Tooting My Own Horn
I’m a NYC-based personal trainer who connects research to practical application in order to exceed my client’s expectations. Prior to becoming a personal trainer in 2013, I was an USPTA Professional Level Tennis Coach. At that turn, I knew that understanding human movement, exercise physiology, strength training, and corrective exercise would be pivotal to my client’s success and to be honest – there are a small percent of personal trainers who would take those steps to invest in themselves.
I’ve earned an MS in Exercise Science (Wellness & Fitness) from CALU & NASM certifications as a Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES) and Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES). Currently pursuing my second MS in Exercise Science (Strength & Conditioning) from ECU. My passion and expertise allows me to work with a diverse set of clients regardless of their limitations.

WHAT MY CLIENTS RAVE ABOUT
My commitment to a healthier lifestyle & James’ expertise equaled tangible change and satisfaction. I’ve never been in better shape; I feel more confident stronger, and healthier.
Shermaine Lee
The experience was better than going to any Equinox or other overpriced gym. People noticed I had lost weight and my wife noticed it considerably.
Dan Mandel
Everything James did exceeded my expectations and completely floored me. I can now deadlift 230 lbs, squat 185 lbs, leg press 500, and I’m just getting started. Thank you for forever changing my life.
Dorcas Carlos
I now have the tools and confidence to succeed in the gym. From body weight to free weights, I now know proper form leads to long-term success.
Charlie Tingen
After struggling with the health issues and deciding on a lifestyle change that best suited my needs I was a bit lost on the macro ratio but thankfully James was able to provide guidance and in the past 2 months I have seen more changes than before.
Sofia Rodriguez
In a little over 5 months, I’ve lost 5 inches around my waist, an inch off my thighs and arms, 3.5 inches off my hips, dropped 6.5 points off BMI and dropped 14.3% body fat!
Jada-Lee McGill
James is super motivating and ups the ante in terms of difficulty and complexity in ways that are challenging but sensible and tailored to where I am at each workout. He totally knows what he is doing – his focus and concentration are incredible.
