Hello! I'm Michael James, bringing over 17 years of experience in health and wellness coaching to your fitness journey. As a seasoned coach, I've conducted over 1,675 cardio kickboxing classes and have personally trained more than 300 clients. My diverse background includes years as a martial arts instructor and more than a decade as a personal chef.

My Expertise

In the realm of health and wellness, I specialize in weight management, strength, and conditioning. I am passionate about helping both new and experienced clients achieve their fitness goals through a tailored approach that celebrates progress at every step.

My Philosophy

I believe that true health is a balance of mental, physical, and social well-being—a balance that should be pursued throughout one’s lifetime. My coaching methods are designed to foster long-term health and enjoyment in physical activity, reflecting this holistic view.

Professional and Personal Highlights

I am a certified personal trainer, and my teaching history spans vast local and remote clientele, some of whom have been with me for up to nine years. Outside of fitness, I am an avid chef who enjoys crafting new dishes and providing meal plans that support a healthy lifestyle.

Beyond Coaching and Cooking

Away from work, my interests are as varied as my skills. I’m an enthusiast of both "The Andy Griffith Show" and "Star Trek", reflecting my love for storytelling in all its forms. Additionally, I run an internet jazz radio station, sharing my passion for music with listeners worldwide.
