James Hidalgo

He’s a superstar motivator.
He’s super cute too. ;D
I miss his kickboxing combos! Always interesting, never boring, and easy to learn!

I met James when I was on a two month «sabbatical». During that time I was running and playing tennis 5 – 6 days a week but those workouts were becoming a bit stagnant.
As much as I hated going to the gym, I knew I needed to incorporate weight training into my regimen so I decided to tryout a Chisel class at Crunch. I can pretty much say that I had my ass handed to me during that class. It was a humbling experience… and my first experience with James Hidalgo.
Fast forward three months, after consistently taking James’ class every week, I decided to up the ante and try out his personal training. I saw/​felt results right away. Okay I am still not «skinny» by any means, but I feel stronger than ever. With a little fine tuning, I know I can get into the shape that I have long desired.
What I appreciate about James is his ability to push me beyond my limits. I don’t have issues getting to the gym… but before I started training with James I did workouts that were completely within my comfort zone – routines that were easy for me.
While some days I curse James for pushing me so hard I am near tears or vomiting… I am always grateful the rest of the day for having had such a kick ass work out.
Whether you are looking to lose weight or simply get stronger and leaner, I would absolutely recommend James as your personal trainer.

I’ve been working out with James for about 3 years now. He’s a GREAT instructor and even better personal trainer. I call him the ‘nazi trainer.’ He challenges you/​your body in every way imaginable. Workouts are as tough as they come and your body will be forever changed. My body is truly not the same if I am not working out with James. When people compliment me, I say, ‘It’s the Body by James’ workout. Seriously, if you are looking for a personal trainer who knows what he is doing, call on James. He will get the job done!

James is a kick ass cardio kickboxing instructor at my club — Golden Gate Tennis and Swim Club. I know he also teaches at other facilities.
He’s also a super driven, hard ass personal trainer who will rock your body into beach shape!
