    James Paul

    James Paul has been a personal trainer for over a decade with expertise in many areas of concentration including functional strength, core strength, and numerous other areas. Health and wellness topics have always been a pleasure of his. James takes deep pride in working and studying areas that could benefit special populations. These are groups which are normally turned away by most trainers as the trainer seems to fear the condition of the potential client. Everything he shares is what he has learned as a personal trainer who researches health based topics as if it was his sole purpose.
