JAMES WALL

COACH

I am very passionate about coaching and personal development and have spent the last 9 years working on myself and developing my craft as a coach. 

Since arriving in Vancouver, I have focused on my professional growth by working in some of the top CrossFit gyms in Vancouver, obtained my NCCP weightlifting and NASM Performance Enhancement Specialization Certificate and am also the head coach of an BCWA weightlifting club. 

I’ve worked with hundreds of athletes, specializing in coaching beginner to intermediate athletes, in group classes as well as in personal training. Helping them to develop a stronger understanding of movement, fitness and training. Also coaching many athletes to new strength PRs and to peak for their next competition. 

It has been a passion of mine to help people move better, feel better and maximize their abilities. 

Outside of coaching, I enjoy my own training, spending time with my partner and Golden Retriever Frank, exploring Vancouver and BC with its many eateries, cafes, and craft breweries.
