James is based at 72 Old Brompton Road in South Kensington, and provides personalised 1-to-1 training for clients in the local area looking to become stronger, fitter and more confident.

​

I've worked as a personal trainer and boxing coach for more than 15 years, combining strength and weight training, boxing, conditioning and structured programming around each individual.

​

There is no one-size-fits-all programme. Your training is built around your goals, experience, lifestyle and how you move, whether you're completely new to training or have been exercising for years.

​

My approach is straightforward: good coaching, effective training and a programme that fits your life.

​

Personal Training Built Around Your Goals

People come to personal training for very different reasons. You may want to build muscle, lose body fat, become stronger, improve your fitness, learn to box or simply feel better physically.

​

The first step is understanding what you want to achieve and where you are starting from. From there, I build your training around you rather than fitting you into a predetermined programme.

​

Your sessions can include:

​

• Strength and weight training

• Boxing and pad work

• Conditioning and fitness

• Muscle building

• Fat loss and body composition

• Mobility and movement

• General fitness

• Individualised programming

• ​

The balance of your training will change depending on your goals and progress.

​

Consistency matters more than complexity. The aim is to create training that is challenging enough to produce results but realistic enough to become part of your life.

​

1-to-1 Personal Training in South Kensington

1-to-1 personal training gives us the freedom to focus entirely on your goals, your technique and your progress.

​

Every session is coached individually, allowing exercises, weights, intensity and conditioning to be adjusted to suit you. As you become stronger and fitter, your programme progresses with you.

​

For some clients, the priority is strength and muscle. For others, it's improving fitness, changing body composition, learning to box or returning to regular exercise after time away.

​

I also understand that work, travel, family and life don't always follow a perfect training schedule. Good personal training should work around your life rather than becoming another source of pressure.

​

You should leave training feeling better than when you arrived.

​

Boxing & Strength Training in South Kensington

Alongside traditional personal training, I specialise in boxing and strength training, combining both disciplines to create effective, enjoyable sessions tailored to your goals.

​

Boxing Training

​

Boxing is an excellent way to improve cardiovascular fitness, coordination, endurance and confidence. Sessions can include pad work, footwork, technique and conditioning, whether you're a complete beginner or have previous boxing experience.

​

Strength & Weight Training

​

Strength training is an important part of building a stronger, healthier and more capable body. I use free weights, resistance machines and functional exercises to help clients develop muscle, improve strength and work towards better body composition.

​

Your programme might focus entirely on boxing or strength training, or combine both depending on what you enjoy and want to achieve.

​

The objective is always to make your training personal, progressive and sustainable.

​
