Hi there,

I'm James a Personal Trainer from the Midlands. I am passionate about helping people to achieve health and wellness. I currently specialise in helping autistic adults achieve weight loss, improve their confidence and mental wellbeing.

My own journey first began with traditional martial arts. It helped me discover discipline, strength and internal health. It was a great starting point to create the will power to achieve other things. I could see how exercise is a medicine that made me feel happier and stronger. A tool I could use to release any stress and cultivate a discipline to be happier.

I enjoy training every day in some way as part of a healthy and positive routine. I love running, Muay Thai, Brazillian Jiujitsu, Yoga and meditation practice. I really enjoy hiking in nature and a good book to pass the time.

It took me 3 years to qualify as a Level 3 Trainer and a further 2 years to gain my GP referral and Level 4 qualifications. None of my qualifications came over night or easy. I have industry experience of working in public gyms and with my own personal clients. I'm currently working with autistic adults improve their health and well-being. I hope to help all people, and myself, reach their fullest potential.
