James Darling

James Darling has been in the business of fitness for over 20 years. His passion is to push students as hard as he can while keeping everyone entertained and having fun. Using his BFA in dance as a basis for every class whether it’s Pilates, HIIT, Yoga Reset, Barre, Power Half Hour, or Stretch, you’ll always find foundation, alignment, and working smart at the core of his workouts. A firm believer in listening to one’s own body makes him the type of instructor who can help you through your workouts with modifications and alternate exercises when needed to keep you safe and take you to the next level. Working in New York for Equinox NYSC, Clay Fitness, Gold’s Gym, and Printing House, before branching out to work with private and corporate clients finetuned his teaching skills. Some of his favorite moments in his long fitness career are being a brand ambassador for Lulu Lemon, teaching dance classes in Times Square for Colorectal Cancer awareness, and filling tents in Union Square for Pilates for Pink. So if your goal is to get in better shape while knowing you’re in good hands, and having a good time, James is the instructor for you!
