Fellow trainer learning new ways to correct

I have had the pleasure of working alongside of James as a trainer as well as under his guidance as a trainee. 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.

I have been resistance training for many years and thought I knew how to perform most exercises and movements with great form. Working with James as a trainee has uncovered muscle imbalances and poor movement patterns in my body that I didn’t even know existed. Relearning most of the basic exercises under James’ watchful eye proved both humbling and exciting as I was encouraged to perform in a way that was both safe, effective and results based. I watched my body slowly change. I started to develop more muscle definition, I lost body fat and saw strength gains that I didn’t know were possible. I can honestly say that at 38 years old and with many years of hard exercise under my belt that I am the leanest and the strongest I have ever been. With James there is tough love but there is always praise, a combination that is necessary for any client to succeed.

I feel blessed to have James Demuynck in my corner as a colleague, trainer and friend. I would recommend him to anybody who is looking for true, personal guidance and results. His professionalism, preparedness, skill and knowledge far surpass many in this industry.
