Biography


James was not born with the body he has today, he had to work extremely hard to get to the level where he is now. He was born and raised in a small town of Wisconsin off of Lake Michigan called Port Washington. James and his twin brother were active kids and played various sports- cross-country, football, basketball and soccer. They were often teased for how skinny he was.  James started in martial arts when he was fourteen and quickly advanced to black belt status in Tae Kwon Do. He says he owes a lot of his discipline and determination to this individual sport.

At sixteen years old he began to workout religiously and even took protein shakes and sandwiches to high school so he could eat between classes.  James continued on with his bodybuilding regimen and made improvements in size and conditioning. He competed in six more bodybuilding competitions throughout his college studies at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. After competing in several different organizations, he decided to train for the Mr. Wisconsin contest in 2004. James became the crowd favorite that night and easily won his weight division.

In November 2005, he entered the Musclemania World competition in Hollywood, CA. There were hundreds of athletes from all over the world competing there. Bodybuilders represented such countries as Italy, Argentina, Japan, Germany, Hungry, Mexico, Canada, South Africa, France, Bahrain, New Zealand and many others.  James emerged victorious.  James is also a professional natural bodybuilder through two organizations, the NGA and Musclemania.  He recently won the title of Mr. Natural California. 

James recently graduated from California State University Northridge with a Master's Degree in exercise physiology.  He also works there as a strength training teacher.

See what James' clients are saying!
 

I decided to invest in a personal trainer to help me lose the weight I gained in college.  I chose James because he has the complete package as a personal trainer.  I didn't want someone that was just going to help me lose the fat temporarily.  James taught me how to improve my current body and how to maintain it for life.  He was realistic about my goals and so motivating with regards to healthy living.  It truly was an investment because I understand what I was doing wrong and now I know what is correct. Now I am very fit the happiest I have been with my image which to me is priceless!

My relationship with James has been very positive and beneficial.  His passion for health and fitness shines through while he is instructing others and it motivates his clients to do their best.  James is very approachable and personable, not intimidating in the slightest way.  I consider him an unsurpassed expert in the field of fitness and strength training.  He is extremely knowledgeable, kind-hearted and safety-oriented.  He is also intellectually curious; we discuss nutrition and fitness topics on a physician's level on a regular basis.  James has an outstanding willingness to learn and then to pass that knowledge onto others.

In the first four months I worked with James, I made significant progress.

My body fat declined by over 4%, while my lean body mass and overall weight increased from 165 to 170 pounds.

Aside from improving my lifts and cardiovascular endurance, my clothes fit better. People on an unsolicited basis commented about the change in my appearance.  James is personable, dependable, and motivating.

Mark Chaplin, Encino

"After working with several trainers prior to James, I was discouraged with the lack of results. When a friend referred me to James Kohler I decided to give it one more try. I was surprised to find that after working with him for only a couple weeks that I was already seeing progress and that I was actually enjoying working out again. James and I have been working out on a regular basis now for over a year and the results are amazing. Just like my friend recommended that I use James as my trainer, I am recommending to anyone else who is in need of a new routine to give him a call."
