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. 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. Because of what I learned through our time together, I now have the tools and confidence to continue my fitness journey on my own.
If you have struggled to meet any of your fitness goals, James is the one to help you not only meet, but surpass them. I have been working with him for the last 4 months and have come farther than I did on my own in the last year.
Training with James has been a game-changer. From day one, he took the time to understand my goals, limitations, and lifestyle, creating a plan that's both challenging and realistic. What sets James apart is not just his deep knowledge of fitness, but his ability to motivate without being pushy, and to push you without making it feel overwhelming. He's consistently positive, professional, and genuinely invested in your progress. Thanks to his coaching, I'm stronger, more confident, and in better shape than I've been in years.
I met James at an extremely low point in my life. I had just lost a pregnancy at 4 months and the depression was almost unbearable. I was 20 pounds overweight, sad, and unmotivated. Fast forward 8 months, and working with James has helped me in so many ways I don't even think he realizes it. Emotionally, I slowly became me again and physically I've never felt better. I've lost 20 pounds — but more importantly I've gained confidence in the gym, muscles I never knew I had and I've made a friend who pushed me and supported me through the most difficult time in my life.
James is an amazing trainer! He's dedicated to your goals as much as you are. If you listen to his advice on your diet and your training your life will change. He's a really good person with a really good heart and he's great at what he does.
James has been an amazing trainer. I have had a lot of past and ongoing injuries, he works to make them strengths. I had back surgery several years ago but am stronger now than I have been in years. He gives me the confidence to do hard things! I've lost over 40 lbs since working with him. Next up is a half marathon. He looks at the whole picture, physical, mindset, and nutritional!
Meet Rachel. She was experiencing a lot of pain in her lower back and shoulders from a car accident. Every time she would try to work out on her own to strengthen it she'd make it worse. She wanted to get healthier, strengthen the areas around her injuries to reduce her pain and lose weight. She's not finished, as she still has goals she wants to accomplish, but man has she come a long way.
I had some experience in the gym before I decided to hire James. I had been working out for over 2 years and my progress had plateaued. Since hiring James, I have seen results and gotten a lot stronger. His program is great for those with workout experience or beginners trying to figure out what to do. Hiring James has been one of the best decisions I've ever made!
James Anderson Ambition has changed my life for the better. Not only physically, but mentally as well. Trust the process and follow his instructions about dieting and working out as closely as possible and the results will show when you give it time. Consistency and time is key. His physical shape and mindset is the proof that you can see with your own eyes. Call him if you're reading this. I fully stand behind his quality of training and knowledge of dieting 100%.
Now there's a transformation. This client changed a lot to get here. A LOT. That's what it takes. She's stronger, leaner, and most importantly happier.
I joined the James Anderson Ambition Fitness team about 5 months ago. All I can say is, LIFE CHANGING. You can feel the love, excitement, and passion that he has for helping people change for the better and reach their goals. James is more than a trainer. He's shown me that I am capable of doing so much more than my mind has limited me to. I've never done a pull up in my life. I never thought I could. I can, and have done many. James is the real deal.
Words can't explain how great I feel nowadays. The inspiration, motivation, and overall success I've received from working with James is just crazy for me. I've been so comfortable with just mediocre results until I was pushed out of that complacency. This goes further than just physical results for me — I'm applying this positive energy to everyday life. This is more than just a business and a trainer, it's a great way to enjoy an hour or so with a friend, a family, a team!
I never thought I could confidently step into a gym before I began training with James. I am stronger than ever because James tailors every session to my goals and motivates me to push myself, even when I think I can't. So far I've lost 40 lbs and counting. If you're looking for someone to ignite a fire in you and help you become physically and mentally fit — this is where you should be going.
I first came across James through a mutual friend, watching the difference she was making sparked my interest! James is one of the most motivating people I have ever met! He's very professional and has been there any time I had a question about my meal plan or working out on my off days. The pictures people post don't do it justice, the confidence you gain from working with him is priceless! I would HIGHLY recommend James to anyone I know!
I was a little apprehensive at first to become a client of James because I was afraid of being judged, but I have never once felt an ounce of judgment. James made me believe I could do whatever I set my mind to and he helps to make workouts fun for me. Not only does James help me with my physical fitness but he helps with my spiritual and mental fitness as well. Working with James has changed my life. I have increased my self-esteem and I am more vision oriented.
The first day I met James Anderson and worked out and he said: "WE can do this"… it meant a lot to me and he was the beginning of my uphill journey towards women's physique bodybuilding competitions. James let me go through what I had to go through but never gave up on me. I'll be forever grateful for his commitment, his love for others, and the experience, strength, and hope he always shared throughout our training.
I started training with James about a year ago. I had started to lose some weight and going to the gym on my own, but I wasn't getting the results I was hoping for. When we started working together I was much weaker and wasn't eating as healthy as I thought I was. James has helped me become the strong confident woman I had always hoped to be. He pushes me and holds me accountable. Couldn't ask for a better trainer!
One of the most motivating people I know. I started my journey with James in April and have definitely felt a big change in my strength, energy and my mobility. Making the choice to message James was one of the scariest and most rewarding things I've ever done for myself, and I'm so glad I did. If you're looking for a personal trainer who has your back and is going to be honest and supportive, then look no further.
James changed my entire mindset!! 14 months ago I was stuck at 207# and flabby. I got with James and my body immediately started changing. I smashed my goals so fast (just wanted to get under 200, got down to 172 with abs!!), that now I'll be competing in my first bodybuilding show this spring!!! (At the age of 46). Working with James has given me a new level of discipline and added a whole new dimension to my life!!
I have always been ashamed of my weight but was never willing to do anything about it. I'm losing weight and feeling better about myself and life. I enjoy going to the gym and the food is actually good. I am so grateful for James and others on the James Anderson Ambition team that keep me accountable.
When I first started working with James I weighed 200 pounds. I am now down to around 160 pounds just after five months. His dedication that he has given me is unlike any other trainer I have ever had. If you are looking to lose weight or just get in shape he is the guy to contact.
James Anderson is more than my coach. He is a true friend and inspiration. I started with James in April of 2018. I actually exceeded those initial goals. I have lost over 50 lbs since James became my coach. Joining his team has become absolutely life-changing for me. It's not just changing your body but it is changing your mindset and lifestyle too. He shows me that anything is possible if you put your mind to it and I absolutely LOVE him for that!
