James Stark

Co-Founding Director - Temple Quay

I’m James Stark and I’m the founder of Starks Fitness.

For me, SF has always been about how to assist clients in achieving an all-encompassing healthy lifestyle.

From a young age I’ve always been active, whether it be competitive sports or just playing rugby in the garden. I’ve always eaten well, and from my mid-teens I took an interest in nourishing my body correctly to promote muscle growth and maintain a good physique. From early adulthood, I decided to bite the bullet and progress my hobbies into a career – resulting in the birth of Starks Fitness.

My early career focussed predominantly on 1-2-1 coaching where I worked with a range of clients, from local gym-goers to celebrities with a demanding goal at hand. This varied client base enabled me to expand my knowledge but also give me the crucial understanding that we are all humans after the same outcome; to create the best version of themselves.

After opening the physical gym space in 2015, I have since expanded my business to provide our clients with access to a complete fitness lifestyle. SF Nutrition provides top quality protein & supplements using only 100% natural ingredients, SF gyms offer state of the art gym equipment paired with elite coaching standards, SF Retreat is our home away from home to provide the ultimate relaxation and restoration from the chaos of life, and SF Online (including the newly launched SFapp) is a breath of fresh air in the digital fitness space as it offers accessibility to those who crave the SF service from further afield.

Needless to say, I’m proud of what’s been achieved thus far and I’m excited to watch it grow!
