The people who dedicate their lives to the world of fitness make a profound difference in the lives of the people they work with as well as their communities. There are very few professions which call for your undying loyalty and commitment, much less professions like personal training which literally change lives on a daily basis. Fitness Professionals in this world are long overdue for an organization that is dedicated to celebrating the work that they do, and the outstanding example they set for us all.

He became a chiropractor at a young age of 24. “I did not want to just be a doctor. I wanted to be a doctor AND a trainer of champions.” The only way to learn the secrets of human performance was from the best of the best. So, in his first 6 years volunteered his services at 60+ amateur and professional national and world champion sporting events at his own expense to work with and be a student of the worlds top athletes, coaches and sports doctors.
In 1991, he became one of the first chiropractors in the world to open a full rehabilitation and sports training center. I found that the accepted approaches to training along with standard-of-care medical practices currently used just didn’t make sense to me. And they weren’t providing the long-term results I desired for my patients. There were conflicting schools of thought. For example, top trainers had athletes performing plyometric drills while doctors were telling patients that running, aerobics, jumping and other high impact activities, were bad for them.
I soon discovered that the conflicting information and advice I observed between doctors and trainers, and even among medical specialties, resulted from a misunderstanding of human mechanics. What’s more, I found these misconceptions could only be cleared up once we understand how the body functions in relationship to the world around it — a world governed by laws of nature engineering, physics and, most importantly, common sense. The Team Doctors Training Center of Champions and my work with top athletes was the proving ground for the development of the Human Spring Model and Approach.
His insight into new and innovative examination, treatment and training approaches has earned him the reputation as a top speaker internationally in the fields of sports medicine, anti-aging medicine and other specialized areas of health. Dr Stoxen has organized and given over 1000 live presentations all over the world. Dr Stoxen has lectured on treatment, training and progressive preventive approaches to over 50,000 doctors and scientists at medical CME / ACME accredited medical conferences around the world including China, Japan, Indonesia, UK, Germany, Monaco, Malaysia, Brazil, Spain, Russia, Australia, Thailand, Mexico, Columbia, South Africa and throughout the United States.
He has chaired medical committees for numerous international sports organizations and has personally trained more than 40 athletes to win national or world championships. Dr. Stoxen has spent years in the trenches working sometimes 16-18 hours a day for over 100+ days straight training and motivating his patients and athletes to become champions. In the last 27 years it is estimated that he has consulted with almost 1,000 national and world champions and entertainers.
“What I learned is you cannot become a Personal Trainers Hall Of Fame member if you don’t challenge the system to improve. It means sticking your neck on the line knowing you may get hit a few times but if you want to be a champion then you have to take a few hits on your way up.” Dr. James Stoxen DC

“I would like to congratulate Dr Ted Gambordella, Larry North, Dr. John Spencer Ellis and Scott Sonnon, the other inductees. I am honored to be to be included with these legends.”
