James Sutliff Fitness

James is quite simply an inspiration.I had followed James' story closely on social media and decided to use his services to kick start my gym sessions.His knowledge and experience was obvious in our first session and I knew I'd made the right choice. He seemed to have a 6th sense when we were doing the sessions to ensure I got the most out of each session.I can highly recommend James' services if you're needing that kick start or require a professional PT who can take you to that next level. Please make sure you read up on his inspirational journey and give his services a go!Thanks James, you're a top man

I have been having weekly personal training sessions through the Matt Hampson Foundation with James since early summer 2021. These sessions have greatly improved my strength, stamina, overall fitness and confidence. James is very approachable, and is a very encouraging and motivating coach. He offers support to try new things and encourages me to push myself. James has a great sense of humour and his ability to empathise and understand challenges faced by people wirh so many different disabilities is admirable. I never regret going to my training sessions and would 100% recommend James to anybody.

Since starting my training sessions with James in mid July, I’ve seen a huge change in my body, and my athletic performance. I am a high level epee fencer and my training needs are quite specific. James took the time to understand my training needs and made sure that all relevant muscle groups were worked fully. Training with a dedicated, motivating trainer, made the sessions a lot easier than it would have been doing myself. The physical change his workand effort has brought me has done me a world of good and I can’t thank him enough this has shown in my performance and results so far this season. James is a very hard working person and makes training so much more enjoyable. It’s always a pleasure to see James at my sessions to kick start my day.

After training weekly with James for over a year now my life has completely changed for the better.James was very supportive when I first started at the gym and understanding of my disability.He now helps motivate me on a daily basis, teach me new ways of training and is always available to talk.I would highly recommend James to anyone looking to get into fitness.

James is incredible! Without question, I feel so fortunate to be a client. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, considerate, encouraging and equally hilarious. I cannot encourage enough how wonderful he is, I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with him!

2 years ago I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I was at the point where I couldn't leave the house and when I did the anxiety attacks kicked in pushing me towards suicide.I started training with James in January 2018 and wish I'd found him sooner!He's such an inspiration and a really great person. Since training with him my anxiety attacks have gone from 3-4 a day to roughly 2 a week!!He has completely changed my life and mindset for the better, his encouragement and enthusiasm really keeps you pushing to get that extra rep or the extra weight to lift.I genuinely look forward to my training sessions.I really do owe my life to my wife who initially contacted James and to James himself!Top bloke and top trainer!!

I stumbled across James while looking for a personal trainer that specialised in people with a disability. I have Cerebral Palsy and were just looking to generally get moving a bit more and build a bit of strength all over. James has really helped me get motivated and want to get training more. He doesn’t let my disability get in the way of our workouts, if my disability makes it difficult to do a certain exercise, he adapts the training to something that I can deal with while still achieving the same end result.The way he demonstrates and explains the exercises makes it easy to understand and take back to my own workouts in the gym, knowing that I’m doing the right thing to reach my individual goal. The sessions I have are always fun and tailored to suit my own needs, it really shows that he is passionate about what he does.James is always smiling and his enthusiasm for what he does really shines through. Knowing a bit about what he has had to deal with and what he has achieved so far, really makes you feel that he can help you along the way to achieve your goal.If you’re looking for a personal trainer, whether you have a disability or not, I highly recommend James to help you.

I have regularly been having training sessions with Sutty since last summer and couldn’t be happier with the improvement I’ve made from then to now. Working with Sutty is often the highlight of my weeks and leave me feeling accomplished with myself but also just mentally positive. Sutty is patient and such a burst of good energy, I couldn’t ask to improve anything.Sutty makes sure I get absolutely everything I can out of every session I have and works me very hard, but always manages to keep a smile on my face even when I’m feeling my absolute worst after an exerciseMy training needs can be quite unique as I’m in a wheelchair, but innovating is what sutty thrives off. He’s always thinking of new ways I can do exercises and how I can fully maximise my session with him.Thanks to Sutty my quality of life since being in a wheelchair has dramatically improved. He has helped me when I have been at my lowest and pulled me out of difficult places.Couldn’t ask for a better trainer let alone a better friend.

I’ve been struggling to get into any kind of meaningful fitness routine for years and have always found going to the gym to lift weights extremely daunting.I’ve been working with James since the start of the year, and for someone who usually hates exercising, it’s been great! James is brilliant at making the gym accessible, encouraging gradual improvement each week, rather than beasting you at the start and putting you off. I now have the confidence and motivation to go the a gym on my own on days I don’t have PT - something I would never have seen my self doing before training with James. I have a long way to go fitness wise, but now have the confidence knowing that I can turn this round.I can’t praise James highly enough, he’s always positive and we always have a laugh during the sessions.
