After my kickoff session, I knew I had to purchase a session package. James has been amazing to work with. I don't dread the thought of my workouts, which isn't to say he makes it easy, but the time does go by quickly. He switches up the routine each session so I'm not bored and is closely monitoring every step. Looking forward to more sessions. Highly recommend!

I dropped 100 POUNDS while working with James. He helped me tremendously with my battle to improve my overall physical health, as well as my appearance. As a working actor, his guidance led to a complete transformation of my "type", resulting in more bookings. Among the list of health benefits, I beat type 2 Diabetes, and an enlarged ventricle in my heart has self-corrected. He pushes you when you need it, but always considers your safety first and the limitations of your body at any particular time. He doesn't use a cookie-cutter approach to training. He uses his education and insight to craft a program specifically for you, with constant adjustments as you progress towards your goals. I highly recommend working with him; the experience and results are money well spent.

I’ve just recently started training with James and I’m already seeing results. He has a razor-sharp focus and is very results-oriented. Extremely knowledgeable about all of the aspects of wellness, including nutrition. I also like his ability to listen to his clients and make adjustments if necessary. And finally my favorite thing about him is his constant encouragement. I’m excited to be training with James long-term and I highly recommend him.
