About
Hi,
I'm James.
I'm a personal trainer in Chichester and the coach behind Right Mind Fitness. I help people get stronger, fitter and more confident, in the gym, on the trails and in how they think about training.

The philosophy
Why “Right Mind”?
To attain the physical, you must have the mental. Most people don't need another workout. They need the confidence, consistency and support to keep showing up.
You are capable of great things. My job is to meet you where you're at and help you break down the barriers between you and what's on the other side. We'll look at how you move, how you eat and how you live, and build from there.
Every client gets a plan built around them and a weekly check-in with me. That accountability is where the real progress happens.
Dragon's Back Race
I don't just coach it. I've done it.
In September 2023 I ran and finished the Dragon's Back Race: six days along the spine of Wales, from Conwy Castle to Cardiff Castle, over Yr Wyddfa, Cadair Idris and Pen y Fan.
It taught me more about mindset, fuelling, recovery and strength than any course could. That experience goes into every running plan I write.

The gym
A private space to train
In-person sessions take place at my own training unit in Chichester. It's fully kitted out with racks, barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells and conditioning kit, and because it's private there are no crowds and no queuing for equipment.
