Our Office Manager
James Page serves as our office manager is an aspiring powerlifting coach. Since joining Blue Ridge Fitness in September 2022, he has dedicated himself to both the gym and nurturing the development of other aspiringlifters. James began his athletic journey in Fall 2009 with a trial for the GMC cross-country team and pursued endurance sports throughout his collegiate career, earning scholarships at NGU before encountering low back issues. In Spring 2018, he shifted his focus to strength sports, graduating from NGU in Fall 2018 with a degree in Accounting. During his training, he became a member of the Upstate Barbell Club, where he was profoundly influenced by Breisch's introduction to the Conjugate and Westside Barbell methods, which provided him with a framework for elite powerlifting. He currently boasts personal bests of 500 lbs. in the squat, 315 lbs. in the bench press, and 500 lbs. in the deadlift, with the goal of achieving an elite total of 1800 lbs.
