I went through a 12 month programme with Jim Thorp - my goal was to start playing golf again after a serious back problem. The initial consultation was quite lengthy, with the aim of getting me to understand what my real goals and motivations were and what aspects of my lifestyle was getting in the way.
Then we got to work - Jim was very thorough in focusing on the work I needed to do (including of course the precise exercises and drills) to repair my body and get my mindset right.
The programme finished around 2 years ago but I have been continuing to do the exercised that Jim taught me, and to eat, sleep and relax properly.
Happily, I can say that I am probably in the best shape of my life and am regularly playing golf without any problem with my back. I have played 27 holes in a day quite comfortably and also played full rounds on successive days with no problems. My increased strength and fitness is of course helping with other asects of my life - I am well happy!
My advice to anyone is that we must learn to understand our body in order to get the most out of life - and not be afraid to invest time and money in doing so. After all, we only have one body which has to last our whole life and the better we understand it and look after it, the more we will be able to achieve.
I would thoroughly recommend Jim; his understanding of the human physiology is terrific and his ability to get to the root of the problem is uncanny.
Don't let aches and pains get in the way of achieving your goals - most conditions can be cured or overcome with the right help and motivation.

I first went to JT Ethos to get help with persistent back problems which have resulted in 3 operations and fairly intrusive surgery. After only a couple of months of starting with Jim and his team I was fitter and lighter than I had been in a long time. The programs are structured in such as way that you are motivated and excited to follow them, rather than them feeling like a chore. After a year of following a personalised program which gets reviewed and tweaked frequently I felt confident I had all the necessary tools to combat my back issues, I had learned what works and what doesn't. Through combining stretch, diet and strengthening programs I not only had the ability to manage my back but the differences in my fitness, core stability and flexibility have provided a number of additional benefits (such as a much improved golf game)!

Jim is extremely passionate and knowledgeable about his area of expertise and has been responsible for some positive changes in my own life which have already brought about good results. I would highly recommend and he will be the first person I get in touch with whenever I feel my body isn't performing at it's best, or any health related issues.

From regular assessments of strength and flexibility that lead to a customised exercise programme to improve fitness, strength and flexibility to a focus on nutrition that has been really valuable for me. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Jim is an expert! Jim helped me improve mobility and manage osteoarthritis to the extent that even after more than 5 years I still don't require surgical intervention or pain killers. The caveat being ... listen to the advise, follow the advise and persist!

In July 2023, Claire Lawton said about JT Ethos
At 52, I was feeling sluggish, fatigued and fed up. Illness before a hysterectomy I had gained weight and had not managed to shift it post surgery. I managed through a ‘popular’ dieting group had helped me move 2 stone over several months but had soon plateaued. I was at a loss of what to do. My sleeping was not great, often tired and resorted to hunger snacking and comfort eating.
In comes Jim Thorp of JT Ethos, and the refuel health kick. The program delivers an overhaul to boost health, vitality and immunity. Delivered online, over a few weeks, with the support of the group to keep me motivated, all sounded perfect for me.
The start of the program delivered a detox for the first two weeks, followed by a development of the ideal foods for my metabolism. Overall, I have the understanding of how to rethink my choices in my lifestyle, following the principals of Dr Diet, Dr Movement, Dr Quiet and Dr Happiness.
In 5 weeks I have lost 4.6kg (10lb) and 23 cm (9inches). I feel healthier, lighter, clearer of mind, sleeping well and a new set of recipes I love.
So if you are in need of a change with your health, not sure where to start, I highly recommend a discussion with Jim at JT Ethos. Alternatively contact me to find out more of my experience.

In August 2023, Richard Hale said about JT Ethos
I’ve suffered with a bad back for over 5 years, a side effect of numerous knee operations.
I visited osteopaths, chiropractors and ultimately had scans and X-rays which finally gave me a diagnosis of prolapsed discs. Any treatment has been short-lived and I had come to the point of thinking nothing could really be done.
In May my wife persuaded me to go and have a chat with Jim of J T Ethos. By the end of the our chat he told me he was confident he could help me. The first session Jim fully assessed my body posture and flexibility. He then gave me exercises to do at home that would improve my core and work on the deficiencies in my calf and hamstrings.
I couldn’t believe the improvement in my back in just a week - my constant pain had gone.
Jim has explained that to have the long term benefit I must keep up with my exercise on a daily basis. I have done this and Jim has monitored my progress weekly, adding other exercises as needed to further improve my core. I cannot believe the difference.
I can’t recommend Jim highly enough. I honestly thought I would be suffering for the rest of my life.
So anyone who is suffering with a bad back or other joint issues, I would definitely advise to give Jim a call and book an appointment. He doesn’t just work on your physical body but also supports your well-being and diet. His holistic approach absolutely works!
