Bspoke Strength and Performance

James at BSpoke is a great trainer and coach, with years of experience. James is great at analysing how your body moves and helping you to optimise your training for your specific goals, whether it be weight loss, improving fitness or performing better in sports or daily life.

I contacted James because I was having issues with my knees during Brazilian jiu jitsu classes. My knees are hyper mobile and they kept popping out of place and locking out in the middle of fights which eventually led to a partial tear on the meniscus on both knees. James devised a set of exercises to strengthen and stabilise the joints to prevent further injury and also aid in the recovery of the meniscus tear. He did a really amazing job of talking me through how to best perform the exercises and really helped me see how important it is to do everything in a controlled, mindful way.I am now back to jiu jitsu training, the injuries have recovered fully and neither knee has locked out in months. Highly recommended!

James helped me lose loads of weight over the 2 years I have been with him. Helped me improve my strength massively, I am now way more healthy and stronger, He prepared me for playing rugby at my new school and I can now play much better

Unlike the other PT's I've used, James adapts my training programme for each session based on factors like my stress levels, sleep (or lack of), muscle tightness or alignment issues. He takes great care to make sure we warm up, activate muscles and achieve mobility in problem areas (like my left shoulder) before adding any load. This highly personalised approach has helped my posture, my climbing and my snowboarding no-end. The progress I've made has been life changing and although my journey is far from over it's thanks to James that I have finally found a sustainable way to progress my fitness despite my busy home and work life.

I was recommended to James by the equally brilliant sports physio who works at his place to help with an ongoing upper back problem. I joined one of his evening lads workouts and then booked weekly 1-1 PT sessions. In the space of a month my mobility has improved enormously along with general strength and conditioning. Having been a reasonably regular gym use for 30+ years, with various PT's, I've never met anyone with the level of knowledge that James has. Every session is bespoke, targets what I'm trying to achieve but all based on resolving the underlying back issues. Whatever you're looking to achieve, James is your man!

Highly recommended. James will design a workout to suit your abilities and goals
