James Fotheringham
*** Natural Evolutionary Movement ***
As a young boy training in the environment where he grew up, James would
"play" Tarzan - swimming, climbing, crawling, balancing, jumping, running,
lifting, throwing, and carrying. Discovering Erwan LeCorre's Movnat natural
movement system in 2009 sent James on a quest to learn everything he could
about Movnat and Methode Naturelle, as it re-connected him with his
childhood training. James (along with Luis) were among the first people in
the Bay Area to personally train with Erwan when he came to San Francisco.
We believe Movnat training provides practical fitness that allows an
individual to experience a simpler, more efficient and no-nonsense physical
and mental training and lifestyle.
James has a background of over twenty years experience in ocean aquatics,
traditional Japanese martial arts, cycling, strength & conditioning, and
most recently Movnat. He has studied anatomy, physiology, nutrition, Asian
martial and healing arts, yoga, pilates, core conditioning, boxing
conditioning, exercise science, evolutionary fitness, and barefoot running.
James combines all of the above influences to teach group and one-to-one
training sessions, with an emphasis on natural evolutionary movement,
bodyweight exercises, strength/conditioning, and play.
James holds a Bachelors of Science in Information Systems from University of
San Francisco. He additionally holds the following certifications: ACT
Certified Personal Trainer, Emergency Medical Technician, CPR & AED,
Certified Massage Therapist, Shodan Bujinkan Taijutsu, Rescue Systems 1, and
Rescue Diver. In his free time, James is a certified scuba diver working on
his Dive Master certification, and is loving SUP (Stand Up Paddle) and just
about anything else he can do in the water.
