Does This Sound Like You?
Frustrated with Generic Gyms
You’re tired of overcrowded PureGym sessions and cookie-cutter workout plans that don’t fit your lifestyle or goals.
Struggling with Consistency
You start strong but lose motivation. You need someone who understands the mental game, not just the physical.
Confused by Conflicting Advice
Instagram fitness gurus and fad diets have left you more confused than ever. You want evidence-based guidance.
Lacking Accountability
Working out alone isn’t cutting it. You need expert guidance and someone invested in your success.
Over 40 and Feeling It
Your body feels different than it did in your 20s. You need training that works with your lifestyle and physiology.
Want More Than Just Weight Loss
You’re looking for complete transformation – stronger mindset, better energy, confidence that radiates from Cardiff Bay to Bute Park.
Meet James – Your Conscious Coach
I’m not your typical Cardiff personal trainer. After 32+ years in the fitness industry, I’ve learned that real transformation happens when you align your mind and body.
While other trainers focus purely on weight loss, I take a conscious approach. I blend evidence-based training with mindfulness, helping clients across Cardiff, Penarth, and Cardiff Bay build sustainable habits that last a lifetime.
My philosophy is simple: your body is not your enemy to punish, but your ally to strengthen. Whether you’re walking along Cardiff Bay waterfront or hiking through Bute Park, I want you to feel powerful, confident, and truly alive.

Frequently Asked Questions
With 32+ years of experience, I bring a unique conscious approach that transforms both body and mind. Unlike generic Cardiff gym trainers, I focus on sustainable habits, evidence-based training, and the mental aspects of transformation. My clients don’t just lose weight – they completely change their relationship with fitness and themselves.
Yes, I provide personal training services across Cardiff, Penarth, Cardiff Bay, and South Cardiff. I’m based at Renegade Gym on Penarth Road, but I can work with you at various locations depending on your needs and programme choice.
Most Cardiff personal trainers focus purely on physical results. I take a conscious approach, addressing both mindset and body. This means we work on sustainable habits, not quick fixes. You’ll develop a healthy relationship with exercise that lasts decades, not just until your next holiday.
My rates reflect the premium, life-changing service I provide. While Cardiff personal trainers range from £30-£70 per session, my programmes are investment in complete transformation. Contact me for specific pricing based on your goals and preferred programme.
I offer multiple options: premium 1-to-1 personal training for maximum results, men’s group training for those over 40, women’s group training for 40+, and online coaching. Each programme is designed for specific needs and goals.
Absolutely. Many of my Cardiff clients are over 40 and discovering fitness for the first time, or returning after years away. I specialise in hormone-aware training and age-appropriate programming. Your best years are ahead of you, not behind you.
