Not just a fantastic PT but a genuinely nice guy!

Cannot recommend James highly enough! Such a genuine down to earth guy who goes out of his way to genuinely check-in on you on a personal level not just for the programme.

As a dad of two i let myself go and got the typical “Dad bod” and ultimately gave up looking after myself, always making excuses, but hated the way my clothes fitted (or didn’t) and hated my reflection in the mirror.
It was when I looked back at holiday photos from my brothers wedding in Italy I knew it was time to sort my life out.

James not only help me achieve this with only 4hrs/week in the gym but he’s got me in the best shape I’ve ever been in. At 34 and being a few years ago to Never do any load baring exercises or running due to early signs of osteoarthritis in the knees I thought i wasn’t going to be able to do many of the leg workouts.
However things where James tailored the plan specifically to help build on this, fast forward, I now have minimal if non pain in the knees AND I’m able to do any leg exercises with weights and also Running 🙌🏼

If you were in the fence and reading this. It’s your sign to invest in yourself! Time is now. Hot James up, you will not be disappointed!

Hi Dean,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. It genuinely means a lot.

You’ve done an incredible job over the past months. As a busy dad of two, juggling family, work and everything else life throws at you, the consistency you’ve shown with just a few hours in the gym each week has been outstanding. Results like yours don’t happen by accident, they come from turning up and doing the work, and you’ve done exactly that.

I’m especially pleased with the progress you’ve made with your knees. When we first started and you mentioned the early osteoarthritis, the priority was always to build strength safely and progressively so you could train pain-free again. Seeing you now able to perform leg exercises and even run again with little to no discomfort is a huge win.

Most importantly, you made the decision to take control again, and you followed through.

Thanks again for trusting me with the process and for the kind words. I’m proud of the work you’ve put in and excited to see what you continue to achieve.

Life-changing results! Reversed my diabetes and transformed my health at 49.

I came to James when I was in a really tough place with my health. At 43, I was clinically obese at 93kg and dealing with a terrifying list of conditions: a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis, severe sleep apnoea, high blood pressure, and osteoarthritis. I was carrying around a lot of extra weight, but also a lot of fear about my declining health.
Working with James completely turned my life around, and I honestly can't believe how easy he made the process. As a busy dad and director, I didn't have time for unrealistic routines. James is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive; he didn't give me any fad diets or brutal, punishing workouts. Instead, he provided a simple, structured training plan focused on progressive strength work and realistic nutrition that I could actually stick to consistently.
Fast forward to today at 49, the results are incredible. I’ve dropped 15kg (down to 78kg). I have 'reversed' my Type 2 diabetes, my sleep apnoea is entirely gone, my blood pressure is back to normal, and my knees are pain-free. I have built the strongest body I've had in decades and feel healthier now than I did at 30.
If you are over 35 and think it's "too late" to make a change, working with James will prove you wrong. I couldn't recommend Ronanonlinecoaching highly enough!

Hi Craig,

Thank you for such an incredible review. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

When we first started working together, you had a lot on your plate health-wise, and I know it wasn’t easy facing those challenges. What you’ve achieved since then is nothing short of remarkable. Losing 15kg is a huge accomplishment, but more importantly, the impact it’s had on your health and quality of life is what really matters.

Improving your Type 2 diabetes, eliminating the sleep apnoea, normalising your blood pressure, and getting your knees pain-free again is an incredible turnaround. But the biggest reason that happened is your consistency. You committed to the process, stuck to the structure, and kept showing up week after week, even with the demands of work and family life.

I’m a big believer that the right plan should fit your life, not take it over. You proved that with a few structured workouts each week, sensible nutrition, and consistent habits, it’s absolutely possible to transform your health at any age.

I’m incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved and grateful you trusted me to guide you through it.

Not just another online PT!

James isn’t just a PT, he doesn’t see you as just another client. He really cares about you as a person and invests the time in not just tailoring a program that works for you but also checks in to make sure you are doing well. Honestly sometimes feels like a therapy session after chatting but in the best way. He’s been incredibly supportive and I cannot speak highly enough! Thanks for all you do!

Hi Sami,

Thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave this review.

From day one, my goal has always been to help people as individuals, not just hand out a training plan and disappear. Everyone’s life, pressures and challenges are different, so understanding the person behind the goal is a big part of helping someone succeed long term.

You’ve done an incredible job applying the plan and staying consistent, even when it's been very challenging for you, and it’s been great seeing your progress along the way. Those conversations we have are all part of the process. Sometimes, people need guidance with training and nutrition, and sometimes they just need someone in their corner helping them stay focused and moving forward.

I’m really proud of the work you’ve put in and grateful for the trust you’ve placed in me.

Hi Kate,

Thank you so much for the lovely review. I really appreciate you taking the time to write it.

You’ve done an incredible job balancing everything as a single mum, and still make time to prioritise your health. That’s not always easy, and the progress you’ve made is a direct result of your consistency and commitment.

I’m always a big believer that training and nutrition should fit around your life, not compete with it. You’ve applied the plan brilliantly, kept showing up even when things are busy, and that’s exactly why you’re seeing such great results.

I’m really proud of the progress you’ve made so far and grateful for the trust you’ve placed in me.

Female & In My Fifties

I recently completed a transformative six-month coaching program with James - Ronan Online Coaching, and I'm thrilled with the results. As a 55-year-old woman, I needed guidance tailored to my unique health issues and lifestyle, and this program delivered exceptionally well.
From the outset, James was highly accessible and flexible with scheduling, ensuring that my sessions seamlessly fit into my busy life. His expertise was evident in every interaction, providing me with the tools and strategies to achieve my goals.
A standout aspect of this coaching was James's in-depth knowledge of nutrition. His adaptable approach to eating made a significant difference, allowing me to incorporate healthy habits that suited my lifestyle. He responded to my feedback and adjusted my program as needed, keeping me motivated and on track.

Overall, I highly recommend James - Ronan Online Coaching to anyone seeking a supportive and effective coaching experience. The personalized attention, professional guidance, and nutritional insights have made a substantial impact on my life.

Hi Emma,

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience after the last six months.

It’s been a pleasure working with you. From the beginning, the goal was to build something that worked around your health considerations, lifestyle and schedule rather than trying to force you into a rigid plan. You applied everything brilliantly, stayed open to the process, and that’s exactly why you’ve seen such meaningful progress.

I’m especially pleased that the nutrition side helped you build habits that actually felt sustainable. There’s no value in extreme approaches that only work for a few weeks. The real win is when someone can develop a way of eating and training that fits their life long term, and you did a fantastic job implementing that and giving honest feedback so we could keep refining things along the way.

Thank you again for your trust throughout the program and for the kind recommendation. It’s been great to see the confidence and momentum you’ve built, and I’m excited to see you continue building on everything you’ve achieved.

Would definitely recommend

James has been my coach for several years (in the UK, and after I moved to Australia).

His evidence-based approaches to both training and nutrition; together with an approachable style have helped me, incrementally and sustainably, make better more healthy decisions with food and training.

I would not hesitate to recommend him if you’re thinking of improving your health - for a first timer or a serious athlete!

Daniel, you absolute gent! I really appreciate the kind words.

Hard to believe we’re coming up on nearly a decade of working together now, from the UK to Australia!

You’ve done a brilliant job over the years sticking to the basics and applying things consistently, especially with your demanding work travel. That’s exactly how long-term progress is made, and you’re a great example of that.

Thanks again for the trust over the years and for the recommendation, it genuinely means a lot.

Motivating and effective - with James, you’ll get it done

James was fantastic. He adapted my programme based on goals, energy levels, and injury, ensuring that I made sustainable progress.

He was also there as a constant cheerleader! It kept me motivated, even when I struggled with performance. He’s also built a great community, where people cheer each other on and share ideas.

I really rate James and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get on top of their health and fitness goals.

Hi Jon,

Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave this.

You did a great job throughout the process, adapting when needed, working around the injury, and still staying consistent with the training. That’s exactly how sustainable progress is made.

I’m really pleased you enjoyed the community side as well. Having people around you who are on the same journey makes a huge difference.

Thanks again for the recommendation, and well done for all the work you put in.

I can’t recommend James highly enough

I can’t recommend James highly enough. Working with him as my online PT has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and fitness. From day one, he took the time to understand my goals, lifestyle, and starting point, and created a plan that felt realistic, structured, and completely tailored to me and furthermore, he breaks everything down to my level of understanding when we walk through it.

His communication is excellent — he’s always quick to respond, checks in regularly, and genuinely cares about your progress and you can tell your progress is what drives him too. The workouts are challenging but achievable, and he explains everything clearly so you always feel confident in what you’re doing. He also keeps things varied and interesting, which has kept me consistent and motivated.

What really sets James apart is his support and accountability. On days when motivation dips, he knows exactly how to keep you focused without pressure — just encouragement and smart adjustments when needed, particularly around my travelling for work.

James is 100% worth investing in.

If your a Dad ready for change - Read this 👊🏻

I couldn’t recommend James more highly! He is incredibly supportive, motivating, and genuinely cares about your progress. He’s always available to answer questions, adjust plans when needed, and keep you accountable.

I truly believe all dads can make the change they’ve longed for — most just lack the final ingredients to get started: knowledge and confidence. James provides those ingredients. That means all you need to bring is the motivation and commitment, and the results speak for themselves.

Since working with him, I’ve felt stronger, more confident, and much more consistent. If you’re looking for an online coach who truly invests in your success, James is the one!
