James is good at keeping you focused whilst working out but also he has a lot of banter with his clients

James first provided me with a programme when I was relatively new to the gym, particularly the weights room. He was very knowledgeable and informative and suggested exercises that were tailored to the areas I wanted to improve upon. He made sure that my technique was perfect on each exercise, in order to maximise my results. Most importantly of all, James made me feel at ease in the gym, an environment that some can see as quite intimidating. I would encourage anyone to go and see James, whether you’re new to the gym or have been going for years and want a fresh programme and some new advice. More...

James has been training me for 6 months now. During this time he has helped me not only in the 1-2-1 sessions but also with my nutrition and programming.

Really excellent classes, where James makes you work hard, but they are also great fun. The workouts are designed to work your whole body and combine strength exercises with cardio. James motivates us to keep going and devises different exercises to keep it interesting with variety. Brilliant! More...

Having trained with James at the gym I used to attend, I knew that these group sessions would be great and they are. The sessions are tailored for all abilities which means you work at your pace. James is highly knowledgeable not only when it comes to exercise but also gives great advise about nutrition. I can highly recommend him and if you are looking for a personal trainer then look no further. My blood pressure which has always been high is now almost normal thanks to him. More...

Great PT - makes you feel so at ease when training. He’s managed to turn me from hating the gym to feeling confident with my workouts.

Top quality Trainer! So hard to actually find a PT who can cater to your needs and not theirs. Very knowledgable, easy to get on with, and doesn't just tell you what you want to hear. It's really refreshing!

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
As a professional Personal Trainer, my main passion is guiding people towards a healthier lifestyle. Every body is unique; each with its own strengths and limitations. My method is to build a custom plan based on your shape, size, and fitness goals. My aim is not only to transform your body, but to influence you in making more mindful decisions when it comes to your health.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
I believe the secret to getting the body of your dreams is to enjoy yourself. You don't need to be religiously strict about your diet or bang on your training 100% of the time. If you enjoy the process and have things that you enjoy in moderation rather than cutting them out then the results will come quicker.
What do you love most about your job?
I love seeing people progress from training and the satisfaction when they reach their goals.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've always had a passion for health and fitness after a strong sport background and helping friends with their training. This progressed to me wanting to make a career out of it after seeing friends develop and thinking that I could help not only my friends but wanting to help as many people as I can.
Why should our clients choose you?
Through many of my testimonials there are a few things that always come up; I make you work hard, I make your sessions fun, I motivate you, I make sessions varied to keep things interesting and challenging, I cater to your needs and not mine, I don't just tell you what you want to hear, I make you feel at ease, I make you feel confident.
