About Barnaby
For over 15 years I competed at a high level across multiple sports — national athletics, county cricket, an academy and semi-pro rugby, and triathlon. Sport gave me more than fitness — it gave me structure, purpose, and a real sense of meaning. Pushing my body, learning new skills, and constantly developing has been one of the great joys of my life.
As an adult, that structure often disappears. No team, no season, no competition to build towards — and a lot of people end up feeling flat, disconnected from a part of themselves that used to feel alive. I want to help people find that again.
Three years ago I turned my athletic background into coaching, and I've been working as a personal trainer ever since. My approach isn't gym-standard — it's built on what actually makes an athlete: strength and power, mobility, endurance, and a body that performs as well as it looks.
Training with me isn't about being just bulky or skinny. It's about feeling capable, strong, and genuinely athletic — whatever your starting point.
Whether you're picking up a new sport, coming back after time away, training for an event, or just want that sense of purpose and structure back in your life, I'll build a programme around real performance, not just aesthetics.

All languages in which the lesson is available :

Every session starts with a free 30-minute consultation, in person or online, so your programme — short or long-term — is built entirely around your goals.
We cover the fundamentals of athletic performance: strength and power, mobility, threshold fitness, and endurance, layered into an athletic body transformation. The goal is to make you feel capable, powerful, and genuinely athletic.
Each session is focused and structured, backed by mobility work you can do in your own time, complimentary diet support, and performance tracking so you can see real progress, not just guess at it.
Whether you're getting into a sport, returning after time out, or training towards a specific event, this approach gives you a real athletic edge.

I came across Barnaby on the Jimbox app and chose him simply because his profile immediately stood out to me. He has such a positive, confident and genuinely uplifting presence that, even from a first impression, you get a sense of the person behind it.
I can honestly say I was incredibly lucky with my choice. Barnaby is exceptionally well-mannered, polite, friendly, disciplined, organised, punctual and genuinely one of those rare people who leave a lasting impression. He is distinctive in every sense of the word.
As for the training itself — he completely transformed my body. At 45, he got me into such incredible shape that I felt as though he had put me through a pencil sharpener! He is, without question, an absolute professional and takes enormous pride in what he does.
The world would be a much nicer place if there were more people like Barnaby in it.
I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone. What makes Barnaby exceptional is that his qualities go far beyond being a great personal trainer. He is extremely well-read, highly educated and genuinely interesting to talk to. You can have a conversation with him about almost any subject, and he always has something thoughtful and interesting to contribute.
To be completely clear, Barnaby is not someone I have any personal relationship with — he was simply my trainer, and hopefully will be again in the future. I have nothing but genuine respect for him, and I sincerely wish him every happiness with his beautiful partner.
If you choose Barnaby, I truly believe you will feel that you've made a very fortunate choice. People with this combination of professionalism, kindness, discipline, intelligence and character are incredibly rare these days.
Wishing you every success, Barnaby. You are truly one of a kind, and I hope you continue to achieve everything you deserve.Barnaby has been my personal trainer and coach for about over 2 years now. There is a reason I stick with him, and that is because of results and doing things the right way, which means even better results. I have trained prior to him for about 2 to 3 years. The results I gained training with him vs just myself are very clear.
Barnaby provides a structured program that has helped me achieve my goals of becoming leaner and gaining muscle at the same time. He has identified weaknesses within my own lifting that I did not notice and have devised solutions that have clearly helped address those needs allowing me to be stronger and build more muscle.
Barnaby has also provided nutrition advice and ways I could use that towards my own goals.
He has been incredible and I highly recommend Barnaby if you want to achieve your results efficiently and effectively so you dont have to waste time at the gym experimenting different methods to find the best way to generate results.I loved training with Barnaby, he’s really motivational, pushes the right amount and is makes working out fun and I saw and felt improvement really quickly. I’d never considered having a PT before but would recommend him to everyone, whatever your stage of fitness and ability. He’s also delightful company. Do yourself a favour and train with him. Money and time well spent.
Barney was my PT whilst at GymBox and he was incredibly informative, helpful, and overall a really friendly guy too!
I highly recommend Barnaby for personal training. He’s knowledgeable, motivating and knows exactly how to push you beyond what you think you can do without making the experience miserable!
Every session is well planned, challenging and tailored to your goals and abilities. He pays close attention to technique and form while somehow managing to keep things positive and enjoyable even when your muscles are questioning all of your life choices.
If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about your progress, keeps you accountable and makes you want to come back for the next session, Barnaby is definitely your guy.Barnaby is an excellent PT and coach. I had him for about a year before I moved away and found that my training improved in many ways. He was concise and patient with his instruction and made sure that my form was always on point.
He is approachable and he is able to explain things in an understandable and easy format.
My squats were particularly bad when I started training with him but through his keen eye for detail and coaching my form improved as did the amount of weight I was alone to squat.
I really enjoyed training with Barnaby as he is friendly and has a good sense of humour. I would highly recommend him for any PT or coaching needs.
Barnaby is a great PT at the gym and a tennis instructor. I work out with him, and he is also teaching tennis to my son.
