Private Coaching

James Lee demanded the most out of us and pushed us. He was always in control, didn’t waste any time, and was very open to feedback and questions. I highly recommend taking his class.”

STUDIO Student
James Lee has become my go-to coach. He challenges me to make the most truthful choices, and run toward the risk. He has clear, high expectations of his students, but provides a very loving and welcoming environment at the same time. With James Lee, I always feel safe to risk being wrong.”
