BEFORE & AFTER
Tom, 41
From Dad body to Beach Body! 7 Months training with James.
A week before my 41st birthday I looked in the mirror and decided that enough was enough! My wife treated me to some training sessions with TrainWithJames and it was the best present I could have got.
He’s very encouraging, and a good laugh… and I’m a sweaty mess at the end of each session.
I’ve followed his nutritional and exercise advice (cut out pasta, bread and booze) for 8 weeks and I’ve lost nearly 2 stone so far… and it’s actually been a pleasure!
Thanks James! I’ve not felt healthier since my twenties 🙂

BEFORE & AFTER
Mark aged 61.
2 stone lighter and looking years younger!
Working with James for last 5 months. Lost just over 2 stone. See him twice per week. Yes, it’s demanding but as it says on the gym wall “it’s being hard that makes it great”. Plenty of variation in our work and James makes it fun too. We do work with weights despite me thinking it would be all cardio as my goal was purely weight loss. I can see muscle building and fat disappearing. Can’t recommend James highly enough.

BEFORE & AFTER
Debbie
I started with James 8 months ago – I’ve lost just over 2 1/2 stone- 17 kilos and still losing!
1 year training, 20 kilos dropped!!
[Jamie] I loved training Debbie – we always had fun. She always tried her hardest, and it was amazing to see someone lose 20 kilos and gain so much confidence. The weight loss revealed her natural athletic physique, and enabled her to be more active in everyday life.

BEFORE & AFTER
Kirsty, 51.
14 kilos dropped!
I have never had a personal trainer before and never done weights, so this has all been new to me but 8 weeks in and I have lost 1.5 stone. I am so much stronger and fitter – it’s been amazing. James has offered dietary advice and kept me motivated, I haven’t had any injuries – he always checks I’m doing exercises the right way and he always pushes me that little bit further but not too much to put me off. So happy with everything, I’m a complete fan and will be carrying on!
