"My clients often tell me how much I've changed their lives. Well, I can say without a shadow of doubt, they've definitely changed mine."

James Patrick has been considered a jack of all trades by many, but every hat he wears has the same label of Health and Wellness. As an exercise therapy specialist, group fitness powerhouse, and professional announcer, JP has made a life long career as a personal trainer and wellness consultant. He has over 15 years of experience as a fitness professional. He has had the pleasure of serving as a wellness partner for former Mayor Steve Benjamin's community wellness initiative, MOVE WITH THE MAYOR. He can now be seen every Wednesday alongside WIS News Personality Billie Jean Shaw on "Soda City Live" from 3-4pm. As a recent recipient of Columbia Business Monthly Best & Brightest under 35 James has always believed that education is the platform for growth. The more I educated others, the more I myself desire to learn. James also serves as a community wellness provider for Oak Street Health a local nationally franchised physician clinic catering to individuals that qualify for Medicare. Together, James and his staff provides an array of fitness and wellness components that are free to the community such as Chair Yoga, Chair Fitness, and Strength and Stretch.

JP and the Aspire team strive to engage communities both locally and regionally through education, implementation, and direct interaction. We believe that fitness is not a hobby, but a way of life.
