Jonny Rees

Enthusiasm, passion, commitment, intelligence, and empathy.  These are all the key qualities that separate a great Personal Trainer from an also-ran.  They the qualities that typify Jonny Rees, and only a few minutes in his presence are enough for even the most jaded to appreciate this.  He has an energy and vigour that are infectious and highly positive, even on the most challenging of exercise days!
Being a Personal Trainer was a conscious professional choice of Jonny’s.  Indeed, it wouldn’t be too grandiose to say that he followed his dreams.  Certainly he bucked the trend, and family’s wishes, by pursuing his lifelong passion of fitness and helping others to better health and wellness, instead of his “planned” career path as a lawyer.  Jonny actually has a Masters degree in Law, but this time spent in academia was more about giving him a firm analytical grounding than preparing him for his future professional life.  As a junior national rugby player (for his native Wales) he always gravitated more to the Strength & Conditioning side of things, and this has carried over into all his work of the last few years both as a Personal Trainer, and as a student of all aspects of physical performance.  In keeping with the UP ethos, Jonny is BioSignature Modulation trained and a PICP graduate.
Jonny is certainly one of the new breed of personal trainers that is so exemplified by the team at Ultimate Performance.  He is not a fitness trainer, or doing this as an easy way to spend more time in the gym.  This is his chosen career and despite his easygoing presence, he is totally serious and focused to prove himself as one of the very best in the business.

A Few Words From Nick Mitchell:

“In a world where so many people think it is cool and edgy to be a little jaded and cynical, Jonny Rees is a breath of fresh air.  His enthusiasm and commitment to his career and his clients is totally invigorating, and the energy that he brings to everything that he does makes him a real pleasure to be around.  But mark my words, beneath that effervescent exterior is no naive puppy, and Jonny is fantatsic at bringing his considerable intellect to the fore when it comes to working with his clients and helping them to overcome the obstancles to physical success that hit each and everyone of us.”
