Jon Reynolds PT and Running Coach

A 45 minute outdoor group fitness class in Millfields Park, on Friday mornings, before work. Your first session is free so you can try it with nothing to lose. The class is built around how you move. Strength, mobility and conditioning work that you can actually use, scaled to whoever turns up on the day, so a complete beginner and a regular runner can train side by side in the same session. No shouting, no burpees for the sake of it, no leaderboard. It is coached by Jon Reynolds, a Level 3 Personal Trainer and specialist Running Coach with 17 years of experience. Jon is also a former British Army Paratrooper and Captain. Don't let that put you off. It speaks to the standard he holds himself to as a coach, not how he runs a session. Everyone is welcome here, whatever your level, shape, age or background. We meet at the tennis courts in Millfields Park. Bring water and wear something you don't mind getting damp on the grass.

Jon Reynolds PT and Running Coach

A weekly coached run club in Lower Clapton for every pace and every level, from people who have never run before to runners chasing a personal best. Every week follows the same three parts. A warm up and mobility everyone can do, then running drills and skills to work on your form and efficiency, then a group run at your own pace. Distances are 0 to 5k with an optional extra loop if you want more. Nobody is left behind and everyone finishes together. Sessions are coached by Jon Reynolds, a Level 3 Personal Trainer and specialist Running Coach with 17 years of experience. Jon's specialism is biomechanics, so you get coaching on how you actually move while you run, rather than just being told to run more. We meet at the large tables outside The Princess of Wales pub on Lea Bridge Road, and plenty of the group stay for a drink afterwards.
