"I joined the programme to improve my body shape strength & weight. I have always been very sporty playing squash & tennis regularly but wanted an extra few % to help me now I was the wrong side of 50!

The programme particularly helped me through a tough year when my parents died within months of each other. It gave me something to concentrate on & keep me feeling good, healthy etc when life was tough. I guess watching my body shape change & eating habits improve has been some of the best things to happen & not just for now but for the future. In everyday life now I now feel more confident & not just stronger physically but mentally.

Working with James has been a good experience for myself & I think James has enjoyed it too!

His guidance on gym, work & eating habits has helped me a lot. He has accumulated a good team of people who have stayed with him for a long period of time & all get on well with each other."

"I have been training with James for just under a year now. I had been contemplating a personal trainer for quite a while but never went that step further until James was recommended to me. I started off with personal training sessions twice a week and then was encouraged by James to join in with some of the group sessions that he holds. James is always well prepared and always has a routine planned for every session that's really varied and personally challenging, but also fun. James motivates and encourages me not only during the training sessions but throughout the week with training videos and effective nutritional guidance. He also does weekly check-ins via the James Cameron Coaching app which really helps to keep you on track out with the training sessions.

Since working with James, I feel more motivated and fitter and it has opened up new avenues to other forms of exercise that I hadn't tried before such as running, boxing, circuits, spin cycling, and even yoga! James alternates the programme to avoid repetition which keeps me interested and looking forward to each session. He always provides constructive feedback and encourages me to push myself further each week. Booking sessions in advance means I am committing to going and there's less chance of me finding an excuse not to go.

Attending the group sessions with other people who are varying ages and fitness levels has also helped increase my confidence and form relationships with a great group of people who always motivate and support one another.

The training sessions have had a really positive impact on my life, and I have made progress I didn't think was possible. I can see muscle definition that I didn't have before, particularly in my arms, shoulders and legs. I am sleeping better, I feel energised, and I am more mentally alert than before.

The professionalism and passion James has for what he does is inspirational. I know that I would never have achieved the level of fitness I have at my age without the help of James and I would encourage anyone who is thinking of a personal trainer to get in touch with him and start your own journey to reaching your fitness and well-being goals."

My work is sedentary and I get stressed by deadlines and snack a lot in front of the laptop to compensate. I knew I needed to sort myself out, and recognised that I would benefit by investing money and time in hiring a PT - someone l'd feel I was letting down if I didn't get on with my fitness journey. The money is a key factor because it motivates you to get the most out of your investment.

The programme has made me realise I can become fitter, leaner and stronger, and that physical activity can be enjoyable and rewarding. It's made me realise I need to improve my health generally - so I got myself checked out at the doctor and found out my blood pressure is higher than it should be. I even braved having a blood test (hate blood!). I'm sure my new mindset helped me cope with this. My cholesterol is high too, but not badly, so l now feel all the more motivated to improve by cardio and my nutrition - as well as my mindset.

I love lifting weights — never imagined I would! I also love running and am doing Couch to 5K on the treadmill in between sessions. I am amazed about this!

I feel more focused on my health and fitness and more positive generally, too. It's made me take account of my ridiculous work deadlines and be more mindful of my workload and how to plan it better. It's also made me more conscious of my eating and of my general health. On top of this, it's given me social contact with really nice people (including James) while I'm living on my own while my partner is out in Hong Kong.

I've found working with James to be unexpectedly good fun - but also structured and focused with lots of encouragement and a growing sense of my own responsibility in the partnership. I can see that l've become more autonomous, planning my fitness goals and my attendance at the gym, including deciding to do a 5k!
