James Sutliff Fitness

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 disabil...

I now have the confidence and motivation to go the a gym on my own ...

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 lev...
