Meet Your Master Trainer, James Dong!
James is a Master Trainer at the J, having been here (with a brief hiatus) for over a decade. His many certifications include integrative movement and biomechanics and various mentorship programs, making him the perfect trainer to take on this very special new offering. He works hard to effectively understand and meet each client’s individual needs. He believes in functional and long-term approaches to training by focusing on posture and movement patterns to optimize body mechanics.
James led a Youth Training program here at the J years ago, which fellow trainer Alex Rodriguez was a participant in. Alex was so inspired by everything he learned, he pursued a career in fitness. Now, as a NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Alex is working towards his Associates Degree in General Science. Alex is proud to assist James in our updated Youth Training Certification program and hopefully pass on the love for physical fitness that James gave to him years ago!
