words from Saul -
I would like to start off by saying this has been a journey and I could not have done this alone. Doing this is not easy for me as I do not enjoy the spotlight. When I look at myself before I started my journey it brings up allot of emotions. My life took a turn in the wrong direction and I was lost to say the least. I would turn to substance abuse and overeating as comfort. Once these bad habits had been built it became a nightmare I could not get out of. With the help of my family I was able to seek help with my substance abuse which would be the start of this Journey.
I remember walking into Ascot Vale Leisure centre anxious not knowing what was going to happen. It was a Sunday, and I asked the girl at the counter if there are any PT’s I could meet with (Thank you Evelyn) she replied not normally on Sundays but let me check. Few minutes later out comes Jordan bubbly and bouncy like usual. Asking all the questions I did not have answers to like:
What are your goals?
What is your food like?
What do you expect to accomplish training with me?
I booked in a time with Jordan and we began training. It had been over 10 years since I used the gym, and I was extremely unfit. I remember in one of our earlier sessions we did squats, and I busted my shorts open Jordan and I had a good laugh. But this was quite shocking and sad. I then realised this was not going to be easy and I put all my trust into training with Jordan, listening to his advice and slowly we chipped away. I did go that weekend to buy some gym clothes XXL which were tight, so I did not have to go through that again!
Jordan would teach me about nutrition and proper training techniques and helped me gain the confidence I had lost. I did not see the weight loss I was wanting until I decided to try the Ketogenic diet which I am so grateful for. I was able to lose majority of the weight I have lost in about 1.5 years whilst doing Keto, training with Jordan, Intermittent fasting and slowly doing more cardio.
My fitness was still not great even today I feel it is what I need to improve on. I would always tell Jordan never put me on the treadmill or I am never coming back! I think he respected that for a little while. My first 400-meter run on the treadmill is one I will never forget! I think I got maybe 300 meters until I had to stop and catch my breath. It is a process and slowly we have built it up and I can now run 4K aiming for 5 soon!
The last 3 years of my life have been truly incredible being able to challenge myself. Push through the hard patches which there have been many. To show up put in the hard work consistently sometimes with a good attitude and other times not so much. I am 3 years drug/drink free and 3 years of training and have come from 124kg to 89kg which sometimes shocks me!
It is difficult writing this knowing what to include and share. Jordan is moving states and we will end our training face to face together which I will miss immensely. We have been working together for the last 3 years and I would like to say THANK YOU JORDAN! Without having you by my side I would not have been able to do this alone.
Farewell my trainer, My mentor, My friend.
I hope this can inspire others out there who might be struggling like I was.

When was your lightbulb moment to want to train with Jordan? The lightbulb moment for me happened about a year ago now after realising that I wasn’t pushing myself hard enough when training by myself. I’m someone who likes a challenge and couldn’t see a better time to have someone help and guide me in getting that little bit more out of my training What was your health and fitness regime before seeing Jordan? I thought it was good, I’m someone who trains 5-6 times a week so almost every day but it’s actually incredible how you see yourself and what you do once you have someone looking over you like a PT What changes in yourself have you noticed since training with Jordan? I think for me personally having Jordan their on a daily basis not just for training purposes but everything in general is and always will be a huge help to me. Physically I feel really good, having come to him with fears of using my knee in particular he has helped me overcome that Biggest thing you’ve learnt? That Jordan doesn’t care that it’s a Saturday morning, he’s still going to destroy you hahah! In all seriousness I think the biggest thing I’ve learnt since training with Jordan is that he can push you beyond your own thought of your own ability. Having come into it hardly training any lower body Jordan specifically made sure we did Health and fitness goals for the rest of 2019? Continue everything Jordan taught me, continue to seek help and advice on everything technique wise and learn the weird and wacky excerises I didn’t even know existed until he showed me Advice to someone wanting to train with Jordan? Do it! But also don’t because he’ll kill you. But also do it hahaha.

"After completing the first 12 weeks of training with Jordan I felt so much more energetic and healthier! I have now been training with Jordan for over 12 months and in that time I have learnt a lot about nutrition and how the body responds to change! Fitness level... I thought I was fit before I started but quickly realised that I was not! Once i noticed how unfit I was i knew i need support to help me achieve my goals! Changes... i never struggled with weight but I was never able to reduce fat on certain areas of my body. I have been able to loose body fat whilst building muscle. As a result my full body proportion has changed! I noticed that my behaviours have changed too I feel happier, more confident and energetic which had a positive impact on my life. Advise.. listen to Jordan and do what he says to have fast results. Training sessions are never easy with him, he will push you to your limits but once you there it is extremely rewarding after."

"My confidence has grown massively, not only in the gym but also in my personal life. My gut health is under control and I can eat a wider variety of foods that I was always hesitant to eat. What is the biggest thing you have learned? I have learnt that maintaining a healthy weight doesn’t mean you have to smash yourself in the gym every single day or restrict yourself with crazy unmaintainable diets. I am not fixated on the scales but I would love to get to my goal weight this year and I would also like to be able to do a pull up on my own. Advice to someone wanting to train with Jordan? Listen! He is so knowledgeable and looks at your health from a holistic point of you. He’s so much more than a PT! " RESULTS: TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS OF ? 8kg loss, increase in overall strength. Gut issues under control.

He is an excellent trainer. He will push you, he will challenge you and he will support you. No matter how big or little you goal is he will get you there. When you achieve the little milestones you set along the way in your training the genuine excitement and pride Jordan expresses just makes you want to push that little bit more. I can honestly say I would not have been able to do this without him. For me he has made the impossible possible and I will forever be grateful. Dee lost 14kgs

I can’t recommend Jordan enough – without a doubt I would not have achieved as much as I have without him. He is an outstanding personal trainer; he challenges and pushes you whilst making the training fun and giving you great support and guidance. His genuine enthusiasm for your success and his passion for fitness, health and nutrition is also contagious, motivating you even further through the process. RESULTS: TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS OF 24KGS
