About JT
I graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Sport and Exercise Science, combining academic knowledge with over a decade of practical experience in training and performance. For the past 10 years, resistance training has been a constant in my life, shaping not only my physical development but also my understanding of what it takes to achieve long-term, sustainable results.
Sport has always been a huge part of who I am. I competed in basketball for over 10 years and have also trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, boxing and mixed martial arts. These experiences have taught me the importance of discipline, resilience, adaptability and continuous improvement—qualities that continue to shape my approach to coaching today.
Away from training, I'm passionate about nutrition and cooking. I believe food should support performance while still being enjoyable and sustainable. My approach isn't built around restrictive diets, it's about helping people develop habits they can maintain for life.
Travelling has also played a significant role in shaping my perspective. Training with people from different countries, cultures and sporting backgrounds has reinforced one simple idea: no two people are the same. Every client has different goals, challenges and motivations, which is why every coaching programme I create is tailored to the individual.
My Coaching philosophy
At BuiltByJT, everything is built around one principle:
Performance first.
I believe that when you focus on improving performance, becoming stronger, moving better, increasing your fitness and building healthy habits the physique follows naturally. Rather than chasing quick fixes or short-term transformations, my coaching is designed to build capable, resilient and athletic individuals who perform better both inside and outside the gym.
By combining evidence-based training, practical nutrition guidance and ongoing accountability, I help clients lose fat, build muscle, improve their fitness and unlock their full athletic potential.
Whether you're taking your first steps into training or striving to reach the next level of performance, my goal is simple: provide the knowledge, the structure and the support you need to achieve lasting results and become the strongest, healthiest version of yourself.
