About Me - Online Strongman Coach

Hi, I am James Crozier, owner, and Strongman Coach at JC Performance Coaching. I have always been a fitness and exercise fanatic, competing in a multitude of sports but have spent the last 25+ years focusing on strength training. I spent 10 years of this focusing solely on competing in Strongman, having the privilege of training and competing against some of the best athletes in the UK/world with highlights of competing in a number of national and international competitions. 

I have been coaching in the fitness industry in different capacities for 15+ years but after a mental health crisis it led me to obtaining my degree in Forensic Psychology and Counselling in 2020, and then going on to achieving my MSc degree in Sport and Exercise Psychology in 2021. As a level 3 qualified Personal Trainer, I decided to increase my knowledge by obtaining my Strength and Conditioning and Nutritional qualifications (Level 4) uniquely placing me to help you achieve your strength goals. 

Since launching JC Performance Coaching in 2020 I have helped 100’s of individuals achieve their Strength/Strongman goals in both specialist and commercial gyms as well as an online coach. 

My greatest pleasure is helping and seeing others achieve Strength/Strongman goals, overcoming their obstacles and building a TEAM and community of likeminded individuals!
