James is the best at what he does. Everything is extremely structured starting with 30, 60, and 90 day goals as well as a nutritional plan. I had a phenomenal first session and have no doubts I made the right choice when choosing James as my personal trainer.

James is very professional. I got him to help my boyfriend lose weight and he gave us many options to choose how he wants to exercise in his own convenience. He is very quick to respond which I highly value. He's easy to get along with while still having him push you to improve.

I started working with James to rebuild lower body strength after an injury, surgery, and months of physical therapy. It became much more than I expected!After months of recovery, I was ready for more but nervous about what I could physically do. My body had developed compensation patterns and my mind was making me tentative. I tried things I wasnt sure I could do, found that I could, and improved with repetition. I started trusting my body again.I also learned a lot. Body composition has become a real lever for me as I get older, and I began paying attention to metrics beyond the scale. It shifted my focus from just working out to building habits for long-term health.I started with a goal of rebuilding strength. Now Im focused on staying strong, healthy, and active as I age. Im grateful to James for helping me get there.
Devalon Fitness's reply
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review and for trusting me with your recovery. I’m thrilled to hear you rebuilt strength, regained confidence in your body, and were able to try movements you weren’t sure you could do. It’s great that tracking body composition and other metrics helped shift your focus to sustainable habits for long-term health. I’m honored to have been part of your journey and look forward to continuing to support your goals as you stay strong and active.
