John's Fit for Life
Fitness Coaching & Personal Training
Unleash Your Leadership Potential with Fitness Coaching with John Cook
Transform Your Body, Empower Your Mind
A gym instructor, soon to be a personal trainer.
There is so much talk everywhere about people living longer lives than previous generations. I want to help people not only to add even more years to their lives but also (and arguably even more importantly) to add life to those years. Habits are often set early in life so encouraging people into healthier lifestyles and healthier diets in their early adult life will make it easier for those people to maintain their good habits as old father time creeps up on them. However, its never too late to start and that is what I am about. I want to work with you to help you to achieve your goals of feeling good, looking better, loosing weight, toning the body or whatever. From my own experiences as an amateur sportsman I discovered that things had to be right off the field if they were going to be right on the field. It follows that feeling fitter, better, stronger and ready to meet life head on will yield all manner of benefits for every other aspects of your life – family, mental health, relationships, professional progression and whatever else is important to you.

Coaching Specialties
My coaching speciality is very simple, I coach people to a healthier, happier and fuller life.
As we age hormonal changes in our bodies result in loss of muscle and weaker bones, this applies to all of us but I’m sorry ladies but it’s more pronounced for you than it is for us chaps. This threatens to make us less mobile and more prone to trips and falls and the consequences, as well as the likelihood, of such accidents increases. A well thought out progressive exercise regime will halt, even reverse all that. No two people are alike so I believe it is important to tailor an exercise regime for the individual: develop something that achieves their aims but also recognises their interests, preferences, time available, etc
Coaching Philosophy
What Clients Can Expect
We will start with a health check and then have an introductory meeting for me to learn a little about your current lifestyle. We can then talk about exercise preferences, dietary habits, personal goals and realistic time frames. We can then work together to devise a strategy to reach your goals through a detailed progressive program of agreed targets to change eating habits and activity levels. Finally we will meet regularly to record progress, discuss next steps and overcome any regressions
The outcome will depend upon the goals you set for yourself but typical outcomes could be loosing weight, being and feeling fitter, having more zest for life or all of the above.
Client Outcomes & Benefits
Something About Me
Did you know?
I once played rugby with Denise Lewis, the former heptathlete turned sports commentator.
While walking across Clapham common one summers evening with nothing on my my mind, a voice shouted across and asked if I fancied balancing up the sides in a game of touch rugby. The voice cam from a man I immediately recognised as Joe Ansbro, the first man of African origin to play rugby for Scotland. How could I turn the legend down. Imagine my surprise when I was lined up facing another legend in the from of Denise Lewis. All I remember is being mesmerised by her running style, she didn’t run as much as flow over the ground.
What my clients have to say
No matter the support you need, I will always strive to do my best for you, whether you are looking for Executive Leadership or Relationship Coaching.
My Clients' RATING
I am so pleased that I found Jeanette when I did! Each domain of my life felt misaligned, and I was really in need of support and guidance. Jeanette provided this in abundance! She worked with me to identify my values – what drives me personally and professionally; what matters to me and what excites me.

She helped me navigate work challenges and offered a safe space to unpick what was making me feel unhappy and unfulfilled in my current work environment. With Jeanette’s support and gentle, affirmative reminders of what I have achieved and what is good in my life, I started to rebuild my confidence. I made the decision to leave my job and apply for new opportunities and have now secured a new, values-aligned role which I start in the New Year! This is in no small part thanks to Jeanette’s encouragement and support with interview preparation! I highly recommend Jeanette’s kind, structured and empowering approach for help navigating any of life’s challenges.

And now I feel that I have a much clearer plan for the future along with a new insight into how I might further develop my work. Jeanette is aspirational for me and encourages me to be ambitious whilst also remaining sensitive to me as an individual. She is able to draw on her own extensive background of effective service delivery and management to help me with my thinking both about current work issues and about my next steps.
I’d highly recommend time with Jeanette for anyone who wants to tease apart the different strands that make up a working life and then reconsider how best to develop different areas in order to become more effective and more content.
