Due to James exceptional training, I was able to capture the ‘Top Athlete’ award in my graduating class and even set a Canadian Forces fitness record for basic training. His knowledge, drive and commitment to his students is like nothing I have ever experienced. James is a no non-sense, hard-working guy who can clearly deliver results, whether you are recovering from an injury, an athlete, or starting your career.

I appreciate that James is committed to lifelong learning and is continually experimenting with and implementing new techniques. James' passion for training and fitness is infectious! I dare you not to get hooked. I'm doing things at the gym that I never thought I was capable of doing . . . after only six months! Best lifestyle change I've ever made.

To say that James takes his job very seriously and that it is his life’s passion would be an understatement. He is always thinking about effective ways to shape his clients into strong, mobile and stable beings and does so in a way that is personal to each. Working with James has taught me to watch how bodies move (or don’t move for that matter!) and to cue effectively for correction in a way that is understandable and feasible to each client and their learning processes.

James has shown me a whole different side and style of working out. He taught me that you do not need to run yourself to the ground to see results. You really can enjoy your workouts and you can finish with much more energy than when you started.

James really focuses on quality over quantity, which for me has increased my strength level, my confidence, and my appreciation for trainers. He tailors every workout to meet each person's individual needs and ensures that he gives us the feedback necessary to do the best we can do.

James met me day 1 of our SFG certification. We partnered up and kicked ass for three days. Without him, I’m not sure how well I would have done. He was there every step of the way cueing me, pushing me, making sure I was doing my best and doing it right. He taught me more and was there more than our Team Assistants. I can’t say enough about him and there are no words that describe his level of commitment and knowledge.

My own clients have a better trainer today cause of the training I've experienced with James!

I don't often give compliments and rarely ever impressed by most trainers because I've been training so long but James definitely surprised me. He tackled all of my problem areas like a mathematical equation, breaking down every PL exercise in sequences and steps which made it easy to see where my strengths and weaknesses were.

He was amazing at assessing what I could and couldn't do and what I needed to do to regain flexibility, strength and over all fitness. He worked with me using a variety of stretching and strengthens exercises.

I had previously thought that a trainer was someone who simply put you through workouts and gave you results. I was so sorely wrong. I realize now that a trainer, a real trainer, is someone who is there to help you gain the confidence, knowledge and experience to become accountable for your own health and fitness. A real trainer helps you gain the confidence to form your own goals, and teaches you the skills to help you reach them. Training with James has taught me that strength is truly a skill, something you practice so you can progress.

Not only did I feel great running, I didn’t experience the exhaustion and soreness during or after the run like I have in past years. Training with James has made me stronger physically and mentally. He has given me great nutritional tips that I can easily incorporate into my meal planning. I have better posture and I’m more toned and confident than I ever was before. James’s encouragement and positive attitude has kept me going and has changed my outlook on working out. The workouts are tough, but not impossible, and he makes them fun. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work and you can tell he loves passing it on to others. I would definitely recommend James to anyone looking to improve his or her fitness.

For me being an amputee, when I first came to James, I could honestly say I was scared. Scared to see what I could do and what I couldn’t do. Me, growing up being a stubborn kid, I just liked to go full out on everything, but some days I couldn’t, and James was there helping me pace myself. He not only helped trained me, but he pretty much helped build me back to the athletic boy I was earlier in my life.
