Case Studies

Dean completes his first Backyard Ultra

"I never thought I could hit 50 miles but the team work was incredible. Special thanks to Age Tooley for the continued adivce & support throughout all of it"

100 Miles Castle to Castle 

I've run a marathon & undertaken many other types of fitness & endurance events but I knew completing 100 miles of Scottish coastline would require more than another running plan. As an ultra-runner herself Ange knows what it takes to prepare both body & mind for such a challenge & guided me on every aspect of training, race planning (including those I'd never even considered) from nutrition, kit & foot prep through to race strategy & pacing to ensure I made it to the start line 100% ready. Being awake and constantly moving for over 35 hours is tough and there are moments you are ready to quit but Ange's support in the run up to, and regular check-ins during the race kept me focussed, resilient and moving through to the finish line. 

Ange has helped me get back to doing all the things I love & the  confidence to try new challenges!

I started training with Ange 6 months after a bad sprain had left me with a long term ankle injury. I was unable to walk far, cycle, swim or even drive without pain. Going from being super active and outdoorsy to being immobilised was awful. Everything I did seemed to make it worse.

Ange started me off with a programme that took in plenty of rehab alongside some gentle reintroduction to weights to avoid reinjury. I genuinely cannot believe the turnaround. By the end of my first set of 10 sessions I was back lake-swimming and able to tackle longer walks. During my second set I started back on 10 mile cycles and was back at an occasional bootcamp, modifying as needed. A few months in, and my upper body strength is back to where it was, my legs are getting there, and I am back to doing the things I love as well as trying new things such as learning to sail. I've got my life back with sprinkles on top, and couldn't be happier.

From lifting his own body weight to ATHX: Indi is doing things he never dreamed he was capable of

​Earlier this year I decided I wanted to change my lifestyle & can honestly say since working with Ange I haven't looked back since. Not only has my diet changed, but I"m now doing activities I never thought I would be capable of. Joining Ange & JWPT has genuinely been life-changing. 

JWPT is a fantastic family. Everyone is supportive, encouraging & welcoming & no matter your age, fitness level or experience, they support you in achieving your goals & reaching your potential - and then pushing beyond it. 

My biggest regret is that I didn't do it sooner. 

I can't thank Ange & everyone at JWPT enough for the difference they've made to my life. If you're thinking bout making a change I honestly couldn't recommend Ange & JWPT highly enough. ​​​

Laura owns the floor at ATHX 

An experienced middle-distance runner, Laura decided to take on a new challenge competing at ATHX - an event that requires strength & aerobic endurance across multiple disciplines.  Ange worked with me on developing the technical skills required alongside conditioning my runners body to lift heavy & cope with the stresses of the power & agility required whilst minimising the risk of injury so I could maintain my running.

No more running niggles & ready to take on a 50th Birthday Challenge 

I love running but have always struggled with niggles and injuries. I’ve been working with Ange for nearly a year and have been free from injuries ever since. Ange combines her knowledge as a personal trainer with her own experience of having completed some incredible events, to create programmes that work. She understands the challenges of training in midlife with hormonal changes and competing priorities. I enjoy the sessions and Ange has been flexible in working round my other commitments. I feel stronger, I’m more confident in the gym, I know I’m protecting my future health, and most importantly I’m enjoying it. Ange is now helping me work towards my next challenge, a 70 mile ultra marathon with a group of friends to celebrate my 50th birthday next year, and I’m confident that she will make sure I’m well prepared!
