Better Bolder Body

Meet James

James is the founder and trainer behind Better Bolder Body. He holds a Master’s degree in Kinesiology, a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, and is a National Strength & Conditioning Association Certified Personal Trainer (NSCA-CPT).

With over two decades of experience teaching secondary physical education and training athletes at both the scholastic and collegiate levels, James brings a deep understanding of movement, performance, and long-term physical health.

His training philosophy centers on improving overall fitness through low-impact, high-intensity workouts that deliver results without unnecessary strain. This approach has proven highly effective for helping everyday individuals build strength, move better, and stay active for the long run.

Outside the gym, James is an avid golfer who prefers walking the course—living the same active lifestyle he helps his clients achieve.

After experiencing balance issues and frequent falls, I began training with James and saw a complete turnaround. I am no longer obese, my dress sizes continue to decrease, and I feel better now than I have in years. James’s expertise in geriatric fitness helped restore my balance, strength, confidence, and energy — even transforming me from a lifelong night owl into a consistent morning exerciser. His thoughtful, safe, and effective training approach made all the difference.

Testimonials

James makes the workouts fun even though you are working hard. He is professional, and friendly. My physician recommended for me to get a routine for health. James has assisted me with this. I am able to tease him and he teases back. This makes the workouts enjoyable. I am a senior male and have been with James for about 2 years. He is also assisting me with strengthening after 2 shoulder replacements. I highly recommend him as a professional trainer.

My name is Sylmar I am a 64 year old avid road cyclist. James and I met a few days prior to me training with him to discuss my training goals. During that conversation I was comfortable and impressed with James as he was extremely attentive. James is an absolute professional, he kept the training sessions cycling specific with a focus on strength and flexibility. During our training sessions James was friendly, supportive, progressive, and knowledgeable and I would gladly recommend James to anyone seeking a personal trainer.

We’ve been working together about 2 to 3 years. I am a senior female. Have arthritis. James is very patient, professional, friendly and has been able to work around my medical problems. He’s also made working out fun. Which before it never was. I feel better and stronger. Originally my goal was to be able to get off the ground by myself, when I fall or do something on the floor. After meeting that goal, it was to get fit and be able to move easier. Losing weight a plus. Last years goal was to be able to go on a cruise and walk on the excursions. Goals met: able to get off ground, made the excursions, have gotten stronger, and having fun. James has become a great friend who also is very encouraging. My physician is very happy with my progress. I highly encourage him as a professional trainer.
