My first session hurt. It took me 5 days to recover and I thought everyone was fitter than me. Over time I've realised that we all have different strengths and weaknesses but importantly no one judges you and everyone encourages you to do your best. My first goal was to lose enough weight to be able to start running again. It took me 4 weeks and I had lost a stone and was feeling strong enough to run."

James is inspiring and motivational and has all the enthusiasm of Mr Motivator from breakfast tv in the 80’s. My first impression was good, very good and that has never changed over the years. It’s not just a load of hype to get you through the door and make you sign up, it’s continuous... they are always there to help and advise and push you if you need it."

My first impression was one of great doubt. Here was a man telling me all the things I wanted to hear. I can be fit, I can lose weight. But seriously eating 1700 calories. I didn’t think so. I was told I will fit in people who go to James fitness are lovely and friendly. So after a few months my doubts have left. I am getting fit, I am losing weight and I have not met anybody that hasn’t been friendly or encouraging. I can honestly say that I would never have uttered those words (I am looking forward to my gym session). I have been converted because it’s not a normal gym."

I’m always surprised by how much I can achieve in his classes and leave feeling stronger, motivated and more positive about my fitness level. I’d like to say a huge thank you to all the James Fitness team.  I enjoy every one of your classes; you’re all different, but together you tick every one of the boxes on my exercise enjoyment list."

I was sceptical at first. How could I lose weight but eat so much! I was so used to starving myself. I also really didn’t think I had time to exercise with a very demanding job, a young child at home and already running twice a week.
Now, it is just become part of my weekly routine. I write my sessions in my diary like I would any meeting at work. I also write it in our family calendar so my family know when I’m not in. I was worried that everyone would be fitter than me. JF is full of like minded, friendly people on the same journey as you."

I’m fitter and stronger than I was 10 yrs ago, in fact than 20 years ago and am slowly shedding the excess fat I’ve picked up over the last 10 years. I feel like I am getting closer to my end goal but am loving the journey. I also keep pushing the end goal back as I realise I can achieve more that I dreamed possible! Watch this space for a future flat stomach!"

My first impression was I felt so welcomed, that this was something I could do as felt the support from first instance . That hasn't changed the only thing that has changed it that the people that you meet also are a massive support such a lovely place to be not alone in a gym where I would have no clue."

James's fitness is worth every penny and it's TRUE what the slogan on the T.shirts says. I would truly recommend James's fitness to anyone who does not like the gym and lacks confidence when exercising. 

My first goal was to lose weight which I did at first. Then I thought I'm exercising so I can eat what I like. I soon found out that's not the case. Later finding out I was getting close to becoming a diabetic I spoke to James and joined the extra accountability group. This was great as it put me on track and I have continued with it. I'm now heading away from diabetes which is brilliant news for me."
