What Our Athletes Say

Paris Olympian 2024

Aki Epenisa

I have had the pleasure of working closely with both JP and Devon along with their dedicated team of colleagues. Together, they jumpstarted my journey as Tonga’s first female boxer to compete at the Olympic Games.

Every training session was carefully planned and purposeful. I was amazed to see individuals from all walks of life seeking assistance from JP - from soccer, rugby, basketball, and netball players to parents, kids, and the entire community - everyone came to find a place to optimise their lifestyles.

It’s no surprise that they excel in their field. Their dedication to the success of their athletes is unparalleled. The environment they create is safe and encouraging, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have them as a part of my Olympic journey. Although I currently reside in the States, I am proud to say that JP ATHLETIC will always be my sanctuary for personal growth whenever I visit New Zealand.

Jordan has elevated my understanding of strength and conditioning, leading to unbelievable improvements in my athleticism. I started with JP in 2022 and my achievements in amateur boxing since then speak for itself.

The key to our continued success lies in the advancement of each training camp over the previous one. Jordan's commitment to our continual improvement ensures our victories in each successive fight camp.

I love working with JP because of his genuine care for his athletes'. He consistently strives to cultivate a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can refine themselves both mentally and physically. It's safe to say that I am committed to JP ATHLETIC for life.

I am so grateful to be part of this team and under JP's guidance.

I was buzzing from the start! JP took a unique approach, stripping down my training to its essentials. It was unlike anything I had experienced before, and I'm immensely grateful to JP for taking me under his wing and helping me achieve peak condition after my injury.

I first met Jordan through Rugby League circles and was impressed by his playing skills and willingness to give back. A year later, my son started training with JP and has thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it! Jordan's passion for his craft and practical application of knowledge to improve athletes daily is truly impressive. He treats everyone, whether professional or aspiring, with equal dedication. Thanks to JP, my son has achieved teams and accolades he once thought were impossible. I wholeheartedly recommend JP ATHLETIC to anyone.

Davenport University / All-GLIAC Honorable Mention

I have trained with JP since 2018, preparing for my move to America, where I arrived in the best shape of my life. Thanks to JP's training, my transition into the American system was seamless, and I enjoyed a successful two-year college career. I won the GLIAC league and was nominated for the honorable side in my sophomore year.

I am now the fittest I have ever been, strong, and free from nagging injuries. JP meticulously manages my preparation and recovery, ensuring no stone is left unturned. I highly recommend any athlete aspiring to a football career to invest in their bodies and train with JP ATHLETIC.

In 2018, following my ACL surgery, I made the best decision by joining JP ATHLETIC. The results I achieved far exceeded my expectations, enabling me to regain confidence and return to the court earlier than anticipated.

The specialised training provided by JP helped me conquer any fears I had about resuming sports and transformed me into a more well rounded athlete. Looking back, I only wish I had joined sooner!

JP ATHLETIC feels like my second home since I returned from Japan. Jordan's guidance has completely transformed my approach to S&C in a short time. Under his guidance, I adopted the ATG methods, and for the first time in my career, all my aches and pains disappeared. Each day and session bring new challenges, but they are accompanied by laughter and great stories, making it an enjoyable experience.

In 2020, I found JP ATHLETIC. My career was plagued by injuries, and I considered hanging up the boots. But thanks to JP, I discovered a transformative space for physical and mental growth. He changed my perspective on S&C and kept my dream alive.

Now, in my third consecutive injury-free season, I've won multiple championships around the world and now playing footy in Canberra.

At 20, I was advised to quit competitive sports due to several serious knee injuries. However, after training with JP for a few months, I passed all return-to-sport tests and made a successful comeback. I have since played rugby for the Otago Spirit in the Farah Palmer Cup, recently made the Auckland Storm side and represented the Manusina.

The transformation I've undergone, both physically and mentally, has been remarkable.

National Rugby League Referee

Joseph Green

I started training with JP in early 2020 after being told I wouldn’t receive further opportunities as a National/International referee if I continued down the weight path I was on. JP helped me initially lose 25kg, re-discover my passion for League and Touch and get back to refereeing at the highest level in New Zealand. I am always grateful for JP and the environment he has created which has allowed me to become a better person on and off the field.

In 2021, I achieved great success, winning nationals and earning the MVP award. I am excited to keep growing and seeing the results of my hard work.

Wellington Olympic / Cook Islands National Team

Ben Mata

During the 2022 season, I had the opportunity to train with Jordan, marking a significant period in my football journey. I was splitting my time between Auckland and Wellington, which meant I could only train with my team once a week.

At the start of the year, I was worried about how this limited training would impact my physical sharpness and overall fitness. Then Jordan stepped in.

I trained with JP twice a week, consistently adhering to his sessions and philosophies. As a result, I found myself in the best shape of my football career. I ended the season as a back-to-back Central League Champion and a National League Runner-Up.

I first met Jordan when we played together at the Hornets, and his dedication and expertise were evident even then.
