"I have been training with James for two years in private sessions twice a
week. I can't praise him highly enough. I have become more fit, stronger and
faster due to James' careful and gradual program of increasing intensity. I
have been challenged and have worked hard. James knows how much I can do and
he always encourages me to move beyond my self-imposed limits. He is a
benevolent drill sergeant. He is a genius!"--Diane S.

"MVP stands for "Mobile, Versatile, and Productive, three things we all want to be. As someone who has struggled with weight issues (I once weighed 260lbs), I am aware of the challenges life presents that cause us to make poor choices. My goal is to help you change your life through exercise and proper nutrition. As competitive athlete, I am presently aware of the challenges athletes must endure to remain competitive in their respective sports. I have programs that will teach how to properly train and fuel your body to maintain peak performance."
