A Bit About Me
I am a passionate and energetic Fitness Professional with extensive experience instructing in group settings. I love motivating participants in my classes and inspiring them to transform their lives through the power of exercise. I am skilled in pre-choreographed and freestyle group classes that include strength, boxing, HIIT and Reformer Pilates fundamentals.
While working in full time corporate employment, I am currently focussed on teaching Reformer Pilates and HIIT. I am about to complete my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training and also have a deep interest in Ayurvedic principles. As a Pitta dosha type, I am looking forward to specialising in Yin Yoga and bringing cool and calm to my members in a world characterised by non-stop connection and stress.
My motivation is creating memorable fitness experiences to help people enjoy what they are doing and keep them coming back for more!

James is an amazing and valued instructor on my team. Always going above on beyond not only for his team but the members of the gym as well. You can see in James that he loves what he does and wants to beat for his member and to get the best out of his classes.

James is a wonderful instructor. Knowledgeable, motivating, fun, professional and everyone works harder with him in the room.
Any club or member are privileged to have him as their instructor. He will stand out from the crowd for all the best reasons and his member numbers will soon show that.
The preparation and care that goes into his classes is obvious, along with the banter and connection with each member.
Go James!! 😁

James is of the rare breed of instructors who does it out of pure love and passion. He brings out the sunshine even at the bleakest of winter mornings. His fun-loving spirit radiates and encourages all those around him, making James the gym buddy who everyone wants to befriend.
James’s passion and no-BS attitude not only inspires people to go the extra mile in their workouts, but also changes their view on what a healthy lifestyle is - exercise is not a choir but a fun part of life.
I look forward to many more training sessions with James in the future.

James is an awesome coach. Always full of life an fun. I always enjoyed my classes with him even when I was tired he would pull that energy out of me to complete the class.
With my on going back injury he was always mindful of safety and proper form.
I would highly recommend James as a coach for anyone that wants to have fun while being motivated to work really hard and to maximise the results you are trying achieve.
