Building Strength, Community, and Confidence

Jonathan Breeden: [00:00:00] On this week’s episode of The Best of Johnston County Podcast. Our guest is James Woodall, the owner and founder of Woodall Fitness in Clayton. We talked to James a little bit about how he got into the fitness business and how he got to know and worked with and learn to box from Dana White, who now runs UFC and Chuck Liddell, one of the greatest fighters of all time. That was a fascinating story.

We also talked to him a little bit about the uniqueness of his gym, how it is not CrossFit, and how it’s not a traditional gym either. So if you’re interested in different types of fitness, how movement can be better and pain free. This is a good podcast to listen to.

We also talked to him a little bit about the summer camps he provides and his involvement with the Clayton Rotary Club and Backpack Buddies. So listen in.

Welcome to another episode of Best of Johnston County, brought to you by Breeden Law Office.

A lot of Novo Nordisk is going on anyway, so he’s got a tremendous facility there. His kind of gym is not like a traditional gym. It’s not CrossFit, but it’s also not your standard elliptical and free weights. So we’re gonna talk to him a little bit about that and what underground training is his involvement [00:02:00] with the Clayton Rotary Club and all the community service that he does here in Johnston County, he is one of the true community leaders, which is why I wanted to have him on.

James Woodall: No, that’s good. That’s good. I can keep up.

Jonathan Breeden: You can keep up. Good. Good, good. So anyway tell the audience who you are and what you [00:03:00] do.

James Woodall: Sure. I am James Woodall and I own Woodall’s Fitness and Performance. And we’ve been open in Johnston County over 20 years now. And I’m also a teacher at Lifespring Academy where I coach and teach health PE. Anatomy, physiology, biology, leadership classes.

Jonathan Breeden: Well, that’s great. That’s great. I did not know until I got your questionnaire for this that you taught at lifespring.

I just knew about your studio there that I drive by all the time. Gonna the Workforce Development Center for varying things with Leadership Johnston. I was on the board of Johnston Community College for a number of years.

James Woodall: Sure.

Jonathan Breeden: All that stuff. And I should have probably stopped at going in, given the shape I’m in.

So, anyway. But so how did you get into the, to the fitness business? Because I don’t think that was your first career.

James Woodall: Well I’ve been a trainer and owned my own business since 1991.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay, alright.

James Woodall: Yeah. That started in Las Vegas.

Jonathan Breeden: Oh, okay.

James Woodall: Yeah. So in Las Vegas I owned a traveling personal training company.[00:04:00]

Jonathan Breeden: Okay.

James Woodall: Where I would go to the house

Jonathan Breeden: Okay.

James Woodall: And train the clients. And my family is from Johnston County, but my dad’s Air Force, he’s retired Air Force now, so I grew up traveling every two to three years to a different, you know, air Force base. Well, they ended up retiring out in Las Vegas and I was going to Western Carolina.

I was running track at Western Carolina.

Jonathan Breeden: Oh yeah, the Catamounts.

James Woodall: Catamounts

Jonathan Breeden: Silver

James Woodall: Yes. And my dad, his last. Assignment was to go to Korea. My mom was an administrator there in Clark County in Las Vegas, and so they said, Hey, we need you to come out, be with your mom, be close to the family.

My sister was graduating from high school and so I transferred to UNLV.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay.

James Woodall: And graduated UNLV in 1991.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay. [00:05:00]

James Woodall: And that summer I started fitness.

Jonathan Breeden: You started doing fitness. Okay. I didn’t realize that. Alright.

James Woodall: Yeah. And so I started traveling around to all the different clients right through their home.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay. And so when did you come back to Johnston County?

James Woodall: Moved back here, 2002, 2003.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay.

James Woodall: And attempted the same thing, but I was going from Youngsville to Smithville to Garner Benson back to Clayton, north Raleigh. I mean, it was just all over the place. So I ended up preying on it. And at the time I was living out at our family farmhouse off of Lynch Road.

And I found an open space over by the food lion there off of 42 and prayed on it. Everything fell into place. Went to the bank, got the loan. Ks Bank. Ks Bank. That’s awesome. That’s right. Went to Ks Bank,

Jonathan Breeden: local bank.

James Woodall: Local bank, [00:06:00] and ended up getting the loan to start the business and that’s where I started the private studio.

Jonathan Breeden: Alright. So when did you move to the current location on Best Wood Drive?

James Woodall: Best Wood Drive moved there in 2013.

Jonathan Breeden: Alright, cool. And that’s a sort of a big warehouse facility there.

James Woodall: Yes.

Jonathan Breeden: I don’t know how many big, I don’t how many square feet it is, but it’s a pretty good size.

James Woodall: We are renting the entire place now.

Jonathan Breeden: Right? How many square feet is it?

James Woodall: A lot.

Jonathan Breeden: It’s a lot.

James Woodall: It’s a lot. Yeah.

Jonathan Breeden: I got you.

James Woodall: I so my business partner’s great with those kind of numbers.

Jonathan Breeden: Well anyway,

James Woodall: so not me.

Jonathan Breeden: Right. So Best Wood Drive is right at Palatan.

James Woodall: Yes.

Jonathan Breeden: And the Novo Nordisk. The new Novo Nordisk.

James Woodall: Yes.

Jonathan Breeden: It’s right there. So, and best Wood Drive dead ends in the Johnston County Workforce Development Center.

So if you’ve been to the Johnston County Workforce Development Center, you’ve gone by Woodall’s Fitness right there.

James Woodall: You drive right by us to get there.

Jonathan Breeden: You drive, drive right by us to get there.

James Woodall: Yes sir.

Jonathan Breeden: It’s not very far from Glen Laurel or any of the fast growing parts of that side of Clayton, right?

So it is not a [00:07:00] traditional gym, like a Planet Fitness or like you would see it doesn’t have a lot of ellipticals. It doesn’t have the sort of weight machines that you would normally see.

James Woodall: Right.

Jonathan Breeden: And the fit for life and stuff like that. But it’s also not CrossFit. So explain to me what is it that you’re doing there.

James Woodall: Sure. So, what we do is functional fitness training, okay? I teach you how to move basically without pain. Joint pain, muscle pain. And once I have taught you those movement patterns, then I implement different modalities kettlebells, weight training, like dumbbells, our tires, our ropes, you name it. And I do pre and post rehab.

As far as pain management I do fitness training, sport conditioning training, general conditioning. We train [00:08:00] athletic groups. Yeah, we have all the equipment that you need to get in shape, but we are not CrossFit.

Jonathan Breeden: You’re not CrossFit?

James Woodall: No.

Jonathan Breeden: And you’re not traditional. You don’t have treadmills, you don’t have ellipticals you don’t have chest presses?

James Woodall: No.

Jonathan Breeden: Or any of that?

James Woodall: No, no. I don’t.

Jonathan Breeden: So how are you different from CrossFit then? For, for me, I know, I know there’s CrossFit and then I know there’s traditional gym, like where I go to

James Woodall: right

Jonathan Breeden: but how are you different? Where do you fit in? In the fitness world?

James Woodall: We’re confused with them quite a bit because. How we train ’cause we’re in a warehouse.

Jonathan Breeden: Right.

James Woodall: So a lot of my clients like that ’cause it’s rugged. But I gotta tell you, we have more female clients than we do male right now. And that was a shock to me. I thought being in a warehouse that we would det attract more men. We have way more women coming in. The thing that separates us is we are not a membership driven place.

Jonathan Breeden: [00:09:00] Okay?

James Woodall: You pay for the service, so you’re paying for the personal training, small group training classes, or any of our specialty programs, or we can wrap that all into one, right? So it, it can just be one payment. It is up to us to earn your business every time you come in. I don’t expect people just to show up just ’cause my doors are open.

I have to earn the business. I have to show them that I am worth that Woodalls is worth the money that they’re investing. And it is. I have clients that have been with me since I’ve started.

Jonathan Breeden: Well, that’s wild. That’s wild. The other thing you do that is not sort of traditional is you have like boxing classes for women.

James Woodall: Yeah.

Jonathan Breeden: And you have 20 or 30 women boxing in the middle of this warehouse.

James Woodall: Yeah.

Jonathan Breeden: How did that come to be?

James Woodall: So back to Vegas, Dana White, who is the president of the UFC, [00:10:00] he and I were trainers together.

Jonathan Breeden: Oh man.

James Woodall: In North Las Vegas at 24 Hour Fitness, and he ran a boxing class. And so I attended the boxing class. And then he ended up getting hooked up with the Fertitta brothers and they own all of the station casinos around Las Vegas, Palace Station, Red Rock Casino, that sort of thing. So they all owned the local casinos and he had convinced them to invest into the UFC. So in the bottom of the Gordon Biersch building in Las Vegas.

I hired Dana and his staff when I was 30 to teach me boxing ’cause at the time, Tae Bow was really big. Billy Blanks was really big, and I was doing the traveling training and I needed to add more to my repertoire. And so that’s where that came in. So I went to the gym and Tito [00:11:00] Ortiz, Jens Pulver, Chuck Liddell, like.

Jonathan Breeden: Oh my goodness.

James Woodall: They’re there. And they’re training and I’m like, not an MMA fighter, right. I’m there just ’cause they let me hire them for my 30th birthday as a gift to myself, and I paid them for three days a week. Did it for six weeks. I said, train me like a boxer. And they did.

Jonathan Breeden: Oh man, that is a crazy story.

James Woodall: Yeah.

Jonathan Breeden: I mean, these people are all legendary now.

James Woodall: Yes, yes.

Jonathan Breeden: Back then they’re probably just trying to get started.

James Woodall: Yes.

Jonathan Breeden: You know?

James Woodall: Yes.

Jonathan Breeden: I mean, oh man. I mean, you’re talking, you, you still know Dana White.

James Woodall: I still have the number to the gym.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay.

James Woodall: And I do reach out and I have not heard back.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay.

James Woodall: Dana, if you’re watching, it’s James, gimme a call.

Jonathan Breeden: That’s wild.

That’s wild. Yeah. So, yeah, that’s, that’s great. That’s great.

James Woodall: So I use all of that technique and those boxing lessons. For the training.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay.

James Woodall: Like I don’t teach people how to fight. It’s all the fitness end of it.

Jonathan Breeden: [00:12:00] Right.

James Woodall: Right. I will training you how to be in condition like a fighter.

Jonathan Breeden: Right. So how did you end up with all these women in boxing classes? Is that for self-defense or is that part of their fitness journey?

James Woodall: They gotta get out the frustration.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay.

James Woodall: They come in ready, I mean, they’re with the kids all day or you know, they got the nagging husbands at home or whatever, so they gotta come in and hit something and don’t hit me, let’s hit the bag. Right?

Jonathan Breeden: Or hit people holding the pads on their hands.

James Woodall: I teach ’em how to use the pads and the bag and yeah.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay.

James Woodall: Absolutely.

Jonathan Breeden: What are some of the other unique type classes that your gym has that you don’t see at maybe other gyms? I thought the boxing one for women was great. What are some other ones?

James Woodall: So we have our bootcamp that we do, and that’s an outdoor bootcamp where we’re flipping tires, tossing logs, picking up stones going over obstacle courses. I mean, it’s like [00:13:00] bootcamp.

Jonathan Breeden: Right, right.

James Woodall: And that’s usually on Saturdays from 9-10. And then all of our classes are Monday through Thursday from 6-6:30. And then we have Friday morning, 6:30 AM called Wake Up Clayton.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay.

James Woodall: And all of the classes are different like every Monday is gonna be a different class every Tuesday is gonna be a different class. So the clients never know what they’re doing when they come in, but they like that ’cause it keeps it fresh.

Jonathan Breeden: Oh, okay.

James Woodall: Right. It’s not like you’re just doing aerobics on Monday, strength on Tuesday, Abs on Wednesday, legs on Thursday. We mix it all up all the time.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay. Yeah. I see. Sometimes they also do the footwork where they’re jumping over small obstacles like you would see

James Woodall: mm-hmm.

Jonathan Breeden: Athletes,

James Woodall: mm-hmm.

Jonathan Breeden: Like shuffle, shuffle, run type stuff. You see football players.

James Woodall: Yeah.

Jonathan Breeden: We use ladders. You do some of ladders.

James Woodall: Yes, sir.

Jonathan Breeden: So what is that, what are you working on when you see people doing that?

James Woodall: [00:14:00] Just agility training, nervous system training. So I train from the nervous system forward, and what that means is I teach you how to use your body to its fullest potential without having to look at it in a mirror.

Does that make sense? So most gyms, they have a mirror and you get to, you know, watch yourself.

Jonathan Breeden: Yeah.

James Woodall: Do all your stuff, right. We have no mirrors, zero, none of that. We have only like two clocks in the gym. Okay. ’cause I don’t like people looking at the time. Okay? I want ’em to be there immersed in themselves.

So training from the nervous system forward is teaching the body, teaching the clients to use their body in the most appropriate way to get the muscles to fire in their proper sequence. A lot of people, their abs are turned off and they have a hard time doing the sit up, or when they do a squat. Their knees hurt or their back hurts.

Well, I teach them how to use the [00:15:00] quadriceps, hamstrings, your glutes, how to use your body in a way where it’s pain-free.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay?

James Woodall: Doing a squat shouldn’t hurt. Getting out of a chair should not hurt. Walking down the driveway to pick up the newspaper should not hurt. Okay? Go in and check the mail, get in the groceries, taking kids running around.

None of that should hurt. We have people in our society that are in pain all the time.

Jonathan Breeden: That’s true.

James Woodall: So once I get past teaching you how to use your body without any kind of weights or anything, then I start adding the different modalities. So we’ll use the tires and the Kettlebells Mason Club training, which is really big, the boxing body weight training.

Like I’ll do a whole series just on body weight.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay.

James Woodall: Your body is the gym.

Jonathan Breeden: Oh, okay.

[00:16:00] Visit us at www. breedenfirm. com for practical advice, resources, or to book a consultation. Remember, when life gets messy, you don’t have to face it alone.

Jonathan Breeden: So since your gym is set up through classes, it’s not like open 24/7, go whenever you want, work out individually.

James Woodall: We’re set up for private personal training, which that happens usually mostly in the morning. I usually start about 5:30, and then I go to about 10:30, and then from 11 to 4, I teach at Lifespring Academy.

Head back in the afternoon is when we do all of our programming, our small groups and our classes.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay.

James Woodall: Because that’s when people are getting off of work.

Jonathan Breeden: Right. That makes sense.

James Woodall: Right, between 4 and 8, they’re all getting off of work and as long as you are an active member, you get free childcare with us.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay. Speaking of childcare, you do run summer camps. You run camps when [00:17:00] kids are out at Christmas.

James Woodall: Right.

Jonathan Breeden: What is involved in that?

James Woodall: Right. So anytime Johnston County schools or any of the private schools are out holidays, summer, christmas, you name it, teacher work days we have camp now this started years ago where my business partner Barbie we were like, we need something in the summer to fill, we had like a void, right? Because clients are all going outta town, right? And we love kids. And our kids were younger, like elementary school, and we didn’t wanna send them just to a summer camp that we didn’t know a lot about.

So we created a summer camp.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay.

James Woodall: And our kids grew up in the gym and it just kind of grew each year a little bit, little bit, little bit. And now we have a full summer camp, plus a leadership academy for kids that [00:18:00] have aged out of summer camp.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay. And so what age for summer camp? What age for leadership academy?

James Woodall: So the summer camp is potty trained up till about fourth grade. Then fifth grade till eighth grade is our leadership academy.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay. Right.

James Woodall: And we’re teaching them marketing. We’re teaching them finance, we’re teaching them to budget. Right. We’re teaching ’em about the business. We’re teaching them anatomy and physiology.

We do science with them and we’re teaching ’em how to be a leader. And most of my employees. Come from that leadership academy.

Jonathan Breeden: Okay?

James Woodall: Because they get so immersed in the business and helping us run it that they are offered an internship and once they pass the internship. Then we hired them on as employees.

Jonathan Breeden: Well, that’s great. That’s great. You do a ton in this community. I mean, we could do three podcasts on everything that you [00:19:00] and Barbie do in the community. Let’s talk about a few of the things. One of the things, Clayton Rotary Club.

James Woodall: Yes.

Jonathan Breeden: You’ve been involved in that for a very long time.

James Woodall: Yes, sir.

Jonathan Breeden: What is it, when does it meet?

What are some of the activities they’ve got going on?

James Woodall: So Clayton Rotary, we meet every Thursday at 7:00 AM at Rainbow Lanes.

Jonathan Breeden: Dana Wooten was here and said that, and every time I hear that, I think, man, that’s early.

James Woodall: But we got breakfast’s.

Jonathan Breeden: That’s right.

James Woodall: We got breakfast, come and meet with us.

Jonathan Breeden: 7:00 AM Rainbow Lanes. All right.

James Woodall: Yep. Yes, sir. And I was past president of the club. Enjoyed it, loved being president. A lot of work. It was like a whole second job, but everyone there contributes something to the community and everyone there is a business leader or a business owner or a part of the town council.

So we have a lot of leaders in the Rotary.

Jonathan Breeden: Right. Well, what are some of the projects that you know are gonna be coming up later on in 2026 that they’re doing? They usually [00:20:00] do the Clayton Christmas parade. You know, by the time this airs, that’ll be over, but, but they’ve been doing the Christmas parade for the last few years.

James Woodall: Yep.

Jonathan Breeden: They took that over from the chamber. I was on the Chamber Christmas Parade Committees when the Chamber was doing it. And you know, I was happy when Rotary came because the Chamber Committee didn’t have enough people to actually do it. So I was glad when Rotary took it over, probably maybe 10 or 11 years ago.

But What are some of the other projects y’all do each year?

James Woodall: Yep, we do the Christmas Parade and we have the Martin Luther King food packaging event. That now has gotten so big. We have teamed up with Clayton High School and we do it in the gym.

Jonathan Breeden: Oh, that’s great.

James Woodall: And we package a lot of food for those that are in need.

Jonathan Breeden: Well, that’s great. What other projects has Clayton Rotary Club got going on?

James Woodall: We have RYLA, which is Rotary Youth Leadership Academy. And that all of the high school kids that are part of Interact which is one of the clubs at the [00:21:00] high school level, which is a part of Rotary get involved in RYLA, which is a youth leadership camp.

Jonathan Breeden: Oh, that’s awesome.

James Woodall: That happens. And so we’re heavily involved in that. You do

Jonathan Breeden: something with these flags, right? The flag,

James Woodall: the flags. Yeah. Flags for heroes. Yes.

Jonathan Breeden: Flags for heroes.

James Woodall: That’s Clayton Rotary. So if you’ve driven down 42 or Veterans Parkway now and you’re over there by the hospital, which we coordinate with them, we partner with them.

That’s their land over there. And and they’ve been gracious enough to allow us to use that for the flags to honor our heroes.

Jonathan Breeden: Right? And the flags are. Memorial Day, July 4th. When do they do the flags?

James Woodall: We do July 4th, we do Memorial Day, we do Veterans Day. But July 4th, our big,

Jonathan Breeden: that’s when they do hundreds of flags out

James Woodall: there,

Jonathan Breeden: right?

Yep.

James Woodall: Yeah. And each flag represents a hero and most people think, okay, military, police, fire department, all fantastic, right? My family’s veterans. I was on the fire department, [00:22:00] but it could be anyone that’s a hero to you. It could be the garbage man. It could be a nurse. It could be a teacher, right. It could be an aunt or an uncle, grandma, grandpa.

Anyone that is a hero to you and you can honor them by

Jonathan Breeden: well, and I learned last year, I’d been sponsored it for a few years and I learned that it’s actually for people that are alive. I really thought they were only honor people that were dead.

James Woodall: No,

Jonathan Breeden: but, but I would say I was like, honor whoever you want.

James Woodall: Yes.

Jonathan Breeden: And I got it back and it was like. People that were alive, that were MS workers.

James Woodall: Yes.

Jonathan Breeden: And I would thought, well man, that’s really good. Yes. So it really is. It’s, it’s not just people who were dead and it’s people that are alive. And it can be, it could be anybody. And, and I, and I learned that this past year, even though I probably have been sponsoring it since they started it, and I thought the entire time they were only a hundred people that were dead.

James Woodall: No, no. Nope.

Jonathan Breeden: So Well, that’s great. What are some of the other things you do? I mean, it’s you know, we’ll do one more thing and then we’ll have to go. But I mean, you do do so much in this community. What’s [00:23:00] your favorite thing to do?

James Woodall: My favorite thing to do is at the end of the year, we do what’s called Backpack Buddies.

Jonathan Breeden: Yeah.

James Woodall: And the gym we, our clients, which their hearts are just amazing. So they will bring in food and then I will take the food over to a school that has a lot of kids in need. Now, Backpack Buddies. For those that don’t know it is when kids only eat while they’re at school, they don’t have enough food at home for whatever reason.

And so, every Friday they get a backpack that has food in it. So no one knows on the school bus, no one knows that they have this food in the backpack and every Monday they bring the backpack back. Well, I like to fill the cupboard for the holidays, right? Because if they’re out over Thanksgiving or Christmas break, they’re not eating.

Jonathan Breeden: Right. They gotta get an extra big backpack.

James Woodall: I mean, think about it. Have you ever taken a test [00:24:00] or tried to study and your stomach’s growling, right?

Jonathan Breeden: Right.

James Woodall: So. That’s my favorite thing to do.

Jonathan Breeden: Yeah. That’s awesome. That’s awesome. And if you want to go back, if you listen to this podcast, one of the very first guests on the podcast was the Cleveland area Backpack Buddies going all the way back to probably episode 5 or 6.

We’re well over a hundred episodes now. And we went through it and they do a big, gala fundraiser around Valentine’s Day every year. Garner Rotary Club is really involved with Backpack Buddies in the Garner area as well. The Cleveland area Backpack Buddies is still going on.

There’s just a Backpack Buddies in most of the communities in Johnston County now.

James Woodall: Yeah.

Jonathan Breeden: So if you just Google your town and backpack buddies, if you want to get involved, they need, they need donations, they need people to help pack the backpacks. They need people to help deliver the backpacks. But it is a really, really good cause.

And the food they’re putting in there are. Are things are non-perishable and things that kids can easily fix themselves because they’re often gonna have to fix it.

James Woodall: Yes.

Jonathan Breeden: [00:25:00] Themselves. And, you know, the, the societal reasons for that, that’s a whole nother day. But yes, the main thing is it makes sure these kids have something healthy that they can fix themselves so that they do eat between school when they come back.

James Woodall: Yeah.
