Over the years, I've tried a lot of
different activities in the name of
health and challenging myself
(including becoming a vegan for 2
years and running a marathon), but I
secretly always hoped it would give
me that cover of Runners World
physique. It didn't! Eventually, I
had accepted that no matter how hard
I worked, my body was naturally just
oddly shaped and that I was fit and
that's just good enough considering
I was still in much better shape
than most of the people I knew.
I
honestly was blown away by the
results that I saw in just the first
3 weeks of training with Larry! In
addition to helping me get rid of my
butt, Larry has been helping me
correct posture issues that I wasn't
even aware of eliminating knee pain
I had occasionally gotten from
running for the past 4 years.
He
has a very in-depth knowledge of
kinesiology and nutrition and has
explained away many of the myths
from those bizarre fad diets and
exercise routines we try to ignore
but that somehow get into our heads
anyway. Probably the most valuable
thing I've learned from Larry and
Jason is
that staying in great shape isn't
nearly as time consuming as I had
imagined it would be. I only wish
I'd known this 10 years ago when I
was working so hard for half of the
results.

Sophia
before and now - time: 4 weeks |
For years I have used the Stairmaster
which has allowed me to eat basically what I want and not gain
weight. Yet, as a mother of two and closing in on my 44th
birthday, I noticed that my body had lost much of its tone. So, as a
special gift to myself, I decided to jumpstart my body by losing a
little weight while firming it up, yet I knew I needed help.
Through a Google search I found Jason. After our first
meeting, I felt I could put my health and fitness goals into his
hands, his enthusiasm and professionalism had me sold. He put
me on a rigorous program that included nutrition, cardio and
weights. He explained how all three are essential ingredients in
achieving a higher and healthier state of fitness.
Because weight
training is one important part of this program, he put me in touch with an
excellent trainer, Debby McKnight, who works out of a gym closer to my home.
She has a background in professional bodybuilding. She’s extremely
knowledgeable and dedicated. She is also hands on which I truly
appreciated. She made sure I was using proper body form while working out,
not only to avoid injury, but to also give the targeted muscles the best
workout possible.
Their support
and expertise was invaluable in helping me not only achieve my short term
goals but also create healthy lifestyle changes that will benefit me for the
rest of my life. Thanks you two!

I decided to invest in a personal trainer to
help me lose the weight I gained in college. I chose James because he has
the complete package as a personal trainer. I didn't want someone that
was just going to help me lose the fat temporarily. James taught me how
to improve my current body and how to maintain it for life. He was
realistic about my goals and so motivating with regards to healthy
living. It truly was an investment because I understand what I was doing
wrong and now I know what is correct. Now I am very fit the happiest I
have been with my image which to me is priceless!

"After working with several trainers
prior to James, I was discouraged with the lack of results. When a
friend referred me to James I decided to give it one more try. I
was surprised to find that after working with him for only a
couple weeks that I was already seeing progress and that I was actually
enjoying working out again. James and I have been working out on a
regular basis now for over a year and the results are amazing. Just like
my friend recommended that I use James as my trainer, I am recommending
to anyone else who is in need of a new routine to give him a call."
-Shawn Preisler, COO, Cedar Creek Securities
In the first four months
I worked with James, I made significant progress.
My body fat declined by
over 4%, while my lean body mass and overall weight increased from 165 to
170 pounds.
Aside from improving my
lifts and cardiovascular endurance, my clothes fit better. People on an
unsolicited basis commented about the change in my appearance. James is
personable, dependable, and motivating.
-Mark Chaplin, Encino

My
relationship with James has been very positive and beneficial. His
passion for health and fitness shines through while he is instructing
others and it motivates his clients to do their best. James is very
approachable and personable, not intimidating in the slightest way. I
consider him an unsurpassed expert in the field of fitness and strength
training. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind-hearted and
safety-oriented. He is also intellectually curious; we discuss nutrition
and fitness topics on a physician's level on a regular basis. James has
an outstanding willingness to learn and then to pass that knowledge onto
others.
-Dr.
Edward Young, M.D. |
 I've
known James for a few years now and his Knowledge of bodybuilding as
well as nutrition and Fitness is superior because of his real life
experience of trial and error as a competitive top natural bodybuilder.
No one would be better in helping you achieve your fitness goals.
