James specialised in assessing individual needs to ensure all round fitness and wellbeing, devising programs encompassing diet and nutrition, physical exercise, relaxation and time management. With a vast and varied client base he supported athletes and fitness professionals in corrective exercise, injury rehabilitation and high performance conditioning to help them achieve they goals. He also ran a team of Personal Trainers at the Royal Berkshire club and as graduate of the CHEK institute had firm beliefs about the benefits of functional training but also supporting clients in a more holistic way to help them achieve their goals. So very much a 1:1 training approach. Group exercise classes were often aimed at the more experienced individuals and in a class of 30 it is almost impossible to provide the right coaching and support on technique and to structure a class to suit all abilities so many clients were giving up after just a few sessions or picking up injuries.
James was always researching new ideas, techniques, equipment to introduce to his clients and was one of the early adopters of the stability ball developing many programmes built around this equipment and use of own body weight.
It was during one of these research phases that James came across the science of rebounding - and he was blown away by not only the many scientifically proven benefits of bouncing on a high quality mini-trampoline, but also that it was low impact, was weight bearing, and it was possible to devise workout routines in a group setting that were truly inclusive. Everyone could do a rebounding class, regardless of age, gender or fitness level. Best of all it was such a FUN class most people did not even think of it as exercise!
To shorten the story, James teamed up with one of his clients who was in the "I don't like exercise" camp and after a short period working with a rebounder they teamed up to form the Rebound Fitness business.
