I am a 45 year old business executive who has worked with James for about 12 months. The experience has been fantastic. Like many people I had gone from being active and in shape while in college to the guy who gained 30 extra pounds while raising a family and building a business. James has been able to challenge me in a way that keeps me committed and has brought out the competitive fire in me. I have lost 20 pounds in about a year but more importantly I feel great and I now look forward to my next work out. Additionally, I was someone who had a daily struggle with a bad back which has not bothered me in more than 6 months. I cannot recommend James highly enough.
