Everyone moves. Some of us go further.
Personal training, sports massage and nutrition coaching in Barry and Cardiff.
Everything is already there
Most training sells you a new version of yourself. I don't think that's how it works.
You already have the strength, the range, the capacity. Usually something is in the way — a restriction, a habit, a gap in what nobody ever explained to you. The work is clearing it.
Massage removes what's blocking you. Training reveals what's underneath. Nutrition and mindset make it stick.
Your body knows how to do this. Let's clear the way.
That's the warm half. The cold half is that I measure everything. Range of motion, load, reps, resting heart rate, how you're sleeping. You get the numbers at the start and you get them again later, in writing.
I follow the evidence, not the trends. And where the evidence is thin — which in fitness and nutrition is more often than the industry admits — I'll tell you that too.
What I do
MOVE Strength — Personal training
For getting stronger, moving better, and understanding why.
Whether you've never touched a barbell or you're preparing for a season, the method is the same: assess, explain, measure, adjust. You'll know what every session is for. Beginners welcome — genuinely, not as a marketing line.
MOVE Therapy — Sports and remedial massage
For pain, restriction, and recovery.
Hands-on work for tight hips, stiff shoulders, niggling backs, and post-training recovery. Mobile — I come to you across Barry and Cardiff. Level 3 qualified, member of the Sports Massage Association, fully insured.
MOVE Coaching — Nutrition, mindset and online programming
For fuelling properly and thinking clearly.
Level 4 qualified in Advanced Sport Nutrition. Sold in eight or twelve-week blocks, delivered remotely, so distance isn't a barrier. Covers what you eat, how you train around it, and the mental side that most programmes ignore.
Start with The Unpack
One hour. Three layers: how you move, how you fuel, how you think.
I'll assess your movement properly — joint by joint, not a quick squat and a guess. We'll go through what you're eating and why. And we'll talk about what's actually stopped you before, because it's usually not the training.
You leave with a written report: your numbers, what they mean, and what to do next. It's yours whether you train with me afterwards or not.

I'm Jon
I spent ten years as a teacher. Now I do the same job with training.
That's not a career-change story — it's the whole method. Teaching taught me that people don't need to be shouted at, they need to be shown. Most people I meet have been told what to do plenty of times. Nobody explained it.
I'm a qualified personal trainer, sports massage therapist, and hold a Level 4 qualification in Advanced Sport Nutrition. I work with general population clients getting started, and with athletes and lifters who want something more specific. The approach doesn't change — only the depth.
I'm based in Barry and work across Barry and Cardiff.
