Jesse David Gooding
Personal Strength and Conditioning Coach

Jesse is passionate about developing the body as part of a journey of personal growth. He challenges his clients to overcome their limitations by exploring the limits of their physical strength.

“I treat many people who are recovering from injuries and provide the correct amount of stress on the weak point of the body. In this way we can help overcome trauma and prevent further recurrence of injury.”

Jesse has been working in the field of sports and martial arts for over 20 years. He has had the privilege of teaching martial arts to some of Hong Kong’s most famous actors, including Maggie Q, Shawn Yue and Simon Yam. Jesse has also worked as a stuntman in a number of local films.

In the World Wushu Championships held in Henan Province, China, in 2005, Jesse won 3 gold medals in performance, fighting and use of weaponry.

Jesse’s unique approach to training draws on both his martial arts experience and his current work with Ido Portal, one of the most renowned strength and mobility teachers in the world. The philosophy behind Jesse’s system is the belief that, first and foremost, our bodies are designed to move. If we want to be healthy, active and happy, we must start with quality movements that develop the body’s freedom to walk, run, jump, squat and play.

Sessions are 60 minutes long and focus on:

• Improving mobility:
  extensive work on warming up the joints and muscles through a variety of exercises designed to reverse tightness caused by inactivity such as prolonged periods of sitting,
• Preparation of the joints:
  loading them with just enough stress to build resistance while preventing injury,
• Strength training:
  utilising a variety of techniques to help clients build muscles, recover from injuries, burn body fat quickly, maintain lean body mass and correct postural imbalances.

Whether you are seeking relief from physical discomfort, better general flexibility or increased sports performance, Jesse can help you with a programme tailored to suit your individual needs.
