I’ve really enjoyed training with James over the last four weeks. He took the time to understand my goals and focused on improving my lifting technique rather than just putting me through a workout. His explanations were clear, he made small adjustments that made an immediate difference, and he gave me more confidence with the bigger lifts.James is friendly, easy to talk to, and creates a relaxed environment while still paying close attention to detail. I’d happily recommend him to anyone looking to improve their strength, technique, and confidence in the gym. More...

I am currently 6 months into a partnership with James and can honestly say that I have never been happier with my progress. I have been a gym goer for over 20 years, but never managed to put all of the pieces together, so I reached out to James. We had a consultation, discussed my goals and went from there. The first thing was to get me ready for a Hyrox. James tailored a program for me that included strength, cardio and nutrition, and as I write this review, I am 1 week away from the event and feel absolutely ready to compete. James' approach is bespoke to what you need. At one point, I needed a proper kick up the ar&e, and it was delivered in such a way that I thanked him afterwards! Other times, I have needed a bit of tweaking/ advice, and he has been there immediately to help. I am on his online plan where everything I need is accessed via an app. This includes all nutrition, workouts and exercise videos. Despite being online, James is also ever present, and on hand should I need a quick demo of an exercise face to face. In the past 6 months he has had me doing things that have left me wondering 'Why am I doing this...', yet when I put it all together to do a Hyrox simulation, everything felt easy. I would highly recommend speaking to James should you want a Personal Trainer who has the answers to any questions you may have. More...

Been using James's now for around 3/4 months. I've had my personal battles over this time whilst using James, which has made my progress slow. But progress is progress and I've learnt that consistency, determination and taking on board what your being told is the only way you'll progress. I've learnt to love the gym without it controlling my life and this comes from the knowledge James's has given me. Not only in the gym using weights, but what I put in mouth. Growth, weight loss and body change is happening! After having a woman PT in the past I was very anxious about using a male PT. I wish i found James two years ago when I joined my local gym. His knowledge, experience, motivation and friendlies Is second to none. Couldn't recommend him enough. Top Bloke that works around the clock to push himself to become more and more qualified so he can help others. If you've spent you life like me doing different diets, spending hours doing boring cardio, eating rabbit food thinking you'll sustain you weight loss, look no further! Use a PT, join a gym and stick at it. James is your man. 💪☺️ More...

James is an absolutely amazing coach and personal trainer, with an huge knowledge around weight loss, nutrition and muscle gain… and each one is playing a massive part in my progress so far as a gym enthusiast 💪🏼! From tailoring my workouts to fit around a back injury, to helping me build muscle and confidence, to switching up and tailoring my nutrition, he has been there every step of the way, keeping me accountable, and motivating me each and every day to push myself harder and to keep a focus on the goals we’ve set together. He brings an extremely high level of motivation and enthusiasm to his coaching, which gives me the push to get the most out of my sessions and new lifestyle change. James has a personal fitness app that tracks everything for me, it has tailored workouts (created by James) specifically created for me to follow with in depth videos and guidance, based around my goals. Along side the app I have weekly progress reviews where he has an in depth look at my past week of training and eating, and he tweaks any areas and gives me feedback on lifts, nutrition, or things to try or lifting goals to aim for in the following weeks. This also involves explanations to why he has changed certain areas, such as nutrition macro changes or accessory tweaks, to better suit me as a lifter and get closer to the goals that we have set together. His app has made the entire process easy to follow and easy to see the progress that I have made in the past months. He takes a high level of interest in how my training journey is going, but also how I am doing in other aspects of my life, with him always being there to speak to about any worries or life issues being faced. In turn understanding where things might take a bit more work or tweaking to my programme and nutrition to accommodate. I appreciate James, as he always reinforces my achievements and makes sure I don’t forget how far I’ve come in my fitness journey, and is always there to speak to. Not only has James made me more confident within the gym, but has also given me an awesome amount of confidence in my training and physique, and I can say that after 14 years, I am now comfortable taking my top of in front of people, whether it be in the garden, beach or sauna. James is making me love the process and progress that I have made, and I am looking forward to the progress we’re aiming for in the next few months! If anyone is looking for someone to help them with their training and nutrition, James Lambert is the only personal trainer you’ll ever need. Not only that, he will motivate and keep you focused on your goals, whilst also making sure you have fun doing it. Choosing James has been the best decision of my life, and I want other people to experience how he can change theirs. 💪🏼🙌🏼🤙🏼 More...

Horrific gym! Cardio room is OK but in the weights room it's ridiculously busy, out of the 30/40 machines/benches 90% of them are rotationallly taken. Constant staring and intimidation can be felt, staff nowhere to be seen. The weight/height machine in the corridor has been out of use for 2 months after quizing the manager and about 6 heated phonecalls it finally works. However it's too late, I've found a tenfold better gym and at half the price! More...

I highly recommend James if you’re looking for an effective PT. He establishes what you want to get out of your training and sets realistic goals, then works you hard to achieve those goals. If you’re feeling low on energy, don’t worry. He’ll adapt sessions to your energy levels so you don’t burn out and still get the most out of your session. James is easy to get hold of if you have any questions and he genuinely takes an interest in how your training is going. He backs up his training with a depth of knowledge on physical strength training and functional movement and is able to advise you on diet including macro/micro nutrients. You’ll know why you’re doing particular movements and not just do them because you’re told to. I feel more confident in going to the gym and doing my own work outs in between PT sessions, which I did not before I started with James. He motivates you with his own enthusiasm at what you can achieve. Most importantly, he keeps you involved in your own journey and makes sessions enjoyable. If you any attainable goals and achieve results, then James is definitely the man to get you there. More...

If you are new to the gym or a seasoned pro that needs to get back in the game this is the man for you. James adapts his approach to the client and I have seen that first hand. From being nervous to enter the gym he has coached me through to be more confident in my training and smash my goals. I have learnt great techniques that will stay with me forever More...

I signed up for a weightloss/fitness improvement programme with James. I must say it worked with fantastic results. James is very knowledgeable in the field and at the same time very friendly, professional and approachable. I am very pleased with my results. I lost 10kg in 8 weeks (!!) and I could have lost more, had I stuck to James’ diet plan 100%. Not only that, but I improved my overall fitness and strength (which were paramount to me in order to pursue mountaineering). I also improved my physique and posture to the point I would happily show it off at the beach. It is paramount that you follow the plan that James devises for you to the dot, as it’s custom made to achieve the goal you desire. However, he will be there to support you along the way and ensure you stick to your calorie targets. That helped me a lot and I was very happy with my results and I’m sure you will be too whatever your goals. Very highly recommended. More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
I help clients achieve their fitness goals by removing guesswork and creating clarity around what actually matters for them.
Everything starts with understanding the person, not just the goal — their lifestyle, work demands, stress levels, training history, relationship with food, and what has or hasn’t worked before. From there, I build personalised training and nutrition strategies that are realistic, flexible, and sustainable, rather than rigid plans people struggle to stick to.
I focus heavily on education and decision-making, so clients understand why they’re doing something, not just what to do. That builds confidence and ownership, which is what allows progress to continue even when life gets busy or motivation dips.
Along the way, I provide structured check-ins, honest feedback, and adjustments based on how their body responds. It’s not about pushing harder for the sake of it — it’s about progressing intelligently, staying consistent, and making fitness something that supports their life, not competes with it.
That’s how clients don’t just reach their goals, but actually maintain them long-term.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
There isn’t a single secret, and that’s actually the point.
The body people describe as their “dream body” usually comes from doing the simple things consistently, not extreme plans or perfect weeks. It’s built through clarity around nutrition, sensible training, patience, and the ability to stay consistent when life isn’t ideal.
What really makes the difference is alignment — your food, training, recovery, and lifestyle all pulling in the same direction. When those pieces fit your real life, not an unrealistic version of it, progress becomes sustainable instead of something you constantly start and stop.
In my experience, the biggest shift happens when people stop chasing quick fixes and start building habits they can repeat. That’s when confidence improves, stress around food reduces, and the body changes almost as a by-product of better decisions over time.
So the “secret” isn’t doing more, it’s doing what works for you, consistently, and long enough for it to matter.
What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about my job is seeing the knock-on effect it has on people’s lives, not just their physique.
Yes, helping someone change how they look is great, but the real reward is watching their confidence come back, their energy improve, and their relationship with food and training become calmer and more positive. It’s when a client tells me they feel better showing up at work, have more patience and energy for their kids, or go on holiday without stressing about food or how they look — that’s the good stuff.
I also love the process of working closely with people, understanding what makes them tick, and helping them realise they’re far more capable than they thought. Seeing someone go from feeling stuck or frustrated to feeling in control again is genuinely rewarding, and that’s what keeps me passionate about what I do.
What inspired you to start your own business?
What inspired me to start my own business was seeing how many people were being given generic plans and surface-level advice, and then being left to figure it out on their own when real life got in the way.
I realised quite early on that people don’t fail because they’re lazy or unmotivated, they struggle because the support they’re given doesn’t reflect their lifestyle, pressures, or relationship with food and training. I wanted to build something that was more personal, more human, and more sustainable, where clients feel understood rather than judged.
Starting my own business allowed me to coach in a way that aligns with my values, taking the time to listen, educate, and guide people properly, not just chase quick results. Being able to help people feel better in themselves, build confidence, and create changes that actually last is what pushed me to do it on my own terms.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should choose me if they want real coaching, not just a plan.
I take the time to understand the person behind the goal — their lifestyle, pressures, mindset, and what’s realistically sustainable for them. That means everything is personalised, not copied and pasted, and designed to fit around real life, not fight against it.
I focus on education, clarity, and consistency, so clients don’t just follow instructions, they actually learn how to make better decisions long-term. That’s what builds confidence and stops the cycle of starting over every few months.
Most importantly, I genuinely care about my clients’ progress and wellbeing. I keep my client numbers intentionally low so people get the support, feedback, and honesty they need to move forward. If someone wants accountability, guidance, and a coach who’s invested in their success beyond quick wins, then I’m the right fit.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I provide all of my services online and remotely, and the level of support is the same as working with me in person.
Online coaching includes fully personalised training and nutrition plans, tailored to your goals, lifestyle, schedule, and experience level. Clients have access to my coaching app where they can log food, track habits, view their plans, and check in with me regularly. This allows me to monitor progress closely and make ongoing adjustments based on how your body is responding, not just what looks good on paper.
Depending on the package, clients receive regular check-ins, ongoing feedback, and daily support, including direct messaging where needed. This setup works particularly well for busy professionals, parents, or anyone who wants structure and accountability without being tied to a specific location or session time.
The aim of my online coaching is to give you clarity, flexibility, and consistent support, so you can make progress wherever you are.
