James Jones

I am a self-starter who thrives in an environment where I can utilize my organizational, problem-solving and Customer Service skills. I have very strong written and oral communication skills. I am flexible and quick to learn and adapt.

I am passionate about helping clients build stronger, faster, and healthier versions of themselves. I believe everyone should have their own personalized workout regime based on personalized goals. I want to assist client’s in building a strong foundation by strengthening their core musculature, and to help maximize the body's movement patterns.

I believe in the science behind athletic training and feel that although workouts should be challenging, they shouldn't leave clients feeling sore and unable to function the next day.
