Jim started training to augment his performance on the football field and that is when he was bitten by the fitness bug.   While successfully competing as a football athlete, he followed his passion for sports and physical performance, majoring in Health Fitness at Springfield College, Massachusetts.

In addition to his academic knowledge, Jim sought an education in the “real world,” working with athletes and fitness enthusiasts of all types at major health clubs.   After college, he became certified by both the International Sports Science Association and the National Federation of Personal Trainers.

For over ten years, Jim has been helping individuals from all walks of life create measurable improvements in their health, physiques and performance.
