James Frost

James Frost is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer with a Youth Exercise Specialization, located at Club Fitness in Maplewood. With a focus on strength training and functional fitness, James brings his extensive background as a former athlete and police officer into his training philosophy, aiming to enhance the physical capabilities of his clients, particularly first responders.

James’s personal fitness journey began in high school with a weightlifting class that ignited his passion for strength and functional training. His experiences have taught him that fitness is a lifelong journey with no single correct path, evolving through various stages and interests, from powerlifting to general strength conditioning.

James connects with his clients by understanding their personal motivations and goals, creating a supportive and collaborative training environment. He believes in the mantra, “You can have results or excuses, not both,” famously quoted by Arnold Schwarzenegger, which he uses to inspire his clients to push beyond their limits.

Outside the gym, James is deeply involved in his community, coaching his son’s baseball and soccer teams, and enjoying outdoor activities like hiking and fishing. He is also dedicated to service dog training, which adds another layer to his dynamic fitness and personal life.
