    By training with James I was able to get to the level of fitness and health I've always chased after, in just a couple of months. With James I learned how to best train for my body and how to take care of myself while doing it, and I was finally able to get in great shape. I've taken hundreds of workout classes and trained with other trainers and gyms, and nothing was ever as individualized as working with James. Thank you so much!
