Who is your fitness idol?

"I don't believe in Idolising, but much of what Bruce Lee wrote on martial arts still resonates for me today: "Use what is useful, throw out what doesn't work" -- adapt and evolve to see where your own journey can take you. Ultimately competition is with yourself not others."

What is your top health and fitness mantra?

"I like: 'you can't out-train a poor diet'. More and more research shows this to be true, especially with regard to weight loss and body composition change."

Do you work with many famous clients?

"Tons... but it's not that important really, the messages are the same. The key is to meet people where they are and help take them forward in their goals."

What do you listen to when you train?

"JLS. Haha, only joking! I like my workout music angry, think Led Zeppelin, Prodigy, Henry Rollins, Wagner, or Public Enemy." Jon will be answering your fitness questions about workouts, diet, training and everything in between on a weekly basis, so stay tuned to AskMen for details on how to put your questions forward.You can follow Jon on Twitter @jondenoris, and head to www.clubfiftyone.co.uk for more information about his fitness studio.
