James White Coaching: Personal Training & Nutrition

22/07/2025

Elinor hadn’t been in a gym since 1992.

She did the 30-day trial and now she’s feeling;
- more confident
- stronger

and more importantly enjoying it 😀

She was nervous before starting which is totally normal, but it didn’t take her long to settle in.

If you’re thinking about giving the 30 Day Trial a go but not sure where to start, just drop me a message.

You don’t have to be fit before you start. That’s the whole point.

"...by far been one of the best things I've done for myself"

I got this review the other day from Karen, who’s been training with me for 3 years now.

I love seeing how far people can come, not just in fitness, but in confidence. That’s one of the main reasons why I run the sessions the way I do.

It’s not about perfect technique/form or chasing numbers.
It’s about helping women feel comfortable, supported, and able to turn up for themselves each week. No matter where they started from!

If this feels like the kind of training you’ve been looking for, send me a message. Always happy to chat.

You don’t have to be “gym ready.” You just have to start.

Misplaced focus on weight loss alone!

Many women come to fitness focused exclusively on weight loss numbers.
As Mandy discovered,
"There is more to getting fit than watching the scales. All of me needed to 'get fit' before I could start to like myself again."
When women shift from pursuing weight loss to building strength and well-being, the results often exceed their original goals.

💪 Strength Training: A Boost for Mental Health in Older Adults 💪

Did you know that lifting weights can do more than just build muscle?
(P.S. not a bad thing, nor will it make you bulky).

It can also improve your mental health, especially as we age.

A recent study published in February 2024 found that resistance training significantly improved mental health outcomes in older adults, particularly those dealing with depression and anxiety. Participants who engaged in strength training reported better mood, reduced stress, and overall improved well-being.

Also, I'll add that training in small groups can enhance mental health by encouraging social connections and reducing feelings of isolation. Exercising with others not only makes workouts more enjoyable but also provides a sense of community and support.🤩

So, if you're looking to feel stronger and happier, consider joining a small group strength training session. It's a great way to boost your body and mind.

💪 STRENGTH TRAINING 💪
It’s never too late to start—but starting sooner is always better.

So many of the women I coach come in thinking their body is too old, too painful, or too far gone to change.

But here’s the truth:
👉 Your body is capable of incredible change at ANY age. It just needs the right approach.

✅ Chronic pain? I work around it—and often reduce it.
✅ No gym experience? Perfect. This is where you begin.
✅ Over 40, 50, 60+? I coach women in their 30s right through to their 70s.
✅ Nervous to start? Totally normal—but change only happens when you do.

Strength training isn’t just about “getting fit”—it’s about:
🧠 Rebuilding confidence
🦴 Improving muscle & bone quality
💪 Boosting strength & mobility
🔥 Reclaiming your energy, independence & quality of life

📩 Not sure where to start? DM me “STRONG” and I’ll help you take that first step—just like I’ve done for so many women before you.

You’re not too old! You’re not too broken! You’re just getting started 😀

This episode shows the difference just 8 weeks of strength training can make - even in later life!+ The first 1,000 people to use my link will get a full yea...

" Before joining James to train I had been suffering with chronic back pain and wondered if weight training would help me. Waiting to see a pain clinic is fine but what about taking things into my own hands and doing something to help myself?

To be honest I am still in pain but the difference is my mindset has changed. I can feel my body getting stronger, fitter and toning up.

I honestly wish I had started sooner, it’s so encouraging to see, even at my age (67) that my body is still capable of change. Having my strength increased and toning up is already helping me manage my pain better.

James takes into account any ailments or pains we all have and adjusts the exercises accordingly. He doesn’t ‘make’ us do anything but encourages us to push ourselves even the slightest bit which benefits our bodies even more.
Getting up and going, especially in Winter months is definitely challenging but it’s like anything, if you don’t try you just give up.

I would say to any woman, give it a try, I think you’ll be very surprised. My first session I couldn't balance on one knee and cannot believe how far I’ve come.

There are women of all ages, no posers lol and we work hard (most of the time) and have a laugh, especially at some of the noises we make. James is an encourager, meets you where you are and gently takes you to the next level. If however, you’re a seasoned weight trainer he will adjust everything to suit you. We all work at different levels which is very encouraging for me as it lets me see where I could be someday.

I absolutely love the training and have no intentions of giving it up any time soon.
I started with a one to one session so if I felt embarrassed I had no witnesses lol. It was great and highly recommend anyone wanting to start to do that."

Can you relate to any of these?

12/02/2025

Do you find yourself getting to 3 or 4 pm and having to grab another coffee to perk yourself up?

If you do...

I get it - I've got two young kids, and a business to run, so you're not alone.

But something I know helps women like you is:

🍎 working on your nutrition
🏋‍♀️ becoming more active

If you start drinking more water, eating more protein and moving more often, you'll find you gain more energy.

And those 3 or 4pm slumps will become a thing of the past.

Now...

You could go and do this yourself.

But we both know it'll last a few weeks and fall off.

So, how about you give yourself the support you deserve this time? You don’t have to do it alone.

My 42-Strong program is designed for women like you.

-Who have been out of the fitness game for a bit and ready for a kickstart to get it back on track.

- Who want to make some smart changes to their lifestyle so they feel more like their old selves.

We start Monday.

I've got 4️⃣/10 spaces left.

Private message me if you're interested 🙂

Have you been out of the fitness game for a bit?

Are you looking for something that gives you a (friendly) kick up the arse, a workout programme that gets you results (but doesn’t hurt you) and a welcoming community of other women?

If you answered yes to any of those…

My new programme, 42 Strong, is perfect for you!

Starting Monday the 17th of Feb, you’ll enter a 6-week fitness journey.

💪 You’ll lift weights twice per week in my small-group personal training sessions.

🚶‍♀️You’ll commit to doing movement on your non-gym days.

📥 And you’ll commit to updating the other 42 Strong ladies, so you stay accountable.

You’ll walk out after 6-weeks feeling far fitter, stronger, healthier and leaner.

So your clothes fit better, and you feel more confident in your skin.

It is the perfect kickstart if you’ve lost your exercise-mojo in the last few months/ years or not been in a gym in years.

Or you've lost all hope in your new year's resolutions.

I’ve got 4 spaces left

We start Monday!

Feeling like you need to near-on kill yourself every workout to see results?

Most of my clients used to think the same.

Those intense, sweaty sessions can feel good... until your body starts complaining.

When you're dealing with aches or old injuries, going full throttle is rarely the answer.

Sometimes your body's trying to tell you there's a better way.

That's why my small-group sessions are different.

We work hard (and you'll definitely feel it!), but we also have a laugh along the way.

No military-style shouting or pressure - just good vibes and proper, expert coaching...

That's actually tailored to you and your body.

Each session is capped at 5 women, so you get the attention you need while meeting others on the same journey.

We focus on strength training that:

Builds real strength 💪
Works around your injuries 🤕
Gets results without the burnout 🙌
Makes you feel at home in the gym 🙋‍♀️

Plus, it's women-only, so you can feel comfortable being yourself!

I'm about to launch a new program focusing on these kind of principles

Strong 42

It's 6-weeks to give you a royally good kickstart / gentle kick up the backside with your exercise.

You'll commit to doing something every day for the full 6-weeks.

You'll commit to showing to our small-group PT sessions 2 times per week

And you'll have a community of lovely local women to stay accountable to.

Private message me if you're interested.
