TESTIMONIALS
"James works with you to build an excellent personalised
nutrition plan and continues to support you throughout to achieve your nutrition goals.
You get a real sense that James cares about your goals.
Before beginning any plan James took the time to understand what I wanted to gain out of a plan and what nutritional background I was coming from. Taking
into account my work patterns and current eating habits and applying James’ knowledge and experience produced an initial plan that was tailor made for me.
This meant that there was no daunting changes to begin with and starting was an
absolute breeze, started off positively and continued to build small successes into large ones."
"Working with JL Nutrition has given me the confidence and self-belief to achieve things I would have not thought possible before. I have increased my fitness levels and enjoy doing
activities that I had stopped doing due to weight gain."
"I would say your knowledge of different exercises, the most optimal ways to train and mixing up my pretty boring program was what made me feel that I could benefit from training. Before our training, I thought people only got a personal trainer to motivate them, I did not lack this so I did not think it was worthwhile. However, the new training and eating routines has definitely improved the way I train and I can definitely feel like I am getting stronger each month."

James Long
Hi, my name is James Long..
And helping you improve your health and composition is my mission!
Let me tell you where my journey started; it was not long after leaving college in the UK, so I was around 18yrs old working with a man who was in his late 40s who was fitter, healthier and stronger than me. At 18 years old I should have been feeling like I was in my prime, instead I was 18stone and sluggish.
From that moment on I decided to take myself on a journey to try and get fitter and stronger. As you can imagine, I spent countless hours trawling the internet searching for a magic pill or a quick fix. I was 18 after all..
Heck it didn't come, no matter how many times it was promised, fad diets here, shake diets there, you name it I probably done it. It was the same with my training routine too, GVT training here because its good for muscle building, The 12 week programme written in muscle and fitness because its gonna get me rock hard abs and 18" guns...
This went on for a few years, until I started getting super serious with my training and wanted to progress further into bodybuilding, during these years I almost succumbed to the thoughts of, "being lean isn't for me", "I can't be lean", "its hard for me to diet", you know the thought patterns right?
But I did make it, I managed to get myself a coach, I was coachable, I asked questions and followed the plan religiously, I got so lean, I competed and I become the person I didn't think I would ever be...
But that came at a cost, a cost of my relationship with food. The restrictive nature that bodybuilding preps can induce really messed with how I saw food and how I acted around it, often eating in secret and then binging because "cheat day" right?
But that is where my love for nutrition grew stronger and this is where I decided to take that step into education and study nutrition. I thought there had to be a better way to get through periods like that.
That is where I studied with Mac Nutrition Uni, quiet easily hands down the best gold standard nutrition course out there, I spent an intense 12 months learning the fundamentals of nutrition and biology with a keen interest in health and sports nutrition.
From there, I then also took the plunge to go back into education when I immigrated to Australia and done a PT course, so I can combine 2 of my favourite things together and help create a better industry by helping people like you make the most out of their health.
Today, I stand before you, not as the fat kid but as a passionate, empathetic, confident health coach that is determined to help you achieve the results you are so desperately wanting to achieve.
Peak condition looks different in all sizes, if I can do it, you can too!

Training Splits
Whats the best training split?
That's the question I often get asked by people in the gym or online, it's often something that is way over thought about and made more complex than it really needs to be.
For the best training split is one that is conducive to your goals and one that you enjoy.
Some key examples to think about when it comes to determining your training split:
Experience in the gym
Recovery
Time
Experience in the gym
If you are a newbie to the gym, within your first 2 years of building a gym habit then really 2-3x per week is more than sufficient to get the most out of your training.
If you have a little more experience and would class yourself as intermediate (2-4yrs experience) then you might want to look at 3-5x per week.
And if you class yourself as advanced (5yrs+) then you might want to think about 4-6x per week.
The sessions per week tend to increase with experience and skillset because as you get further into your training career the level of output will typically increase and to prevent injuries and to get the most out of your recovery, you will then have to be spread out across multiple sessions per week.
Recovery
If you are someone who recovers fairly easily then you can look to increase your sessions per week and hit muscle groups multiple times per week.
On the flip side of that, if your someone whose recovery is a little slower and you are sore for a little longer then doing less days at the gym will be fine so that you can get the most out of your sessions.
Time
Not everyone is an 18 year old that lives at home with their parents and goes to school, most people have very little time and the thought of hitting the gym 6x per week just isn't feasible and often leads to inaction.
Work within the constraints that you have; if that means doing 2x 30 minute sessions per week then do it, as always something is better than nothing.
So next time you spend time worrying about whether what you are doing is enough, take these points into consideration.
