I'd say, a pretty darned good case for heavy powercleans...


As Good Friday is upon us, many of the local gyms are closed. Lucky for us, we're looking at double digit temperatures this weekend ( Hey, a man can be optimistic!) :) So getting out for some activity, may be in the cards.

Training Philosophy:

The training philosophy at SRX is one that is truly unique but is a hybrid of others previous hard work. Blending in all aspects of exceptional fitness, extreme conditioning and well, nice looking muscles was a bit of a hard nut to crack.

What we have taken is the best of all worlds, and mashed it into one fun hour and 15 minute workout. Hopefully providing you all the tools you need to be strong, functional and for lack of a better term, beautiful.

Based on recovery, the typical session looks like the following:

Phase One - Cardiovascular Conditioning
Interval Training - 20-25 minutes
These intervals can be from as short as 8 seconds, to 2:00 minutes.

This can be done on the air dyne, treadmill, with a kettlebell, tire flipping, skip rope, bike etc. I prefer running myself.


Phase Two - Metabolic Disturbance Style of Training ( Crossfit/gym-jones etc) -20-25 mins

This is where the fun and creativity come in. A varying degree of jumps, climbs, rows, lifts, Olympic lifts and calisthenics all done in a circuit style..

The key here is extreme muscular fatigue, fun and a ridiculously high heart rate.

This phase is timed and you will be expected to break records often!

I consider this the meat and potatoes of the program, it's what will give you the unique blend of strength, endurance and conditioning that will keep you head and shoulders above the competition.

Phase Three Body-Part Training: 20-25 mins:

No program I recommend would skimp out on the "beach muscles"! I mean, anyone who says they don't want to "look good" is simply bullshitting you. In the last 20-25 minutes you would usually attack one/two body part(s), with rep ranges that start with singles and triples, and work all your way up to volume/pump style of exercises.

The programming of this body part usually coincides with the MDT in Phase two.


The philosophy is that women and men train exactly the same and records need to be broken often!

Groups of 3-5 people of similar levels of fitness will be placed together, and the program will run in succession.

The first 8 case studies of this program will likely be starting in June ( we still have one or two spots open) But I'm cutting it off at 10.

Diet will be a huge factor, as, well, it is the determining factor of fat loss/weight loss.

We will provide measurements, weight gained and lost, performance improvements and before and after pictures. And as stated, I will be adding more about diet in these notes next week.

The group that I have selected already, has a strong fitness base, so improvments will be even more impressive, given their experience.

Lina Z (30+ pounds lighter)

From Lina Z

How many times have I tried to lose weight?

Well lets just say I lost count!

Only when I had Jamie on my side was I successful. He knew exactly when to switch up my diet and my weight training. He was very motivating and always kept me on track.

I can honestly say I was never hungry on my diet and the exercise program was something I never experienced before. I actually enjoyed working out!!

I went from a size 12 to a 3 and most importantly, I have kept the 30+lb off for over 3 years now.

Jamie helped me achieve my goal and also gave me the knowledge to keep it off.


Thanks Lina!



Alex Short:



Before working with James, my workouts were unfocused and inefficient. While I was spending time in the gym, I became demotivated as I did not see weight-loss I expected.

After working with James, with a training program including both gym time and diet, I finally because to see real results. James advice and coaching are things I continue using to this day.

I highly recommend him as a trainer if you are looking for someone to get you in the best shape of your life, keep you highly motivated and deliver results!
