Here are some comments/feedbacks from clients … More to be shared … sorry I did not update this page yet…
“Great experience - I recommend
Back in May 2016 I contacted Jimmy to help me with a marathon training plan and a nutrition assessment. He helped me to clarify my goals and put in place a clear training schedule and a sport diet. I learnt pre and post stretching exercises and what food can help to support my training plan.
I recommend "Vivere Fortis"....on 30th Oct 2016 I ran Dublin's marathon in 3:37' (my Personal Best). Thank you Jimmy.”
- Sylvain. B - Kingston Upon Thames“I really enjoyed our sessions together, the confidence that I have gained has amazed me and the way I feel in terms of strength and physical shape is also better than I had imagined. My understanding of my food intake and how that relates to my exercise levels means I can enjoy more food with confidence again and feel I am eating the right things at the right time to build my weight back up in a healthy way.”

“I strongly recommend Jimmy for his professionalism.
He has been able to identify the methodology to help my player who today is a serious tennis player who can think of embracing a professional tennis career.”
- F. Mary, Master of Tennis (Former Professional Player)
A GREAT EXPERIENCE - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I got in contact with Jimmy because of some stubborn weight I was carrying after going through IVF. He immediately put me at ease when I was discussing my challenges with him and started making a plan and outlining what I could look into and what he can help me with. Jimmy is great to talk to and a nice person but is also very knowledgeable in the field of nutrition. I considered myself pretty informed in the subject but still learnt a massive amount of new information during our sessions. I'm still applying the knowledge I gained every day, drinking enough water being my easy win. If you're looking for somebody who's an expert but will also flex to the way that you want to approach your nutrition, Jimmy is the person for you.- Ewa D.
