“If you have struggled with diets, portion sizes and exercise, James has a plan for you. The best thing about the entire program was the ease of following it. The meal plan was extensive but varied and the exercise program was easy to follow. The hardest part was finding the time to prep, but once that was done, the rest was much easier.

The facts and tips that James gives throughout our time together made so much sense. One meal which doesn't follow the plan is not going to ruin the whole journey. If an event was coming up, what can you do in order to limit the damage.

The weekly check-ins and follow ups keeps you in the zone. I have been able to have great results, even though I am in Hong Kong. Not to mention, I feel more energized more often. I used to hit a 'wall' at work, but was not getting that feeling until bedtime.

Thank you so much James. I have enjoyed this stage of my journey and look forward to the next chapter. I definitely would not be in the place I am at the moment; physically and mindset, without your guidance and professionalism.

I have recommended James to some of my friends here in HK and if I ever need nutrition and training support again, I know where I will go!”

I have worked with many other online coaches in the past, and participated in some of James' small group Challenges. However, I felt I needed extra support, accountability and education, so I decided to join 1:1 Coaching and I am so happy I did.

I have a new understanding of my body, a new focus on sleep and movement and am also down a few kgs. Because of James, I also now have appreciation for consistency and hard work over time to get results, balanced with living a real life and eating/drinking the things I enjoy.

If you are considering working with James, absolutely do it. It’s an investment in yourself and your future.

Working with James was a great and beneficial experience.

My focus was to be in better overall shape and improve my week-to-week diet and training, all of which I did successfully. Over a 12 week period all my measurements went down, my performance went up but most importantly my habits with food and knowledge with food improved significantly. I feel confident and competent to manage my training, my diet and my psychological approach to both.

Regardless of what you are trying to achieve, James knows his stuff and better yet knows how to make it work for you as an individual. I highly recommend working with James.

“ I have learnt so much about myself. I have really started to heal my relationship with my body and am at the point where i can enjoy food without feeling guilty but i also have the tools to be able to find that balance and moderation without going “all or nothing”.

James has helped me in more ways than one and i will forever be grateful. James has a very realistic approach to coaching and doesn’t make you cut out certain food groups or tell you can’t eat certain foods-he gives you the reigns so that you can take control and learn along the way.

“I've been working with James for 7 months now, both through a bulking phase and then a group lean phase. Our together was so valuable and I learnt innumerable things not just about my own body but overall nutrition, body science and psychology to name a few. Knowledge that will carry me in good stead for a long while.

James is a literal fanatic about what he does and it rubs off. You can't help but get carried away with his passion, and it makes you want to work your ass of to give back what he gives to you.

Oh and as an added bonus, yes, I did see real results for the first time in 8 or so years of going to the gym, putting on 10kgs in 6 months, like it was nothing, followed by trimming off the unwanted fat that came along with this, in a completely painless 6 week shred. Stoked. Thanks very much mate! Till next time.”

“ James has changed my life. Food was always an unknown, and a scary thing before. I’d tried multiple ‘programs’ and diets, and had lost weight. But I was obsessed with food, hungry and always stressed about eating the ‘wrong’ thing or ‘not doing enough.

James has provided me with the skills and knowledge to be able to eat healthily, and have a positive relationship with food. I learnt lifelong skills and completely changed my ‘all or nothing’ attitude.

I not only lost weight and centimetres, but more importantly, I feel good. I feel comfortable and happy and like I can continue this for life (with a few maintenance checks along the way!).

James, Thank you so much! You’re amazing. “

“Genuinely life changing for me.

After working with James I have now got a clear understanding of how my body reacts to what I eat and how to properly structure my diet to suit what I am doing, be that looking to trim down more, maintain, or even load up a bit during footy season for more energy. I have still been able to eat all the food I've always enjoyed and have actually found my taste and what I crave eating has changed dramatically over the period. I now am as light as I was when I was 19-20 years old and as physically fit as I've ever been running around 50kms per week now. My training habits, nutrition motivation, Energy and personal view of myself is as good as I can remember it and am keen to keep improving and getting more and more out of myself. Can not recommend this service more to anyone really struggling to get the results they want.”

Since working with James I now no longer stress about food. I know how much my body needs to get through the day, and I've gotten better at discerning when I actually need food, as opposed to when I'm really trying to fulfill an emotion need. I've also learned so much about food and nutrition as a science, so I understand the "why" behind what a healthy diet can look like. And I've become a much better cook!

Plus let’s not forget the exciting changes in how my body looks. I can now see the results of all my hard work, and, for the first time in years, I feel strong, confident and sexy in my skin.

The best part is that I've learned how to make sustainable, long-term changes to my life. I can do this forever. I don't feel like I've given anything up, I don't feel like I'm missing out.

Kate

“ I came to James frustrated at the lack of results I was getting despite what felt like an enormous amount of effort I was investing! I was hardly eating, frequently getting sick, I felt gross, and my confidence was progressively getting worse.

If I’m honest, I was dubious of James’ initial recommendations. We increased calories so that I was eating more food, and we decreased the amount of cardio I was doing and started a more structured resistance training program. Within weeks of increasing calories, and working on diet quality I felt soooo much better. Not only were my energy levels up but my weight stayed much the same while I visibly reduced body fat. My strength sky rocketed and alongside it my confidence began to climb too.

I also learnt how to include meals out, and balance eating for my goals and having a social life.

If you’re struggling with your body composition, I honestly think this is one of the best things you could do for yourself!”

“When I contacted James I was suffering from fatigue, had no real nutritional structure, had gained weight I’d previously lost and was struggling to lose it.

I felt like I’d tried everything. I’d previously tried fasting and keto, plus a few other programs. But always struggled with finding a sustainable approach.

During our time together I was able to return to my previous measurements and lose body fat while maintaining my strength and performance. On top of this I didn’t have to skip any events or forgo social meals. I learnt how to balance eating for my goals but enjoying life at the same time.

I honestly can’t tell you enough how happy with the results I am and how confident I feel moving forward!”

“Before working with James I was struggling with losing the fat I’d gained during pregnancy. I’d try for 1-2 weeks before losing losing motivation and regaining any weight lost.

With James I easily lost over 7kg. I moved from a sedentary lifestyle to an active lifestyle. Playing outside more with my daughter, gardening more, enjoyed hikes outside more, got the dogs out of the backyard more and discovered my love of boxing. I spent less money when eating out and beat gluttony that I used to own. I also learnt a lot about serving sizes and how I was eating double sometimes triple of what I was supposed to.

I’m now keen to go out and flaunt my new physique (without sounding arrogant!) just pride. The knowledge gained I can use lifelong and not just within the program.”

Alyce M

“Before I started with James I was struggling and felt stale. Like I was going through the motions and eating food because it was there. Not enjoying the basics in life like an afternoon stroll or going outside with the family. All this added up to putting on weight and not being happy with how I looked which meant my confidence was at an all time low.

I’d tried a ton of popular diets, including shakes but had always ended up regaining the weight. With James I learnt why I was eating food. And what benefits all food types have. I learnt that just doing the basics can improve your life by 100%.

I didn’t just lose body fat, but gained muscle, confidence and an increased enjoyment for life. Alyce and I can’t thank you enough for the life changes you’ve helped us implement. We now have new found confidence and a stronger appreciation for food and family time.”

James M

“ I approached James for help getting ready for my first physique competition. While I heard good things from those I asked I was over the moon with my decision. James helped me to stay focused and remain positive.

James’ attitude and knowledge were amazing. He was always positive, understood life’s challenges, provided me with heaps of information and wasn’t just generic.

He cut out all the bullshit and gave me honest views and opinions which is what I needed.

Just want to say a huge thank you for getting me to the stage. There is no way that I would have been up there without you!”

“I reached out to James as in the past I had found it difficult to achieve consistency in my body composition. I’d got to reasonably low body fat levels but couldn't sustain it, with fluctuations in weight leading to binges and frustration.

I’d realised that a lack of consistency within my life in general, and in particular nutrition was an issue and by focusing specifically on nutrition James has helped me feel empowered and capable to keep improving. I feel James really cuts through a lot of messages out there by keeping things simple in terms of nutrition.

Having someone to give me accurate information that removes the need for constantly trying to guess what to do. That James in an advocate for ongoing learning and doesn't see the end of a nutrition plan as being the final point to follow forever is also a big plus.

For anyone considering his services , his skill set is of immense value so I'd suggest having a strong idea in mind, even though it may change (as mine did often), so that you can take advantage each moment you share together.”

Jesse B

“I found James through a trainer at my gym and approached him with the overall goal of improving my body composition. Essentially I wanted to get shredded.

The results I achieved were beyond my expectations. James helped me to gain an understanding of energy balance and manipulating macros to achieve my goals. I learnt that when your disciplined and execute a plan based on foundations then you’ll see results. He helped me see that small changes can make a huge difference and made what seemed overwhelming and out of reach achievable. All the while forming the habits to make it easier over time.

Jame’s passion for his work is evident and his advice and honesty has been excellent. I feel much more confident in the overall knowledge and understanding I now have.”

Tom Harrigan

“I contacted James with the goal of getting leaner for summer. While I’d never been overweight, I’d also never really seen good abdominal definition. James provided me with a progressive nutrition plan and diet that made it easy to stick to and change when needed.

I learnt a ton while working with James and found him knowledgeable, professional and most importantly committed to helping me. I just want to say thanks again and I look forward to working with you again after Xmas. “

Trent, Avid Gym Goer

“ I was made aware of James through mutual friends. As a rock climber I was looking to reduce body fat while maintaining strength. The problem was, I work 80+ hour weeks and don’t have hours to spare training and preparing meals.

James not only helped me get the leanest I’ve ever been but managed to increase my strength with minimal gym time. He helped me gain a greater understanding of macro nutrients and the importance of a consistency. The combination of education and small tweaks lead to a much easier to manage diet and better overall physique. Now I understand much more about the basic macro composition of the foods I consume which means I can make much more calculated decisions.”

Hamish A, Entrepreneur & Rock Climber

“With James as coach, in 16 weeks I went from what I thought was a lean 63kg down to a pretty shredded 55kg, an 8kg loss on my small 5'6" frame, a massive visual difference. I maintained my strength or improved on my lifts and lost mostly fat. The workouts were fun but I thoroughly enjoyed the flexible dieting, within my macros, James worked with me to construct a diet that worked for my lifestyle. He didn’t have me restrict calories to absurd levels and we only added a little cardio towards the end. Good food choices as recommended by James, helped with satiety and I learnt to be creative with making volume for calories consumed type food choices, which meant I was still eating full meals. “

Moin, Avid lifter & Family Man

“ James made this process a lot easier than I ever anticipated it being.  I, like many others, assumed that it would be a very complicated and laborious process to understand my nutritional needs and thought I would be overwhelmed by all of the information, but much to my surprise the steps James proposed were user friendly and easy to understand and implement.”

  I only hired James for a period of 8 weeks, where he made himself available to me whenever I needed him leading me to lose a very quick 10kgs in that initial 8 weeks, and I have lost and additional 5kgs and most importantly maintained a weight of 80kgs in the months since we worked together simply my implementing his strategies.

Adam, Trail Runner

“ Over 8 weeks James was very supportive and helpful. Having come from a background of eating disorders, I was wary about working with someone who understood and placed my health as a priority. This was a key reason why I chose to work with James during this program.

James helped reshape my thinking about food and nutrition, and quite frankly body image and happiness.

Although there will always be setbacks, James has given me the confidence to keep pushing and realise that one "fail" i.e. Lack of control in my mind is not a fail and something to learn and grow from.”
