You did very well on that interview, James. Maybe I am being a pessimist, but to me, it felt like the interviewers were trying to get you to say what they wanted you to say, which could have had negative outcomes for you, but you didn't let that happen. You were friendly, professional, and sincere about your responses, you answered their questions with what you wanted to say.

[@littleripper312]

Yea, instead of getting quality content out of him they wanted to get something outrageous that will get views. I get it, it's a business but they're putting it on way too hard.

You presented yourself very well, professional, not a 'push over', you made good points in a firm but kind manor.

The truth is they are upset at how they feel when you give them a dose of reality instead of feeding their delusion.

[@zafferung4440]

You shouldn't call people 'soft'. The truth about people who call other people 'soft' is that they're deeply insecure.

[@danielrafferty4108]

@@zafferung4440 That's not true at all. Where did you come up with that notion? Insecure people can certainly call you soft to deflect from their own problems sure, but that doesn't automatically mean calling someone soft means you're deeply insecure. Correlation does not mean causation.

@@zafferung4440 If you're mildly triggered by the notion that i could insinuate that people in general, not anybody specific, are soft. Then YOU sound soft, see the difference?

At the start of last year I was very fat and 19 stone. I got myself some kettlebells changed my eating habits and now weigh 13st 5lbs. I still have a lot of body fat but through my changed eating habits and continued kettlebell exercising things are changing slowly. It's only "you" that can change your eating habits and exercise regime. I've been called fat most of my life and am now 53. It's channels like this that offer advice that have really helped in me changing my way of doing things.

[@carlosramos3890]

He came off as a nice person, nothing "politically correct" about that

[@MrJabbothehut]

He was diplomatic, not politically correct. Being politically correct involves distorting language in order to avoid difficult issues. Shaming people only works when that person is taking the piss with stupid behaviour. James made himself very relatable to Piers and Suzanna with the "not putting on a stone over xmas is doing xmas wrong". We're all human and we wall love a good bit of food so there's no need to be a dick to people about it. The main job of being a PT (I speak from experience) is to encourage people to work out and to find a healthy mental balance with their food and to accept that they are human and to curb their expectations.

As a tour cyclist who has cycled solo from England to Italy, I agree that going outside on a bike is better than spinning on rollers, but pro cyclists "go into dark rooms and sit on stationary bikes" when they can't train outside... it's still training

[@SH12SHH]

Exactly this, of course being outdoors riding a bike in the fresh air is better. But not everyone has the time, and sometimes not everyone wants to ultimately it’s the exact same thing just indoors.

[@WhaattUpp]

Absolutely killed the interview.

[@CMSpida]

Everything this man says is true. This is only the second time I've been exposed to James and its true. 4 years ago I was incredibly over weight and 'nothing ever worked' I was very active but thought that meant I didn't have to watch what I was eating. I lost over 50lbs in the space of 6 months the minute I forced myself to pay attention to what was going in my gob and live in a calorie deficit. Going to the gym, Eating cleanly and then a couple of sporting activities a week. When you do this you will lose fat and also understand why you put on weight in the first place. Personally I saw food as entertainment and if I was bored, I'd eat. Its also incredibley important to think about it as losing fat and not losing weight. Once you've lost a decent amount of fat, you may start weighing more as you continue to build muscle. reshaping the narrative of weight loss is important as the minute you see the number on the scales going up its disheartening.

[@samueltaylor5280]

'it's not a fucking lawn mower mate' superb 😂

[@85PN]

You handled this perfectly, well done. Greetings from Singapore!

[@danscifi7370]

you are one of very few people who will tell things how they are to people and i do agree with James on the topics that have been spoken here, it's very sad to see people now taking the easy way and not actually putting any effort into excercise and just becoming lazy about excercising by using things like peloton rather than getting on a pushbike and actually cycling outside in the fresh air rather than using a stationary bike on a zoom call with people you don't know and pedalling but going nowhere, it's basically a treadmill in pushbike form but from the comfort of your own home rather than actually going outside and using their own bikes that can go to places locally without the use of a car.

[@SH12SHH]

Not sad at all, people live different lifestyles some people are busier than others some people have more reason to be at home to others, the fact they have still purchased that bike or treadmill for their home is something within itself. Not everyone wants to ride a bike down a road in the freezing cold and pissing down rain.

[@SirAdammmmm]

Do the things that you enjoy. There are elements of peloton that some people find joyful. Some people consider weight training just picking stuff up and putting it back down. The point is to move your body in a way you want to. It helps if it compliments your lifestylr. I.e if your job requires you to be strong, 12 hours of running a week probably will make your life harder, being really lean and lacking strength. On the flip side if you're a postman walking 40k steps a day, being 3 stone heavier (even with muscle) will make your life harder.

[@brahmanwithin6623]

The problem I had was that after maximizing my calorie deficit, my body got used to it, and instead of losing weight, my body was turning down functions like the temperature, so I was feeling cold and tired all the time. I ended up fixing my diet afterwards. I wasn't fat but I was trying to lose more weight without adding more exercise, just by eating like 1400 calories a day... not the best option!

[@blanketfux]

you played this slick as hell

[@Arcdelio]

I’ve always said that about spinning and running on treadmills! The enjoyable part about running is to get outside, catch some sun, look around and see stuff. No wonder you find running miserable if you do it in a damp gym looking at the wall.

@@FragmentedZombie Well, depending if he want to know or not, he can always just ask them why, and he will find out. I see his point, but there are reasons to cycle indoors. Which means he should understand. Especially as a trainer... maybe they just don't want to pay for a bike.

Love everything you upload

[@MrGatya2]

I love your no nonsense content. Just yesterday I had a conversation with two colleagues at a restaurant, one is overweight and one is really skinny. I managed to pack on 7kg of muscle in the past year by just eating right and exercising right (I used to be skinny for 24+years and once I structured my diet and exercise, I was able to go from 73 to 86 kg and the past year I went from 83 to 90kg at 190cm. So I know what a struggle it is but not impossible). The other two colleagues are trying to convince me that your "body composition/shape/weight" is 80% genetic and 20% diet+excercise. I proceed to tell them its more the other way around. The skinny one proceeds to eat a soup for lunch and the overweight one proceeds to eat a whole plate of hot wings with fried potato and a bowl of cheddar dips..... Then also admits that he buys bags of sunflower seed and always snacks on them passively.... I also saw how much the skinny guy eats usually and his lunches don't even qualify for a side dish for me. The amount of people who are in delusion is astounding. But I have given up trying to convince them. They always ask me how I got into shape and I tell them its calorie regulation and 3 exercise a week. Then they proceed to try to convince me that its genetics and I am somehow lucky to have this kind of body, which is really insulting because they are basically belittling the work I put in, just so that they wouldn't have to face the fact that they are the ones responsible for the shape they are in...

Good on you for not doing a Nick Griffin on TV, by using your intellect to compliment and then guide them to a better version of themselves. Weight loss is a huge mindfuck! it is as simple as calories in v Calories out, but our minds make it complicated by looking for the path of least resistance! I'm on that path, lost allot 30kg, put on 15, now lost another 5, up down etc.. A constant battle of the mind which will probably go on forever, but one you can't stop trying.

[@michaelowens3581]

I'm not anti-spinner. I do think the exercise bike is useful as a tool for cardio. On my cardio days, I do the treadmill (running as much as I can, and walking the rest) for about 45 minutes to an hour. After that, I use the stationery bike to keep moving, and for a bit of cooldown for another 20 minutes.
