Evansville, Indiana

Get strong again, without guessing what to do in the gym.

James Anderson coaches 1:1 and small-group strength and conditioning at partner gyms across the Evansville area. You get a plan, and someone watching every rep.

Who this is for

You want to feel strong, not sore, confused, and stalled.

Most people quit because nobody told them what to do, how heavy, or how often. Weeks go by, nothing changes, and the gym starts to feel like a waste of an hour.

The problem outside

A program pulled off the internet that does not match your body, your schedule, or the equipment in front of you.

The problem inside

Walking in unsure, hovering near the machines, leaving before you touched the thing that actually builds strength.

What changes here

One coach who knows your history, writes your sessions, and adjusts the plan when life gets in the way.

Training

Three ways to train with James

01

1:1 Personal Training

For anyone who wants a coach watching every rep

Private sessions built around your strength, your schedule, and the gym you already use. Every session is programmed ahead of time and adjusted on the floor based on how you move that day.

  • Movement and strength assessment on session one
  • Programming written for your goal, not a template
  • Hands-on coaching for squat, hinge, press, and pull
  • Progress tracked session to session

02

Small-Group Strength

For 2 to 4 friends, partners, or teammates

The same coaching eye, split across a small group. You train the same block together while James scales the loading and the movements to each person in the room.

  • Groups capped at four so nobody trains unsupervised
  • Shared warm-up, individual loading
  • Strength and conditioning in one session
  • Lower cost per person than 1:1

03

Strength & Conditioning Blocks

For athletes and anyone training for a season or an event

Multi-week blocks that build a base, then sharpen it. Lifting, sprint and sled work, and recovery guidance organized into a plan with a start date and an end date.

  • Block written across 6 to 12 weeks
  • Speed, power, and work-capacity work
  • Deload weeks planned, not improvised
  • Check-ins between sessions

Meet your coach

James Anderson coaches every session himself.

No rotating trainers, no handoffs. James runs Buff By James on his own, which means the person who writes your program is the person standing next to you when the bar gets heavy.

  1. 01

    Call or text James

    Tell him your goal, your schedule, and where you like to train. Five minutes on the phone is enough.

  2. 02

    You move, he watches. That session sets the starting loads and the plan for the next several weeks.

  3. 03

    Train and get stronger

    Show up, follow the plan, and add weight to the bar. Progress gets tracked so you can see it.
