I have been working with James as my PT for just over a month now and he has exceeded my expectations. He is extremely knowledgable and passionate about helping you transform your body and fitness levels.
The progress I have made in such a short time is fantastic! I already look and feel better. It's clear he has a wealth of knowledge and experience. He is professional, genuinely listens to your needs and has already created 4 bespoke training programmes for me. The exercise plans are extremely varied in nature and intensity to keep things interesting and motivating.
Would highly recommend James as a personal trainer!

James has been instrumental in my improvement in general fitness and tennis ability. In a matter of weeks I have learnt how to play with my non-dominant hand and have settled in to a tennis group and feel comfortable training in the gym. Would recommend to anyone, thanks James! More...

Having not played tennis for 30+ years when I took it up again I quickly realised I needed some help! James has done a great job bringing my game up to date.
I find his way of explaining and demonstrating shots works well for me and he has huge patience (much needed) as I drift back into old bad habits regularly!
Aside from the tennis, it’s always a good workout and James is always ready to offer tips and advice.

Mark McAnulty
James contacted me through my tennis club, promoting personal fitness to reduce injuries and enjoy your hobbies/activities for years to come.
Having had various sessions now, his friendly persona and advise has helped me to improve my overall fitness, but more importantly has helped me understand my body at my age, and what it needs to stay strong. His advise on nutrition was easy to understand and is ability to demonstrate exercises made it simple to re-enact at home. James has helped me to achieve a personal goal, which was more flexibility and core strength.
Light hearted and fun to be around.
thanks James , Mark
