Team JM: Personalised coaching with Jo
In order for me to work with you one-to-one, you MUST have had lifting experience in the gym, for a minimum of 6 months using regular programming. If you are a total beginner, you are advised to first work with a PT or gym instructor first in order to understand the fundamentals of weight training before commencing bodybuilding programming.
If you are an experienced lifter, book a "Next Step" $25 chat and we can discuss you progressing onto my bodybuilding and/or competition training or I can help you decide on which options on my website you can purchase for the stage you are at!
Plans for every stage in the competition journey:
I have bodybuilding programmes and nutrition suitable for all stages of experience.
Find what suits you best on my JM Journey page.

Johanna helped me go beyond anything I had ever achieved previously.
This was always going to be my last year of bodybuilding so I decided I needed the best coach so I could be in my best condition. It was an obvious choice, Johanna had just won “Coach of the Year” in 2018, so she was my first choice! Her programmes were spot on and every week I saw changes in my body. Read More >>

I won my class and my Pro card!!
Within 5 weeks of working with Johanna I competed in a show and won my class and the overall bikini title. 10 weeks later I competed again in a Pro/amateur show. I won my class and my Pro card!! What I love about Johanna is her programmes are custom designed to me and not run of the mill programs. Read More >>

Trust Johanna's Process - It Works!
After 4 years away from the bodybuilding arena and not regularly training, I had lost my way and found myself at my heaviest in over 13 years. Initially, I bought one of Jo's programmes to see how I liked it. I noticed changes in my body over the next two weeks. Perhaps I could do this! The weight started to move at about 5 weeks in. I trusted the process and did what I was asked to do. Read More >>
Team JM keeps us accountable.
I’ve been training with Jo since 2018 and have focussed on competing in the Sports Model Class. 2020 (and Covid Lockdowns) proved challenging for everyone, however I felt incredibly supported by Johanna and her TeamJM the entire time, with sufficient and creative home training programming, TeamJM challenges to keep us accountable and on track and TeamJM Zoom calls additional to our regular one to one coaching calls.
