Here is what some of James’ clients are saying!

“I decided to invest in a personal trainer to help me lose the weight I gained in college. I chose James because he has the complete package as a personal trainer. I didn’t want someone that was just going to help me lose the fat temporarily. James taught me how to improve my current body and how to maintain it for life. He was realistic about my goals and so motivating with regards to healthy living. It truly was an investment because I understand what I was doing wrong and now I know what is correct. Now I am very fit, the happiest I have been with my image, which to me is priceless!”
Krystal Hutcheson, CPT

“In the first four months I worked with James, I made significant progress. My body fat declined by over 4%, while my lean body mass and overall weight increased from 165 to 170 pounds. Aside from improving my lifts and cardiovascular endurance, my clothes fit better. People on an unsolicited basis commented about the change in my appearance. James is personable, dependable, and motivating.”

“I’ve worked out with numerous well-qualified personal trainers during my 15 years of living in Los Angeles. I can now say with complete confidence and honesty that James Kohler is by far one of the best. He represents a unique 2-for-1 value in personal training, combining his own experiences as an award-winning bodybuilder with his equally impressive academic credentials in the fields of Kinesiology and exercise physiology. His calm, well-mannered demeanor and genuine Midwestern work ethic are perfect complements to his expertise in fitness training, giving him the ability to work effectively with all clients at any level of physical ability. For the first time in years, co-workers and family members have actually started to comment upon my slimmer appearance. Above all, James Kohler really knows how to produce results!”

“After working with several trainers prior to James, I was discouraged with the lack of results. When a friend referred me to James Kohler I decided to give it one more try. I was surprised to find after working with him for only a couple weeks that I was already seeing progress and that I was actually enjoying working out again. James has been my fitness coach for over a year now and the results are amazing.”

“I initially met James Kohler while enrolled in a weight training class that he was teaching at Cal State University Northridge, and decided to hire him to be my personal trainer. The first thing you notice about James, other than his physique which no doubt took many painstaking hours in the gym and adherence to proper nutrition, is his desire to help others reach their goals. James has a gift in being able to motivate others and create a comfortable training environment. While training with James my knowledge of bodybuilding increased and I was motivated to become a certified personal trainer, which is a testament to James’s coaching ability. I firmly believe that with James’s personality, his teaching aptitude, and his knowledge of training and nutrition principles, he can help any committed person reach their body transformation goals.”

"After searching for a fitness coach to help me with gaining muscle, I was very fortunate to come across James. I told James that my biggest challenge in gaining muscle was the nutrition aspect. Instead of just being told what to eat, I wanted to learn the right way to implement healthy eating habits into my lifestyle. I told James ‘don't give me a fish, teach me how to fish’, and that is exactly what he did. James was flexible enough to do the consultations via phone, and after two months I had learned a ton more about nutrition and refined my workout routines. James' wide knowledge and patient approach really helped educate and prepare me for practicing more effective bodybuilding and fitness principles. I felt great working with him and recommend him highly."
-Deekron, “The Fitness DJ”

“I was preparing for a summer ‘09 bodybuilding competition and was specifically looking for assistance with posing and development of a routine. I learned about James' personal training services and feel fortunate I came in contact with him. James and I worked out a training schedule and got down to it. He fine-tuned my mandatory poses and he developed a solid routine with smooth transitions for me to use on stage. Needless to say James was a Key figure in helping me attain my goal in time for my competition. Everything worked out great and I went into the show completely prepared. As an added bonus, James provided me with a modified diet to follow leading up to my event. I came in looking more full and with added energy, and that was huge. For anyone who may come in contact with James, he is the best. He is professional, knowledgeable, personable, and always has a positive attitude. I look forward to working with James again in the future.”

"James is a personable, dedicated, and inspirational trainer who motivated me to work hard to reach my goals. For many people, a personal trainer is considered an unnecessary luxury and is one of the first things to go when money gets tight. However, a tough workout with a personal trainer helps improve my mental and physical health leading to greater confidence and success."
-Howard Fields, JD

"Working with James has been a great experience. As a woman, I was a bit skeptical about working with someone from a professional bodybuilding background.

Within the first few weeks of training with James, I noticed toning in all areas and greater sense of strength and self-confidence.”

This confidence was founded on several years of weight training and nutrition. After meeting James and training with him, my workouts were taken to a whole new level. He was not only very encouraging and friendly, but also extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of physical activity. I now know what it's like to work out to the best of my ability, and that having someone there makes it a lot easier to accomplish your goals.

“ I have known James Kohler for over three years. My former trainer was moving to Las Vegas. Along with James, I interviewed other fitness trainers, about 5, all very fit and professionals. I ended up hiring James Kohler. Over the passed years James has helped me develop a fantastic, healthy lifestyle, both physically and mentally. I enjoy and look forward to our workout sessions, 2 times a week. James has also helped me with my nutrition and cardiovascular regiment. James is always very professional, on time, and gives his undivided attention during our workout sessions, about an hour each session. I will continue to work with James, he is aware of my strengths and weak areas and monitors my progress. Thanks to James’ help, I feel good and look like I've always wanted to. I am a 48- year old male and self-employed. ”
