Erick lost weight and started Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at age 39!

For the vast majority of my life I have been in excellent shape. However, in 1996, after a 6 period of service in the US Marine Corps, I fell off the "health wagon." As I started my 1st business I fell into a pattern of eating fast food and no exercise and by 1998 I had ballooned from 165 pounds to over 210 pounds. At the beginning of 2006 I had had enough of being fat and attempted to start shedding the pounds with very limited success. Still over 200 pounds I turned to James to help guide me back to physical health. With a regimen of exercise and better diet guided by James's expertise I was able to drop from my weight (over 200 pounds) to 155 pounds with muscle definition like I have never had in my life. At 39 I am now active and participating in competitive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and stronger than I have ever been in my life. Thanks James!

When I first started the 10-week body challenge I was both excited and nervous. It was the start of a serious life change for me. Eating right, exercise and personal commitment I think are some of the hardest things in life. This program helped shape and mold my life. Your staff and yourself besides being awesome at what you do are real people who generally cared about each of the people in the program. The commitment you showed to all of us, kept us going and striving to achieve greater results. My goal when I started the program was to be able to take my shirt off at the beach and be proud of what was underneath. I achieved that! I take my shirt off now with great pride knowing my hard work has paid off! I am motivated and looking forward to the next challenge.

Once again, thank you!

I decided to find a personal trainer to whip me into shape! James has done just that! His workout program really kicks your butt!! I have never worked out this hard in my life.. And I'm loving every minute of it! He balances the right amount of weight training, cardio and diet, and really pushes you. No slacking! His enthusiasm and funny personality really makes the 6 am workouts tolerable! The combination of working out and restructuring my diet, including the 7-day fat loss detox diet, has made me lose inches and pounds! I quickly noticed results! I slimmed down..

John lost 20 pounds and 4 pant sizes in 8 weeks!

My name is John Ashrafian. I joined James's program because my wife and I recently found out that we are pregnant with our first child. My goal is to be healthy and in the best shape of my life, by the time the baby arrives. I want to be energetic to help raise our child as opposed to being lethargic. I recently completed the 8-week challenge. With intense workouts, and following James's nutritional tips, I lost an amazing 20 pounds and 4 pant sizes in 8 weeks! Overall I have increased energy, strength and flexibility.

James provides flexible hours, motivating workouts, state of the art equipment, and a very friendly and accommodating staff. The trainers are very knowledgeable, they love what they do, and are extremely motivating. I love the positive reinforcement and intensity that they provide. Plus, their workouts are targeted specifically for me to attain my goals.

I have lost inches since I have started training with James! I have gained a better confidence within myself! My goal was to gain strength in my core and upper body, and I have really progressed since day one. My favorite thing about the gym is the upbeat environment. Everyone is friendly there. My favorite thing about James is his spunk. He is always positive, and pushes us to our limits! I like being challenged! When I attend class, I'm always excited to see what different types of exercises we will do. James is a wonderful trainer. He is upbeat, positive, outgoing, and pushes you hard so you can achieve your goals.

Let's see...James and I go wayyyy back! James trained me back in 2006 and when I found out that he was back in Orange County, I was super excited to train with him again! I've lost 9 lbs so far and it's only been 3 weeks! James' sessions are fun and entertaining, and definitely make you feel energized after. James is friendly, positive, and motivating. I love that he offeres nutritional coaching; I was on the 7-day detox and noticed results right away without feeling tired or burned out. Your body gets all the nutrition it needs and James does a good job of telling you how to balance out fats, proteins, grains, fruits and veggies throughout the day. I am definitely more health conscious now and will not turn back! James is a great trainer!

I feel stronger and just better about how I look. I am more motivated to work out since I enjoy the results. The exercises are not something I could've pushed myself to do on my own. The gym has a great atmosphere, and it is pretty fun. I used to work out almost every day, but working out with James has actually made a bigger difference since they are not typical exercises, and they really work:)

I feel good naked =) I can see the difference in my thighs and arms.

The new gym is marvelous! It's comfortable and the amenities provide a lot of convenience.

James is passionate about what he does and is amenable to creating more challenge in my workouts. You got me addicted. You make me burn. =) We focus on different body parts on different days. The moves are usually different so I know that training is continuing to shock my body.

Tell James to make you do backward lunges! =)

I lost 8 lbs. in 3 weeks and 2 inches in my waist, I feel stronger, more energized, and my back doesn't hurt anymore! I have become a lot leaner in my butt, arms and legs, and especially in my thighs. My clothes also look and fit much better. The locker rooms are really nice with full amenities. James is motivating, friendly and completely down to earth. You guys make working out fun even though we're getting our butts kicked. I like the variety. My whole body gets a workout and it feels good. I am never bored because you're always giving us different workouts.

I found James's program 2 weeks before moving away. I was able to go a total of 6 times and already saw a difference in my body. It's a kick butt AWESOME work-out. I would recommend it to anyone.

They have a bunch of different convenient times for the busy person and after an hour you will leave drenched in sweat. I am sooooo sad there is not a James-clone in Seattle!!

I have lost over an inch to an inch and a half in many areas of my body. I feel so much more energetic and a lot healthier.

My favorite thing about the gym is getting there early and getting my day started correctly. It helps to energize you through out the entire day.

I like how funny you are but you still are very professional. You are good at inspiring and keeping everyone focused. I love the training because its always different routines. You never do the same boring stuff and that way you stay interested and don't get bored with the same old workout. The workouts are not easy but they are fun and they make me feel more positive about life.

I met James in the spring of 2008 when I was getting in shape for my wedding. I found the workouts challenging and motivational. Even after my wedding I continued working out with James.

As soon as I heard James was back in town I immediately contacted him to start up my workouts again. Three weeks in to my workouts with James I have lost 6 lbs. James is a great trainer that continually pushes you to the next level.

Finding motivation to get in shape has always been difficult for me. Its so much easier to just be lazy and eat junk food, but working out with James has changed my lifestyle. Working out has become my favorite pastime. I get individual attention, high energy sessions and most importantly, RESULTS! I have leaner thighs, firmer abs, and increased strength and stamina.

For anyone seeking a clean, fun, energetic and uncrowded workout environment... Stop Looking. James is your answer!

James is the best kept secret!

I have noticed the results of working out with James after just TWO weeks! At one month, I feel stronger and so much more fit than before! It is summer time now and I love showing off all my hard work!!! He is super friendly! James makes an hour of working out really hard go by FAST! He's always making me laugh and enjoy my workouts. I never get bored with working out with him because we are always changing things up and work different areas! One of my favorite and most challenging things about training with James is my food log! He has this great system to achieve the goals that each individual wants to reach by keeping track of what you eat! And WOW, what an eye opener that was!!! It's like having a trainer and nutritionist all in one! There is no substitute for training with James... he really pushes and motivates you! He is already voted one of the #1 trainers in the US. Get in with him now!!! PRICELESS =)

I have lost 5 pounds and 1.5 inches in my waist. What I've gained is more impressive: a desire to live a happy and healthy life. Working out with James has simply made me feel better about who I am. James will push you when you can no longer push yourself. This process has been life changing in terms of my approach to fitness: I am more health conscious and excited for my future. Living a fitness-centered life seemed impossible to me, but I've seen the results and now cannot envision a life without it. The gym is full of energy. Everyone is pumped up and ready to burn.

THINK FITNESS BABY!

My sessions with James have always been challenging and fun and I'm always interested in the next fitness trick he has got up his sleeve. His creative exercises are so much better than standing in place and curling a bar 10, 20 or 100 times. I really appreciate his attention to detail, correct form and technique, and to helping me attain my individual goals. I have developed more muscle that I knew existed. And the transformation journey still goes on!!

Hard work and trembling muscles at the end of each session - YES!

Being pushed beyond what I think I am capable of - YES!

Getting the most compliments on my body than I had in my life - YES

Feeling great about my body - YES!

Thanks James for being a great trainer, confidant and friend!

I like the cardio intervals because as a model I can't afford to bulk up. James has unique exercises you won't find anywhere else that are geared just for women's body types. I like to try every workout like pure barre, yoga, spin, pilates, etc. but I feel like I get the results of all of these combined with just James workouts.

Before James, I suffered from PMDD. Immediately I noticed a drastic change in my mood. Now I hardly notice my PMS, and I don't want to shoot myself in the head every month.

The workouts go by super quick because he's young, cute and funny. A lot of other trainers are creepy, but James is super fly. I'm addicted.

James, you're the best!! I can't thank you enough! I never would have reached my fitness goals if it wasn't for your amazing fitness and nutrition coaching, and butt kicking!! I'm getting in the best shape of my life!
Thank you.

Tami Hund, Former Rams Cheerleader

Training with James is amazing! He's motivating, energetic, positive, and gives you the results you want. James is good at explaining the workouts and what part of the body is being targeted. I was never one to get into much of weightlifting. I was scared, being a woman that I would bulk up. Three years ago I ran the San Diego marathon; if I had understood then that toning my muscles would have made me stronger, I would probably have had a better time. I see myself getting toned and I also burn more calories at rest during the day! Working with James has also brought out more of my self-confidence. His personality is so positive and friendly.
