After getting to know James both professionally and personally, I can honestly say James is one of the top trainers I have ever met. His commitment to adding value to his own life and those of others shows through how he conducts himself daily and how he treats other people. James has helped me grow as an aspiring personal trainer and has given me an example of the type of person I am working to become.
