A Bit About Me

From a truck driving and farming background, I completed training in 1999 at the Australian Institute of Fitness in Perth.

As a 40 year old bloke, I didn't fit into the young trendy membership gym scene, so I worked at the Bunbury Regional Prison as a fitness instructor and then started a small personal training business.

A move to Rockhampton, in 2004 provided further opportunities for my business including gentle-gym for older adults and working with community care service providers.

Since 2010 I have worked my business west of Brisbane, involved within the mental health, drug & offender rehabilitation and disability sector.

My focus in recent years has been as a wellness coach and counsellor. It is to provide options for individuals to take control of their personal fitness journey by becoming the change agent for their own destiny.
Im a big believer in people taking ownership of their own lives and relying less on others to sort out their health issues.

I started using the services of Nigel James last month and have been encouraged by his support and willingness to keep me accountable for my desired fitness gains, especially next year. He understands my abilities and adjusts his program accordingly. I certainly recommend him as a health coach!

I have known Nigel since Sep 2019 when he assisted me with several gardening projects. More recently Nigel has been mentoring me with my Health & Wellness journey giving me guidance in healthy eating habits & putting together an exercise program to aid me in rebuilding my muscle tone & generally regain my fitness after a period of chronic pain and fatigue. I have found the sessions with Nigel very engaging & informative, he has been extremely patient & supportive at the same time & is deeply passionate about promoting living your best life through healthy eating & consistent active exercise whether it's working out, working in the garden or walking the dog everything counts.

I'm writing this reference for Nigel James who I have known since 2011. He has both encouraged and participated with me in various cycling events around Brisbane. We have also participated in fitness sessions over the years and although he doesn't ride daily as I have continued to do, as a health coach he does genuinely support me in my wellness regime.
