Training with James has been a real game changer when preparing for Hyrox. His coaching is thoughtful, supportive, and every session has a purpose.
I’ve seen genuine improvements in my strength, fitness, and confidence, and I feel far more prepared both physically and mentally going into tough workouts. James is truly invested in your progress, and it really shows. I couldn’t recommend him more.

I’ve been training with James for a while now, and I can honestly say he’s one of the best personal trainers I’ve worked with. Every session is structured, challenging, and tailored perfectly to my goals. He has a great way of pushing you to your limit while still keeping the training enjoyable and positive.
James is incredibly knowledgeable, especially when it comes to technique and form. He takes the time to explain each exercise clearly and makes sure everything is done safely and correctly — which makes a huge difference in both confidence and results.
What sets James apart is his professionalism, his patience, and the genuine motivation he brings to every session. He’s supportive, easy to work with, and creates an environment where you feel comfortable but still driven to improve.
If you’re looking for a trainer who is dedicated, skilled, and truly invested in your progress, I highly recommend James.

I worked with James for about 18 months only having to leave due to injury . James is a fantastic coach and I would highly recommend him , he has a great knowledge of training and recovery and helped me considerably. It’s not until you work with someone like James that you realise why you need a coach and you should have got him to help you ages ago .

I’ve been training with James for nearly eight months and can’t recommend him highly enough. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about training and nutrition, and takes a really personalised approach. He’s been amazing at adapting my workouts around a shoulder injury and working alongside my physio. On top of that, he’s warm, supportive, and genuinely cares about his clients’ progress.

James is an outstanding personal trainer and truly one of the best I’ve worked with. He is incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in his clients’ success. Every workout is thoughtfully planned, challenging, and was tailored to my goals and abilities. James always pushes you in the best way while always prioritising proper form and safety. His positive energy, encouragement, and consistency make training something I actually looked forward to. Thanks to James, I’ve gotten stronger, more confident, and more disciplined in my fitness routine. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for real results and a trainer who truly cares.

Training with James has genuinely changed my life. I started feeling stuck, low on confidence, and unsure where to even begin. James is a ray of sunshine who was so supportive and motivating. Sessions are always challenging but fun, and I’ve never once felt judged - only encouraged. Not only am I stronger and fitter than I’ve ever been, but my mindset has completely shifted. I now enjoy training and really push myself to be stronger !! If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares, I couldn’t recommend James enough.

I’ve been working with James for nearly eight months and couldn’t recommend him more highly. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and clearly very talented at what he does, not just with training and exercise but also nutrition and the wider, ever-evolving health space.
James takes a truly personalised approach - he’s been brilliant at helping me manage a shoulder injury, carefully tailoring my workouts and incorporating exercises from my physio. I’ve always felt listened to and confident that I’m training safely and effectively.
On top of that, he’s such a warm, supportive, and encouraging person to work with. I’ve made huge progress with him and always look forward to our sessions.

James is a highly competent trainer who instills confidence in clients striving to achieve their physical training objectives. He is an exceptional motivator, consistently inspiring individuals to exceed their perceived limits. A primary factor in selecting James as a personal training instructor is his composed and assured coaching approach. He demonstrates remarkable patience, prioritizes client safety, and provides immediate corrective feedback regarding equipment usage.
I highly recommend James esp for physical training development.

I highly recommend James esp for physical training development.
I've worked with James for nearly a year and he is a fantastic trainer! Always prepared, motivating, and knowledgeable. I can honestly say I've never done the same session twice, each time we train he has new ideas which really helps to keep me motivated. I’ve gotten stronger and feel more confident in the gym. Highly recommend!
