I have been working out with James now for two summers and have made significant gains throughout that time. I’ve absorbed so much valuable knowledge during that time that has helped me grow as an athlete and excel in the gym. While putting on desired body weight, I have also improved upon my speed, power, and overall strength. As a competitive athlete, injury prevention is equally as important as making gains in the gym, and James has made that a priority. Each summer I surprise myself hitting new personal records in the weight room through James’ programming. It has directly translated into my sport helping me compete at a higher level day in and day out. Working with James has been one of the best decisions I’ve made as an athlete and the results speak for themself.
