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 healthy, 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, Thankyou so much! You’re amazing.

“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.”

“ 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 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.”

“ 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 came to James with the goal to drop fat, keep as much muscle/strength in the process, improve my eating habits and health, and increase my knowledge on all things Nutrition/fitness.

I found James to be super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, always accessible and fast responding. This is exactly what I needed to get me to the next level and ready for my photoshoot.

He gave me a clearer view on the "big rocks", so what to focus most my time and effort on.

There’s not many people with the passion and knowledge like James in this industry. I have and would recommend him.”

“ After the birth of my first child I found that my weight was fluctuating wildly but that I was struggling to lose and maintain body fat. While I’m not one for fad diets, or fat loss supplements I just didn’t know where to start.

James provided us with a clear and simple path to follow. He helped me become more organised when it came to meal planning and preparation for a busy work week and taught me valuable skills I’m sure I’ll use moving forward.

I easily lost over 7kg in our time together and moved from a fairly sedentary lifestyle to a more active one. This change allowed me to play outside more with my daughter, get more gardening done, helped me take the dogs for more walks, and I discovered my love of boxing!

Now I’m keen to go out and flaunt my new physique (without sounding arrogant!) I’m just proud of what I’ve achieved.”

Michaela

“ 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.”

James M

“ Before I started with James I was struggling with feeling stale. I was just going through the motions and eating food because it was there. I felt like I wasn’t making the most of life. This added up to putting on weight, which left me not being happy with how I looked and knocked my confidence.

During our time together I learnt I 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% .

In just over 12 weeks I dropped over 9 kilos and felt fitter than I had in years. My confidence improved, as did my performance on the field, and I started enjoying family time more.”

Alex A

“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!”

Dave S

“I play semi-professional football and I had a season full of injuries, niggles and sub-par fitness. I was very keen to drop between 6kg-8kg in the off-season in order to improve my performance. James took me on as a client and I cannot speak more highly of his work. At all times he remained professional and always had my best interest at heart. His knowledge on all things nutrition, particularly Flexible Dieting, is very broad and is always learning more, as he is very passionate about it. He is a very firm but fair coach, as he is very understanding of life and commitments outside of the gym and kitchen. 

With a bit of self-discipline and James’ guidance, I was able to drop 8kg in 3 months by only lifting weights and a balanced diet. I’m very grateful for not only how much James has helped me these past few months, but how much he has taught me about nutrition. I am very confident this experience has put me in good stead to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle for the future.

Harriet W

“When I began working with James, my goal was related to my sport.  I was required to make weight for a strong woman competition event within a 2 month period. 

James provided me with a simple and effective approach to manipulating my diet for weight loss. The approach that he took allowed me to focus on my training, and removed much of the stress associated with trying to make weight in sport. 

The accountability that James provided was a key aspect, along with knowing I was being guided by a health professional who uses an evidence based approach, and was not going to put my health at risk in the process. 

I would definitely recommend James’ services to a friend, and have done so on a number of occasions.”

Jesse

“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.

Tegan

“ 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!”

Tom C

“ I reached out to James after getting fed up not seeing the results I wanted. I’d been on and off intermittent fasting, had tried to just train more, at one point doing two F45 sessions a day!

While working with James I started to get an understanding of where I’d been going wrong and just how simple it can be. Not to say that it was easy, but James simplified the whole process and made it easy for me to hit my calorie and macronutrient targets, while also still enjoying a social life.

I started seeing more consistent results and learnt just how important consistency is. By the end I ended up surpassing my original goal, losing 10 kg and gaining muscle in the process. On top of this I feel like I’ve developed habits that help me hit my goals.

Like most people I had made a start towards my fitness goals but wasn’t sure how much to be eating to ensure I was getting the weight loss benefits of my workout. I’d been training at the gym and had previously spoken to another nutritionist but still wasn’t happy with the progress I was seeing.

Since starting with James I’ve lost approximately 3-4kgs and kept that weight off since May. I’ve made some gains in the gym such as running longer, lifting heavier and at times being in the first group of people to finish a HIIT task. I’ve lost centimetres from all of my measurement areas and I generally feel more confident and happy with with my body!

Aside from the physical, I also have a greater understanding of the healthy options I can find when eating takeaway or lunch on the go. I feel more informed about what my body needs to fit my training goals. If you’re questioning whether it’s for you… Do it! It’s fantastic.
