Founder & head coach

Built on work ethic, not natural talent.

I’ve competed at a high level in three very different sports. I came through elite basketball academies in the UK before earning a scholarship to Combine Academy in North Carolina, then competed in powerlifting at national level. Today I compete professionally in Muay Thai.

I’ve never been the most naturally gifted athlete. I got there through discipline, attention to detail and consistency — and that’s the standard I bring to every client, alongside evidence-based programming and the mental resilience that comes from competing.

Clients

In their words

“I’ve been weight training on my own for quite a while, but having someone there who can pick up on things with my technique and suggest ways to improve has made a massive difference. It’s also great motivation to push yourself that little bit harder than you might on your own. It definitely makes you show up for yourself!”

Iulia · Venture capital

“James brought credibility, patience and an exceptional depth of industry knowledge to every stage of the project. More importantly, he earned the trust of everyone involved by remaining focused on what success would actually look like once the doors opened.”
