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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
