Portrait of Tim Fred-Jatto, founder and head coach at Strength Based.d

Hi,
I'm Tim

About me

I’m a strength and rehabilitation coach based in Bristol and Bath. My goal is to simplify all things health and fitness, and to create an accessible and welcoming lifting space for anyone with a goal.

I believe strength training is fundamental to living a healthy and building the body you want — therfore everyone should have access to it, regardless of age, experience, or ability.

​

I work with a really wide variety of clients — from athletes and actors to pre- and post-natal clients, to powerlifters, and my own parents.


I offer strength and mobility classes, 1-to-1 in-person PT and online coaching from my private studio.

​Tim knows his stuff and he has the knack of seeing what you don't understand and making it visual or clear so that you can learn. In other words he's a natural teacher. He's never pushed me beyond what I could comfortably achieve and his gentle and humorous encouragement has been constant.

I’ve been training on my own for years, but working with Tim has been a game changer. He’s helped me nail my form, showed me the right rep ranges, and taught me how to stretch properly. I’m learning a lot and enjoying the process. My strength and mobility have improved massively after just a couple of months with 2 sessions a week. Tim’s also super knowledgeable and inspiring when it comes to nutrition.

Tim is a fantastic coach, have been with a couple of coaches before but Tim is definitely the best for me. I’ve seen improvement in all of my lifts, his expertise and knowledge in how to improve my technique and form has helped so much and it’s helped my understanding of what I need to do to get better. I’ve definitely got stronger, I wanted to do a body building block, it was effective in building muscle, and now going back to powerlifting, I’m feeling much stronger in that too.

I'd never weightlifted before, and as an over-60, 5'1" 56kg woman I didn't see what I had in common with all those big guys in the gym. Now I do! Strength training is a mindful mental exercise as well as a physical one, and the fact that I am now stronger than I have ever been in my life - and can deadlift numbers higher than my bodyweight or age in multiple reps - is amazing to me. Back and leg strength has fixed previous occasional lower-back pain / foot balance issues.
