Kieron Franklin

Personal Trainer

I am passionate about helping stroke survivors lead a more independent life through stroke rehabilitation. I instruct many clients in stroke rehabilitation techniques to challenge and beat their limitations and expectations.

During my time in the British Army I became fascinated about how our bodies quickly adapted to training, becoming stronger and fitter each day. Before then I would never have thought of being able to run for as long or as fast as I found I could.

On leaving the Army I wanted to find out more. Through trial and error; sometimes big errors; I researched the science behind training which gave me an advantage. Understanding not only how the body works but why it works and responds in the way it does. I achieved the results I wanted over a journey of many years. I increased muscle mass, shredded body fat and became more resilient at cardio-vascular training.

I narrowed my focus into further in-depth training to use physical rehabilitation techniques to improve the lives of Stroke Survivors. I am proud to have helped so many people live a more independent life and to have been part of the reason why my clients are fitter and happier.

Now I can pass this knowledge and experience on to you and help you to change your body into what you want it to be, overcoming your limitations, having fun, driving you forward and with you every step of the way.

Julie Henderson

Specialist

Hi, I'm Julie Henderson, known to friends as Jules.

Having worked within the Financial Services Sector for 23 years in roles such as Administration and Personal Assistant, I had provided high level of general admin services and secretarial assistance to individuals, Operations Managers and Directors. With a proven record of accomplishment, building positive relationships with stakeholders, clients and colleagues.

I had received rewards and recognitions for my involvement in projects such as change in business structure mergers, and charity work. Helping local charities such as the Young Enterprise Program, Refuge for woman and children, Adult Day Care Centre, Victoria Education school, local food bank, and many more. One overwhelming and nervous experience I have encountered was meeting HRH Princess Royal :).

My personal values are Respect, Loyalty, Honesty and Integrity.

Leisure time I like to spend with my good friends enjoying the outdoors in walks, hiking and festivals, and general social gatherings enjoying a tipple or two of vinos. I also like to be creative in craft projects such as upcycling of unwanted products and materials, sewing and home interior design. Often being told I should go into business ;).

Reference that saying "Don’t ask - don't get".... well it worked for me.... Sunday 17th April 2022 I joined a good friend on a walk over Canford Heath. This incredible lady who currently is in training to participate in Mountember 2022 climbing Pen y Fan in Wales. Totally surprised by her growth in stamina and her attitude to completing the walk and having the opportunity to meet other walkers who have experienced life changing issues and the organisation providing rehabilitation, training etc. has inspired me I to get involved...

Janice Rowley

Personal Trainer

Throughout my childhood into my teenage years I was a sport fanatic, nearly every day I was keeping fit and keeping to my ideal weight. Unfortunately, due to work and other circumstances my fitness regime slipped and eventually became non-existent. And over the next 30 years I found myself feeling increasingly lazy and overweight (15½ stone) and for a time I didn’t worry about it or care.

In 2017 after recovering from DVT (blood clots) I realised I needed to do something otherwise I was heading for disaster.

I began as a client of JK House Training Centre, I was challenged to take back control of my life …And I did. With determination and discipline I am now 4 stone lighter (25 kilos), much fitter and taking on new challenges, including climbing mountain peaks.

I feel so much more confident and looking forward to pushing my limits to complete more challenges. My lifestyle change had inspired me so much that I am now a Fitness Coach myself.

I want my story to inspire others to make the decision to take control for themselves and take that step to become fitter and healthier. It is never too late, if I can do it, then you certainly can!
