CHANGE WITH JAMES
As a coach, I believe improving health goes beyond just counting calories and reps. There are several pillars to optimal health: Mindset, nutrition, movement, recovery, and stress management.
All of these pillars must be addressed but not attacked with an all-or-nothing approach to achieve your best health. Instead, I believe each must be managed strategically, one at a time, through a habit-based system in a supportive and encouraging environment!
A BIT ABOUT ME
After living an unhealthy party lifestyle for several years, my weight ballooned up to 230 lbs. I was unhappy and lacked confidence. After implementing many of the same strategies I use with clients, I was able to lose over 50 lbs and keep it off for good! I've chosen a career in health and fitness for a simple reason -to help people experience the same changes I experienced through my own personal transformation. My aim is to help you identify your fitness goals, design an exercise program and a nutrition/ lifestyle program that fits your needs and empower you with the skills needed for lasting change.

“Before I began training, I was worried about my ability to keep up with upper body workouts. My upper back and arms were super weak. I couldn’t even do one pull up. Now I can do 3 pull ups and have baby muscles in my upper back!”

“I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to really commit to training and eating healthy. Once I saw results, it was much easier to stay motivated. James’ positive reinforcement helped me stay focused on the long term effects and this lifestyle change. My original goal when I started was to lose 30 lbs. So far, I’ve lost over 45lbs and feel much stronger. James has slowly helped save my life!”
Josh
“Before I began training with James, I was afraid of trying something and feeling embarrassed if I couldn't do it and just quitting. James made me feel comfortable from Day 1. The sheer amount of encouragement from James kept me motivated through each workout and beyond. I am no longer afraid of using some of the equipment in the weight room and am generally excited when I go in there because it makes me feel tough, and I've never felt tough before. I can also do 10 push ups now!”
