Enquire about this classFootball coaching
Alongside my fitness coaching, I coach a children's football team. Creating the right environment matters as much as the coaching itself — children learn best when they feel safe, encouraged and free to enjoy the game.
I coach a children's football team and hold Level 1 coaching badges — with 28 years' experience playing football myself.
My DBS check and safeguarding arrangements are current, so parents can have full confidence.
A safe, supportive environment where children develop skills, confidence, teamwork and a genuine love of sport.
My coaching philosophy
I've trained and competed across different sports, worked with professional athletes and spent over 13 years coaching people with different abilities and goals. Here's what that taught me: most people aren't professional athletes — and they don't need to train like them.
You need a programme that works around your job, your family, your lifestyle and your starting point. My coaching is challenging, supportive, sociable and adaptable. I want you to feel comfortable, enjoy your sessions and leave every one feeling like you've achieved something.
"YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AN ATHLETE TO TRAIN LIKE YOU MATTER."
Testimonials & results
8 weeks ago, I'd never even put a pair of boxing gloves on! With 1:1 coaching from GYMBAM, I went from a complete beginner to stepping into the ring for my first charity boxing match… and came away with a win! The support and coaching were brilliant, but the biggest thing for me was the sense of pride I felt in myself. To look back at where I started and see what I'd achieved in just 8 weeks was an incredible feeling. I never thought I'd be able to do something like this, and I'm so glad I gave it a go!
I'd tried other PTs before and failed more times than I can count. Training with GYMBAM was different — straight-talking, no BS, just realistic advice, hard work and accountability. I've now lost 11 stone, but the biggest change has been my mindset and self-belief. I finally believe in myself again. GYMBAM didn't just change my body — it changed how I see myself and what I know I'm capable of.
We honestly can't praise GYMBAM enough! Our child absolutely loves the kids' classes and looks forward to them every week. Jimmy has become such a positive role model, and the respect and admiration our child has for him is lovely to see. We've also noticed a huge improvement in behaviour, confidence and listening at home. And the best part? They sleep like a log after a GYMBAM session! We couldn't recommend Jimmy and GYMBAM enough!
