About Me

I’m James, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to Wellness Works, a place where my passion for health and wellness transforms into solid advice and inspiration for you. Here’s a little about why I wake up every day driven to share the best of fitness and well-being with our community.

My relationship with health and fitness isn’t a casual fling; it’s a committed, long-term journey that started 21 years ago. It’s been a road marked with sweat, determination, and the sheer joy of surpassing personal limits. That’s the energy that powers Wellness Works.

You might be curious about what drives someone to dedicate 2.5 hours a day, 6 days a week, to the gym. Well, the answer is simple: It’s not just a routine; it’s my way of life. Whether it’s the clanking of weights or the rhythm of a punching bag at my MMA gym, each moment is a step toward a stronger version of myself.

You’re going to find out about my self-taught training methods that have shaped me and how these experiences are woven into the fabric of Wellness Works. It’s my mission to ensure you have access to the knowledge that took me years to acquire and apply.

Beyond the Weights: My Life and Hobbies

Now, let’s step outside the gym for a moment. At 39, I’ve found that my enthusiasm for health and wellness isn’t confined to just the four walls where I lift weights. My dedication extends into every aspect of my life, including how I unwind and what piques my interest outside of my workouts.

You might be intrigued to know that my experience in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has enriched my approach to fitness. The discipline, strength, and agility required for MMA have a direct correlation to the workouts I craft for myself and for Wellness Works. This cross-training enhances not only my physical capabilities but also fortifies my mental toughness.

I pride myself on being largely self-taught—a testament to the power of persistence and self-motivation. My daily 2.5-hour routines are a mix of structured training and experimentation with new workout styles and techniques. I’m constantly researching, studying, and incorporating fresh ideas that can benefit both my physique and those of my clients at Wellness Works.

Supplementation is another area where I channel my inner geek. Selecting the right supplements is key to maximizing results and recovery. It’s like a science, trying new products to determine what works for me and trust me, I take this as seriously as my workouts.

While devouring fitness literature and fine-tuning my routine is a significant part of my life, I also believe in balance. Time outside the gym is spent enjoying life’s other pleasures, forming meaningful relationships, and engaging in hobbies that feed my soul. This balanced approach is something I encourage everyone at Wellness Works to embrace—it is essential for lasting wellness.

I hope my story resonates with you, whether you’re a fellow fitness aficionado or just starting on your journey. I’m here to support you, to share what I’ve learned, and to provide a community where your health and wellness goals can thrive. Together, we can push past our limits and enjoy the process along the way. If you’re ready to start or you just want to chat about the latest fitness trends, drop me a line. See you at Wellness Works!
