I HAVE Jon and Jo on week 11, close to the end of their Amazing 12 program, while yesterday Sue, Ross and Kari all began the April wave at Core Results in Chichester.

Each person’s journey through this program is unique, even for second-timers like Jon. It was a new experience for me, training someone on their own turf and without the space and equipment I am used to. There have been ups and downs with Jon and Jo, which is to be expected over the course of three months. What matters is how you tackle them.

While I always knew Jon would gain strength and power – as he did first time (a year ago) – I didn’t know what to expect from Jo as someone who hadn’t trained before. But she’s now like an energiser bunny. I can see how much stronger she has become as well.

For Ross, Kari and Sue on the first night, starting at 7.30pm, there was a touch of the unknown (I don’t give much away). In the early stages it’s important to think about form and get used to the tempo and movements. It can take time for all my pointers to sink in, but I know these three are going to get in a lot of practice in the weeks to come.
