WHERE TRAINING
MEETS THERAPY

John Akowuah PT

I'm John — a dedicated Personal Trainer, BSc Sports Therapist, and Massage Therapist committed to helping you move better, feel stronger, and live completely pain-free.

With a passion for human performance and injury rehabilitation, I combine evidence-based training methods with hands-on therapeutic techniques to deliver a genuinely complete, holistic approach to your health and fitness.

Whether you're a complete beginner, a competitive athlete, or someone recovering from injury — I focus on building balanced, functional movement patterns and creating personalised programmes that support long-term, lasting results.

My approach emphasises mobility, strength, prevention, and recovery — ensuring you receive tailored support that genuinely matches your goals and lifestyle. You'll not just reach your targets, you'll understand your body along the way.

FAQ

COMMON
QUESTIONS

Absolutely. John works with complete beginners through to competitive athletes. His approach always starts with a thorough assessment, so your programme is built exactly where you are right now — not where a generic plan assumes you to be.

Yes — and this is one of John's key strengths. With his BSc Sports Therapy background, he can assess, work around, and actively rehabilitate injuries that would leave other trainers unsure. Many clients come to John specifically because of an injury.

Personal training focuses on your fitness goals — strength, weight loss, conditioning. Sports therapy focuses on your body's function — assessment, injury treatment, rehabilitation, and massage. John is uniquely qualified to deliver both, which means your sessions can blend training and therapy in one holistic programme.

John is based at PureGym Birmingham West. All personal training sessions take place at the gym. Massage therapy sessions can be discussed separately — contact John directly to arrange.
