“My biggest fear: having a lack of contact/accountability with Jamie (it being online coaching).
I have lost 4kgs in body weight, and in terms of my strength, I’ve increased all my lifts by 10kgs since starting.
I've got so much more from it than I expected. The relationship that I have with Jamie online is a lot more collaborative than I expected, or that I've had with other apps. I really think you'll love it.”
- Ollie Scott
“Training with Sensei Johnstone has been nothing short of epic for me.
When we started training I was at a seriously low point and stuck in a really horrible cycle - felt crap about myself.
I convinced myself it was all pointless so I'd just keep stuffing my face.
Jamie started me off with small steps - like 15-minute walks after each meal, a realistic fitness regime to ease me in.
We built on from there and now I regularly exercise 3x a week and have a much better relationship with food.”
- James Hutton
“I couldn't see how online coaching would work for me - if I'm not gonna see my coach. This is all about accountability and sticking to a plan.
But I’ve lost over 12kgs in 5 months. I feel more energised and more motivated.
The biggest breakthrough is Jamie’s ability and patience to help me stick to the plan, to hold me to account for doing what I need to do.
And to keep pushing me, and adjusting it to my lifestyle and my very busy work schedule.”
- Naz Rashidi

My Coaching Philosophy
Sustainable Over Extreme
I focus on realistic progress you can maintain long term.

Accountability Matters
Consistency is easier when you have support and structure.

Real Client Results
“Jamie has been excellent at both building and evolving a plan to help me improve my technique and core strength. As well as promising results, I have also been able to learn a lot of valuable insights during the programme.”
- Thady Ramos
“One thing I would say about working with Jamie: it's a real partnership. A couple of times I’ve gone to him and said ‘I didn't feel good after doing that exercise at home.’ And he's changed the program for me.
I feel that he really listens to what I'm saying about where I want to be with my body and what I want to do in the future. So get in touch, you will not be disappointed.”
- Sam Bowers
“Originally, I didn't know if I could stick to a plan alongside my busy work schedule and social life, but Jamie knows how to keep you on track.
For anyone sitting on the fence, Jamie has helped me get lean, and increase my strength, without interfering with work or weekends spent with mates.”
- Alex Noble
“Amazing teacher! I was the last person to like the gym, but with his patience, understanding and caring I have changed my mind completely! Pure joy! Not a bad word to say! Jamie made me believe in myself once again!”
- Kat Home-Philips
“Jamie has been fundamental in my recovery from bi-lateral total hip replacements.
I am 76 & his dedication to rebuilding my strength & condition has enabled me to fulfill my passion for golf, the game I love.
Just the best coach you could have if you live near Oxford.”
- Martin Lee
“Jamie is the best personal trainer I’ve ever had. I’ve already lost a few kilos training for my first 5k. If you’re looking for a passionate trainer and real results in Oxford, Jamie is the one you want!”
- Keenya Hofmaier
“Jamie is a fabulous trainer and I highly recommend him to anyone who is just starting out, trying to get back into strength training (like me), or someone with years of experience who needs someone to push them. Jamie found the right balance of getting me to work hard and push my limits, without ever pushing too hard and getting an injury. He also has a good sense of humour and fun, which helps when your muscles are sore!”
- Nick McKeown
“Jamie is an excellent personal trainer: personable, diligent, conscientious and very knowledgeable. Over the past twelve months Jamie has helped me shed just over two stone, improved my overall fitness, helped with my strength and agility, and kept it interesting and engaging throughout. Highly recommended!”
- James Brooke
“I’ve had amazing and uplifting experience with Jamie. He is an excellent personal trainer if you are in Oxford or near. He listened to my needs and tailored my workouts and managed to lose weight 5kg and still losing more following his plans and he set me up with the training and preps I needed for a 5K and 10k run. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for fitness training or weight loss support in Oxford and nearby”
- Paul Salvo
“Jamie helped me address and recover from a serious hamstring injury. He gave me a range of stretches and exercises which really helped. Once I recovered from that he assisted me improve my speed and strength. I've significantly raised my VO2 max, am much fitter and stronger, and much less likely to get injured again. He's a very experienced personal trainer, relatively new to Oxford / Oxfordshire, very knowledge, and extremely personally. Would strongly recommend.”
- Paul Troop
Meet Your Coach
Meet Jamie – Personal Trainer & Fitness Coach in Oxford
I’m Jamie — a Personal Trainer and Fitness Coach based in Oxford, UK. I help busy adults get stronger, fitter, healthier, and more resilient without wasting hours in the gym or living on restrictive diets.
But beyond coaching, I’m also a dad, a weekend bread baker, a hot sauce enthusiast, and someone who genuinely loves learning new languages.
Fitness is a huge part of my life now, but that wasn’t always the case.
From Ski Bum to Strength Coach
When I was 21, I left university and moved to the Swiss Alps to become what can only be described as a full-time ski bum.
For six years, life revolved around skiing hard, partying hard, and avoiding anything that looked remotely like adult responsibility. It was fun — until it wasn’t.
Eventually, I realised I was drifting towards a future I didn’t want.
I was unhealthy, undisciplined, low on energy, and nowhere near the person I wanted to become. Running for the bus left me breathless. My habits were poor. My fitness was worse.
That’s when I found strength training and fitness.
And yes, it sounds cliché — but training genuinely changed the direction of my life.
Fitness gave me structure, discipline, confidence, and purpose. It helped me build a healthier lifestyle and become someone stronger physically and mentally.
That transformation is exactly why I became a personal trainer.
Why I Coach the Way I Do
Like many people, I spent years making mistakes.
I jumped between training programmes, followed unsustainable diets, overcomplicated nutrition, and wasted time chasing “perfect” fitness plans that didn’t fit real life.
Now, I help my clients avoid those same mistakes.
My coaching is built around simplicity, consistency, and sustainability.
No fitness fads. No pointless gym sessions. No unrealistic meal plans.
Just intelligent training, practical nutrition, and habits that work in the real world.
Because life is already busy enough.
Whether you’re balancing work, parenting, stress, or simply trying to regain confidence in your body, my goal is to help you get results efficiently and sustainably.

Client Journey: Meet Naz
‘I don’t get how this’ll work if it’s online - I won’t even see my coach!?’
Naz’s concern wasn’t a new one. I'd heard it before.
She worried that without me by her side, she wouldn’t be held to account, turn up to her sessions, or eat healthily.
‘I’ve tried everything,’ she said wearily on the phone when we first spoke.
‘Calorie counting, diets, My Fitness Pal - it hasn’t worked.’
If she continued down the path she was on, she pictured herself as ‘weak and overweight’ when she got older.
Despite all her worries, despite her reservations, and her apprehension about joining an online coaching system…And despite the fact that she thought she had tried everything in order to lose weight…
She lost over 10kgs in just 5 months.
Within those 5 months, here’s what else she’s achieved:
- Lost weight whilst continuing to eat pizza, burgers, and desserts
- Continues to increase her strength and is the strongest she’s EVER been
- She set her sights on longer-term goals and making fitness a part of her life
She prioritises protein, veggies, and high-fibre foods.
She trains 4 x per week and continues to exercise even when she’s away on business trips. (Another awesome benefit of our online coaching system: I can change your program at the drop of a hat to fit your schedule.)
Business trips, dinners out, or eating away from home used to be a problem for Naz. Now she has the tools to enjoy social events without resorting to eating salads every meal.
Make no mistake, though: I haven’t done the hard work for her.
I just provide the tools and the planning. Naz is the one who is showing up every day and taking action
What’s the outcome? She sees results week after week.
As I said, I can’t lift the weight for you. But if you’re up to the challenge and ready to get results - I’ve got the tools and experience to help you get there.
