Client Transformation: 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.

Your First 30 Days To A Healthier, Stronger, Fitter You!
Struggling to Get Results with Personal Training in Oxford?
If you're like many of the people I work with, you've tried to get fitter before.
You've joined a gym, followed a workout plan, downloaded a fitness app, or perhaps even invested in personal training. For a few weeks, everything goes well. Motivation is high, you're making progress, and you're excited about the changes ahead.
Then reality gets in the way.
Work becomes busier. Family commitments take priority. School runs, meetings, holidays, social events, and unexpected challenges begin to fill your calendar. The workouts that seemed manageable at the start suddenly feel difficult to fit in, and before long you're missing sessions, losing momentum, and wondering why nothing ever seems to stick.
The problem isn't a lack of motivation or willpower.
The problem is that most fitness programmes aren't designed for busy adults with real responsibilities.
Generic gym plans often expect everyone to follow the same programme regardless of their goals, experience, schedule or lifestyle. They provide exercises but little guidance. They don't adapt when life gets hectic, and they certainly don't help you stay accountable when motivation inevitably fades.
Traditional personal training can help, but it often comes with its own challenges. Fixed appointment times don't always suit busy schedules, and progress can become dependent on the one or two sessions you attend each week. What happens during those sessions is important—but what happens during the other 166 hours of the week matters even more.
That's where many people find themselves stuck.
They know they need structure. They know they need accountability. They know they need expert guidance. But they also need flexibility.
They need a programme that works around their life rather than forcing their life to revolve around fitness.
That's why I coach clients online.
My online coaching combines the expertise and accountability of personal training with the flexibility that busy adults actually need. Instead of trying to squeeze your life around fixed gym appointments, your training programme is built around your schedule, your commitments, your available equipment and your goals.
Whether you train at a gym, at home, or a combination of both, you'll always know exactly what to do. You'll have ongoing support, regular check-ins, personalised feedback and a clear plan designed specifically for you—not a generic programme downloaded from the internet.
Most importantly, my online coaching helps you build habits that work in the real world.
No extreme diets.
No unrealistic training schedules.
No starting from scratch every January.
Just a sustainable approach that helps you get stronger, fitter and healthier while balancing work, family and everything else that matters.
If you've been frustrated by generic workout plans or traditional personal training that hasn't delivered lasting results, you're not alone.
The good news is that lasting change doesn't require more motivation.
It requires the right plan, the right support, and a coaching programme designed to fit your life.
Why Using An Online Fitness Coach Like Me Is Different From Training In Person
A Simple Three-Step Coaching Process
1. Assess
We start by understanding your goals, current fitness level, lifestyle and the obstacles that have held you back in the past.
2. Build
I create a personalised training and coaching plan designed specifically around your needs, schedule and goals.
3. Progress
Through ongoing coaching, accountability and programme adjustments, you'll build sustainable habits and continue moving towards your goals with confidence.
The Result?
You stop jumping from one fitness plan to another.
You stop relying on motivation.
You stop wondering whether you're doing the right thing.
Instead, you follow a clear plan, receive expert support and build the strength, fitness and confidence that comes from consistently doing the right things over time.
Because lasting results don't come from perfection.
They come from having a proven plan and the support to stick with it.
Real Client Success Stories
I’ve helped clients across Oxford, the UK, and around the world improve strength, fitness, confidence and long-term consistency through personalised online coaching.
Sustainable fat loss without restrictive dieting
Increased strength and confidence
Improved fitness and energy levels
Better routines and long-term consistency
Flexible coaching for busy professionals and parents
“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.
Jamie started me off with small steps - like 15-minute walks after each meal.
We built on from there and now I regularly exercise 3 x a week and have a much better relationship with food.”
- James Hutton
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.
My Coaching Philosophy
I believe fitness should improve your life — not take it over. The best training plan is the one you can stick to consistently.
That means:
Training efficiently
Eating realistically
Building habits gradually
Focusing on long-term progress over short-term extremes
You do not need to be perfect.
You just need a plan that fits your life and someone to keep you accountable along the way.
Qualifications & Experience
As a Personal Trainer and Strength Coach in Oxford, I combine evidence-based training principles with real-world coaching experience to help clients achieve lasting results safely and effectively.
I continue to invest heavily in ongoing education so I can give my clients the best possible coaching, programming, and support.
I’ve recently invested a lot of time and money into learning from some of the best rehab and strength coaches in the world like David Grey, Alex Natera, and the guys at Compound Performance.

Is Online Personal Training Right for You?
Not every fitness programme is right for every person.

✓ You're tired of starting and stopping fitness programmes and want a sustainable approach you can maintain long-term.

✓ You want to build strength, lose body fat, improve your fitness or simply feel healthier and more energetic.

The Best Results Come From Partnership
Successful coaching is a two-way process.
My role is to provide the expertise, structure, support and accountability you need to succeed.
Your role is to show up, follow the plan and communicate openly with me throughout the process.
When those two things come together, you can make incredible progress.
If you're ready to stop starting over and want a realistic approach that fits around your life, my online personal training system is exactly what you've been looking for.
What's Included in My Online Personal Training Programme?
When you join my coaching programme, you're not simply receiving a workout plan.
You're getting the structure, support and accountability needed to make lasting progress, even when life gets busy.
Everything is designed to help you train with confidence, stay consistent and achieve results that last.
Personalised Training Programme
Your training plan is built specifically around your goals, experience level, schedule and available equipment.
Whether you train at a commercial gym, a home gym or from your living room, you'll receive a programme that fits your circumstances and helps you progress safely and effectively.
Every exercise, session and progression is chosen with your individual goals in mind.
Nutrition Guidance
Forget restrictive diets and confusing nutrition advice.
You'll receive practical, sustainable guidance that helps you improve your eating habits without eliminating your favourite foods or completely changing your lifestyle.
The goal is to create a way of eating that supports your results while remaining realistic for the long term.
Regular Check-Ins and Accountability
Consistency is one of the biggest predictors of success.
Through regular check-ins, we'll review your progress, celebrate your wins and identify any challenges before they become obstacles.
You'll always know what you're doing well and what needs adjusting to keep moving forward.
Ongoing Coach Support
Questions will always come up along the way.
Whether you're unsure about an exercise, struggling with motivation, navigating a busy week or looking for advice, you'll have direct access to expert support when you need it.
You're never left trying to figure things out on your own.
Progress Tracking
Results are about much more than the number on the scales.
We'll track the metrics that matter most to your goals, including strength improvements, body measurements, fitness levels, performance markers, habits and overall wellbeing.
This allows you to see progress clearly, even when it's not immediately visible in the mirror.
Programme Adjustments
Life changes, and your training plan should adapt with it.
As your fitness improves and circumstances evolve, your programme will be adjusted to ensure you're continually progressing without feeling overwhelmed.
This flexibility is one of the biggest advantages of online personal training.
Habit and Lifestyle Coaching
The most successful clients aren't those who rely on motivation.
They're the ones who build sustainable habits.
I'll help you develop routines and behaviours that support your goals, making healthy choices feel easier and more automatic over time.
Training Around Your Life
Perhaps the biggest benefit of all is flexibility.
You won't need to rearrange your life around fixed appointments or spend hours travelling to sessions.
Instead, you'll have a clear plan, expert guidance and ongoing support that fits around your work, family and other commitments.
Because fitness should enhance your life—not take it over.
Everything Working Together
Most people don't fail because they lack information.
They fail because they lack a system.
My online personal training programme combines personalised training, nutrition guidance, accountability and expert support into one complete coaching experience designed to help you achieve lasting results.
No guesswork.
No generic plans.
No quick fixes.
Just a clear path towards becoming stronger, fitter and healthier.
