"What can I say you are an excellent personal trainer because of your encouraging attitude, honesty, and patience when teaching and giving. Clients trust that with your help we can obtain our goals. Your giving your all helped me to know I can do the exercises you taught me throughout my life. You are a winner and one of my biggest cheerleaders as I continue on my bariatric weight loss journey. You deserve all the praise."

"I came to James with a 20 year history of physical inactivity and was termed grossly overweight by my doctor.  When I began training with James, he had to take me from a place of having absolutely no knowledge of how to work out or train to a place that I never knew existed.  From the very first his knowledge, integrity, patience, and teaching skills created an environment that made me feel very comfortable and safe.   Six months later, I am 3 dress sizes smaller, 35 pounds lighter, and have muscle definition that I don’t recall having even in high school.  My stamina and energy levels have dramatically increased.

 As I became physically stronger, other surprising changes began to follow:  I found I was also seeing changes on the inside.  As I became more confident about the things I was able to accomplish physically, it gave me both the growing self-assurance and motivation to accomplish challenges in other areas of my life.  James didn't just help to change the shape and overall health of my body, but helped me to see that the choices that I make every hour of every day determine who I am as a woman, a mother, and a wife. Change doesn't happen overnight and most of life doesn't hang on the "big" decisions. It’s the little choices every day that make us who we are; and James was there day-by-day, incrementally guiding me toward a new path.

 James delivered on his promise that he would teach me how to train ‘smarter, not harder’ in a way that I know I can continue to maintain.  The work was at times challenging - yet so rewarding.  There are few things in my life that I can point to that I am prouder of than the work James and I have done together.  No goal, professional, personal, or spiritual seems unattainable to me now.

 Working with James has had not only a profound impact upon my life, but has had a ripple effect through my friends, family and co-workers.  People seeing my dramatic metamorphosis have taken steps to take their own health in hand.  Co-workers want to know what I’m doing to look so good; old high school friends ask for my input on how to eat healthy; my daughter's friends think I am her younger sister. But best of all...is my son.  Once dangerously inactive and overweight, my eldest has begun his own road to improving his health. Having seen the impact of the choices his mother has made, he has begun his own journey to health and has lost more than 30 pounds to date. He now sees that by taking better care of himself, he is taking better care of his wife and three children.

I’m ecstatic about the fact that I’ve lost 3 dress sizes and 35 pounds in the six months I’ve worked out with James – but it is also the other unforeseen benefits that have made training so worthwhile.  

 Thank you for being a fitness trainer, mentor, life coach, and friend, James.  I would never have gotten here without you."
