Jay is a fantastic trainer who tailors every session according to personal fitness goals and motivations. I started training with Jay in January, and I have already gained huge levels of confidence in the gym as well as reaching several of my nutrition, fitness and weight goals. I can't recommend Jay enough!

Jay has been a fantastic guide in helping me realise the benefits of exercise, nutrition and fitness since I started working with her in January. The programmes she puts together were always suited to my goals and tailored to the exercises I enjoyed most and felt motivated to do - I would definitely recommend Jay to anyone looking for a PT!

Have been training now for three months and definitely seeing and feeling the benefits. Sessions are varied and always designed to push you just beyond what is comfortable. Jay takes the time to understand you and your lifestyle and tailors her programmes to match. The nutrition advice is also spot on. It's not like being at a bootcamp, more like having a cheerleader in your corner each time you go to the gym!

Working with Jay has been fab, she listened to everything I wanted in my initial consultation and built my programme to reflect that. I was able to achieve so many goals in 8 weeks and she gave me so much confidence in trying new things that I’d never done before. Thank you Jay! :)

If you're looking for someone to motivate you and get you feeling great about yourself, Jay is your woman! She is extremely knowledgeable and will work with you to design a programme that is personalised to you. She also gives nutrition advice that doesn't feel too restrictive. When I first started working with Jay, I was a complete novice and felt like an imposter in the gym. I was also feeling pretty unhappy with the way I looked... With Jay's help, 8 weeks later, I felt great! If you're thinking of starting with PT, I can't recommend Jay enough!

Everything was prefect but also had the fantastic and amazing trainer who would do anything to support your goals and I definitely have achieved something while working with Jay she's a great gym instructor to have.

My journey with Jay started in April and so far it’s been amazing. Jay has been brilliant in working with my needs and provides me with the help to meet my goals. Her detailed approach to my fitness programme and being able to adapt the plan quickly has exceeded my expectations. Jay is always available when needed, responds to messages quickly and is really good in making you feel motivated. I would say that I needed a personal trainer that is very patient, approachable and friendly and Jay is all of those and more. I’ve seen great progress in terms of weightloss, strength and general fitness. I look forward to every session with her, I can’t recommend Jay enough!

Jay's knowledge and guidance have been instrumental in my attempt to bulk up. Her tailored workouts and attention to detail have helped me achieve a level of muscle growth I never thought possible. If you've struggled with putting on muscle in the past and want a trainer who can make hard work feel like play, Jay is the one to go to!

Jay is a fantastic PT. I am so glad I started my weight loss and fitness journey with her. She is super encouraging and helps me achieve my goals in a supportive and motivating way. She regularly checks in to see how I’m getting on with fitness, nutrition and steps etc. I really enjoy our PT sessions and have loved consistently achieving new milestones and PBs each week. Jay is very knowledgable and I have learnt so much through this journey.

I’ve been training with Jay for about 8 months now and would highly recommend her as a personal trainer. Jay’s expertise in fitness and nutrition is truly impressive. Jay has worked with me on a personal tailored work out plan, whilst also educating me on nutrition around my personal goal.

Personally the workout plan has been thoroughly enjoyable for someone who had never used a gym. Not too hard, but always building on strengths and weaknesses. This has pushed me to reach new levels of strength and endurance within my capabilities.



Jay’s positive attitude and encouragement has motivated me to stay committed and challenge myself. In addition, Jay has provided valuable guidance on proper form and technique to prevent injuries. Through this I have seen significant improvements in my overall fitness and feel more confident in my abilities.



If you are looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable personal fitness trainer Jay is the perfect choice.

Enthusiastic, hardworking, and knowledgeable.


Jay is a wonderful PT, I initially contacted her as I was experiencing knee pain, over the first few weeks my knee pain got less and less until for the first time in around 4 years it was gone. Jay always gives me great tips to improve my technique, including exercises which I have never been able to do by myself, such as RDL. It turns out, one of the reasons for my sore knees was ‘lazy glutes’, which the RDL and Jay’s advice help to solve. Additionally, she gives interesting advice on other important aspects of training such as sleeping, resting, and eating right, which are often overlooked by coaches. I ask Jay many questions and she always finds a way to clearly explain complex information, so it seemed easy. There was only once where Jay didn’t already know the answer but due to her enthusiasm for fitness, her hardworking attitude and her pursuit of knowledge, Jay research my specific issue and got back to me with more information.
Excellent coach, 10/10 would recommend.

I trained with Jay from June 2022 - December 2022. Training with Jay transformed my mindset, and her unique style completely resonated with me, something which I keep with me today. I was most certainly challenged but never made to feel guilty or forced into doing something. During my time training, I saw my body transform and following a few health checks, I could see the results improving, inside and out! Fast forward to present day, I still advocate for weight training and hear Jay’s voice every time I enter any class or gym room, cheering me on! I’m engaging in classes and exercise I never thought I would be fit enough to do, and I am still maintaining a healthy diet whilst enjoying myself.



This would never have been possible without Jay and I count myself extremely lucky to have come across such an incredible trainer, who is also one of the loveliest, sweetest people you will ever meet. If there is a second of doubt about engaging with Jay or taking your training to the next step with a PT, this is your validation that it’s 100% the right thing to do. Also, your sessions will be the best part of your day, and an hour with Jay will leave you smiling and stronger. Thank you, Jay!

When I started with Jay, I completely lacked confidence at the gym. I didn’t dare to use any machines and was basically stuck to the treadmill. Jay completely understood my worries and walked with me every step of the way. She was so generous with her fitness knowledge and truly explained the intent behind everything on my program. I couldn’t have done this without her!

I have been so lucky to train with Jay since January. She is incredibly knowledgeable and professional and the routines that she develops, and adapts for you as you progress are so brilliantly done. I always come away feeling that I could not have pushed myself any further, but she always makes sure that you never go past a point where it is too much. I have reached goals that I never thought I would achieve, and everything is done with great conversations, massive attention to detail, careful observation and constant adaptation as needed. If she has a space just go for it, otherwise be patient on her waiting list, as I was, until the opportunity arises.

Jay is an amazing PT! I started with her because I wanted to get into the gym but I wasn't sure where to start or how to go about everything. She was really knowledgeable and friendly and always explained why we did everything, which in turn made me more confident in myself and my own abilities. I'd recommend her for anyone!

Joining the Jay Claire Fitness programme was one of the best decisions I have made. Having Jay as a mentor is so helpful as she understands what is best for you. The transformation that I have seen with myself is also a testament to Jay and the hard work and help she provides you. Losing 11kg in 3 months is a perfect example of the fitness programme and training methods Jay tailores for you works along with the expertise she has in providing you with nutrition advice and a personal plan that suits you is a massive benefit. So if you're thinking of joining a fitness programme, join Jay Claire Fitness.

I couldn’t recommend Jay more! I was a complete beginner to the gym, I had a bit of knowledge previously about nutrition but she really helped with both of these areas! I have anxiety so always found gym settings really daunting but working with Jay really helped build my confidence. I feel like I know what I’m doing now, especially with form and how the equipment works so this is something I’ll take with me going forward. There is also a lovely community she has created with other clients which was a nice bonus to have!

Jay is amazing! I have really enjoyed working with her and since April I have lost nearly 13kg and I feel fantastic!



She is very supportive, kind, easy to work with, and has been very accommodating of my schedule. She is also very knowledgeable with nutrition and exercise and has each sessions well planned out and organized using spreadsheets that she makes accessible to each client.



Sessions are never dull or dreadful, striking a perfect level of challenge that has pushed me hard and made great progress in my physical fitness across the board, but has never left me injured or in fear of the next session.



In addition, Jay hosts community chats including other clients where recipes are shared, fun outdoor events are planned, and general health topics are discussed.



Overall, I cannot recommend Jay enough!

She really has changed my life forever for better! Not only on how workout with and without machines, but she also taught me about how to build a healthy and nurturing lifestyle.



When I started working with her, I used to bring only cabbages with salt and pepper for lunch and dinner. If I go out for a meal, I would freak out because I didn’t know what was in those meals, and got scared of gaining weight. I sometimes even ordered water and sat there while my friends finish eating. I was working out watching YouTube video at home, at least 3 hours a day. I was a typical case of “underrating and overtraining”.
 Now, I pack my lunch with good amount of carbs, vegetables and a lot of protein. I go out to eat frequently, but can actually enjoy my meal, because I have idea of what’s in it, and how every single bit of that meal will nurture me and gives me energy to bring my best on the next morning’s workout session with Jay.



The purpose of working out with trainer, I think, can be focused only around looking better or getting stronger. I also had those goals and Jay really helped me achieve them. The weight I can life has grown by over twice for hip thrust, and almost three times for leg press. But what makes Jay so special is that she is really committed in the education on well being as well, checking in on whether I’m sleeping well, how was my daily meal looking like, and most importantly, whether I’m enjoying it.



I’m so happy that I have now very healthy relationship with food, and have good knowledge on how to workout inside and outside the gym. I can 100% recommend anyone to work with her, and I’d come to work with her again 1000% if I were to come back to Manchester in the future.

Jay is absolutely fantastic! She’s incredibly dedicated to her clients and understanding of what they want to achieve and why. She goes above and beyond in what she offers as a personal trainer. She connected me to her other clients so that there was a community of us to share tips and ask questions. She made sure I was well equipped with all the resources I needed not only to make the physical improvements I wanted but to create the lifestyle needed too. I was fully informed of why certain workouts worked better than others and our weekly check-ins were a great help! I have learnt so much in the time I was with her and enjoyed every minute. I have become a lot stronger, healthier and more confident since, so I can’t recommend her enough!

I worked with Jay for a 12 month period from September 2023-2024. I had a brilliant experience working with her. Over that period she gave me a new gym plan to follow 4 times so that I had time to become an expert in each plan and could get stuck into it, but then always mixed things up before I got bored. Her plans were always fun and aimed specifically at me and my needs and more importantly what I had told her I’d like to focus on. Her training goes beyond the gym and she helped me with my diet and sleep as well. She makes all her clients feel really comfortable and part of a bigger community and is always available for support/ advice. She it genuinely a fantastic PT and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a PT but especially to those who want to work on the bigger picture of their lifestyle also as I feel these would be the people who would get the most benefit from her coaching. I stopped working with Jay as my personal circumstances changed, I would love to work with her again in the future!!!

Training with Jay for a year was exceptional, she helped me in so many ways of course with my fitness, my health and tried to help me as much as she could with my diet without crossing any boundaries with my eating disorder. I honestly think without training with Jay I would have been struggling even more with my eating she helped me grasp a stronger mindset with eating by telling me how it helped my fitness and how it could help me reach my goals. She really helped me understand fitness and how to do things in the gym. Before meeting Jay I honestly didn’t have a clue what I was doing and couldn’t gather the motivation to get in the gym, but with her help it made it a lot easier to get myself into the gym and she made me feel a lot more better when doing exercises as she would walk me through and explain each one to me and make sure I’m doing it right. I wish I could’ve trained with her for longer but unfortunately I couldn’t. I hope I possibly can again in the future. Thank you so much Jay :)

Jay is genuinely such a lovely person. Her commitment to her work is so admirable and clearly shines through. She’s always good at responding to messages, giving personalised feedback, encouraging a community spirit with different social events and the WhatsApp group chats.


I have really enjoyed my time with her and am gutted that she’s going to a new centre but I know she’ll absolutely smash it. She is so supportive with all aspects - it’s not just a habit it’s an entire life change and she’s fully aware of the time it takes to implement long term change.


Would definitely recommend she’s been absolutely fab throughout and made the gruelling workouts worth it haha!

Having trained with Jay for half a year has resulted in a significant lifestyle change that I am very happy about!

I used to be very intimidated by the gym and felt overwhelmed by all the health information available on the internet. After joining her program, this problem dissipated as she taught me not only how to workout with good technique, but to understand how to think about nutrition, and focus on sleeping better. This holistic style of coaching is why I think Jay is really good. I found myself losing weight for the first time in a decade and have been building muscle and getting better sleep.

Her flexibility with adjusting to my busy schedule is something I greatly appreciate, and I always feel energized with her infectious enthusiasm in the gym. In addition, she also has a groupchat community that builds a sense of community for good health, and shares a wide range of recipes and discounts for nutrition, which I have used several times.

I am very happy with my time with her and can recommend her for anyone who wants to improve not just their workout performance, but overall health metrics too!

Jay is the absolute best PT - I can't recommend her highly enough! I have learned so much from training with her, achieved goals I never thought were possible and had so much fun too. I was already training consistently but I came to Jay wanting to work on muscle gain, strength, conditioning and fitness goals and tackle some exercises I'd always found challenging and would avoid when training by myself (like back squats & hip thrusts!) Jay has put so much thought and effort into designing personalised, varied, challenging, progressive, interesting programmes that are so well thought out and unique to me and my goals. She is so attentive, listens to you, takes the time to get to know you and what motivates you.

Whatever style of training/events/goals you're working towards, Jay has the skills, learning and passion to put together exceptional programmes with a variety of techniques/styles to get results. I've done a combination of functional training, strength training, plyo movements, cardio fitness, hybrid training and cross-training skills. I've got PBs in heavy compound lifts (deadlifts, squats), achieved running PBs, hit pull-up and push-up goals, gained new skills (e.g. cleans and presses) and become confident in new lifts that I never would have mastered without her teaching and support (e.g. front squats). She always explains the science behind her techniques, the muscle groups you're targeting and ways to optimise your training.

I feel so lucky to have been able to train with Jay - you can tell how much she loves what she does and she is always so positive and encouraging as well as being able to push you when you need it in order to get the results you want. She is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what she does both in terms of training and nutrition.
She takes a truly holistic approach to exercise, wellbeing and lifestyle and I think that sets her apart, along with her fantastic can-do attitude and encouragement.

Jay regularly checks-in, always greets you with energy and a big smile (no matter how early in the morning). She'll become your biggest cheerleader, help you measure and celebrate progress and keep you motivated to be the best you can be and working towards the next challenge. It's been a privilege to benefit from her coaching and I'd recommend her to anyone looking to take their training and performance to the next level. Thanks for everything Jay!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Jay for around a year. She is an incredible personal trainer and an excellent communicator who is professional, caring, sensible, and always striving to grow in both physical fitness and knowledge. She brings that same energy and dedication to her clients.
Jay is not just a trainer; she is a true partner in my journey. She walks alongside me every step of the way and witnesses my progress with genuine care and encouragement. Her approach goes beyond physical training. She pays attention to sleep, nutrition, and, most importantly, supports me in building a deep, lasting understanding of fitness so that I can become confident and independent in my own health journey.
She helped me not only transform my body but also reshape how I understand beauty and health. Jay is very well-organised and experienced, with a wide range of training strategies. At the same time, she is creative in designing workouts that suit your unique needs, rather than simply following standard equipment or routines.
I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone considering personal training.

Jay is Amazing!

I lost over 35 kilos in the year I worked with her and it completely changed my life! She is super encouraging, friendly, and enthusiastic and cares very deeply about each client, keeping diligent track of training goals/progress and writing very effective programs.

I greatly enjoyed each session I had with her, doing both in-person (mostly) and online when I was away. It never felt like a drag going to the gym or sticking to my diet because she kept things very fun, yet demanding at a perfect level where I saw considerable results, but have not felt overwhelmed. Her nutrition tips have also been crucial, helping me stick to eating habits that I enjoy and can maintain, but which have also greatly boosted my health and helped me reach my goals.

I also need to mention her incredible effort to create a sense of community, hosting group events or challenges every month, highlighting achievements in our client group chats, and sharing tons of helpful information. The community she fosters has been a great opportunity to meet other like-minded people and witness other inspiring health journeys.

Since making huge strides in my health (which I could not have done without Jay), my life has become considerably better in all conceivable aspects. I have way more self confidence, I can wear clothes that I want to wear (not just that fit me), I have gotten into hiking and I'm able to keep up with my fit friends, I have picked up a lot of more physical activities that I thought I would never be able to do, and my all around quality of life - in my ability to sleep well, to do daily tasks, and to be more social, have all become so much easier.

Working with Jay has been one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I cannot recommend her enough!

Working with Jay has been brilliant! My main motivation for starting resistance training was to help manage osteoarthritis and joint hypermobility syndrome. In addition, I had been struggling with plantar fasciitis and wanted to try a holistic approach that would help me recover and strengthen for the longer term. Jay took all these conditions into account in the programme’s design, and I am delighted to say that I have made a great recovery from plantar fasciitis and am now a confident gym-goer.

Jay is a bright, positive person and an absolute pleasure to work with. The community she facilitates as part of the package is a warm and encouraging space. As a highly skilled personal trainer, Jay received recognition as a finalist for the National Fitness Awards 2024.

I’ve had quite a few personal trainers over the last few years and Jay was undoubtedly the best I’ve had. She really went above and beyond, found out my strengths, what I enjoyed doing, areas I needed to improve and work on and we smashed it. Her attention to detail was second to none and there was a real person centred care approach to her work. Not only that she would check in during the week and in between sessions to ask how things were going, and most importantly for me give me a nudge. I really couldn’t recommend her enough. Class act!! Paddy McBurney.

I've been working with Jay for almost a year now and have seen a huge increase in my strength and fitness levels. She's amazing.

I was so nervous about starting in the gym and I put off signing up for a really long time, but Jay gave me the confidence I needed. I couldn't do a single push up before and now I'm lifting things I never thought I could. The impact on my fitness, body and mental health have been huge.

The best part is it's genuinely like training with a best friend, she's so supportive but also drives you to push yourself and work hard, plus we have a great natter between sets.

She also takes the time to explain the science behind everything you do and why she recommends it, which I really appreciate. Plus the added diet and sleep support were super helpful.

I would honestly recommend her to everyone - stop waiting. It's the best thing you'll ever do for yourself!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jay for the past 5 months. She came highly recommended by a good friend and after many months of putting it off I finally got in contact.

Coming into this I was in a really bad place, after years of crash diets and continually gaining weight I was apprehensive if this would ‘work.’ But, after our initial chat (2 hours, she really takes the time to get to know her clients) I was confident and comfortable in knowing that she would help me in whatever way necessary. Not only diet and exercise but, managing stress and sleep.

Fast forward 5 months I have the confidence to walk into a gym (on my own) and complete a workout without thinking ‘oh they’re looking at me.’ This is major for me, it was the one thing I never thought I would be able to do.

I’ve lost weight but, that’s no longer my priority instead its getting strong and smashing my goals. Again a mindset I never thought I would have, it amazes me and makes me proud.

Most importantly I have started ‘allowing’ friends and family to have/take pictures of me. Its makes me sad thinking about how many memories I may forget because I hated the way I looked and felt.

Jay is consistent. She is reliable, trustworthy, and supportive. She will help you build the tools you need in order to be you most confident self.

I won’t lie this journey will be tough at times but, I can safely say my only regret is that I didn’t start training with Jay sooner!

Choosing to train with Jay is a decision you won't look back on.

I first started training with Jay because my upcoming wedding. I wanted to look good and knew that I was not getting anywhere with the gym. The results were staggering, being commented on by many different people close to me. I have remained her client subsequent to this for the pure desire to keep growing my fitness goals and achievements. Jay has adapted to my needs throughout.

Her likable, friendly and understanding nature delivered training that reflected my needs. I have never missed a session by choice. We have always worked on what I needed, and what I wanted. The results are measurable and clear, and Jay will reflect the commitment you are able to give without demanding or judging you.

Jay is not only highly professional and deeply skilled but someone who cares about her clients and there goals. She will push you but more importantly make you want to be pushed.

I would recommend her to anyone who feels intimidated, nervous or that the gym is not for then. She will find ways that meet whatever needs you have physical or mental.

Her support and expertise should not be passed up.

As a woman going to the gym can be really intimidating but Jay put my mind at ease from the start. The personal plan she wrote for me covered everything from my sleep patterns to eating and my hatred of the gym, so that it was incredibly specific to my needs and goals.

I no longer hate the gym and look forward to going, as each work out session in my plan focused on what I wanted to achieve and tackled my worries to make exercise fun.

I was encouraged to give feedback on my plan as I went through it and it was altered as needed. for example I wasn't enjoying or completing a part of my plan that involved a treadmill so it was taken out and replaced, and when I flagged I was finding it difficult to get a specific pice of equipment at my gym, this was altered too.

Jay fit the plan around my busy schedule and she is the perfect PT for a women in a full time job with a busy social life - she ensured exercise fit into my day to day life seamlessly without it becoming a burden.

My confidence has shot up since working with Jay she is incredibly encouraging and keen to push you to the best you can be.

I loved my programme with her and can see the benefits every time I look in the mirror. Worth every penny!

I've trained with Jay for the past 6 months. In that time I've lost nearly 10kg while putting on muscle.
She's made me challenge myself and then surpass my own goals.
There's been no crazy diets, just rock solid advice and encouragement both in and out of the gym.
I'm 3 notches on my belt slimmer and have never felt better for it.
I can now do pull ups, deadlift 100kg and so much more that I never thought I'd be able to do.
She's a fantastic PT and I can't recommend her highly enough.

I couldn’t recommend Jay enough as a personal trainer! I started training with Jay in late January and my workout routine had really come to a halt: I was struggling to find enjoyment and establish a consistent routine. Training with Jay has changed this and I now feel so much more confident in the gym and in my self too. She takes times to ensure you are comfortable with each exercise, but pushes you too so you achieve more and consistently hit PBs. Jay is so friendly and encouraging, and goes above and beyond to support your healthy lifestyle beyond the gym too 🧡

I have been working with Jay for 4 months now and have had a great experience!

I previously hated the gym, couldn't stand to be there more than 20 minutes once a week, and was incredibly nervous and intimidated about taking up space there - however at the end of 4 months I can honestly say I look forward to my gym sessions, trying new things and pushing myself further.

Jay really helped encourage my confidence to walk into the weight section of the gym as a 5"2 woman and feel like I belonged there, which is a tricky thing to do.

Jay tailored my program around my busy schedule, including starting a new job and heading out with friends at the weekend and came up with a plan that worked for my lifestyle. She also listened to my concerns about lifting weights for the first time and took into consideration my past ski injuries in order for me to get the most out of my work out.

Something I was impressed by was the work and research Jay put into my medical conditions ahead of starting the program including things like sleep patterns. By going above and beyond in this way really showed me how personalised my plan was to me.

During sessions Jay listened to my feedback on what I found easy or difficult and tweaked my plan accordingly. She has always been keen to push me to achieve a NPB but never gave me anything she knew I wouldn't be able to achieve - I always felt I had a realistic goal to strive towards.

I have zero complaints about my PT experience with Jay and look forward to continuing my plan with her! She's truly a great trainer and I wouldnt hesitate recommending her to anyone who wants to up their fitness levels and strive towards a healthy lifestyle.

The only downside is I now have to buy new jeans as mine are too big!
