I have worked with Jim on and off for 7 years. He is reliable and very meticulous. He comes up with routines to keep training from getting mundane or boring. He paces it well to keep it challenging but not overwhelming. And for someone who can feel self-conscious about exercise he does a great job of making me feel comfortable. I can’t recommend him highly enough! I’m thrilled with the progress and have never felt better or stronger. I’ve never liked exercise, but I told Jim I’m starting to like it since I met him! I’ve recommended him to several people. You can’t go wrong! More...

I had never liked exercise. I was getting older and my body was starting to 'talk' to me. So I decided to invest in a personal trainer for the first time. I am SO GLAD I did. Jim was able to adjust my training to ease me into exercise. I worked with Jim for a good long while. I discovered that I did have a core there insid. . The exercises were always varied and his expertise assured my form was good. I am amazed at what we were able to do. I highly recommend Jim!! More...
