Transformational!

Completed a full 12 week Hyrox programme (with a partner who was a very strong runner) and went from dreading the run to making huge progress and ended up really enjoying it. Very well thought out programme that balanced areas to improve with my stronger points to get me to a well-rounded position for the race. Ended up beating our target time by 2 minutes, which definitely wouldn’t have been possible without HAC’s help!

Effective, tailored programming that fits in with life and the progress it gives you is amazing. My engine improved so much, but for me, the advice around fuelling and recovery was something I now use every time I train and has kept me injury free. Race day was soooo much more enjoyable after working with James. Would recommend to anyone.

I can’t put into words just how much…

I can’t put into words just how much James has helped me with my fitness. I feel unbelievably fitter than 12 months ago. I couldn’t squat or barbell with any technique. My running was boring and stagnant. My fitness was inefficient. James set me programmes that enabled me to complete an individual HYROX, doubles HYROX and other competitions. I had no motivation or goals and he helped me accomplish things I never thought possible. On race days, he gave the best advice. I would never have done the things I have this year without his help. It’s shown me that anyone can do anything with the right help. Thank you james.

Hybrid Athlete Club has loads of valuable programmes and a really personal approach

James is my go to for any fitness related goal and has been for many years! It is therefore no surprise that Hybrid Athlete Club has loads of valuable programmes and a really personal approach. James’ advice and help around achieving my running goals has given me more confidence around how I will achieve them and where I should be focusing. I’d highly recommend James and Hybrid Athlete Club 🙂 It is a no brainer!

I started with James with a crossfit programme, James designed a personal programme for me that brung up my weaknesses, at the same time maintaining levels at all the other aspects of crossfit. This helped me become the fittest ive been.After the crossfit programme i was lucky to get a spot on the london marathon. James wrote me a specific progressive plan that led me all the way up to race day. The programme was designed for me taking into account fitness levels, life, injuries etc.10/10 coach, very knowledgeable, approachable and understanding.

Great coaches and easy to talk to

I’ve been following the Hybrid Program and am loving the variety in the sessions. The combination of weightlifting and running keeps things exciting and the variety keeps me motivated! Although a little injured, the coaches have been amazing and so easy to speak to, they’ve adapted and substituted various bits along the way so I haven’t missed any sessions. Awesome program and team to be a part of 🥰

It’s the little things

James is amazing at being able to change your mindset towards exercise and for me, competing and being better in the CrossFit – he sent me loads of useful books and podcasts to listen to which have been a game changer, also a testament to how much James wants to learn and be better for not just himself but his clients too! He’s also great at giving words of encouragement when you come away from something feeling a bit disheartened! His little queues and tricks to help with technique is unparalleled, top coach.

James’ attention to detail is the next level. He really listened to me when I explained what I wanted to get out of my fitness journey. My strength and conditioning have come leaps and bounds since joining the team back in 2021 & I look forward to seeing what 2024 brings.

Hybrid athlete program as you expect but a whole lot more

Ive been getting programs and coaching off HAC and James for just under a year and they are perfect for me, any programs I get and I’m either not sure about or just want something different, he gets to work and really personalise it to make it more tailored and enjoyable.The programming speaks for it self as I had a massive improvement in my running at the back end of last year getting pb’s and even a few Spartan race wins. I am currently on the hybrid athlete program but have also added some of the running program on as an extra.I can’t wait to see what I can do next year on the program! Can’t speak highly enough, I even get kind feed back on there social media from people iv never met, some what like a community feeling.

An Ironman in 16 weeks

I remember coming to hybrid athlete club setting an un realistic goal of competing in an Ironman with 16 weeks of training. little did I know that it was unrealistic at all but actually about setting the challenge that it’s not about time it’s about just completing. James set me up a great endurance plan and also helped me lots with my nutrition and recovery so I could keep high volume across the weeks. He also built in phases of recovery and then calculated when I would be in peak week for my race day. Hybrid athlete club have been absolutely phenomenal in helping me complete one of my all time dreams in become an Ironman. Thank you

Improving my fitness

After witnessing James’s fitness and weightlifting abilities over the years I decided he was the best person to approach to help me improve my all round CrossFit performance. After a few weeks of 1-2-1 I was already seeing results. Having tailor made programming guaranteed that it was always challenging and enjoyable.

5k to Half Marathon experience

James was an excellent coach giving me specific advise from where I was at currently going from never having run more than 5k outdoors to my first half marathon completed in March 2023 smashing my original goal of 2hr 45 and getting 2hr 2 min on race day. From specific programming/ advise/ warm ups and cooldowns and tailoring the programme when I had a slight ankle injury to just doing rowing to keep my cardio up before race day.

I came to James for his 8 week Hyrox program and ended up getting a customised program with regular support. There is clear intention and progression in the training programming from week to week. The workouts are varied taking into account the many facets of a Hyrox race.
James is friendly, responsive, knowledgeable and experienced. He walks the talk and is trustworthy. Highly recommended! Thanks

I’ve been working with James on and off now for the past 2 years! His results and dedication have been phenomenal, I can’t fault a single block I’ve done with him and have always enjoyed training under his guidance & programming.

His always seeking new and innovative ways of helping clients to improve and refine skills, I’ve made more progress on his programs the last 2 years than I ever have in my 8 years of training.

I couldn’t recommend a more dedicated and experienced coach/program!

Fantastic programming that is fun and always with a goal in mind. I didn’t realise the value in having a programme can have on motivation until using the Hybrid Athlete Clubs monthly programming. The personal touch with the multiple updates per week on programming and training are something that I’m not sure many else do, a community is building and highly recommend you give a try!

I did PTs with James in order to learn correct techniques to enhance my CrossFit training schedule. James took the time to fully explain each movement, show me the correct exercises and also would film me and run through each move so that I had a thorough understanding. Our training was critical for me and massively boosted my confidence and in return my fitness levels and strength training

One off the most detailed Coaches I have had coach me

I recently had the pleasure of working with James Deag as my personal trainer and CrossFit coach, and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From the outset, James displayed an impressive eye for detail that set the tone for the sessions.What sets James apart is his remarkable relatability. He possesses the rare ability to connect with the class on a personal level, making the training sessions enjoyable and motivating. His friendly and approachable demeanor created a comfortable environment, encouraging open communication about goals, concerns, and progress. As a CrossFit coach, James’s expertise truly shines. His thorough understanding of the CrossFit methodology, combined with his knack for adapting workouts to individual capabilities, ensures that each session is challenging yet manageable. He instills a sense of confidence in his classes, pushing them to surpass their perceived limits while maintaining a supportive and encouraging atmosphere.In conclusion, James Deag’s personal training and CrossFit coaching have been nothing short of exceptional. His attention to detail and relatable coaching style create a winning combination that delivers results. Whether you’re a seasoned fitness enthusiast or a beginner, James’s guidance will undoubtedly elevate your fitness journey to new heights. I wholeheartedly recommend James Deag to anyone seeking a dedicated and personable trainer.One thing I would change….. his unique taste in music!Keep up the hard work!
