About JD
Hi! My name is JD! I’m 29, a Cancer, and more importantly an NASM Certified Personal Trainer! •My fitness journey began at a young age trying to find a sport I would enjoy. After a few attempts and failures I discovered a passion/excelled in Track & Field. I was always a skinny kid and had a desire to build muscle but found myself intimidated by gyms and would often literally hide out in the bathroom during lifting days. After graduating high school I became a dancer/go-go boy/stripper, and my body was on display and judged nightly as I worked to put myself through community college. It was such an interesting awakening to be so vulnerable and have my body on display in that way and it inspired me to get my first ever gym membership. • I had major gym anxiety and went to 24 Hour Fitness so I could work out super late when it was empty. I hated going at peak busy hours (still do but now for different reasons lol) because I was intimidated and felt awkward, like everyone was judging me, and all those crazy social anxiety feelings a lot of us get. While I had no clue what I was doing at first, I took it upon myself to do the work and research as well. I eventually became more and more confident at the gym, saw some decent physical changes, and most importantly I really just FELT BETTER and ended up loving and looking forward to working out each day •NOW, I look forward to sharing the knowledge I’ve gained with you all and hope to help inspire and actively take part in helping others reach their ultimate potential. I’ve struggled with body image issues and know exactly what it’s like to be intimidated by the gym so I can definitely relate and want all my clients to feel safe and comfortable with me and get to the point I’m at now where they have an active love for (well at least don’t hate lol) fitness. My goal is to help women and gay men get in the best shape of their lives and feel confident and happy. I welcome people of all ages, genders, races, sexualities, belief systems, and levels of experience

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!
