I was born and raised in Arizona. I grew up in the small town of Tolleson and attended Tolleson Union High School. After high school, I attended Glendale Community College where I studied Strength and Nutrition Exercise Science.

My high school strength coach noticed that I enjoyed training, especially to coach and train the other athletes even more. Coach Baker advised me to look into becoming either a strength coach or physical therapist. Once I began working with and helping clients, I knew what my passion and calling was. Watching my own results and progress is nice, but watching my clients’ progress is what I wake up for in the morning.

My main goal with my clients is to help them find what truly makes them happy. Health is not all about shredded abs or huge arms. It is more about developing discipline and committing to a process of change. I love working with clients who not only want to improve their health, but also clients who want to further their career, personal life, finances and all other aspects of life! Your vibe attracts your tribe!

My philosophy is education first. My clients get a full in-depth education on form, technique, and physiology of the body. Once my clients learn form and technique, we then progress into resistance training with barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, body weight, and machine based exercises.

I was first introduced to the fitness industry in 2007 as a sales lead for a local gym. Shortly after I began working in the gym I became a certified personal trainer and I began the journey of aiding others in their health and fitness goals. I was fortunate enough to work part-time and build a clientele, while I also pursued my education. As I explored different specialties within personal training and found corrective exercise/rehabilitation to be my calling.

My philosophy focuses on delivering a safe, effective, and engaging exercise program while simultaneously empowering clients through knowledge, guidance, and support. Exercise programs are tailored to the physical/functional needs and goals of an individual. As an educator, my mission is to aid clients in optimizing their quality of life not only in the gym, but in everyday life as well.

James’ experience ranges from corporate training and team management in “big-box” gyms, to growing brick & mortar facilities and mentoring new trainers, to working independently with VIP clients in Tucson, Phoenix and Chicago. With 18 years as a Personal Trainer, Stretch & Massage Therapist, and a Health Coach, his wide skillset range in the fitness industry means that each session will always have something new to learn.

Meeting clients where they are is the pinnacle of focus for James’ coaching - Every day is different, but showing up and knowing what you have to give each time should remain constant. These are the three key factors of his philosophy:

• Conditioning: “Cardio comes from either being deconditioned or reconditioned” James focuses on what your lungs can’t already handle from your body, so 30 minutes of walking on the treadmill is out - it’s already a learned skill. Try side shuffling for that time and see where it goes.
• Progression: “If you’re building an empire, start on solid ground” He’ll pick off your weak points with you first to create a stable and able body, then optimize your movements in the next phase - easy to moderate to hard is what you’ll see consistently when you train with James; you’ll know you’re getting better within the workout.
• Lifestyle: “Move well, move often, move more” The end goal of training is not to make you workout better, it’s to get you better at doing what makes you happy and healthy! Your training will be programmed to get you there.
