ABOUT ME
JAMES HILTON FITNESS PHILOSOPHY
Fitness after 50 is about so much more than just staying in shape; it’s about being able to enjoy movement, living with purpose and feeling awesome.
Balance helps you stay steady and avoid falls. My training focuses on coordination and stability, giving older adults the confidence to move safely and maintain independence.
Good mobility means moving freely and comfortably. By improving flexibility and reducing stiffness, my approach helps older adults with daily movements like bending and reaching, keeping you mobile and pain-free.
Strength is the foundation of staying independent and capable. My focus is on building practical strength to help you tackle everyday tasks like lifting, carrying, and moving with confidence and ease
Fitness improves energy, heart health, and mental well-being, helping you stay active and feeling your best. I aim to make fitness enjoyable and sustainable, ensuring you can embrace a lifestyle that keeps you moving for longer.

“I have had the benefit of personal training with James Hilton for quite a while. James’s approach is careful and constructive, in particular if you are not in the first flush of youth (and I’m not) he will concentrate on flexibility as well as fitness and muscle tone. He is thoroughly professional, demanding without being draconian, and tempers his whole approach with informality and a happy sense of fun and humour.

"Training with James has been transformative. His blend of challenge, encouragement, empathy, and humour creates a safe space where exercise becomes genuinely enjoyable. He helps you feel capable, shifting your focus from limitations to possibilities. James tailors each session to your strengths and goals while addressing areas for improvement, making every workout engaging and rewarding. His enthusiasm and thoughtful guidance leave you feeling energised and confident—not just in fitness, but in life. I can’t recommend him highly enough!"

A year ago, I couldn’t manage a press-up, which was a challenge as I’d signed up for a charity horse race at Ascot! To compete, I needed to pass six gruelling fitness tests at the Jockey School in Newmarket with a 60% average. Thanks to James Hilton’s research and dedication, I passed top of the class with 80%, despite being 10 years older than the rest. James’s tailored training sessions improved my core strength, balance, and stamina while preparing me for the specific tests. I highly recommend James to anyone with a fitness goal or wanting to improve their physical health.
