My training experience
I’m an NASM Certified Personal Trainer + Nutrition Coach who’s CPR/AED certified. I am also EMS certified and have over two years of experience with ElectroMuscleStimulation! If you don’t know what that is, I can’t wait to show you!
I have over 6 years of experience coaching clients both 1-on-1 (ranging from expecting mothers, couples, those with illnesses/injuries, + a couple C-Suite executives with a need for privacy and discretion) as well as group fitness classes of up to 25 people across multiple modalities.
I’ve recomped my body from scratch multiple times and have extensive knowledge in natural transformations as well as supplements, peptides, anabolics, and body scans.
I have suffered from severe body image issues throughout my life and strive to make my clients feel safe, comfortable, and confident both in the gym as well as their life outside the gym.

JD is a FANTASTIC trainer, knowledgeable, approachable, and flexible. He is genuinely interested in my fitness goals and offers a pragmatic program for me to hit them. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to anyone looking for an outstanding personal trainer in DFW!
JD is truly a one of a kind trainer. He not only is technically proficient and professional but he genuinely cares about his clients as people. As a former college athlete, I can undoubtably say he’s one of the most talented fitness professionals I’ve ever been around. A perfect balance of leading by example, teaching and motivating - my only regret is that I won’t be here to receive his training in person after I move! Thank you JD, you make working out rewarding and fun!
I have had trainers my whole life and James is my favorite so far! He is so fun, flexible with scheduling, and has helped me get great results! Great price packages too for sessions! You won’t regret!
JD is an amazing coach!!! I’ve tried multiple trainers in the past but never found one I felt comfortable with and always ended up quitting after a couple of weeks. JD has managed to make me feel comfortable and safe while working out and also pushes me without ever coming off as a drill sergeant or as if he’s rushing to get me through so he can move on to his next client. I love his positive energy and how he motivates me to push myself harder each time and can even make me laugh while doing something I hate. I’ve lost 8 pounds in a month so I definitely feel inspired to keep pushing!
The early-morning classes are perfect for my schedule. JD is a great coach and is hilarious. But, don't be fooled…his workouts can be hard. The great thing is there are always modifications for every workout so the classes are good for everyone.
Taking JD's class is an experience you must have at least once in your life. The energy is electrifying, and JD's killer smile keeps you motivated from start to finish. And those dance moves he busts out to encourage you?!? Solid as can be, adding a unique flair and an entertaining twist to the workout! There's truly nothing else like it. JD brings it all, making every class an unforgettable ride!
JD is amazing! He helped me feel right at home in my first class and corrected my form in a way that encouraged me, cheering me on and helping me feel proud of myself and while also helping me row a little bit further and better each time he came over. I will definitely be back!
Loved JD's class! Fierce okay! He’s high energy and does a great job. Just starting out my much needed work out journey. Glad I signed up.
I never really enjoyed rowing, but JD made that hour so much fun! The music, the routine, the light changes, it was all perfect. He knows how to keep you motivated and engaged the entire time and you definitely get a solid workout. He makes it challenging but achievable. JD knows what he’s doing!
JD is an excellent instructor. He is very encouraging and supportive. I love his classes!!!!
I enjoy taking JD's classes because he makes the rowing experience fun! He is personable, hilarious, and does a great job coaching the class and giving you modifications for the floor work (if needed) - which I greatly appreciate with my joint issues. I highly recommend signing up for one of his classes, and he has a slamming playlist!
I had my first class with JD, and the class was awesome. He is such a great instructor and is so motivating and fun. I already booked my next class!
JD is great! Love the customer service and his workouts are awesome!
JD is my absolute favorite! He is so welcoming, kind, encouraging and just the right amount of sassy. I love going to his classes and he is a huge part of why I get I am able to get up at 5am to go workout.
