Testimonials

Joe Nickel

Having trained in a sporting context and competed in my sport to Commonwealth level, I was looking for a new challenge, and chose bodybuilding. Over the past seven years James has taught me that it is a lifestyle and to make maximum gains takes total commitment. I am no longer concerned with how much I can lift but more with the form, tempo and intensity of each exercise and understand how bodybuilding programming differs from strength and conditioning work. I have made phenomenal gains but the new suits are getting expensive!

I have always kept myself in shape but had problems keeping weight off even when I was training, I had tried various diets but to no avail. James's knowledge of nutrition and how it affects not only our weight but more importantly our hunger has made all the difference. I lost over 12kg on a ketogenic diet which he designed and monitored. I could still eat most of the foods I loved but it kept my hunger and mood stable unlike my previous attempts. Even though I was losing weight I still felt energised in my weight sessions.

I was fit and active before the birth of my son and wanted to lose a little weight and get myself back in shape. James concentrated on postnatal exercises, especially on my core which I felt had been weakened through my pregnancy. The private studio means sometimes I can take my son with me and can push myself that little bit harder. The sessions are always intense and hard work but fun and I feel much stronger and more energetic. Keeping to the diet advice is really hard as I have a sweet tooth, but it has made me plan my meals more healthily.

Getting ready for my wedding was my original objective, this involved losing some weight (or fat) and muscle toning. James designed a complete program for me to do with him and at the my gym alone. I soon realised how much time I had wasted doing ineffective exercises my gym, just doing things I found easy. I trained hard under James's tuition and followed his dietary guidelines and the results were fantastic. I enjoy training in the privacy of his studio as I can feel self conscious training at the gym especially in the weight room.

I wanted to lose fat and gain muscle, but have never even been to a gym before. My attempts at losing body fat before have always left me putting it back on again. James makes me do lots of research so we can have in depth conversations about diet and I have already lost 10 kg. I understand now what I must do to keep it off. The weight training is harder than I had ever imagined but I can see the change it has made to my body and my strength has increased phenomenally. Its a lot of work but worth it.

Sandy Jarvis

Having lower back problems I wanted to find a experienced personal trainer with the knowledge to teach me how to lift heavy weights safely. I'd always been concerned about squatting and deadlifting, but James simplifies them and breaks them down so my technique and confidence was built up session by session. I have gained a practical understanding of the mechanics of each lift and tips ensure I keep my back supported. My program now includes lots of different movements and I have never injured my back.

Results will vary and are based on individual circumstances and commitment. Timeframes for results are not guaranteed. Hard work and willpower are always required.
