Reviews of James Sutliff Fitness

J. M.

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.

My husband Tim, met James 2yrs a go though the Matt Hampson Foundation where he has a 1-1 PT session with him. Having a spinal cord injury and being wheelchair user, his quality of life was pretty poor and he had no sense of pride or real routine after having to give up his job. His was in constant pain, sleeping a few hours a day and serious mental health problems. Although these issues are still present. With James’s coaching, friendship and encouragement he’s learned to channel the pain into something constructive. He’s given him structure, belief and purpose to keep pushing forward and fighting his injury. He’s lost 4 stone in weight and has a passion for life again. The nutrition advice James gave Tim really helped us both to eat in a much healthier way. Every session with James just lifts his spirits, he kept him going through lockdown with zoom sessions and YouTube workout routines. The difference in him after a session with James is unbelievable. It keeps him lifted for the rest of the week. Seeing what he did for Tim, inspired me to get fit and healthy and I used his Youtube videos to start my own fitness journey. Again, another 4 stone weight loss for me too. James excels every day, seeing him overcome his own disability leaves everyone inspired and drives all his clients to do more. He doesn’t care what ability or disability you have. He adapts to your needs and pushes you to achieve things you never thought possible. All the while improving your fitness and making you stronger. He never lets his own disability stop him being there for everyone else. James is completely selfless and has turned a dire situation into a unique gift and ability to help others transform their lives. I’m not sure where Tim would be today if he hadn’t been lucky enough to have had his life transformed by James. I can’t rate him highly enough. Thank you James for giving me my husband back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

Working with James has been transformative. Not only have my fitness levels improved hugely over the three years we’ve been working together but it has also ignited a passion and love for exercising and challenging myself that I didn’t have before my accident. I am actually excited by exercise!

I have a spinal cord injury C3-C6. When James “Sutty “ Sutliff starting training me he quickly assessed my condition and adapts all my sessions to keep building up my strength and increasing my stamina. I’ve come such a long way from where I started because of his great training and encouragement all the time. Plus You can’t beat the banter we have together

T. G.

James “Sutty” is such a great bloke and would do anything for you. I’ve been working with Sutty since my spinal cord injury 18 months ago. I thoroughly enjoy my sessions with him and have come on loads since I started when I first saw James I struggled to curl 1/2 a kilo now I curl 9kg for 10 on that arm, I am getting so much stronger and fitter!

S. W.

James “Sutty” has an incredible ability to maximise your potential. He knows when to put the pressure on but also when to take it off. I have worked with Sutty for over two years and he understands my goals and helps me achieve them, whether they are performance based or aesthetic based. Sutty makes every session fantastic and it’s an honour to work with such a great guy!

I met James 2yrs a go though the Matt Hampson Foundation where I have a 1-1 PT session with him. Having a spinal cord injury and being wheelchair user my quality of life was pretty poor and I’d no sense of pride or real routine. My life revolved around pain, little sleep and mental health problems. Although these issues are still present. With James’s coaching, friendship and encouragement I’ve learned to channel the pain into something constructive. He’s given me structure, belief and purpose to keep pushing forward. The result is a 4 stone weight loss and a passion for life again. Every session with James just lifts your spirits, he kept me going through lockdown with zoom sessions and YouTube workout routines.

I started trainning with James a few months ago. In that time myself confidence has grown and my fitness has improved. As a PT is creative and thinks 'outside of the box'. Despite the fact I'm a wheelchair user James has found wide range of exercises I can do in order to get fitter. He pushes you to your limit, but doesn't make you feel pressured. I would recommend James to anyone looking to improve their fitness and well-being.

S. H.

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

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 work and 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.

I’ve been training with James for just under two months now. Was already relatively fit but always wanted to lose excess fat and tone up. Having a 6 year old and 10 week old means it’s hard to find the time to get out and train but having heard positive reviews of James through word of mouth I was keen to book regular sessions with him. It really helps keep me in a routine with regular booked sessions and I’m pleased to say I am already feeling the results. He’s great at knowing when I’m struggling as well as when I could lift more weight. It’s amazing how much we fit into the one hour sessions and I look forward to many more. James is a top bloke and a great PT. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him, whether you have a disability or not.

C. S.

Normally i dont write reviews but i feel i must for James. He is an absolute inspiration and fantastic trainer. He has helped me achieve my goals with his focused and dedicated approach to personal training . Hes always happy and encouraging, and goes that extra mile to make sure his clients are training to the best of their ability. I would highly recommend him to everyone. Keep up the fantastic work James and thank you so much.

I have had the pleasure of being trained by James (Sutty), for 4 or 5 months now. Every routine is adapted towards my level of mobility and Sutty will often make the 'impossible', possible, through knowledge and technique or use of equipment. The physical workout is only part of each session, as his infectious smile and huge levels of energy never fail in leaving me feeling motivated and happy with myself. I cannot recommend him or his services enough!

Having never been in a gym in my life and having some health problems I thought for so long it simply wasn't for me and that my health problems would forever stop me from improving physically. However James convinced me to at least give it a go, telling me the gym was indeed for anyone and everyone and it was nothing to be nervous about. Have to say he was absolutely right and since I began I feel so much better both physically but more importantly in mentality and mindset. Something I didn't think possible at all. Obviously James knows exactly what type of training works best and how to start at the correct level. But more importantly his motivation is infectious, making you see that just the smallest improvements with consistency can lead to huge changes. James is an absolute inpsiration and I Can honestly say without his motivation and support I wouldn't have made that step through the door. I will be forever grateful for the help he's given. So if you're reading this stuck at home thinking you can't do it give this guy a call. He'll show you that you can.

Ive always wanted to get myself to be more healthy and fit but have been apprehensive of joining a gym let alone having a personal trainer, but after hearing fantastic reviews about James and seeing brilliant results I decided to contact him for training. The best decision I have ever made! Not only did James help me overcome my own anxiety of training from the first meeting he has helped keep my motivation going with his fantastic character and understanding of what I want to achieve. Absolutely recommend to all. Thank you James you are a star

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.

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’ve been training with Suttie for around six weeks now following a spinal injury from a snowboarding accident. I was big into my strength training before my accident and he has enabled me to get back into training again by adapting my workouts to suit my abilities, strengths and weaknesses. He is a very motivational individual and has an ability to push you through work outs and make it fun at the same time, how ever you are feeling he will always manage to put a smile on your face, I would highly recommend him to anyone who asks.

S. S.

James was absolutely made to personal train, his passion, enthusiasm and care is something I value greatly when trains me. I am definitely his toughest critic and the never make it an easy task for him to train me but I can honestly say he makes me feel encouraged, motivated and 100% comfortable and most importantly I have seen some amazing results. Highly recommend him to anybody who would like to get into shape, improve your fitness and just feel good about yourself. He is a superstar.

Hi I'm Alex, I'm 18 and I have lived with Cerebral Palsy for my entire life. This has left me with a real lack of balance and a very questionable sense of gravity and coordination, I tend to fall over a lot... I've been working with James for about a month now. And I'm already beginning to see results in my physique. I also feel so much better because of my work out sessions. I adore working with James, seekns him is always the highlight of my week! He makes working out so easy and rewarding. Would recommend him to anyone, such a quality bloke. And I can't thank him enough for helping me towards my fitness goals.

It was very important that I could find a personal trainer I could trust and I’m happy to say I have. James has helped me so much by understanding my issues and keeping me motivated, building my strength and confidence. I need to improve my leg strength but also my overall fitness and wellbeing and he’s helping me with all. He is unique because he works with all different types of abilities and treats everyone with same dignity and respect. I like his work ethic, his passion for his job, his professionalism combined with a friendly approachable attitude and genuine interest in his clients. I really enjoy training with him - even when I find it tough or having an off day he still pushes me to do my best! I’d definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to get fit, build strength or lose weight because he genuinely cares about you and your goals and wants you to succeed!

J.

To say I was nervous to enter the gym after 11 years was an understatement but James has made it seem so simple. Everything we do in a session is seen in such a positive light and done with fun and with an end goal. In just a few weeks, James has made such a change to not just my physical self and mental attitude but it has spread to my family too. Thanks James, you are the happiest person I know and what you do is so special.

I found James whilst looking for a new Personal Trainer after too many months off from the gym! We had an initial meeting to discuss my current fitness level/goals and started on a programme of two sessions per week back in June. Now 3 months later and I truly cannot recommend James highly enough! As I’d researched potential PTs online I’d been inspired by James’ journey, his focus & determination to push through his disability to achieve his goals. As soon as I met James & started training with him, it was clear this inspiration carried through to the training sessions themselves. James has an uncanny ability to keep you motivated throughout & bring out the best in you each session (as well as annoyingly never losing count of reps no matter how you may try & distract him! :-)) This motivation, coupled with the fact he’s such a positive, funny & upbeat person means you can’t help but leave each session with a bigger smile than when you arrived (no matter how hot & sweaty you might be feeling!). To anyone, with or without a disability, who is looking to improve their wellbeing & achieve their fitness goals, it’s simple: get in touch with James & see if he can work his magic for you. Looking forward to many more sessions big man!

We were introduced to James through the Matt Hampson Foundation for our 14yr old daughter who has recently been diagnosed with FND. James has been her PT for three months now and he has played a pivotal part in her recovery. He has guided her carefully through her sessions, working to get her physical strength back, using different equipment and techniques. He understands her limitations and ensures her training is safe and fun. She gets stronger every week, and has enjoyed every minute of her training. He knows when to push her more and when to hold her back. He has a true passion for fitness, and knows his stuff. However, arguably you could get that with most PTs - the thing that makes James different, is he gets it, he understands the challenges faced by those with disabilities, and he is a incredible mentor and friend for us all. You will struggle to find someone with a bigger heart and who genuinely cares for everyone he knows. He has supported her through her emotionally challenging days, making sure she walks away happy, and will always listen if needed. If everyone had an ounce of his thoughtfulness the world would be an amazing place. Thank you James 💪👏😎👏💪

G. S.

I started training with James a while back and can honestly say that I have never enjoyed training so much. James is infectiously positive and helps me feel really motivated to achieve my goals. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Thank you James 😊

D. C.

James is a first class Personal Trainer with a great energy that boost not only your personal workout but inspires you each time you train. His attention to detail and undivided control helps you feel at ease and fully supported at all times. I can highly recommend him as a PT, he really can make a difference- a true Super Human.

Although I've only known James for a few weeks, I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. His passion is obvious, he's supportive, takes time to understand and get to know you, he's patient and knows just how to push you. I can't wait to see what we can achieve over the coming weeks. From his influence I'm already seeing changes, especially in my mental health. Thank you, James. Keep being amazing!

R. G.

I’ve been training with James for a couple of months, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. I’ve seen an improvement in strength, flexibility, and overall fitness. He keeps it fun and varied, i look forward to my sessions which is rare for me with excersize I was worried how James would communicate knowing his issues with speech, but it hasn’t been a problem, he shows you how and gives you the push you need

D. N.

I’ve been reading through James’ other reviews and I can honestly state that he fully deserves all the plaudits and a great deal more. I could reiterate all that’s already been written, but instead I’m simply going to say: James is a: Top PT! Top mentor! Top motivator! And a genuinely all-round great guy! As I’m sure you can imagine, with the above being true ( and it is! ), James’ PT services are very much in demand. If you want the best out there and you can get a regular slot with him, then you’ll be doing yourself a huge favour.

l. b.

James is an inspiration. Every day he motivates me to be the best I can be and push it to the limit. He’s with you every rep of the way. With extensive knowledge, he keeps me in form and is constantly setting the bar higher. Through dedication, focus and determination you too can see incredible change. James is more than just my personal trainer, he is my friend.

H. H.

Started training with James at the start of the new year, and my only regret is that I didn't start sooner! He tailors workouts that really suit you/your goals/your limitations. He is super encouraging, knows his stuff and we have a laugh throughout even though my muscles feel like they're crying by the end of our sessions 😊Couldn't recommend enough.

c. s.

I am a lower leg amputee and needed a lot of help to build my strength back up after spending so long in a wheel chair after my amputation. I found James to be very easy to get a long with as he has a great sense of humour. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help and doesn't know where to start. He's a top man who's had to deal with a tough hand in life and yet has come through it and now helps others.

R. S.

After 10 years out of training and not willing to go for the pipe and slippers, I asked James to create me some workouts to fit with a busy work schedule. The attention to detail on the exact techniques required for hitting specific muscles and areas have been a revelation to me. All delivered in a friendly, Professional and encouraging manor. I can't recommend James highly enough, I just wish I'd had this level of instruction years ago.

S. S.

James is a great personal trainer, his passion for coaching is evident and shines through in every training session which is made fun and enjoyable! You're a massive inspiration James!

J. H.

I have been training with James for just over a month now. All I can say that he is amazing at what he does! He puts you instantly at ease and is always motivating you to achieve! Keep up the good work James!

Best PT experience, suffering from the mental side of things I was in urgent need of bettering myself both physically and mentally. James reasurred me when it was tough and made the gym fun and enjoyable. Proving to myself it is worth keeping on top of for my own petsonal benefits. Without a doubt I would recommend James to anyone. 10/10
