your goals, experience, schedule and available equipment.

Your programme develops as you get stronger and fitter.

Nutrition Guidance

Practical guidance to help you improve your nutrition and build habits that support your goals.

No crash diets.

No unnecessary restriction.

No pretending you'll never eat another meal out.

Regular Check-Ins

We'll regularly review your training, progress, challenges and priorities.

You'll always know what you're working towards and what needs attention next.

Ongoing Support

You’ll have questions. Plans that need changing. Sometimes you need to know whether something you're doing is actually worth doing.

You'll have direct access to me for guidance and support between check-ins.

Programme Adjustments

Your programme isn't set in stone.

If your schedule changes, something isn't working or you've progressed beyond your current programme, we'll adapt it.

Accountability

You don't have to rely entirely on motivation.

We'll establish clear targets, review your progress and keep you accountable to the things you've said you want to achieve.

What Our Clients Say

“My biggest fear was having a lack of contact and accountability with Jamie because it was online. I have lost 4kg in body weight and increased all my lifts by 10kg since starting. I've got so much more from it than I expected.”

— Ollie Scott

“Training with Sensei Johnstone has been nothing short of epic for me.

Jamie started me off with small steps - like 15-minute walks after each meal.

We built on from there and now I regularly exercise 3 x a week and have a much better relationship with food.”

— James Hutton

“Thanks Jamie, for trusting me, supporting me, all the help and education! I feel amazing, soooo energised and determined. I am already thinking about the next steps! Not only to lose weight, but look more fit too.”

— Naz Rashidi

How Online Coaching Works

01 — Apply

Tell me about yourself, your goals, your current training and what's getting in the way.

This gives me a clear picture of where you are now and whether online coaching is the right fit.

02 — We Talk

We'll have a conversation about your goals, lifestyle and what you want from coaching.

I'll explain how the coaching works and answer any questions you have.

No hard sell.

03 — I Build Your Plan

Once we decide to work together, I'll build your training and coaching around your individual circumstances.

You won't receive a generic programme that could have been written for anyone.

04 — You Train

You follow your programme wherever and whenever works for you.

I'll be there to answer questions, review your progress and help you make adjustments along the way.

05 — We Adapt & Progress

As you become stronger and fitter, your programme changes.

And when life changes, we adapt.

The goal isn't simply to complete a programme.

It's to build an approach that you can continue using for years.

Choose the Level of Coaching That Fits You

You need the right level of support to help you make consistent progress.

Coaching For Real Life

I don't believe your life should revolve around your training.

You might have a demanding career.

You might have young children.

You might travel.

You might have hobbies and a social life you actually enjoy.

You might only have three hours a week available to train.

That's fine.

Training should make your life better — not become another source of stress.

Progress Over Perfection

There will be weeks when things don't go to plan.

Work gets busy. The kids get ill. You go on holiday. You miss a session.

That's normal. The goal isn't to execute your programme perfectly.

It's to keep moving forwards.

Train For Real Life

Training should improve your ability to live your life.

Play sport.

Keep up with your kids.

Go hiking. Play golf. Travel. Feel good.

Do the things you enjoy.

The gym is the means — not the end.

Build, Don't Punish

Exercise isn't punishment for what you've eaten.

Training is an opportunity to build a stronger, fitter and more capable body.

And if losing body fat is one of your goals, we'll address that as part of the bigger picture rather than relying on extreme diets.

Consistency Over Intensity

You don't need to train every day.

You don't need every session to leave you exhausted.

You need an approach you can consistently execute.

Sometimes that means pushing yourself.

Sometimes it means doing less because life is busy.

Both can be part of successful long-term coaching.

Is Online Coaching Right For You?

Online coaching is designed for adults who want expert guidance but need flexibility.

It's particularly suited to people who:

Have a demanding job or busy family life
Want to get stronger
Want to improve their fitness
Want to lose body fat
Have struggled to stay consistent
Are tired of generic workout programmes
Aren't sure what they should be doing in the gym
Want accountability without fixed appointments
Train at home or in a commercial gym
Want to improve their health without giving up the rest of their life
Want someone experienced to guide their training and nutrition
Are prepared to take an active role in their own progress

You don't need to be fit before you start.

You don't need years of gym experience.

And you don't need everything figured out.

You just need to be ready to start.

Why Work With Me?

I'm Jamie, founder of JJ Strength & Fitness.

I help people with busy schedules build strength, improve fitness and develop sustainable habits through personalised online coaching.

My own experience of discovering strength training after years of poor habits heavily influences how I coach today.

I've learned that the most effective approach usually isn't the most complicated one.

It's the one you understand.

The one you can actually implement.

And the one you can continue doing when life gets busy.

That's why my coaching focuses on:

Simple training.

Practical nutrition.

Sustainable progress.

Rather than extreme diets, punishing workouts and fitness fads.

My goal isn't simply to help you get in better shape.

It's to help you build the knowledge, habits and physical capacity to stay that way.

I’ve spent a lot of money and time (more than I’d like to admit!) learning about the body, biomechanics, exercise physiology as well as behaviour change and psychology.

What I love most about my job is putting all of that learning into coaching my clients to become more resilient, stronger and fitter.
