Since being with James I have hit some numbers I didn’t think I would hit. We’ve gone through calls to plan on what works best for me, what he expects out of me and what i expect from him. Down to earth guy and willing to change your life if your willing to work with him! I can’t wait for the cut.”

”I met James in the gym and he asked me to be one of his first clients. Needless to say he was a great coach & we achieved some of the best progress I have ever made. He was never late updating the program and always gave great feedback. One thing that made him go from a good coach to a great coach was his justification on why we were doing something. He takes real pride in his work and cares for his clients. I would without a doubt recommend James as a coach to anyone”.
