Plexus

When people see Jon training, they see the workout.
What they don't see is the journey behind it.
Jon comes from a direct lineage of Joseph Pilates — 3rd generation. He started as a kid in the 90s, long before Pilates became a trend. That foundation shaped everything.
Today he's an orthopedic physiotherapist, certified Pilates teacher, and co-founder of the Plexus Method — where 25 years of natural bodybuilding meets rehabilitation science and one of the most authentic movement lineages in the world.
Strength. Control. Precision. Functionality.
Not a program. A methodology.
After all of it, he's still showing up. Still learning. Still proving consistency beats quick fixes every time.
Not because it's easy.
Because it's worth it.

3 lessons I've learned after 15+ years of teaching:

✓ Read the person in front of you, not the program.

✓ Keep your cueing simple and effective.

✓ Build trust before trying to impress.

Knowledge matters. But empathy, observation, and connection are what truly make a great teacher.

People often ask me how I stay fit at 40.
The answer isn't one workout.
It's years of movement.
Pilates. Strength training. Yoga. Walking. The Plexus Method, Horseback Riding, Dancing
I've often said that movement saved me. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.
When I make time to take care of myself, I become a better mother, partner, coach, and friend.
Today my VO₂ Max is in the "Excellent" range for my age.
But this isn't about a number.
It's about showing up for yourself, day after day, and discovering what you're truly capable of. Persistence is key, the rest will follow!

Hey guys — as many of you know, I’ve been in Riyadh for a while now, and honestly, one thing that keeps impressing me is how incredible the fitness scene is here. The gyms, the energy, the people, the level of investment into wellness… it’s on another level.
Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time training, exploring different spaces, meeting people, and working behind the scenes on some exciting new things that are slowly starting to take shape.

This video was shot UFC Gym Al Olaya, and I have to say — the quality of gyms here in Saudi is seriously amazing.

A lot of new things are cooking right now, and I’m really excited for what’s ahead. Looking forward to connecting with more people here in Riyadh who are passionate about movement, performance, health, rehabilitation, and training at a high level.

More soon 👊

I'm turning 40 this year. And I've been doing this for a long time.
Honestly? I'm grateful. Not everyone gets to feel this way in their body at this age — and I don't take that lightly.
Something I can't unsee since I've been deep in this work: how much we all sit. The average is 164 hours a month. Help!!!

And then people tell me they're scared to lift weights because they don't want to look bulky. I want to debunk that right now. 2 to 3 hours of strength training a week will not make you bulky. It will make you healthy. It will keep your joints strong, your metabolism awake, your posture upright. That's it.

Research is clear — movement is one of the strongest predictors of longevity. Not just how long you live. How well. Muscle mass after 40 is directly linked to independence, cognitive function, and quality of life as you age. You're not training for aesthetics. You're training for your future self.

This is what Plexus is about. Not perfection. Not performance. Just — keep moving. Keep your body in the game.

You have more time than you think. And less than you want to waste.

The other day my daughter asked if she could join me on my run. Not because I asked her. Just because she wanted to be with me. 🥹

And recently my son had school holidays — the kid who loves nothing more than sleeping in — and the first thing he asked was if he could come to the gym with us.

I used to do what every parent does. Soccer, gymnastics, dance, basketball… you name it, we tried it. And none of it stuck. Not one thing. So I stopped pushing.

Because what I realised is that the most powerful thing you can do as a parent has nothing to do with signing them up for the right sport.

It's leading by example. Every single day they watch us move, they see how we feel, they see the energy it gives us. And slowly, quietly, they want that too.

So if you're a parent — don't stress about finding the right activity. Focus on the fun and the consistency of movement. Make it part of your life and they will make it part of theirs.

Teach them young 💪🤍

Sitting all day weakens your abs.
Posture drops. The core switches off.

Most people ignore it until pain shows up.

Abs from your chair.
Short, focused movement you can do during the workday to wake up your core and support your body in minutes.

This is the first Moveua session with Jon.
