Jordan has been working with my mum as her personal trainer for just four weeks, and I honestly cannot believe the difference we’ve seen already.

Mum suffered a stroke a few years ago and has been left with significant mobility challenges ever since. Over the years, we’ve tried different approaches to help improve her mobility, so to see the progress she’s making with Jordan in such a short space of time has been really encouraging. One of the biggest improvements has been the significant reduction in swelling in her feet and lower legs, something she’s struggled with for years.

Although there’s still some swelling, the difference is incredible, and she’s now regaining movement that hasn’t been possible for around four years. Her affected arm has also been incredibly stiff and tender since the stroke, but with Jordan’s focused and patient approach, it’s now much more relaxed and easier to move. We’re even beginning to see small, independent movements without prompting, which is a huge step forward. And then there’s her confidence! Previously, helping Mum stand meant me doing most of the heavy lifting. She’s now managing sit-to-stand movements herself during her sessions with Jordan. Seeing her realise she can actually do it, and having the confidence to try, has been just as important as the physical improvements.

What really stands out about Jordan is how genuinely invested he is in helping Mum. He’s patient, kind, incredibly encouraging and so easy to get along with. He understands her limitations but doesn’t automatically assume she can’t do something because of them. He knows when to challenge her, when to ease off and how to make her feel comfortable throughout. Mum really enjoys her sessions and looks forward to seeing him, which is lovely. What I’ve also really appreciated is that his commitment doesn’t stop when the session ends. He takes time out of his own day to research equipment and devices that might help Mum improve her mobility and independence. We’ve already tried some of his recommendations, and they’ve been great. It’s that extra thought and effort that makes such a difference. We’ve had experience with various physiotherapists over the years, and I can honestly say Jordan’s approach has been very different.

He’s not someone who simply turns up, goes through the motions and leaves. He takes a genuine interest in Mum, puts real thought into what might help her and is clearly committed to getting the best possible outcome for her. For anyone considering a personal trainer for themselves or a loved one, particularly someone with more complex mobility needs, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jordan.

We’re only four weeks in, and there’s still plenty of work ahead, but I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing what else Mum can achieve with his support. Thank you, Jordan, for all the effort you’ve put in so far. It’s made a real difference, and we’re very grateful!
