I honestly can’t recommend Jo enough. She has completely changed the way I think about food and my body. Before working with her, I had no real understanding of meal planning or portion control, now I feel confident, organised, and actually enjoy eating well.

One of the biggest surprises for people is that I eat 6 times a day and have still been able to lose weight l! Thanks to Jo, I now understand how fuelling my body properly works, and the difference it makes to my energy, mood, and overall health

Jo is always there to help ,whether it’s sharing simple, practical recipes, giving advice on food swaps, or answering questions when I’m unsure. Nothing ever feels too hard or too confusing because she explains everything in a way that just makes sense.

Because of her guidance, I’ve completely changed my eating habits for the better. I’m more mindful, more balanced, and I truly understand how food affects my body now.

If you’re looking for someone who is supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares, Jo is amazing. I’m so grateful for everything she’s taught me!

After coming home from this morning's gym sess, I am feeling so incredibly grateful!!

I haven't been with Optibods for long, starting in December 2025, however after watching quietly in the wings (yes, slight stalker vibes in a good way if that's possible ) I finally got out of my own way and reached out to Jo to join up.

I saw a beautiful friend getting in and working hard on Jo's socials, and thought, YASSS!! This is worth a shot!

I'd been missing the vibe and community of my previous workout group that closed suddenly. I had tried other workout places over the years that had passed, but they weren't quite what I was trying to find. Perhaps I needed to try them so that I would know when the right one for me came on my radar.

Thank the stars for OptiBods - for Women !!

I feel incredibly spoilt actually, based on what I have experienced elsewhere, that I get to be lead by a personal trainer at each of my sessions!!!

This is a fantastic point of difference, and holy shite Jo knows her stuff!! My brain is full of the things I juggle for my family, work, study, my weekend business etc so it makes me feel extra grateful to be guided and reminded and nudged at my sessions, because I can totally surrender and rely wholeheartedly on Jo, to tell me what I need to be doing (could be some perimenopause memory challenges rolled in here too, I honestly think I may need a Jo at home to remind me why I walked down the hallway!)

Jo is a very clever, capable and caring Capricorn with a giant heart, so in my humble opinion this is her calling through and through!! Capricorn are natural leaders, and love to get shite done. They see all the reasons we need to be doing something before the rest of us They are logical, practical, and of course have already made that decision and are busy moving forward with the next part of the plan!

All of these amazing attributes I am so grateful for in Jo. She is all the things I need from a personal trainer and more, and I'm so glad to be part of this group xox

I joined Optibods with my wedding in mind , I wanted to lose weight and fit into ‘the dress’, but what I’ve gained along the way is so much more than I ever expected. I won’t lie, the thought of walking into a gym full of people completely freaked me out. My anxiety was through the roof, until I found Jo. From the moment I walked in, I just knew this place was different. It’s an all women’s space that genuinely supports women from all walks of life and you can feel that energy instantly. Jo is honestly incredible. She’s so real, so down to earth, and has been through more than most but she never gives up, and that strength flows into everything she’s created. She makes you feel safe, supported, and like you truly belong. And she explains everything in a way that just makes sense there’s no intimidation, no pressure. I used to think the number on the scales was everything, but wow, has that mindset changed. Through Jo’s coaching, I’ve learnt it’s about so much more — strength, confidence, mindset, and showing up for yourself. And the best part? I can be completely ME. Whether I’m having a full-blown dance party in the middle of the gym or showing up on a tough day when the negative thoughts creep in. Jo is always there, no judgement, just support. I’ve honestly never felt so safe, comfortable, and at home in a gym. I’m so grateful I found Jo and Optibods.
