    About Carl Jones

    Online personal trainer

    I’m a personal training coach with over 7 years of experience. My fitness journey started at age 7, but it was my family's health challenges, like my father's heart issues and my sister’s struggles with PCOS, that inspired me to help others. I’m certified in various areas, including functional strength training, kettlebell training, Pre & Postnatal, and more. Here, you’ll find content empowering you to build strength, confidence, and lasting healthy habits.
