Here are some body transformation success stories from James Fitness' hard-working clients.
"I have noticed the results of working out with James after just TWO weeks! At one month, I feel stronger and so much more fit than before! It is summer time now and I love showing off all my hard work!!!
The gym is great because it is the kind of place where "everybody knows your name!" and everyone is super friendly!
James makes an hour of working out really hard go by FAST! He's always making me laugh and enjoy my workouts. I never get bored with working out with him because we are always changing things up and we alternate from indoor to outdoor and work different areas!
One of my favorite and most challenging things about training with James is my food log! He has this great system to achieve the goals that each individual wants to reach by keeping track of what you eat! And WOW, what an eye opener that was!!! It’s like having a trainer and nutritionist all in one!
There is no substitute for training with James... he really pushes and motivates you! He is already voted the #1 trainer in Orange County and I don't see any end in sight! Get in with him now!!! PRICELESS =)"
- Michelle Thomas, Dana Point, CA
"I recently started training with James almost two months ago. Before him I went to the gym with no mission, or goal, just showing up. The technique that James uses is effective. I was skeptical at first because I wasn't throwing around 100 pound weights, but I was soon to see the results.
My goal was simply to have a slim defined body. I have never had a six-pack in my life, and I see the workings of one coming in nicely. My body is now slim, defined and toned. James has strengthened my core and made my body stronger head to toe.
My friends have noticed a huge difference in my body, and have since then started training with him too. I recommend James to anyone. I feel great about my new body. I'm healthy and focused on fitness. All of this, thanks to James."
- David M. Cruz III, Irvine, CA
"I feel good naked =) I can see the difference in my thighs and arms.
The new gym is marvelous! It's comfortable and the amenities provide a lot of convenience.
James is passionate about what he does and is amenable to creating more challenge in my workouts. You got me addicted. You make me burn. =) We focus on different body parts on different days. The moves are usually different so I know that training is continuing to shock my body.
Tell James to make you do backward lunges! =)"
- Jaclyn K., Irvine, CA
"I had 3 months to lose an inch in my waist for a photo shoot. I met this goal in just 8 weeks! I lost 10 lbs in these 8 weeks as well. I have more energy through the day. My self confidence has been boosted.
James is energetic, motivational and inspirational. He always keeps me on track with my nutrition and workouts. All around James is a great trainer."
- Chelsee Brewster, Tustin, CA
"I have lost inches since I have started training with James! I have gained a better confidence within myself! My goal was to gain strength in my core and upper body, and I have really progressed since day one. My favorite thing about the gym is the upbeat environment. Everyone is friendly there. My favorite thing about James is his spunk. He is always positive, and pushes us to our limits! I like being challenged! When I attend class, I'm always excited to see what different types of exercises we will do. James is a wonderful trainer. He is upbeat, positive, outgoing, and pushes you hard so you can achieve your goals."
- Demetria Costa, Aliso Viejo, CA
"Me and my friends have noticed a major difference in the firmness of my body in just TWO WEEKS! I have more energy and I feel more confident about showing off my body again. The gym has great music, hot people, and has fun comfortable environment to train in. James is always positive, and never lets me fail when I'm working out. The results are quick and apparent. It's a great workout and he definitely focuses on what you need to do. For the amount of time spent with the trainer and the consultations offered, it's definitely worth the price. Thanks James!!!"
- Andre Harmon, Huntington Beach, CA
"I have lost 3 pounds and 1 inch in my waist in just 3 weeks! I feel stronger and just better about how I look. I am more motivated to work out since I enjoy the results. The exercises are not something I could've pushed myself to do on my own. The gym has a great atmosphere, and it is pretty fun. I used to work out almost every day, but working out with James has actually made a bigger difference since they are not typical exercises, and they really work :)"
- Eileen Dano, Irvine, CA
"I have lost 5 pounds and 1.5 inches in my waist. What I've gained is more impressive: a desire to live a happy and healthy life. Working out with James has simply made me feel better about who I am. James will push you when you can no longer push yourself. This process has been life changing in terms of my approach to fitness: I am more health conscious and excited for my future. Living a fitness-centered life seemed impossible to me, but I've seen the results and now cannot envision a life without it. The gym is full of energy. Everyone is pumped up and ready to burn. THINK FITNESS BABY!"
- Nirali Bhatt, Irvine, CA
"Training with James Fitness is amazing! He's motivating, energetic, positive, and gives you the results you want. James is good at explaining the workouts and what part of the body is being targeted. I was never one to get into much of weightlifting. I was scared, being a woman that I would bulk up. Three years ago I ran the San Diego marathon; if I had understood then that toning my muscles would have made me stronger, I would probably have had a better time. I see myself getting toned and I also burn more calories at rest during the day! Working with James has also brought out more of my self-confidence. His personality is so positive and friendly.;"
- Teresa Falk, San Juan Capistrano, CA
"Let me start this off by saying that getting me to write a testimonial about anything is like pulling teeth, so by doing this it shows how appreciative and grateful I am to James Fitness.
When I initially met with James I was tired all the time, I had reached a plateau with my workouts and weight loss, and I had lost my motivation to work out. After my first session with James my motivation and confidence returned because he pushed me to go beyond my limits. After my first week my energy was up about 100%, and after my first month I was already showing significant gains with my endurance and muscle mass. Clothes that I had not fit into in five years actually were fitting on me again. Because of James Fitness, I lost 4% body fat in two weeks!
There are no better trainers to have than the ones from James Fitness. Their approach to fitness is fun, motivating and extremely effective. I really look forward to going to the gym now because I know I will be doing something different every time I go, and that goes a long way considering I have ADD. I have had other trainers in the past and became bored really fast because there was no variety with the workouts. These guys are a lot of fun to work out with. The nutrition counseling that James Fitness offers is also an advantage considering that you have to include proper nutrition to get the best results from your workout regimen.
James Fitness trainers are the experts in fitness. I am a very happy with them and I would never consider going anywhere else. I am so ecstatic about my progress so far, and I cannot wait to see where I will be in three months. If you want results the healthy and fun way in a small amount of time, these are your guys. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
Thank you so much James Fitness. You guys are the best!"
- Vivien Heramis, Tustin, CA
"I lost 10 lbs. in 10 weeks. I feel like a major change I have made is in my mind. My favorite thing about you is your passion for your work. I also enjoy your attention to interesting workouts and the unique ways you add muscle control, balance, and muscle health into cardio and weight training. YOU ROCK!"
- Erin Perencevic, Long Beach, CA
"Through my search for a personal trainer, I was looking to tone up my physique, gain some muscle weight, and become a much healthier individual. In just 3 weeks I noticed a difference in my tone and visible upper body growth. I have slimmed down the "beer belly" and am developing great abdominal definition. The progress through James' training has been rapid and rewarding. Not only do I look and feel better physically, but I have quit smoking and have started a much healthier diet; in the end, I feel amazing!! The gym maintains a friendly, focused environment and is very welcoming...I very much feel at ease while working out in the group sessions. James is a great motivator and extremely positive person to be around, which reflects in all of his training sessions. James Fitness trainers love what they do and make the sometimes enduring sessions seem easy. I worked out at a large chain gym previously and was not very interested with the whole personal trainer approach, but after joining James' team I would recommend it to anyone in seach of getting in shape, obtaining that summer beach body, or just having an overall healthier life!!"
- Justin Alexander, Laguna Hills, CA
"I lost 8 lbs. in 3 weeks and 2 inches in my waist, I feel stronger, more energized, and my back doesn't hurt anymore! I have become a lot leaner in my butt, arms and legs, and especially in my thighs. My clothes also look and fit much better.
The locker rooms are really nice with full amenities. James Fitness trainers are motivating, friendly and completely down to earth. You guys make working out fun even though we're getting our butts kicked.
I like the variety. My whole body gets a workout and it feels good. I am never bored because you're always giving us different workouts."
- Jennifer Vo, Los Angeles, CA
"I can fit into pants that I haven't worn in a while, and I've only been working out with James for three weeks. I've noticed that my thighs and my tummy have slimmed down. I don't have any more hip pain and back pain since I've started. I partially dislocated my hip in Dec. 05 and I've been to the chiropractor and the doctor for it. Working out was the only thing that made the pain go away. I like all the different types of workouts we do. The nutritional guidelines and workouts have really helped me on my road to reaching my fitness goals. Since I've started working out with James, I have more energy, which has given me the stamina I need to make it through my long days of classes and my many hours of homework each night. I don't think that I could make it through law school without you."
- Tina Tran, Garden Grove, CA
"I have lost over an inch to an inch and a half in many areas of my body. I feel so much more energetic and a lot healthier.
My favorite thing about the gym is getting there early and getting my day started correctly. It helps to energize you through out the entire day.
I like how funny you are but you still are very professional. You guys are good at inspiring and keeping everyone focused. I love the training because its always different routines. You never do the same boring stuff and that way you stay interested and don't get bored with the same old workout. The workouts are not easy but they are fun and they make me feel more positive about life."
- Jessica Gately, Tustin, CA
"After being absent from sports and athletic training for 4 years, I picked up yoga and became a yoga instructor. Even though I practice yoga, there was still an element missing in my personal workouts until I started cross training with James. He has helped to redevelop my athleticism as I continue to build more strength. I know that I am getting into the best shape of my life due to the increase in stamina and decrease in body fat. He is a smart and encouraging trainer with creative, all encompassing exercises that give you a full body workout while keeping you interested. Additionally, with his realistic mind set, he knows how to guide you towards achieving your training goals."
- Aileen Pham, Irvine, CA
"James is a very knowledgeable, professional and experienced personal trainer. He has a shining personality. I would highly recommend him to anyone that wishes to improve any aspect of their health or fitness. If you want to exercise properly and get results, seek out James."
- Le Thu, Singer
"To James & James Fitness, Thank you for making my fitness goals and dreams come true..."
- Denise Young, Tustin CA (www.DeniseYoung.com)
"My strength and endurance have increased in a short amount of time. The gym is clean and never crowded. Everyone is very nice and helpful. The trainers are very energetic and helpful. I feel comfortable talking with them about my body and goals. The training is continuous and intense. They make me work! I have referred my friends and I will gladly continue to recommend others try it out."
- Jenelyn Now, Irvine, CA
"I lost 48 lbs. with James in the past 5 months. When I have tried in the past to lose weight, I have always been discouraged. James made me stick with it and it paid off. The nutritional advice made a huge difference. Thanks!"
- Mark Roberts, Newport Beach, CA
"I lost 12 lbs. in the first 6 weeks. Now I have lost a total of 27 lbs. I have worked out with other trainers in the past and never had the results I am getting with James Fitness. The motivation is great, I can always count on James to make me "think fitness", it's the secret to my success! You make the workouts fun and always explain what we are doing and why. I like the environment at the gym, it is very welcoming and comfortable. I feel the positive energy when you walk in. You are very dedicated to what you do, it shows in every session. James knows fitness!"
- Cristina Diaz, Irvine, CA
"I lost 22 lbs. in 3 months with James Fitness. The workouts were always challenging and fun at the same time. I highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about getting results! Aside from the training, his personality is awesome, and he truly loves training."
- Anna Johnson, Mission Viejo, CA
"I have lost 30 pounds while working out with James over the past few months. I am stronger and more capable of doing strenuous activity for longer periods of time. He has a good sense of humor. The workouts are not like any traditional weights or aerobics program. They are extremely tough and rewarding."
- Erick Lee, Irvine, CA
"I lost 18 lbs. in just 9 weeks. I chose James as my trainer after visiting several other trainers who seemed to be more into making money than my personal well-being. James has a wonderful upbeat and positive personality. He makes sure that you understand the A-Z of healthy training...he also has the patience of a saint. :-) You will definitely be pleased with results you gain...not only in how you look, but how you ultimately feel. If you want long lasting and healthful results, I recommend James as your personal trainer. Thanks James for everything!!!"
- Heather Watkins, Irvine, CA
"I think that James Fitness is the best thing I have ever encountered. It's straight up sweat and hard work. Ever since I have come to James, I have stopped being so mad at myself for being lazy and not working out as much. I have stopped obsessing over my diet choices and just slowly changing them. When you see results you want to eat healthier. When you see how good you feel after a workout, it makes you want to do it again. I feel more toned and my clothes fit better. I have so much more energy. I can go through the whole day without having to have so much coffee. I can actually run without panting. The gym has a very unique atmosphere. There is so much positive energy. You switch it up and make it fun and your funny jokes and stories make the time go by fast. When I am working out I do not feel like its torture. I also like your flexibility. You understand that people's schedules change and are very adaptable to your clients and their needs."
- Maryam Sharifi, Irvine, CA
"James has become not only my personal trainer, by also a personal motivator. Before I started working out with James, I really hated going to the gym and especially working out with weights. James has been great at listening to my goals and has done a great job of designing workouts that are getting me to those goals quickly. James is excellent in explaining what muscles to focus on and how to do each exercise to get the most out of it. He pushes me hard, but he also makes it fun with his warm personality and smile!"
- Rise Spiegel, Lake Forest, CA
"James is a terrific personal trainer. He has tailored a program for me so that I can reach my fitness goals, while making sure that I am doing things properly for a safe and effective workout. It is challenging, fun, and he mixes things up so that it's never boring. I have been training with James for the past year, and I am very happy with my results."
- Jennifer Lancona, Newport Beach, CA
"My wife and I have only been working with James for a short while, but we have both noticed improvement already. The most important lesson we have learned is that improving our fitness doesn’t require the use of lots of expensive machines. Most sessions with James involve some simple hand weights, a medicine ball and a foam mat—and trust me; we get our money's worth every time."
- Craig Dickson, Aliso Viejo, CA
"After working out with James for just over a month I've already noticed big changes. Not only do I have more energy, and better stamina to get me through tough days, but also my clothes are fitting better, and I'm just generally in a much better mood. James's positive energy and motivation have helped me to love exercising again."
- Jennifer Dickson, Aliso Viejo, CA
"I would gladly recommend James to anyone who wants a knowledgeable, patient trainer. The training he received at Baylor University has given him a unique perspective in assessing physical performance and creating programs that are individualized and manageable. James is dependable and well organized. He demonstrates care for the overall health and well being of his clients. His personality and character make him an excellent choice for all of your training needs."
- Mary Ann Wirmani, Fountain Valley, CA
"I usually can't motivate myself to work out alone. James makes it easy to go to the gym. He makes working out fun! I am now more interested in my health. He has also educated me on nutrition. His small steps made it easy to improve my diet. I have already lost weight and have seen noticeable changes in the definition of my body. As a student, it was nice knowing he can always accommodate my schedule."
- Leticia Bailon, Irvine, CA
"I have only worked out with James for a little bit over a month and I've already noticed a difference in my body. I have more energy, more strength and just generally feel better. So if you're serious about losing weight or getting into better shape, work out with James and see the results for yourself."
- J. Lee, Fullerton, CA
"James has made me feel like I can actually achieve my goals. That is something I could not do on my own. What a great motivator! His workouts are challenging and fun at the same time. I look forward to going to the gym now. My body looks and feels better than ever. I also feel more confident about myself. He was always on time and very well prepared."
- D. Lewis, Irvine, CA
"James's level of personal excellence is rivaled by only two other factors in his service, one his plethora of knowledge on personal fitness and strength training, and two his determination. James is a well-qualified and most importantly professional trainer; I would recommend him to anybody who needs an expert in the field of personal training."
- Charles Parker, Albuquerque, NM
