About Jack Jones Personal Training, Brisbane

Simon Orton, Founder of Jack Jones Fitness & Personal Training, Brisbane

I am a big believer in functional-based exercise strategies and after more than 25 years in the industry both as a client and a trainer, I have created a studio were I can share this wealth of knowledge with my team of trainers and clients alike.  I continue to train daily and love olympic-style lifting, rope climbs, rock climbing, and kettle bell training all with a high intensity focus.

 

MY "GOOD HEALTH" PHILOSOPHY

• Food should be fresh, organic where viable, and definitely unprocessed - NO JUNK!

• If you leave it out on the bench and it doesn't spoil, then it has something in it you don't want to eat! 

• You need lots of essential fats, bucket loads of vegetables, clean organic protein and a good fish oil supplement

• Drink plenty of water

• Never ever ever drink soft drinks. No ifs or butts

• Get plenty of good quality sleep

• Take responsibility for your own health and the dietary and exercice choices you make

• Ask questions and investigate, just because the answer comes from someone with a piece of paper (qualification) does not means it's correct. You need to test and measure to see the results for your self.

• Take time for fun- don't take life too seriously, if shit happens, so what it's just part of the journey

• Do the right thing - what goes around comes around

• Daily activity, wether it's walking the dog, riding your bike or going to the gym, is an absolute must.  Just get off your arse and move, then keep moving

• Be curious, because you never stop learning!

• Be open to other people's views and ideas, because you just might learn something!
