I have never done any type of exercise and I am very overweight , I have never been to a gym either, or had a personal trainer.i always thought one day I will get myself going but I I could never do those big gyms anyway, James knows why 🤣I am 🐔. and I never never ever thought I would ask/hire a personaltrainer . I thought I will just do it on my own at home.
I started looking at some home gym equipment, and I thought I will just get an online trainer to help me, or do it on my own.all this searching went on for weeks. but after searching for equipment , I knew I was in trouble on my own , it wasnt going to work , and an online coach wouldn't work for me either.
like I said , I never thought I would go to a big gym, let alone get a personaltrainer. somehow thumbtack popped up , it may have been on facebook , or during my Google searches. so I posted on thumbtack I was looking for a personaltrainer to help me, I posted that I was way overweight , and I wanted to lose it and work towards getting in shape, by improving my fitness and work towards abdominals , chest and arms , just all of it. I cant believe I posted that but I did.
James messaged me and said he would like to work with me , and that he could help me.
what I cant believe, is I walked through the door a few days later yup! had a great consultation with James and a light workout to see what I could do .
he explained along the way what he was doing and what I was to do in the light workout, and if I got tired or couldnt finish we would stop . he is good he knows how to make you at home and confident , and with me that's a challenge.
I signed with James and I'm starting this week 8-19-25 . once he gets me to the point of losing weight as he is also a certified nutrition coach , and works out a fitness plan for me , I might even agree to post some pictures of working towards my goal
with his help of getting me towards being in my best shape possible .
I highly recommend James , he is great ! he knows just the right training methods to help gain confidence and keep you motivated. if you need that kind of help he is the one. I lacked both confidence and motivation , after my first full workout session , I was hooked I LOVE it ! I'm starting to gain confidence too ! thats what a great trainer does , you don't regret it if you go with James .
thank you James ! I need all the help I can get

James was great. I haven’t worked out with a trainer ever and was nervous but he was very kind and motivating. He has a lot of knowledge and guides you through each exercise. I’ve recommended him to others after only one session. Very glad and will continue to use him to help with my weight loss.

James is very helpful and knowledgeable. Along with a good workout he also educates me on form and tips to achieve my goal.

Over the past few months I really struggled to put on muscle. I felt like I was stuck in the same place without seeing any results. Working with James really helped me push through that plateau. He created a workout plan just for me and as a result I was able to gain 10 pounds of muscle. I am now more confident in my own body thanks to James.
