Testimonials
“I have known Jon in a professional capacity for five years during our time at Stevenage FC. He is far and
above the best professional I have had the opportunity to work with. Having sustained a number of serious
injuries, Jon has demonstrated remarkable dedication, work ethic, athleticism and attention to detail
allowing him to regain optimal levels of fitness time and time again. Jon is a fantastic individual and an
absolute pleasure to work with.”
Paul Dando BSc (Hons) Dip ST MSST - First Team Sports Therapist, Stevenage FC
“I have worked with Jon since 2007, when I inherited him, as his manager at Rushden and Diamonds FC. We
enjoyed great success together, and his signing by me at Stevenage FC led to a period of unprecedented and
sustained success there too. Jon is a highly disciplined, highly professional, focused and determined man.
When he puts his mind to a job, that job gets done to the highest standard with Jon’s sternest energy. I don’t
say any of that lightly.
Now that he is broadening his horizons and developing new skills, I have no doubt that those that work with
him in the field of Pilates will find that they have chosen to work with a leading practitioner, on the basis that
Jon does not do second best in my experience; if it needs doing, he goes all in.”
Graham Westley - First Team Manager, Stevenage FC
“Jon is someone I have known for seven years now. He is a great example of a winner both on and off the
football pitch and is a role model in being a good pro. He applies himself and gives 100% in everything he
does. I have seen his Pilates abilities grow over the years and they have enabled him to overcome obstacles
such as injuries and help others overcome theirs. I’m sure whatever he chooses to do after his playing career
will be a roaring success.”
Chris Day - Professional Football Player, Stevenage FC
“I have known Jon for a few years now since working with him at Stevenage FC. He is a great professional in
all aspects of wanting to improve and become the best he can be. He is a polite gentleman that will go out of
his way to help you. I’m looking forward to coming down and joining his Pilates classes.”
Luke Freeman - Professional Football Player, Bristol City FC
“It was an honour to play in the same team as Jon and when he was at my side he gave me the confidence
to be the very best I could be. I trust him implicitly and have the upmost respect for the dedication and
determination he possesses
His desire to improve away from the pitch has inspired me to develop all aspects of my game. He is a winner
to the core and has that rare ability to help others reach their full potential.”
