My sessions with James have always been challenging and fun and I'm always interested in the next fitness trick he has got up his sleeve. His creative exercises are so much better than standing in place and curling a bar 10, 20 or 100 times. I really appreciate his attention to detail, correct form and technique, and to helping me attain my individual goals. I have developed more muscle that I knew existed. And the transformation journey still goes on!!
Hard work and trembling muscles at the end of each session — YES!
Being pushed beyond what I think I am capable of — YES!
Getting the most compliments on my body than I had in my life — YES!
Feeling great about my body — YES!
Thanks James for being a great trainer, confidant and friend!
About James
Hello,
I'm James Fitness and that's me on the right.
I always felt intimidated working out in normal gyms...
My boot camp is private, so you can focus on your workout in the right environment.
I will motivate you with positive feedback and humor.
At my boot camp, you will experience the support of a group reminding you that you are not in this alone. You will push each other to do your best for the day.
Instead of boring cardio, and daunting weights, we use unique exercises and fat burning intervals to sculpt you in to a lean and tone machine.
My favorite part of exercising is sweating from head to toe, and knowing that today’s workout meant something.
You will leave the gym feeling confident that you are making huge progress toward your goal each and every time.
Get ready for some great music, good fun, and the most intense workout of your life!

About The Workout
This butt-kicking boot camp style workout is a combination of high-intensity fat shredding cardio intervals with body shaping exercises for developing a slim, lean, and toned body.
Each workout is designed to burn over 1,000 calories in just one hour.
In addition to being great for shaping up, we also emphasize flexibility, building strong joints, and the overall principles of healthy lifestyle.
The workouts are challenging so get ready to sweat. Each workout includes 30 minutes of high intensity fat shredding cardio, and 30 minutes of fast paced strength training. Each day focuses on a unique routine for a different part of the body.
This style of workout is the result of 10 years of research and development. It is the only workout around with this kind of proven results.
Instead of heavy weight training with high risk of joint injury and boredom, we use bands, free weights, and your own body weight. The results are quickly noticeable which makes our boot camp the most popular in the Minneapolis area.
Each workout is 60 minutes long. This special format has been proven year after year to be the best way to burn fat with...
- 1/2 Fat shredding cardio
- 1/2 Body sculpting exercises
- Followed by a cool down with stretching
The gym has men's and women's locker rooms with showers.
There is plenty of parking and street parking is free before 8:00 AM and after 6:00 PM.
P.S. Anyone can do these boot camp workouts, even though they burn an intense amount of calories. Everyone is motivated and encouraged by the group, and most start out as complete beginners.

Success Stories
Working out with James has been the best thing I’ve done for my health! With my wedding a few months away, I realized my workout routine wasn’t cutting it! I decided to find a personal trainer to whip me into shape! James has done just that! His workout program really kicks your butt!! I have never worked out this hard in my life.. And I’m loving every minute of it! He balances the right amount of weight training, cardio and diet… and really pushes you.. No slacking! His enthusiasm and funny personality really makes the 6 am workouts tolerable! The combination of working out and restructuring my diet.. including the “7 day fat loss detox diet” has made me lose inches and pounds! I quickly noticed results! I slimmed down.. And I’m noticing my body is actually toning up! I feel great about my body… and it shows!!
"I have noticed the results of working out with James after just TWO weeks! At one month, I feel stronger and so much more fit than before! It is summer time now and I love showing off all my hard work!!! He is super friendly! James makes an hour of working out really hard go by FAST! He's always making me laugh and enjoy my workouts. I never get bored with working out with him because we are always changing things up and work different areas! 
One of my favorite and most challenging things about training with James is my food log! He has this great system to achieve the goals that each individual wants to reach by keeping track of what you eat! And WOW, what an eye opener that was!!! It’s like having a trainer and nutritionist all in one! There is no substitute for training with James... he really pushes and motivates you! He is already voted one of the #1 trainers in the US. Get in with him now!!! PRICELESS =)"
I like the cardio intervals because as a model I can’t afford to bulk up. James has unique exercises you won’t find anywhere else that are geared just for women’s body types. I like to try every workout like pure barre, yoga, spin, pilates, etc. but I feel like I get the results of all of these combined with just James workouts. 
Before James Fitness, I suffered from PMDD. Immediately I noticed a drastic change in my mood. Now I hardly notice my PMS, and I don’t want to shoot myself in the head every month. The workouts go by super quick because he’s young, cute and funny. A lot of other trainers are creepy, but James is super fly. I’m addicted.
For the vast majority of my life I have been in excellent shape. However, in 1996, after a 6 period of service in the US Marine Corps, I fell off the “health wagon.” As I started my 1st business I fell into a pattern of eating fast food and no exercise and by 1998 I had ballooned from 165 pounds to over 210 pounds. At the beginning of 2006 I had had enough of being fat and attempted to start shedding the pounds with very limited success. Still over 200 pounds I turned to James Fitness to help guide me back to physical health. With a regimen of exercise and better diet guided by James’ expertise I was able to drop from my weight (over 200 pounds) to 155 pounds with muscle definition like I have never had in my life. At 39 I am now active and participating in competitive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and stronger than I have ever been in my life. Thanks James!
My name is John Ashrafian. I joined James Fitness because my wife and I recently found out that we are pregnant with our first child. My goal is to be healthy and in the best shape of my life, by the time the baby arrives. I want to be energetic to help raise our child as opposed to being lethargic. I recently completed the 8-week challenge at James Fitness. With intense workouts, and following James’ nutritional tips, I lost an amazing 20 pounds and 4 pant sizes in 8 weeks! Overall I have increased energy, strength and flexibility.
James Fitness provides flexible hours, motivating workouts, state of the art equipment, and a very friendly and accommodating staff. The trainers are very knowledgeable, they love what they do, and are extremely motivating. I love the positive reinforcement and intensity that they provide. Plus, their workouts are targeted specifically for me to attain my goals. Overall, James Fitness has provided me with the tools to be able to accomplish all of my goals and be happier and healthier when our new edition to the family arrives. Thanks James Fitness!!
When I first started the 10-week body challenge I was both excited and nervous. It was the start of a serious life change for me. Eating right, exercise and personal commitment I think are some of the hardest things in life. This program helped shape and mold my life. Jennifer, PJ and yourself besides being awesome at what you do are real people who generally cared about each of the people in the program. The commitment you showed to all of us, kept us going and striving to achieve greater results.
My goal when I started the program was to be able to take my shirt off at the beach and be proud of what was underneath. I achieved that! I take my shirt off now with great pride knowing my hard work has paid off! I am motivated and looking forward to the next challenge.
Once again, thank you!
Frequently Asked Questions
Will The Workouts Be Too Advanced or Intense?
I get new clients who are beginners every week. You will be fine and I usually ask first timers to go at their own pace and rest when needed. Everyone struggles to keep up with the pace the first 1-2 days, but you will not be asked to do more than you are capable of. Fitness is a lifestyle built on consistency, not a one day transformation.
Is The Price Going To Stay At $9?
Yes. This is my normal ongoing rate. I do my best to provide the best workouts in Minneapolis at the lowest possible price.
I've Been To Crowded Bootcamps Before That Lacked Focus So How Many People Are In Each Class?
Each workout caps at 10 even though the space can comfortably handle 20.
I set myself apart from other boot camps or group workouts by training less clients per class with more focus, attention to detail, and an individualized follow up including nutritional coaching, result tracking, and plenty of time before and after each workout to answer questions and chat.
Where Do I Park?
There is a parking structure on 6th street right across from the gym. There is also street metered parking on 4th avenue right out front. The meters require payment from 8am - 6pm but be sure to check. I know venturing downtown can be questionable if you are used to the suburbs. Some of my clients are from Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, Bloomington, and other suburbs and they say the workout is worth the drive and that parking is great!
Is There A Changing Room?
Yes. There gym does have a changing room, bathrooms, and showers. Inside of the workout space we have storage lockers so you can bring a purse or something. If it is snowing or raining outside, please bring your clean gym shoes and wear another pair of shoes to the gym.

P.S. Anyone can do these boot camp workouts, even though they burn an intense amount of calories. Everyone is motivated and encouraged by the group, and most start out as complete beginners.
P.P.S. It is the spirit of commitment to my community that compels me to offer these workouts at just $9 per session. At this rate, I get a lot of referrals when people talk about the results, so make sure to book your free trial before all of the spots fill up again!
