Now taking clients
Real clients. Real results.
No filters, no stock photos, these are progress check-ins from people who train with me. Different starting points, same standard of coaching.
How it works
Three steps. Zero guesswork. The hard part should be the training, not figuring out where to start.
We talk goals, not sales
A 30-minute chat about where you are, where you want to be, and what's got in the way before. If we're not the right fit, I'll tell you straight.
A programme built for your week
Training, nutrition targets and recovery designed around your schedule, your gym, and any injuries or history we need to work with.
Every session tracked
We log every lift, take check-in photos, and adjust as life happens. You always know exactly what to do and why you're doing it.

What clients say
"Twelve weeks with James and I'm lifting numbers I didn't think were possible for me. The check in photos don't lie neither does he.
"What kept me going was the accountability. Every session logged, every week reviewed. You can't hide from your own progress.
"Trained around an old shoulder injury without a single setback. Knows his stuff, pushes you hard, keeps it fun.
Meet James Malibu
I'm James. I work with people who are tired of starting over.
You're busy. You've got early meetings, late finishes, a packed diary and by the time the week's done, the gym has slipped again. You've tried the plans, bought the programmes, maybe even stuck to one for a few weeks. But life gets in the way and the results never quite come.
That's where I come in.
I build training and nutrition plans around your actual life, not some ideal version of it. No two hour gym sessions, no meals you'd never realistically eat. Just a structure that fits your schedule, keeps you consistent, and gets you results you can see and feel.
Whether you train with me in person across London or online from wherever you are, the approach is the same. Smart programming, real accountability, and a plan you can stick to even on your worst week.
You don't need more willpower. You need a better system. Let's build it.

Common questions
I've never lifted weights before. Is this for me?
Yes, plenty of my clients start as complete beginners. The first weeks are spent learning the movements properly at light weights. You'll never be thrown into something you're not ready for.
How many sessions a week do I need?
Two to three coached sessions a week is the sweet spot for most people. If your budget covers one, we'll pair it with a simple plan you can run on your own.
Can I train online instead of in person?
Absolutely. Online clients get a custom programme in their app, weekly video form checks and a monthly review call, same coaching, your gym.
What happens after the free consult?
If it's a good fit, we book your first session and I build your programme. If it's not, you'll still leave with honest advice on your next step. No pressure either way.
