Testimonials

Here's what our customers have to say:
"An amazing personal training program! I use to just go to the gym and do random machines/workouts and have no idea what I was doing and never saw any results. Starting the online training program with James was a game changer! All my workouts are posted on the app so I could do them whenever I had time, which is great for me with my busy work schedule. The workout plans are very easy to follow and enjoyable. All the exercises have videos on how to do them which are really well made! James is always super quick to respond to any of my questions and you can tell he’s passionate about what he does. Thanks to James I feel so much more confident with my body and how to workout properly!"

"Gym Truck has massively improved my quality of life. I reached out to James looking for help with an impingement in my left shoulder. It got so bad that I could barely lift my arm over my arm over my head. Everyday activities became painful to complete and I had to almost completely stop rock climbing and training Jiu-Jitsu.
Fortunately, James set me up with the Gym Truck Bullet Proof Shoulder System, a 12 week physical therapy program using resistance bands to strengthen and stimulate blood flow to not only the troubled area but everything up and down the chain. James provided videos showing exactly how to perform every work out and was always available if I had any questions. After only a week of consistently doing the program, I could feel the difference. Slowly, as the pain in my shoulder faded, my strength and range of motion in that arm returned. I’m now back to living my life and doing my favorite hobbies pain-free thanks to James. I can’t recommend them enough! The simplicity and convenience of Gym Truck is unbeatable. Wherever you are on your health journey, they can help optimize the time and energy you put into it.

"Highly recommended 10 out of 10 I had an injured bicep. James, put me on a program that helped me get back to 100%. I didn’t think it could be done better than physical therapy. Thanks again you’re the best."
— Angel
"James is the best coach, his program helped me get back on track after a knee surgery. I cannot recommend him enough to anyone trying to recover from specific injuries or just enhance their overall physical and mental well-being. Thank you again Bro 🙏🏼"

"I have worked with James for over three years; before him I hadn't been able to keep a fitness routine for more than 3 months. He is amazing at meeting you where you are at and building you up from there, old or young, weak or strong, out-of-shape or in-shape. I can honestly say that it is because of him my middle-aged a$$ has been able to participate in my children's fitness activities that I normally wouldn't have been able to; multiple 5Ks, wildflower bike rides, and backpacking trips in the high Sierras, all because of our work together. Do yourself a favor, contact James, it's never too late to start living a more healthy lifestyle."
— Philip S.
"Working with James has been such a life changing experience from the personally curated work outs to weekly check ins and just the real feeling of support and connection has been something I didn't know that I needed. I have created so much more stamina, strength, and mental resilience during the last few months of us working together. Thank you So much !!!"

"I was slightly skeptical signing up with James and Gym Truck Chico. I’ve tried to lose weight in the past and ended up doing it ways that are not sustainable. I am SO GLAD I signed up for 7 months! I have already lost 13 pounds and I haven’t hit the two month mark yet. James is such a great coach and he makes himself available 24/7 for support. The nutritional plan and workouts are tailored specifically to ME and MY goals. I feel better than I ever have and I’ve healed injuries that have been plaguing me for months. Invest in yourself and sign up with James and Gym Truck Chico—it will be the best money you’ve ever spent"

"Having been a customer of Gym Truck for over 3 years since February of 2021, I have found James and his company to be the best option to keep me accountable to my body with my busy schedule. His truck will be in my driveway at 5:30 whether I want to or not, and that’s the extra nudge I needed. Not only is James my trainer, I consider him a trusted friend of our family. Highly recommend!"
— Steve N.
"I was finding it hard to stay on track and exercise regularly.  James has been the perfect answer.  He knows what he's doing, keeps me accountable, and is fun and friendly.  Home training is also very convenient and comfortable.  I look forward to my time working out and always feel great afterwards.  Highly recommend."
— Cycle W.
"I can recommend Gym Truck. My wife and I been working out with them for about two years. My personal results went from 299 to almost 263t does not sound like a lot but a 44 to a 38 waist. I have learned volume control on eating and better ways to pick up things. I am 57 and a heavy equipment mechanic. I need to be careful move properly and enjoy retirement when i get to. Losing size has helped greatly reduce back pain and sore knees give them a try."
— William S.
"Hands down best personal trainer I’ve never met. As a mid size woman in this day and age it can be so intimidating to get a personal trainer that makes me feel comfortable, understood and genuinely wants the best for me and treats us like a family. I’m
Motivated without feeling pressured to be at a certain social standard and works with me at my low level and has made my experience one worth wanting to progress. I’ve lost more weight in one month than I have ever on my own, even when I was younger with more will power. I’m learning lifestyle over diet and enjoying life and healthy lifestyle, one thing I’ve struggled with my whole life. I’m just not forever grateful and can’t wait to see what happens mentally, physically and emotionally through this program. Changing lives out here more just in the gym. ❤️"

"It’s been 6 months of experience with James at GymTruckChico so far! After reading pretty great reviews on google, and watching introductory video on his website, I was sure that James was the right person to help me with my transformation. 6 months later I don’t have a single doubt about it ! James has professional but also very personable approach to his clients! Understanding, supporting along the way, motivating and 100% knowing how to help his client to succeed! That’s my experience. What I especially love about my training - is that not only my body gets stronger and in shape, but also my mind! It’s very critical for me, because I want to grow and be successful in my everyday life! James definitely helps with it through sharing his knowledge and focusing on what is important! Thank you James, thank you GTC!"
— Yana S.
"I started my journey about a month ago and it has been the best experience yet! James is amazing at what he does! He truly cares about helping his clients reach their goals and is always willing to help with any questions one might have. Whenever I have a question, I send him a text and he’s usually pretty quick about responding! I am a mother of 2 active kids, I work full time and I am applying to nursing schools but since I’ve started my journey I’ve lost 9 lbs! I am already feeling healthier and can see the results when I take my clothes off or look in the mirror. I am so grateful to have a coach like James who is guiding me through it all! I can’t wait to crush more goals and see the results! 10/10, highly recommend!"
— Jessica M.
"I have had a great experience with James at Gym Truck Chico. I lost 20lbs and am a lot stronger than I was before. He worked with all my injuries, modifying exercises to create a custom workout just for me. I used to be in constant pain and had just learned to live with it. I’m now able to do most household and yard work chores without fear of intense pain the next day. I’m truly grateful for the accountability as I knew I needed the extra help. As an added bonus, my relationship with food has also changed for the better. Thank you James for helping me lose the weight and get out of pain."
— Jill M.
"What an amazing fam!!!! They care, they put in the time and they truly believe in your success. James is not only someone who talks the talk but he walks the walk. I am someone who knows the healthy lifestyle I just needed a little push and help. My biggest help I needed was mindset and through a lot of time and dedication, that James didn’t have to put in but did, it’s helped me make the forward progress to a healthy mindset that will allow this never ending healthy journey to stay positive and fruitful. Thank you James and gymtruck fam!!!! Couldn’t have done it without you and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me."

"Gym truck Chico is professional, innovative and convenient. I've lost 25 lbs since starting James' routine and diet advice. Gym truck gave me the accountability and routine I was needing."
— Jessica L.
"James is a very knowledgeable on nutrition. He helped me go from 185 to 200 on his plan. He was checking up on me everyday day and helped make adjustments when I needed them. I highly recommend not only for his knowledge but his approachability. He cares about his clients and the goals they want to achieve."
— Victor D.
"Gym Truck Chico has been a blessing in my life. I am diabetic and was severely overweight before I started my contract. I knew I needed a change but I knew I lacked the confidence and motivation to make the difference alone.

Gym truck Chico has changed my life. My diabetes was spiraling out of control with a 7.4 A1C and I was 300lbs. I hated myself and struggled with depression for many years. I signed a 7 month contract with Alex and that was when my life started to change. My A1C is down to 6 flat and my doctor told me my diabetes is manageable and that I will soon be off metformin. I am now 243 when I was once 300lbs and those are just the physical changes that my trainer and James helped me achieve.

The mental strength and confidence that they gave me will last a life time. There is no way I could have done this journey without James and Alex I will always appreciate you guys and never forget what you did for me and what you are continuing to do!

I went from hating myself and avoiding Mirrors, to being able to finally look in the mirror and love the person I am turning into and what I am starting to see. They are more than a gym buddy they are a blessing, they are your path to happiness, they are your path to truly loving yourself and they are there every step of the way to build commitment with yourself.

If you are struggling like I was but are serious about wanting to make a change I HIGHLY recommend gym truck. I just signed a year contract after my 7 months and I cannot wait to see where this year takes me. They are 100% loyal to you and what you need to to be successful and signing up with them truly changed my life."

"I’m a 74 year old woman who walked, biked, and practiced yoga. After recovering from a broken wrist, I was feeling weak and felt a personal trainer was the answer. Hiring James at Gym Truck has made all the difference in my recovery. James assessed where I was, what my goals were, and developed protocols to help me recover and build strength. At six months out, I’m feeling stronger and some of my previous aches have diminished. Carla Dunham"
— Jerry D.
"Love these guys. Alex is amazing. Tell him your goals and he'll provide you the tools to achieve them! You just gotta do the work."
— Lisa B.
"James is very inspirational, he brought out the motivation for my work out and 2 months into it the results are amazing, changed my health and well being, he really knows how to focus on the needs of each individual person, I really appreciated the customized work out and nutrition plans. Follow up. Just finished my 1 year program with james, originally I thought I year would be hard but enough, my progress for the first 3 months was great but I never imagined I would turn out being in the shape I am in today, I am more fit then I was 30 years ago, my aches and back pains are no longer an issue and I am full of energy, now I can not imagine not working out with james, it became a lifestyle of health and happiness. My husband was so impressed that he got hooked also, I believe this is the best investment anybody can make in themselves."
— Vera M.
"I have worked with several trainers over the years and thought I knew how to work out, my wife started working with james and the results in a short time were amazing so I decided to work with him also, almost every exercise I have done for over 40 years turned out to be wrong, he corrected my postures and moves, in a short amount of time my results were great, then he worked with me on nutrition, at almost 60 years old I feel and look 40, my body feels great, no more old man pains, this has been the best health related investment I have ever made."
— Robert M.
"If you're looking for a gym that feels like family, and makes sure your your first rep is as solid as your last in proper form; this is the place for you! I promise you will see results. If you do nothing for yourself, try this, you will not regret it!"
— Michelle R.
"James is an incredible coach and is perfect for people who want to actually see results"
— Kaleb C.
"Highly quality one on one training. Their methods have changed me for the better. Weight loss, healthier dietary decisions, strength and confidence. The owner James Biccum is the coach and trainer everyone deserves."
— Ian C.
"I've met a ton of trainers in my past, but I can say with full certainty that James is by far the most remarkable. His knowledge of the body and how to use the equipment is honestly quite mind-blowing. He's not just coming to these sessions to get you to your fitness goals and leave. He wants to see you mentally fit as well. If you're having a bad day, I can assure that he genuinely cares about your wellbeing and you'll be feeling better by the time he leaves. His workouts are intense, but in a way that you look forward to it each day. I've been working with James for about 8 months now, and I can't think of one thing I'm dissatisfied in!"
— Kaylee C.
"I was looking for a personal trainer that would come to our location that didn't require a gym membership that would work with my daughters work and school schedule. I found Gym Truck Chico and was beyond happy with them. James was super responsive from the first message and consult. My daughter enjoyed working with her trainer Alex. Can't wait to use their services for my husband and myself.!!"
— Raelene B.
"I had such an outstanding experience with Gym Truck. The entire team is top tier and over deliver in every area! This is an amazing experience! So personalized and very responsive. Worked great with my insane schedule!

"James is the actual Man, I’m a Special Forces Operator and constantly need my body to be ready for whatever is thrown my way ie, 20 mile rucks with 100lb packs, or casualty carries, my body is constantly red lined. Not only does James understand this but he takes the time to develop safe effective training that keeps my body safe but at the same time helps me to preform at peak levels of proficiency. I do not have a lot of time in my day to day life and James does a phenomenal job giving me workouts that are quick and to the point. I have worked out using his guidance for years now and will continue to do so. Cannot stress how much I recommend working with this guy."
— Joe J.
"James' coaching is really involved and definitely well thought out. I reached out to him needing some rehabilitation workouts after injuring my knee. James was very knowledgeable and has been able to provide me with the right steps to getting my knee back on track. Thank you James!!"
— Ashlee F.
"The Gym Truck is an awesome approach for those who have difficulty finding time or motivation to go an in-person gym. The workouts are tough and involving, and definitely leave you feeling like you've had a great full-body workout. Can't recommend them enough!"
— Erick F.
"We've worked with James for the last few months and have seen a great improvement in overall strength, fitness and mobility. He is flexible with our schedule and a really likeable guy. It's always a fun workout (even when it's brutal), and our kids get excited to join in with us. Definitely recommend Gym Truck for anyone who wants to increase their activity and get in better health!"
— Jessica S.
"If you’re considering starting any sort of program with GymTruck, DO IT! I started off with a 6 week challenge to help get back on track after not taking care of myself last year, and I couldn’t be happier. James built a personalized program for my goals while working around an existing injury. Over the last 6 weeks it has felt stronger than it has in well over a year, and I’m excited about the other athletic improvements I’ve seen as well. James very clearly cares about the long term health of his clients. Rather than shoving some quick fix at you, he provides solutions that will help you build better habits and get sustainable results. He also makes sure to have good communication with you, both during workouts and with check-ins over text to make sure you’re doing well.
If you’re looking to improve your health or athleticism, I couldn’t recommend James more! I’m excited to continue working with him, and absolutely love the service he provides through GymTruck.

"I have an "outsider looking in" perspective that I'd like to share. My husband works a rotating shift which makes attending traditional gym programs on a consistent basis difficult. Gym Truck was the absolute perfect solution for him! James has been working out with my husband for a few months now (3x week). One thing I've noticed is that James focuses on making sure the exercises/movements are done properly to prevent injury. Another thing that may seem small but is very important...James has never been late to or cancelled a training session. Not once. He respects his clients' time and wants to make the most of the workouts. He hauls his equipment in and within minutes my husband is working hard! I would recommend to anyone but especially those working non-traditional schedules or moms looking to exercise while baby is napping, etc.

"I couldn’t recommend Gym Truck enough. James is a hard working and trustworthy trainer. His workouts are catered to your needs and desires and he is motivated and motivating. I have been with Gym Truck now for a little over a month but I’m hooked. Membership comes with a meal plan and as many workouts a week as you need. James comes to you wherever you wanna work out which eliminates any need to motivate yourself to go to the gym. Call this guy right now. Seriously, right now.

"Feeling confident again! Hesitant to workout after having four kids and a busy schedule that left no time for ME, James came into our home to evaluate and created a schedule that works for both my husband and myself. With the quality, time and knowledge that he has given to me, I can now safely say that I meal prep with no issue and have no problem with our check ins as I am dedicated to his training and making a better ME. I feel that I have gained a new perspective on being healthy and confident in my movements each day that he is here to work with me. As time has gone by our 4 kids have also joined us for a few sessions and enjoy learning the correct techniques and way to stretch and train. With a very active family and attempting to keep up with the kids, James has helped me gain my strength and confidence to get out and get some movement with the kids. I look forward to what goals I can accomplish in the new year with James here to help get us there. He comes highly recommended by our active family of 6!

"James is a fantastic trainer. From the first time I inquired about his services to now that he is our personal trainer, he has always been very responsive and professional.
I was nervous at first about hiring a personal trainer for my 13-year-old son and I. We were doing CrossFit have a gym but didn’t feel comfortable going back because of the virus. I didn’t know what to expect and if we would like his style of training.
Turns out I was more than pleasantly surprised. James shows up on time for every class, has his equipment ready, and is prepared to work with two people 30 years apart in age One thing I really appreciate is his attention to our form and making sure that we were doing the exercises correctly so we don’t get injured.
I highly recommend James. He’s very knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition. He can motivate my 13-year-old son and keeps me motivated as well

"James is the real deal! He understands recovery, quality strength workouts, builds customized nutrition plans, and is positive through every step. I've been out of shape for a while and he has preached joint integrity to keep me safe from injury. I believe this is the future of personal training. The best part is with my family's crazy schedule he comes to me for workouts. If you want to get your body right!!!! Call James!!

"I opted for the 1:1 personal trainer when I needed to get back in shape to rejoin the military. For me, I needed help with a focus on strength training at a beginner level but what I received was far more customized and intuitive. James was my trainer and he designed workout routines specific to my goals and explained the what and why behind every movement. This wasn't boring instruction, he was knowledgeable and actually cared that I reached my goals. Anyone can post YouTube videos about various exercises; I went with GymTruckChico because I wanted a better me with more focus on what to do right. I was sick of wasting my time and energy and getting what I felt like was nothing in return for my effort.

Highly recommend them!"
— John F.
"James came over to my house and made the whole step by step process so easy and he genuinely cares about you and your health and isn’t worried about the money. Wants you to be well and feel good in your body. His weekly check ins will keep you on track and he supports you the entire time. 10/10 James is amazing.
