Welcome to the Jim’s Gym Fitness MOT (Mobility Optimisation Tune-Up). I established Jim’s Gym for people over 55 to help bridge the gap between understanding the importance of being more active and incorporating physical activity into their lives.

My journey from working as a Sales Director in the corporate world to becoming a personal trainer, fitness expert for the over-50s, and businessman has been a winding road. If I think about how much I’ve learnt along the way and how often I’ve had to get out of my comfort zone and, in fact, out of my own way, I can’t help but feel a little sense of achievement and gratitude for the journey. 

A brand new 4-week strength program to help you feel stronger and move better from home using minimal equipment. Session one is a FREE Workout! Workouts 2, 3, and 4 will be available to members at Jim’s Gym; sign up here for £9.99 a month - www.jimsgym.fitness.
