Hi! I’m JP, Sport Performance Coach and current Master Coach at CrossFit Shapesmiths, with 23 years of experience in the fitness industry working with all types of clients, including athletes, pre- and post-natal, and people with disabilities.
I come from a football background; I played and coached back home in Jersey, then retired at 29 to focus on coaching academy football. I started CrossFit in 2013 and joined CrossFit Shapesmiths in 2018.
In my classes, you can expect great energy and fun, but when the work starts, we get serious. I want everyone to feel they come away with one thing they have improved in. I combine physical and mental training to help you leave fulfilled and closer to achieving your fitness goals.
This year I’ve been involved with a lot of charity challenges, fundraising for Teens Unite Fighting Cancer, 200km Erg Tests, 80km Ultras and joining the Battle Cancer London Team. In 2026, I’m looking forward to More Life Adventures retreats, meeting new people, early sunrises and sea swims!
“How you do anything is how you do everything!”
