Real fitness for real life – strength, energy and confidence for 30+
If you’re juggling family life, work and everything in between – and you’re starting to feel the physical toll – you’re not alone. I work with people just like you: busy, motivated and ready to invest in their long-term health, not just a short-term fix.
With years of experience running bootcamps and coaching in sport, I know how to motivate and support people of all levels. My approach is simple but powerful: smart, safe and sustainable training that gives you more energy, more strength and more confidence, without the soreness and burnout.
You’re not training for six-pack selfies. You’re training to keep up with your kids, stay strong at work, travel without aches and move well for decades to come.
How I Help
Whether you’re returning to fitness, starting from scratch or just need a better way forward, I’ll guide you every step of the way with:
Clear, structured sessions that respect your time and ability
A focus on movement quality, posture and long-term health
Strength training that builds resilience and prevents injury
Habit-based nutrition coaching that works in real life
Scalable workouts tailored to your starting point
A supportive environment where you’re never just another member
I offer 1-to-1 personal training and small group coaching (max 4 people), so you get personal attention, accountability and support without the pressure or chaos of a big class.
Is This You?
You’re 30+ and want to stay active, mobile and strong
You’ve tried before, but life got in the way or it just didn’t stick
You want a coach who understands your life, your goals and your limits
You want to move better, feel better and live with more energy
If that sounds familiar, I’d love to work with you.
My Coaching Covers:
Weight loss and long-term weight management
Building strength, fitness and confidence
Posture, movement and core strength improvement
Boosting energy and reducing everyday stress
Nutrition coaching and diet habit change
Scalable training for beginners through to advanced athletes
Functional fitness, weightlifting, kettlebells and circuits
Building sustainable routines that fit busy lives
If you’re ready to stop starting over and finally build a body that supports your life – not just your workouts – I’m here to help.
Let’s Start with a Chat
No pressure, no expectations – just a conversation about your goals and how I can help. If it feels like the right fit, you’re welcome to try a free personal training session. It’s a great step towards a stronger, healthier you.

James has really helped me to improve my fitness and understand how to build strength. I’ve noticed such a difference in my fitness particularly after the HITT work outs, and I always enjoy his training sessions! 10/10

Great PT, really supportive and approachable made a massive difference to how I work out! Having done regular exercise for years, I started training with James and saw a massive difference in results/ body shape and strength. I really enjoyed the weights/hitt training which i had never really done before! Thanks again!

James has been really helpful at building my confidence at the gym - particularly focusing on strength training and weights, something that has really scared me up till now! He’s helped me prioritise exercise and we’ve discussed my nutrition, and I’ve never felt fitter. Thanks James!
