I’ve been going to James since late 2023.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started working with James a year before my wedding with one goal in mind: to lean out and feel confident in my own skin on one of the most important days of my life. Thanks to his incredible support, guidance, and expertise, I ended up losing 30 pounds along the way. He pushed me even when I felt like giving up, always reminding me to trust the process. Beyond the workouts, he took the time to educate me on how my body works, the importance of nutrition and calories, and how to make smart, sustainable choices that fit my lifestyle. What truly sets him apart is not just his knowledge, but how kind, personable, and encouraging he is. He’s the type of person you’re genuinely grateful to have in your life—someone who believes in you, even when you’re struggling to believe in yourself. Because of what I learned through our time together, I now have the tools and confidence to continue my fitness journey on my own. I couldn’t be more thankful. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to make a real, lasting change—with someone who genuinely cares about your success.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I was a member at a gym but was looking for a more personable experience. I googled personal trainers in my area and came across James. I read the reviews and they all spoke very highly of him. I gave him a try and its been great ever since. I am much stronger and more conscience of my diet (most of the time 😄) We tend to invest in lots of things but one of our biggest investments should be our body. James is great and I highly recommend his services.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started working with James to try and lose weight and get more comfortable going to the gym by myself. James is non-judgmental and committed to teaching clients proper form to avoid injury. The nutrition information he provided made is super easy to incorporate into my everyday routine. I’m down 35 pounds, have more energy, visible muscle definition, and go to the gym multiple days a week now. I highly recommend James to anyone looking to invest in their health and wellness!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was wondering what Anderson Ambition could do for me that I couldn't do for myself. Turns out it was a lot. His nutrition plan and workout plan sent me from amateur to (somewhat) expert of my own health and wellbeing. Down about 30 lbs. In 2 months.
