Testimonials
James Fell’s writings, especially on motivation, gave me the push I needed to get off my butt and start working out and eating right – and I’ve lost 30 lbs so far!
– Jill Grow, Lansing, MI
James Fell’s consulting has jump started my weight loss and new strength building. I was unhappy with the way I looked and I felt sluggish and unmotivated. I want to look and be healthy and fit, inside and out. His program and encouragement gave me the incentive to start looking after my health and fitness. I feel so much better now, and am so excited with the changes to my body that his program has developed (I have dents where once was fat!). It is easy to continue to be motivated, seeing these results starting to happen.
– Lynn Leroux, Calgary, AB
Last year I stumbled onto James Fell’s website. His sense of humour and no-nonsense approach to getting in shape was extremely motivating to me. Since then I’ve dropped 30lbs and ran over 320km. My first marathon is coming up next month and I couldn’t be more excited!
James Fell’s ‘Body for Wife’ is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in getting, and more importantly, STAYING in shape. James may not tell you what you WANT to hear but he will tell you what you NEED to hear and he will make it enjoyable too. I have personally lost 85 lbs and 12 inches off my waist by following the principles James teaches.
– Glenn Prewett, Arlington, TX
I love the website and your style of writing. I hate ‘health sites’ that are geared towards women because they are all fluffy and sugar coated. I like your site because it’s cut and dry, no B.S., straight to the point, it’s refreshing and actually motivating.
– Jennifer Elder, Nanton, AB
No more touchy-feely crap! Good, solid advice that makes sense. He may be the Body for Wife guy, but sound advice works for and appeals to both genders.
– Judy Wagner, La Verne, CA
James Fell’s plain talk about diet and exercise will give you the kick in the ass you need to get off the couch and back into shape. If you want someone to hold your hand and tell you how easy it is, keep looking. If you’re looking for practical information and motivation to improve how you look and feel (delivered with a few laughs to soften the blows), he just might be your man.
– Carole Sutherland, Saskatoon, SK
You’re an amazing writer James! Not only do you know your stuff when it comes to fitness, you make the information amusing by being so witty and your website blog is probably my favorite writing that you do. You crack me up! Keep it up and I’ll keep following you and passing it on to others!
-Erin Moor, Vancouver, BC
I am a 72 years old and as a senior I find that Mr. Fell’s fitness advice makes sense. I am no fitness expert so the logical and technical information that he gives, (along with the humor and colorful language), made the book fascinating and extremely informative. Far exceeds any other fitness source that I have come across. It’s a winner!
– Keith Burton, Kilworthy, ON
I have been following James writings for quite a while and check in on his articles regularly. As a professional with a tight schedule and active family life i find his advice very applicable the topics dealing directly with questions I have had myself. I really enjoy his writing style and wit, his fitness website has me laughing out loud on a regular basis.
– Eric Brocklesby, Calgary, AB
You write almost exactly the same way I think. It was like reading something I wrote myself…that is, if I had the ability to put my thoughts into words as well as you do….which I obviously don’t….so actually it wasn’t like that at all. Good stuff though.
– Brian Sanders
I really enjoy your writing style, and think that you’re doing a great thing by forging new territory in a largely-bullshit-infused genre.
– Zak Burkett
Your research is second to none and the subject matter topical. Presentation perfect, incorporates a comfortable humour to entice the couch potato off his/her arse, a common sense, well structured hand book written to take notice of.
– Trevor Timbs
OK James, I’m female and just by reading your intro I’m hooked. Not only am I a wordsmith and adore the cleverness of your domain name, I love your humorous approach.
– Paula Magnuson
I’ve been following you faithfully since your invitation to become a work-out warrior and I did just that. I’ve increased my weekly workouts (running and weight training) from 3 hours per work to an average of 5 (and up to 7 if I can swing it!). Not always easy for a single mother of two small children with a full time job and a home to maintain…but you inspire and push me. Thanks for not sugar-coating it!
– Nicole Beauchamp
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!! You and I are going to get my husbands fat ass in shape. I think your advise and info is 100% informative, helpful and easy to follow. 1 million thank yous.
– Jennifer Morehouse
I just wanted to write and say thanks for putting together such an amazing, straight shooting, information packed site! It is really refeshing to see someone with such a wide knowledge base sharing his knowledge for free. It’s also inspiring to know that you’ve been there, done that and that you’re coming from a place of experience and understanding.

If you are really sick of gimmicks, “quick fixes”, wasting your money, and destroying your confidence; you have come to the right place! Get ready for real, researched, applicable life-long strategies to reach your goals and still LIVE. James does his due diligence and is all about understanding the true physiology and psychology behind weight loss and NOT deprivation. His strategies are sound and manageable for the long-term, and he “lives” what he teaches; his results come from consistency, education and hard work, not perfection. I highly recommend people to read, learn and apply his knowledge to reach AND MAINTAIN goals you never thought possible… enjoy the ride!
