ABOUT ME

In my senior year of high school (2010), I hurt my back deadlifting.

My school had a competitive powerlifting team and most athletes took part. Our coaches were history and math teachers and totally unqualified. One day during practice I lowered the bar incorrectly and blew out my L4 and L5 discs.

I couldn’t walk for 6 months.

After several consultations with specialists, doctors, surgeons, and chiropractors that all said I would need surgery and never play sports again or be active/physical. I rehabbed my injury and went on to join the Army.

Here I learned how much I loved to train other soldiers. One training exercise before deployment a man in my team had taken a simulated IED blast. He was a huge dude and I had to pull him out of the blast zone and into safety. I wasn’t strong enough to pull him. This was all simulated but the instructors reminded me that he died and it was my fault.

These are the two main events that brought me to where I am—the importance of being healthy, being strong, and knowing what you’re doing.

I hurt myself working out because I had no coaching. I couldn’t save my friend because I wasn’t strong enough. Anyone of these things could happen to anyone of us. I love to teach and pass on knowledge. It’s what sets me on fire!

I want people to be well informed and educated about how to use their bodies.

This is the reason and passion that drives me. Over the years, I’ve gone through several coaching seminars and programs to become the best.

Every session I have with my clients is a complete experience. We are doing more than working the body. I help to train the mind as well.

James is more than a trainer. He’s a shaman, friend, bodyworker. James has changed the way I live in my body, in a most sustainable and healthy way.

I started out as a weak child, but through blood, sweat, and tears I have been transformed into the peak of masculinity: a jacked beauty. Now all the ladies, and even most men, faint as I walk by. I couldn’t have done it with out my lord and savior, James Moore at One Moore Rep Fitness. Tarps off, brah!

I can’t say enough about how much I enjoy training with James! The workouts are challenging and fun. I have little knowledge in strength training but James explains everything clearly so I understand the goals he has written for me. However, the aspect I appreciate most in his coaching is his patience and encouragement.

When I started working out with James, I was brand new to lifting weights. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but am fortunate that James was the one showing me the ropes. I’ve enjoyed our many workouts as well as our conversations on fitness, health, and life. Working out with James has helped me become not only stronger but also more confident in myself and my abilities as an athlete. I always look forward to our workouts!
