James Carter

I started my fitness journey at 19 — overweight, low on confidence, and without a clue where to begin. After years of trial, error, and thousands of hours of study, I turned my personal transformation into a career built on one mission: helping others change their lives through the power of smart, consistent training.

Since opening Peak Form in Leeds in 2016, I've worked with everyone from complete beginners to competitive athletes. My approach combines science-backed programming with genuine accountability — because results require both.

"I'd tried every gym and every diet plan over a decade. Nothing stuck. James took one look at my lifestyle and built a programme I could actually live with. Six months later, I'm in the best shape of my life and I genuinely enjoy training now — something I never thought I'd say."

"After my back injury I thought serious training was behind me. James spent two sessions just assessing how I move before we even touched a weight. That level of care is rare. I've since hit a 120kg squat and I'm pain-free. Couldn't recommend him more highly."

"Online coaching with James has been game-changing. I travel for work constantly and thought that meant I couldn't commit — he proved me totally wrong. Clear plans, responsive support, and I never feel like I'm just another client in a list. Dropped two dress sizes in four months."

Common Questions

Getting started is simple. Fill in the consultation form below and James will get back to you within 24 hours to arrange a free 30-minute call. During that call, you'll discuss your goals, current fitness level, and lifestyle, and James will recommend the most appropriate programme. If you decide to proceed, you'll receive your bespoke plan within 48 hours. There's no obligation and no hard sell — just an honest conversation.
Your first month is about building solid foundations and learning your body. Expect an initial assessment covering movement patterns, baseline fitness, and goal-setting. Sessions in weeks one and two are deliberately moderate — James needs to understand how you recover and respond before pushing intensity. By weeks three and four, you'll be training hard, and most clients report noticeable changes in energy levels and body composition within the first three to four weeks.
Not at all. James works with complete beginners through to experienced athletes. All programmes are built around your current fitness level — wherever that is. For in-person training, sessions are held at a fully equipped gym in Leeds city centre; you won't need a separate gym membership. For online coaching, programmes can be designed around home equipment, hotel gyms, or commercial gyms — James will ask what you have access to before building your plan.
Honestly — it depends on your consistency, starting point, and goals. Most clients feel significantly better (energy, sleep, confidence) within two to three weeks. Visible physical changes typically appear between weeks four and eight with consistent training and nutrition. Significant body composition changes — like those you see in the testimonials above — happen over three to six months of committed effort. James will set realistic, measurable targets from day one so you always know exactly where you stand.
