About Me
Behind every great athlete, entrepreneur, executive, etc. is a great coach
My name is Shawn James, and I am a Fitness Lifestyle Coach. I help men and women to achieve their dreams, discover their purpose, improve their confidence, start a business, improve personal health & fitness, maximize time management, set & achieve their goals, get past difficult life challenges, lose weight, gain muscle, regain balance in all areas of your life and become a peak performer in whatever field you choose to be in.
I love helping people and sharing my knowledge built up over my career, whether it’s in the gym, at a seminar, or online. I want to inspire and motivate people of all ages and share the importance of the consistency needed in both training and nutrition.
I specialize in both online training/coaching and a busy one on one personal training schedule in Arcadia, Ca. I can help you get the results you want - regardless of your fitness goals and experience level. Regardless if you are in Arcadia, Pasadena or across the world, it's time to put yourself in the hands of a professional who lives this lifestyle day in and day out.
I will coach anyone who has a sincere desire to overcome their fears and limiting beliefs (known or unknown) to make their greatest dreams, goals & outcomes become a reality.
At this point in my life I am living my dream. Most of my time is spent improving myself and my clients, whether that’s in the gym or learning something that will add value into me and my clients lives. I want to help you live your dream, I want you to add value to your life, I want you to feel healthy and confident in yourself. I am passionate about helping people achieve lasting results and build habits that will keep them healthy for a lifetime and to help people achieve their best physiques possible.
I have over ten years experience working as a personal trainer, learning not just how to create amazing physical transformations, but also to help create sustainable health habits. These important habits allow those on my training programs not only to achieve their ideal body, but to also foster a healthy energy and vitality that makes any task in life easier to accomplish..
My mentality is very much to stay dedicated to a goal and, if I want something, I will see it through to the end.
I have experience working with men and women interested in general fitness, reducing body fat, gaining lean muscle mass, total body transformations, contest prep and more!

“All my clients have one thing in common – they drastically underestimate what their body is capable of.
I am here to help my clients not only reclaim their health, but give them confidence in what their body
can do and in the way it can look!”
personal training, helping clients get into shape whilst addressing previous injuries and weaknesses.”
Clients would be apprehensive about embarking on a personal training program given their history of
injury or lack of activity, and I felt that most trainers lacked the experience or education required to help.”

For those who want to optimize their fitness, while achieving their life goals all without paying the cost of
their health, that is where my online personal training programs and online fitness content offers an ever
evolving solution. I’m excited to join you as we work together toward a long healthy and successful life.
You’ve probably already tried dozens of strategies to lose weight and get fit; diet pills, gym memberships
and taking supplements have left you disappointed. Your Personal Trainer understands this and provide you with both the physical resources and mental tools to push your boundaries, and get the body you deserve. Get the help you need right now to overcome illness and rediscover your youth.
​
I provide training, nutrition guidance and accountability that strives to make fitness and health a valued and enjoyable part of your life, rather than a chore. I take men and women that have had a stop-start relationship with exercise and “dieting”, and give them the tools, guidance and support to not only achieve impressive short-term body transformations, but also to create the framework to keep and build upon their results for life. We implemented nutrition and lifestyle coaching as standard into every one of our packages. For over a decade I’ve been helping men and women achieve results they never thought were possible.
If you find yourself nodding or muttering “yes” to any of these questions…
• Have you found clothes fitting snugger and snugger each passing year, all in the “wrong” areas?
• Were you shocked the last time you stepped onto the scales (or actively avoid doing so)?
• Ever found yourself wheezing like you’ve just run an Ironman after climbing a flight of stairs, or attempted an impromptu kickabout in the garden?
• Have you found yourself internally cringing whenever a full-body shot of you gets uploaded to Facebook, and you can see your physique from a less-than-flattering angle?
• Do you wish you could just look forward to holidays, without dreading how you’ll feel on the beach?
• Have you started to recognize that taking action isn’t all about being vain, rather being around to be active and present for your family (be it partner, kids, or (future or current) grandkids)?
• Have you been discouraged by a boring training plan or bland diet in the past, and though that “dieting” & “training” just aren’t for you’?
Now its time now to do something about it!

My Mission
I love helping people stick with something that they not only get great results from but that they enjoy too. Nowadays, people know that their physical and mental health is worth investing in, recognising the benefits of outsourcing all the management of their health and fitness to a professional. I am 100% committed to helping you build better relationships with food and your own body, while building strength and confidence that will take not just your fitness, but your whole life to the next level.
The side effects of ageing can leave you feeling unhappy with the way you look and feel. My strength training plans will see you lose body fat, build strong muscles to see you feeling confident and comfortable wearing favourite clothes.
