Attentive. Knowledgeable. Focused on your success. Badass. I've been working with Jim for six months and I feel the results every day. I know that to achieve my goals it is up to me to be disciplined and make good decisions. And I can't imagine a better training partner than Jim to work with on this journey.

Jim is the best. He puts in intentional effort and planning to customize your needs and wants to help you achieve your goals. Jim has a method and reason behind all that he does and focuses on correct execution and progress. His attention to detail is unreal not just in the gym with him, but tailoring workouts and even nutrition when you arent with him. Not only is he a great trainer, but also just a very good person who enjoys life and is such a light to have around when you need a good push to be your best.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL! If you're looking for someone who's so attentive, that they're literally cheering you on, you've found the right trainer. Jim caters your workout to YOU! He recognizes weaknesses and strengths and builds up from there. He's not your trainer where you feel "taken" and question "what am I getting out of this?" You'll know the first day, he means business, (and very personalbe)and he'll take you to your best self as long as you follow his process and commit to it. I've been training with Jim for the past year, and still haven't found a trainer who can compete with him. You'll

I started with Jim back in February of 2020, and shortly after became pregnant with my first child. I worked with Jim throughout the entire pregnancy, and couldnt wait to get back to training with him after the baby was born! Jim customized every workout and I felt energized and fit for the entire 9 months. I am already back working with Jim towards new fitness goals. He is an incredibly knowledgeable trainer and the only trainer I would trust to work with while pregnant. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I have been working with Jim for two years. Last year I had two knee surgeries on the same knee. Jim created upper body workouts during both recoveries so I could still keep training. After my release to start using my knee again, Jim was ready with workouts to incorporate my lower body. Caefully monitoring my form and ensuring that I experienced no knee pain or slight discomfort. Jim is professional and has a vast knowledge in his field. He is personable and a pleasure to work with.

I've always been driven to train and take care of my body but I wanted to maximize my results. To do this I needed to find someone who could keep me accountable, create a training regimen that delivered results, and give the diet recommendations to achieve those results. My search focused on finding someone that practiced what they preached. Jim appeared to fit that mold so I signed up. I'm in my second year of training with him and he has done an amazing job at delivering in all of those areas. He has much industry experience and knowledge, admirable work ethic, and an unparalleled passion for
