TESTIMONIALS

I am writing to you to say a huge thanks. The kids absolutely loved the session and want more! All their feedback was extremely positive and most said that they would definitely look to pursue this sort of activity as a means of exercise in the future.They enjoyed the  challenging nature of this type of training but also had fun at the same time.There were plenty of sore chests and shoulders the next day! The kids also said that having good instructors would make a difference as to whether they would pursue this activity or not and that you guys were outstanding! So all in all, the experience for the kids was fantastic,and will only help to develop a positive outlook toward exercise.

Thanks again, I had no doubt that it would be successful because of the absolute professionals that you are and the passion which you have for exercise and life in general!

This event was the toughest, most painful thing I have ever done in my life- physically and mentally. I pushed through pain barriers I didn't even know existed and I had to find levels of mental toughness that I have never called on before.

There is also no doubt in my mind that I couldn't have done it without the help of you two. The training program you did for us got the kilometres under the belt. The Friday morning training sessions we did with you helped even more... but it was the advice I got from Jock at my low point at 75km that got me going again - even though I was probably sobbing while I was listening to what he was telling me to do, it snapped me out of wanting to stop. Finishing took a lot longer than I had planned, but at the end of the day (well, at the end of two days..!), we finished and that's what is important.

Jock sent me a message saying that he was happy I'd finished - I think I nearly cried then knowing that if it wasn't for Jock's advice at 75km, I probably wouldn't have finished. Then when Paul sent a text saying he was proud of me I think I nearly cried again - here is a guy who has trained world class athletes and the toughest rugby league players in the world saying he was proud of me... getting these messages from you made it all worthwhile. You've made me realise that if I set myself a challenge - no matter how hard and how painful - I can do it. For that I thank you with all my heart.

Thanks guys - you're truly awesome!

After 3 knee operations, a severed peroneal nerve and several undesired KG's later I thought my running days were over. Through Jock Athletic's carefully tailored training programs using mainly soft surfaces and tailored individual programs I was 'blown away' by my improvement! I managed to run the entire Spring Beach Classic (8km Beach run) after only 6 weeks training! Jock and Paul's advice and support was right on the money and has changed my way of life!

Just wanted to let you know that we had a Board of Management Meeting on Tuesday evening - 22 items of correspondence were tabled, 21 related to the exercise program, in particular the program held on Monday and run by Paul and Jock - it was classified as an outstanding success as all 21 items were feedback from family members and staff at group homes where some of the guys reside. All asked to pass on their sincere thanks to Paul and Jock. Some of the service users that attend New Era have had truly horrendous lives and it takes something special to break through to them and have an impact - it would appear that the exercise program is doing exactly that - thank you all so much.

We have one young lady in particular who was made to do exercise as punishment as she was growing up, consequently any form of physical activity in the past has been met with open aggression or great depths of depression, particularly when the activity has been run by relative strangers. The boys have been the first people, apart from some of our staff at New Era who have been able to reach Ros with such a positive outcome. Her staff in particular asked me to thank you, Monday night was the first time in 14 months that there has not been a violent incident - a huge achievement if you were to know her history.

Thanks again.

I first encountered Jock when he was the strength and conditioning coach for the Australian Cricket Team and he was using our Skins for performance benefits and improving the recovery of the Australian players.

After returning to Australia, I contacted Jock to ask his help in getting myself fit as I had put on a lot of weight over a long period of time. I felt uncomfortable to the point that it was not only affecting my personal life but being overweight was also affecting my business life as well. I was not as motivated as I wanted to be and my health was suffering because of it too. Over the course of 6 months, Jock helped me closely with my exercise programme and eating regime. The incredible thing regarding the food intake was how painless the process was. Ordinarily we are used to suffering in order to lose weight but Jock showed me how I could eat well and never be hungry as with most fad diets.

Apart from the regime, Jock wrote me a personal exercise programme and we met every week to monitor the progress and do a session together. Jock is the type of guy who can make these sessions enjoyable (well, as enjoyable as they can be!) and I can honestly say that I enjoyed every moment.

Because of Jock's involvement I lost 28 kgs during this 6 month period and found myself wearing clothes I never thought I would see again. I highly recommend Jock to anybody, particularly business people who have very limited time and need to utilize their limited time in the best fashion they can.

I know that Jock will have immense success with his new venture, Jock Athletic and am so convinced that my company has become a sponsor of his new business.

What I really love about Jock Athletic is it's professionalism. I really enjoyed this morning. Everyone was very encouraging and it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Being around positive people is such an amazing energy booster, especially when you think you can't go any further.

Paul has been a revelation at the Panthers for us, including having us peaking for our 2003 Premiership, which was considered one of the fastest Grand Finals ever. His ability to gain maximum fitness whilst having us enjoy the workout is amazing. You would not meet a more dedicated and motivational person then Paul. Personally the last five years has been a privilege to had been trained by Paul and I will be certainly using his expertise in the future.

Paul trained me to be super fit and healthy and is one of the reasons I played over 300 first grade games.

Jock has been a massive part of my success over the past 12 years. I would not have won the Australian & World Medals if it wasn't for his expertise and commitment.

If it wasn't for Jock I would never have won a world title! He makes training very hard, but also heaps of fun and has helped take my running to a new level.

Jock has got me leaner, fitter, faster and stronger than I have ever been. I am on a plan now that has eliminated my previous cramping problem and am now one of the fittest players in the Australian squad. Due to Jock's help and training methods I was able to score 150 in my Test Match debut in the heat and humidity of India without any signs of cramping. Jock as been an extremely positive influence on my career and I will continue to work with him in the future!

When Paul got a hold of me I was very young, but also very heavy - about 130kg! Through his encouragement and time and effort I got down to about 90kg, began playing sport and improved my whole life. Paul has remained one of my family's very close friends and I can't thank him enough!

I love the positive nature and friendliness of Paul and Jock's sessions. Everyone is made feel so welcome no matter what your fitness level and through the sessions I have achieved levels I never thought possible!

There are two guaranteed things that always happen at Paul and Jock's sessions, a laugh and hard work! The sessions are a very positive place to be that always bring out your best with an encouraging team atmosphere!

You couldn't find better people to train with or at a better location! In the past 18months of doing the sand hills with them it has done more for my heart condition than the previous 10 years of medication, so I couldn't be happier!
