MEET JAMES

James Maybourn

Hi thanks for checking out my website, I love love love the outside whether thats hiking in Kent or Wales, wild camping weekends or running ultra marathons in the UK and abroad.

A bit about my back ground is I started out as a Royal Navy Marine Engineer, I spent time patrolling in the Arabian gulf, Anti Piracy operations in Somali waters and drug busting in the Mediterranean it was awesome and gave me the chance to meet some amazing people and visit some interesting places.

After leaving the RN I became a personal trainer and set up James Fitness, a small group personal training studio which helps over 100 men and woman feel fitter, healthier and more confident. We celebrate our 10th year this year and in 2016 my wife and I started Bay Running Shop an independent running shop both gym and shop are based in Herne Bay, Kent.

I set up Adventure Fit UK to help more people get outside, to get out their comfort zone and just get closer to nature. I regularly host guided hikes and trail runs in the South East and beyond. I am also adding dates for weekend expeditions and map reading navigation courses to help you feel confident in the woods and hills in the UK.

I hope you can join me outside soon ❤️
