  I've been working out with Lucas for a little over a year now. Lucas is very attentive to what each client needs, what my limits are, and knows just how... read more to push me.

  Lucas James works with a range of clients. He helped me get from mediocre to athletic and from a from generic body to well sculpted. His direction, support, and encouragement... read more helped me get on the path and stay on it.

  LJ is a premiere trainer in Scottsdale, Arizona. I met Lucas a few years ago and I've seen him train others as I would workout. I decided to take him... read more on and I am so glad I did. I thought I knew how to lead a healthy lifestyle but I was doing multiple things wrong from what I was eating to workout form to a variety of exercises I didn't even know existed. Lucas made it fun for me and I began enjoying workouts again. He changes it up on each session, this was the plan I voted for after an extensive and focused consultation that took about an hour. 5 star trainer! Thank you Lucas for all the attention you have me and for making me stronger both physically and mentally. I truly appreciate you! Bryan

  Lucas James is quite simply the best personal trainer in Scottsdale, Arizona. I spent 9 months training with Lucas from the Fall of 2012 to the Summer of 2013. During... read more that time I was able to lose over 50 pounds and decrease my body fat percentage to around 15%. I am currently in the best shape of my life.

Lucas offers a complete program that not only focuses on exercise but also nutrition. With regard to nutrition, Lucas will ask you to track all of your food. I was provided with nutrient goals and ideas for meals and snacks. There is no strict diet regiment. If you eat it you track it. With Lucas the focus is learning to make healthy eating decisions. This will not happen overnight and it's not always easy. Lucas and his nutritionist are a wealth of information. I've gone from eating fast food almost daily to preparing healthy meals ahead of time for my busy workweeks.

When it comes time to working out with Lucas you will never know what he has up his sleeve. He constantly varies exercises and switches up workouts. When this adventure began I never thought I would go from using the elliptical machine to running a mile in under 7 minutes. Lucas believed and pushed me until I was there and then a little further. I've learned how to properly use weights and exercise equipment and how to improvise if something I need isn't available. Don't think that working out with Lucas will mean that you're stuck in the gym. We went hiking and did stadium stairs and track work as well. You will never get bored of the workouts. Had it not been for going on an outdoor run together one time I probably would have never started running outdoors. Now my runs are typically no shorter than 6 miles.

Don't forget though, you will get out what you put in. Lucas will be there to give you tools, knowledge and motivation to succeed. It's up to you to use them to their fullest. Without hesitation I would recommend Lucas to anyone looking for a personal trainer.

  I have referred Lucas James Celebrity Personal Trainer to many clients in Scottsdale Az, he is amazingly professional and gets the best weight loss results hands down. Lucas James is... read more very expensive but worth every penny to achieve your fitness and nutritional goals. I personally have completely rebuilt my physique with Lucas James and look forward to our sessions!

  Working with personal trainer Lucas James from Scottsdale, Arizona has been two words: Life Changing. I've played sports my entire life and thought I was in pretty good shape and... read more good health. After seeing that my blood pressure and cholesterol levels were pretty high, I wanted to do something about it. And like most guys, I was also looking to add more lean muscle to my 6'2" - 160 lbs frame.

When I met with Lucas to discuss my goals, I never felt pressured or insecure. His friendly personality let me know that I could trust him with my health. After he monitored my workouts and charted my typical meals and daily activities, he not only put together a workout plan for me, but it was a PERSONAL and UNIQUE lifestyle program. This included and in depth 18-page report full of foods I could eat, example meals for the day, workout routines, and "food goals" I needed to hit to transform my body. Also, he didn't just give me this report and send me on my way. I got emails, text messages, and phone calls from him to check-in and make sure I was on track. He would give me motivational coaching that I needed to stay focused.

It wasn't easy, but the most rewarding things in life are also the most challenging. I'm about 14 months into the dedicated lifestyle change and I'm at the happiest I've ever been. I'm now 185 lbs, and about 11% body fat. My chest has grown 3-4" and my biceps have grown 3". I look good, feel even better, and constantly get compliments on my physique.

I recommend Lucas James to anyone that wants a COMPLETE and HEALTHY lifestyle change. This isn't crash diets, or quick fixes... it's something you earn and something you can be proud of. You not only get a body makeover, you get a brain transformation and an invigorating approach to life!

  Too many happy hours with great drinks and appetizers had caught up with me. I didn't feel good about how I looked or felt. I hired Lucas James to... read more help me lose weight and get fit. I chose him not only because he himself is a picture of great fitness & health, but also because he offers a complete fitness and nutrition program. Lucas is professional. His training program works. I lost 10% of my body weight within 4 months, and lost several inches around my waist and legs.... and I feel healthy and look physically fit. I'd highly recommend Lucas if you're serious about seeing some seriously excellent results!

  Mr. Lucas James was instrumental in helping me look and feel great for my wedding.


Not only did he recommend and push my workouts, he didn't... read more hold back on emphasizing the significance of a clean diet. Additionally, his dietician named Mary was great in trying to keep me compliant (which was a challenge from my perspective lol)


Long story short, I am very happy with his team, and would recommend anyone to trust his words of executive personal training and wisdom.

  Where to start!

I've always been a very active and health conscious individual who believes in honoring our bodies through working out, and fueling with all the right... read more food. Before I met Lucas and Alyssa I was dedicated to spinning and lifting heavy weights. The heavy weight lifting made my body bulky and I believe doing spin for so long my body plateaued. I listened to my body and knew it wasn't a matter of my dedication but this approach wasn't working for my body.
Everyone's different!
Listen to your body.

I started with Alyssa with a goal of long, lean and toned. I weighed in at 165 and am now 145 which I reached over a 5 month period. I have maintained this number for a long time now.

If your craving the cookie? Eat the cookie. Listen to your body. If your dedicated in the gym you can still have fun and see results.

key word: balance. (Alyssa will be the first to tell you this).

Back to my girl
She switches it up all the time so your body doesn't plateau. Lifting lighter weights with cardio blasts in between sets. Quick spurts of heart rate up high ^ then back down for lifting has really worked for me. She always has me doing something new. She's motivating in a kind way and keeps you moving. I don't do well with a yelling or too aggressive approach because to me it's really a celebration of the body we have, to challenge it and to see how mentally and physically strong we are. My goals will be different then yours and she will customize everything to your needs. The session is one hour long which I LOVE because 45 minutes has felt rushed with past trainers.

I'm not trying to be a body builder or be into this big juicy booty trend...

just tight + toned + healthy
I'm there and am proud to have Lucas (best mentor around) + Alyssa be a big part of this journey.

Love to both of you.
