"I started personal training with James in May 2008 as a way to gain weight and improve my strength and fitness levels, which to be honest were pretty poor!  Straight away James said he would be able to help me achieve what I wanted and I started training with him in the gym lifting weights twice a week.  He's kept the training varied so I would never know what to expect from a session and most importantly he's kept encouraging me and made training with him fun.  As someone who had never lifted weights before we started out on light weights to build up some initial strength before progressing onto heavier weights and having lots of fun with kettlebells - which really shakes weight training up!

 

When, in December, I decided to enter the Reading Half Marathon, which was only three months away, he drew up a training program for me to build me up from someone who could barely run at all to someone who has run 13.1 miles!  All through my training for the half marathon James has been instrunmental at keeping me motivated and encouraging me when my legs have wanted to pack up!  He also mixed up my runs with interval training to improve my recovery times, which really helped a lot on the day, as I ran much quicker than I was expecting and finished the run in just over 2 hours!

 

Since meeting James a year ago I've gone from being an inactive couch potato to someone who is not only fitter, stronger and overall healthier, but also someone who has been able to run a half marathon - and this has all been down to the expert instruction and constant encouragement of James."
