Married in 2003, they established The Vault Gym in 2010 after years of involvement in competitive sport and a growing belief that the fitness industry should be more than a conveyor belt of generic classes.
Their vision was to create a training environment that supports exceptional fitness professionals and gives them the space to do what they do best. The Vault brings together ambitious, highly skilled PTs with people who want highly personalised 1:1 training sessions.
Sport has always been a huge part of Jon’s life. His success on the track as a nationally competitive 400m hurdler led him to study Exercise Science at university - turning a lifelong passion for performance into a career.
Based on a core-principle that training should be something people look forward to, the couple designed the space to be stylish, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming - The Vault Gym is a place where great coaching and a strong community come together.
Now a qualified PT with over 30 years’ experience, Jon combines academic expertise with decades of hands-on coaching. And he’s still very much on the gym floor, training his own private clients and doing what he loves most - helping people achieve their goals.
Over the years, those goals have looked very different. He’s helped people take their very first steps into exercise, supported athletes competing at World Championship level, and worked with clients returning to fitness following injury or health challenges.
For Jon, the fundamentals are the same whatever your starting point. Progress takes hard work and structure - but it’s a hell of a lot easier when you’ve got someone there to guide you, support you and keep you moving forward.
Suzy is horse mad, and as well as being a showjumper, she also used to compete in various showing events.
She’s now a qualified PT and yoga teacher specialising in Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin and Power Yoga, and her little oasis in central Shoreditch is the yoga room at The Vault.
