Okay, enough with the professional stuff… So, who is Jim really? Well, Jim IS all of the above; he eats, sleeps and breathes fitness. His calling in life has helped him change the lives of thousands!  But he does have a personal life. And he does struggle with the same food issues as anyone else.  Jim isn’t perfect; who is? That said, we all strive for it, or try to get as close as we can. Jim is no different, although his main personal motto in life is “Perfection though Imperfection.” He wants to show people how they can build the body of their dreams and still have a good time enjoying life.  Jim eats pizza, and indulges in ice cream, lattes and alcohol. But he has learned the art form of moderation and works hard to even things out with ample amounts of exercise. His regime includes exercising six days a week, doing a combination of running, weight training, and yoga. He has run in several marathons and competed in many body-building shows. Outside the gym, he enjoys going out, dining, movies, traveling, adventure and taking on everything life has to offer. Follow Jim as he spills the beans on the latest diet trends to promote fat loss, the hottest exercises to get you toned, and motivation that will inspire you to get into the best shape of your life!
