Frequently asked questions
What is FY Project?
FY Project is an online personal training and fitness support programme combining personalised exercise programming, personal trainer support, progress tracking and qualified therapist-designed mind support through the FYP app. The programme is designed to help people get fitter and healthier while developing more sustainable exercise habits.
What is online personal training?
Online personal training provides personalised exercise programming and support without requiring you to train with your personal trainer in person. At FY Project, your training plan is built around your goals, fitness level, experience, available equipment and circumstances. You complete your workouts independently and receive ongoing support from your personal trainer through the FYP app.
Do I need a gym?
No. Your FY Project training plan can be designed around a full gym, home equipment, limited equipment or bodyweight training. The programme is designed around what you actually have available.
Is FY Project suitable for beginners?
Yes. You do not need previous gym experience or a high level of fitness to join. Training can be adapted to your current ability and progressed as your fitness improves.
Can I use FY Project if I am returning to exercise?
Yes. FY Project is designed for people starting from scratch as well as people returning to exercise after a break. Your programme starts from your current fitness level rather than assuming you are already fit.
How personalised is the training plan?
Your training plan is based on information about your goals, fitness level, training experience, available equipment, circumstances and preferences. JC reviews your progress and can adjust your programme as you progress or your circumstances change.
How often does my personal trainer check in?
On the online plan, JC does a weekly check-in: he checks in on your training and progress, with a quick call when needed. Once a month he does a monthly review: he reviews your progress and adjusts your plan as needed. With an FY Go or FY Transform package, your check-ins happen in your sessions, and JC does a monthly review while your package is active: he reviews your progress and adjusts your plan as needed.
How does the FYP app work?
The FYP app contains the training and mind-support sides of the FY Project programme. On the Body side, you can access your training plan, record workouts, log weights and track measurements. On the Mind side, you can access qualified therapist-designed self-guided tools, psychological education and mood check-ins.
What is the mind support?
Mind support is a collection of self-guided tools, psychological education and check-ins designed by a qualified therapist. It focuses on common psychological and behavioural barriers to exercise and healthy habit change, such as motivation, self-criticism, stress, overwhelm and consistency.
Is the mind support therapy?
No. The FY Project mind support is not therapy, counselling, psychotherapy or a crisis service. It is self-guided support and educational content designed by a qualified therapist.
Can I message my personal trainer?
Yes. Messages can be sent through the FYP app while your app access is active. Messages are answered within 48 hours. Messages are not instant and FY Project is not a crisis service.
How much does online personal training cost?
The FY Project online training plan costs £149 per month. If you've had a single in-person session with JC, joining before your 7-day app access ends makes your first month £99. You can cancel at any time.
Can I cancel online personal training?
Yes. The online training plan can be cancelled at any time and there is no long-term contract.
Can I train with JC in person?
Yes. In-person personal training sessions are available separately. Individual sessions are £50 (FY Start), four sessions cost £180 (FY Go) and eight sessions cost £280 (FY Transform, £35 per session). Packages must be used within 1 month of purchase.
Is FY Project suitable for women?
Yes. FY Project welcomes people of different ages, fitness levels and backgrounds. The programme can be adapted around individual goals, circumstances and abilities.
Is FY Project suitable for neurodivergent people?
FY Project can be suitable for neurodivergent people, including people with ADHD, autism, AuDHD, dyslexia and dyspraxia. Training and support can be adapted around individual needs, preferences, routines and barriers to consistency. FY Project does not provide diagnosis or clinical treatment for neurodivergence.
What happens if I stop using FY Project?
If you stop your online subscription, your app access is switched off and your account is kept for 12 months so you can pick up where you left off. After 12 months it is deleted. You can ask us to delete your account at any time.
Do you work with people on GLP-1 medication?
Yes. JC trains clients who are on GLP-1 medication, focusing on strength work and energy-aware sessions. He doesn't advise on medication, doses, side effects or diet, and he works alongside your prescriber or a dietitian. More about training support for GLP-1 clients
