At Chapter One, we’re building more than a private training facility—we’re building a community where trainers can grow, learn, and create successful businesses.
Our mission is to provide a private, professional training environment equipped with specialty strength equipment, performance tools, and physical therapy resources that support everyone from elite athletes to everyday clients.
We believe the best trainers never stop learning. That’s why we’re committed to continuing education, collaboration, and creating opportunities for coaches to develop their skills while growing their businesses.
Chapter One exists to give trainers a safe, supportive space to build their careers, serve their clients at the highest level, and become part of a community that values professionalism, education, and long-term success.

With over 15 years of experience training people from all walks of life, James McShane built Chapter One to be the kind of gym he never had growing up—raw, real, and built for people who take their training seriously.
He’s a master personal trainer, a guy who can bench 575, and the proud dog dad to a disabled boxer who reminds him every day what resilience really looks like.
But what truly sets James apart? He didn’t just build a gym. He built a platform—for trainers to grow their business, for clients to chase down real results, and for anyone tired of average to raise their standard.
Chapter One isn’t just his vision. It’s his legacy in motion.
