Personal Trainers at Chrysalis
Senior Trainer – JONATHAN PARROTT
I am a keen sportsman and have always kept fit, taking an interest in ways to maintain this. Until May 2009, I was a Major in the Royal Artillery but after I decided to leave I took my interest in fitness a step further successfully qualifying as a Level 4 instructor and personal trainer. On completion, I established Chrysalis Fitness; a private studio based personal training company based in the Woodford Valley, near Salisbury. Having experienced big impersonal gyms throughout my career, my concept was to encourage people, who find such places intimidating, to train in a well-equipped private studio on a one-to-one basis. Using novel training techniques and varied training programmes I want to put the fun back into fitness training.
I have over twenty years experience in motivating and training others to achieve their best, as an officer in the British Army. I have participated in triathlons, endurance events, such as the 3 Peaks and the Great Glen Challenge, and have run 5 London Marathons. In addition to running Chrysalis Fitness I am the conditioning coach with Salisbury Lawn Tennis Club, working with their juniors.
I am married and have two young children, so fully understand the pressures of family life and finding time to exercise with so many competing demands.
