I started training with Jason in January of this year with the goal being to get fitter and stronger for an event I have in July. I have found all of my sessions hard and rewarding as I can see the improvement in myself with Jason’s coaching and attention to detail.
Jason is very knowledgeable in his position as a Personal Trainer and has given me a lot of guidance and advice on how to train better and has improved my technique in the exercises we do which has helped me to stay injury free.
He is easy to work with and explains everything very clearly. I will be continuing my journey over the next few months and would strongly recommend Jason for PT sessions. I have also received advice on nutrition and what is good to eat for my type of training.
I also receive regular updates on changes to my routine as I become fitter and stronger.
Carl Deane.

The lakes coach has helped me by mentoring me through my level 2 and level 3 PT. Jason was very helpful and taught me everything i needed to know. Communication was key and jason was always helping me to improve and ways which i could change the way i was doing things. Jason helped by teaching a lot of content which has been very helpful, jason presented himself in a lovely way very friendly and wanting to help.

Started with Jason on a 6 week course, I’ve lost body fat and gained muscle. Because of how pleased I am with the progress I have continued the personal training for another 6 week. Highly recommend Jason, he’s very friendly, helpful and will help you to achieve your goals!

My husband and I both knew  we needed to build muscle as we had reached our 50s and needed to change our fitness routines and the lack of them! I wasn’t really keen on weight lifting and enjoyed group classes but I knew this had to change. My husband wasn’t keen on the gym at all!! However, knowing that to ensure our health and future health we needed to do this, as our muscle mass was declining,  we decided to get a personal trainer and luckily we picked Jason. Unbelievably we both now feel completely differently about the gym - thanks to Jason and throughly enjoy the programmes Jason has devised for us. Jason pushes us and motivates us and we both feel so much better for embarking on this journey. We definitely couldn’t manage using the equipment properly or have done the right quantity of exercises without Jason’s advice and support. We bought 12 sessions each from Jason and go together and think it’s very good value. I can actually feel my muscles in my body now and am aware I’ve got them lol and I’m improving all the time. My husband has a lot of problems with his knee and Jason has been very clever at devising the programme to help him without aggravating this. The advise on nutrition is brilliant too. We thoroughly recommend working with Jason.

I started using Jason Hill, ( Lakes Coach-Health & Fitness Coach) in January 2023. I had previiously been at another gym in Carlisle, where it was supposed to be the best gym in the town, but at £250.00 per month ( an extra £250.00 for one to one who sometimes never turned up???)I didnt feel I was getting value for money. More often than not it was a one size fits all and eventually the time was reduced from one hour sessions  and gradually got shorter, on some occassions down as low as 40miniutes ( this included warm up time) Although this was pointed out to the owner of the gym , it was met with a beligerant attitude. The gym owner stated " Im the best in the town, anywhere else the PTs are just cookie cutter and F*^*ing useless!"
Sorry, but he was completely wrong.
Jason came highly recommened to me by a lady who had also been at the same gym and had used Jason as her mentor when she did her Personal fitness traing to become a coach.
However the great news is, since joining up and using Jason as my personal trainer, my results have improved dramatically. The most important thing Jason did, was Listen to what I felt I needed. He made detailed notes and put into place a great set of programmes to help me progress.
1. progression was steady and measured.
2.Jason is exceptionally easy to work with. full of encouragement without the need to F and blind at every twist and turn and none of this silly shouting, with his quiet manner he still got the best out of me.
I would highly recommend Jason to anyone who is looking to get fit, loose weight, tone up and build confidence. A great trainer, professional and friendly.
He is also very affordable.
Give hima call or contact him via Facebook, you wont regret it.
3.All the information he provided was exceptional, to the point of sending information by email, so that I could workout at home on days when I couldnt get to the gym., or use at the gym when working by myself..
4.He was extremlyl knowlegdable about physiology and nutrition..
5. Really easy to get along with and fair to say we had a few good laughs.
6. I always came away from each session feeling great, which always set me up for the day.
7. Value for money, absolutey, I used to book 12 sessions at a time and will continue to use Jason.I will continue to use him as my personal trainer with his on line course while he is away, but looking forward to linking up with him when he gets back.
8 Jason has helped me achieve my goals in more ways than one. I have fibromyalgia and some times it gets very painful, Jason took all this into account and ensured the routines were right for me, pushing but not to the point where it was going to aggrevate my body. he also helped with the right exercise when I took on the 100 press ups per day for each day in May in aid of motor neuron desease.
9. During my time with Jason I have lost a lot of body fat and gained muscle, this is down to his patients and advise on technique in using the equipment. My body shape has changed for the better and is noticed by other people at the gym who have all commented.
I would recommend Jason as a personal trainer, if you are prepared to put the work in, he is the right person to help and support you to achieve your goals. GREAT COACH.

I would highly recommend Jason as he is the best personal trainer I have ever worked with. In 5 months, I made excellent progress towards achieving my goals. I lost the weight I wanted to but, more importantly, my strength and fitness levels improved dramatically. I replaced a lot of body fat with muscle, and I am really happy with the changes in my physique, posture and overall wellbeing (and with the compliments I get from others…).

It is clear that Jason is very knowledgeable, but he applies his expertise in such a great way with outstanding motivational skills and support. In addition, where Jason adds real value is the all-round nutritional and wellbeing support that he provides for his clients. You receive a comprehensive package of supporting information that is both easy to read and easy to use!

As one of Jason’s older clients, I particularly appreciated the way that Jason still encouraged and motivated me to work as hard as any other client, while being careful not to cause injury, checking out reaction to previous workout, and taking care and time to do proper warmups and post workout stretches.

I shortly have to move away from Carlisle but, in different circumstances I would definitely have been rebooking sessions with Jason for the future. The all-round fitness, nutrition and wellbeing support that Jason offers stands him apart from other trainers I have worked with and means that he also offers excellent value for money.

I was gifted a series of 16 sessions with Jason over 8 weeks, on his shape up challenge. After a 2 month rest from the gym I was out of shape, and wanted to tone up and lose a bit of weight. I'd done lots of weight based exercises at another gym, but these sessions were a mixture of weight and cardio circuits, with a couple of boxercise sessions, which I found more enjoyable. Jason was great at giving technique advice to keep me safe and get the best from the exercises.  This also helped with my solo visits to the gym, giving me structure to my workouts. The sessions varied in content to keep it fun, and he listened to what we wanted to work on. He gave loads of support information via his website,  including nutrition advice which was very helpful. There was always advice at the end of each session, and helpful comments and encouragement. Overall I gained muscle mass and lost fat, changing shape over the 2 months. I recommend Jason as a personal trainer and coach if you like someone who is not loud and in your face, but confident, competent and personable. I'm going back for another course of 8 weeks starting next week. Can't wait!

My training sessions with Jason really helped me get started on my fitness journey. It initially seemed quite daunting but he really helped build my confidence through encouragement and gradually increasing exercise intensity. From my last check during my training, I actually attained my goal of reducing fat and gaining muscle and I feel so much stronger than I used to.

He is very focused and I believe his training would definitely be very useful for anyone who wants to commit to a fitness lifestyle.

Would highly recommend Jason, found him very easy to work with and friendly making me feel at ease and relaxed within a busy gym environment. He goes above and beyond to help you reach your personal goals, providing you with any workout plans needed or meal plans and a lot of other guides with lots more information when you’re away from the gym. Definitely good value for your money especially when booking in block sessions with him, and definitely made me a lot more confident and more motivated in and out of the gym. I definitely felt I was on the right track after a few weeks of training with Jason with muscle growth but more focusing on weight loss within our plan set, he will also cater to your needs and any injuries or soreness he will alter your session to avoid any further injuries occurring and change any exercises you may not particularly enjoy. He will get the best out of you, pushing you and ensuring your technique and form are correct. I would and will definitely rebook with Jason again in future if I ever find myself off track.

I have just finished an 8 week shape up challenge with Jason. Which was 2 nights a week for the 8 weeks, an hour each time. He did circuits, studio type classes and box fit. He would give us different options for each exercise and made sure our technique was correct. He also asked if there was any particular exercises or workouts we would like him to do.
He was on hand to talk through any nutrition queries we had.
The group was always a good laugh and very sweaty.
Jason is friendly and very easy to talk to. Would highly recommend him to anyone and the shape up challenge is a good price compared to other similar groups.
