I realised I've not done an "About me" for a while... so ... Hi! 👋
My name is James and in the day I work at Birmingham Newman University as a Student Sport and Physical Activity Coordinator. 🏅

I'm also a qualified Personal Trainer and fitness class instructor. Currently leading classes such as Spin (Group cycling) and Bodyweight Fitness. I have a big passion for bringing people into fitness for the first time or helping them get back into fitness and restarting their journey 💪

I love talking to people about their fitness journey no matter what chapter they are at! So if you're new to fitness and exercise or if you're already halfway through your journey but want to talk more to someone else then drop me a message. 📨

I work a lot with people looking to lose body fat and increase fitness and absolutely love conversations about how fitness, exercise and sport is amazing for mental health. 🗣

I'm also going through my own fitness journey (aren't we all?) I recently started benching over 100kg, leg pressing over 400kg and squatting more than 120kg which I'm pretty happy with and am now putting more running into my fitness plan to aid the body fat decrease! 💪🏋‍♂️

So that's me! Feel free to drop any fitness questions below or introduce yourself and let me know where you're at in your journey 😁

I just want to share a story about a conversation I had yesterday with a PT client...

Shell is someone that I've only been training (1 to 1) for a couple of months and we had a pretty deep conversation after our session yesterday. 🗣

All about how positive it is to big up other people and how she's grateful to herself that she's taking the time to work on herself with me for 2 hours a week and actually give back to herself too👏👏

Shell is someone who constantly brings up other people and neither of us agree with putting other people down for your own gain (who in the right mind does?) But she feels good that she's actually taking time for herself and actually pouring into her own cup. Which is extremely important in life!
Her own self belief is now coming back, which to me - is what training is all about and bigging yourself up and to quote Shell yesterday "It's nice to be reminded in my own head to pat myself on the back too"

So remember, training in the gym or heading to fitness classes isn't just for physical health or watching the scales go down, but actually for your mental health too and giving yourself the best chance of feeling as great as you possibly can.

This morning take 2 minutes and think about what you can pat yourself on the back for this week, and if you feel comfortable to, drop it in the comments so we can all clap for you too! 👏

Have a great weekend 🌞☀️
