Louise Griffin
James has been coaching me in Olympic lifting for a year now and my improvement both in technique and strength has been more than I thought possible! His experience allows him to quickly identify areas to focus on and he’s always open to collaborate on your personal preferences too. He’s helped me fall in love with lifting again - genuinely couldn’t recommend him more!
Margherita Ragazzi
I started Olympic weightlifting with James over a year ago, and his expertise and attention to detail have been exceptional from the start. The support and guidance he’s provided have boosted both my confidence and my skills, helping me achieve progress I didn’t think was possible at this stage of my journey. I’m proud to be part of the LiftLikeLuong team.
Georgina Williams
James is an exceptional PT and strength coach. He combines an in-depth knowledge of weightlifting and general strength training with an eye for movement mechanics and an unusual ability to problem-solve.
Working with him played a key part in my ability to perform in 2024 and win my category at both European and World Masters Weightlifting Championships.
I would recommend him to anyone from absolute beginners in their strength journey to athletes with more nuanced challenges.
