Bill and Judy Pearl met Jim Morris in 1969 when Jim moved to Los Angeles and starting training with Bill. Bill designed Jim's training programs and posing routines. After only a few months training with Bill, Jim won the 1970 Mr. Los Angeles and the 1970 Mr. California titles. Jim went on to win the 1972 Mr. USA title and the 1974 AAU Mr. America title at the age of 37.
Jim currently provides Personal Training in Santa Monica, California and the surrounding areas. His current clientele ranges from serious athletes to seniors seeking a higher level of fitness. Jim was recently talking to Bill and Judy about a personal training system that he wanted to develop that would allow him to provide Online Personal Training. Bill has encouraged Jim to extend his personal training through billpearl.com.
A message from Jim Morris.
There are areas in which we are unique, and those in which we are similar, for example a bench press works the same muscle groups on everyone. It is those similarities that allow us to design training programs. But it is in the uniqueness that lays the challenge of fitting a training program into an ongoing experience as a positive and productive component. In order to be effective, the training program that I design for you must plug into the motherboard, which is your lifestyle and your personality.
Using my knowledge of personal training from the last 50 years, I have
designed an Online Personal Training System. Part of this system is an
extensive fitness questionnaire that will take some time to fill out. There
are questions regarding your current physical health, the equipment that you have available, the amount of time you have to train and what your training goals are. In order to determine whether or not I can be of help it is necessary to have as much relevant information as possible. It will give me greater insight into areas which may be useful or may undermine or minimize your efforts.
Each training program will have illustrated exercises as displayed below in Example A, and suggest the reps, sets and detailed instructions on how to perform each movement. The training programs are in PDF format and are password protected. You can view a sample of a training program by clicking the link below.
Because of the time it takes for me to create a training program I limit the
number of clients that I take on. Pricing is dependent on each client's
needs and goals and will vary from client to client.
I am currently not accepting new clients. Please check back in the near future. Thanks
Example A
1) Standing Medium Grip Barbell Curl
- Hold a barbell with both hands using a palms-up grip about eighteen inches apart
- Stand erect with your feet about sixteen inches apart.
- With the barbell at arm's length against your upper thighs, inhale and curl the bar up to the height of your shoulders keeping your back straight, legs and hips locked out.
- As you are lowering the bar back to starting position, do so in a controlled manner causing the biceps to resist the weight as much as possible.
- Exhale as you return to starting position.
