About James Kennedy

Training built on clinical depth and real-world experience

With 15+ years in athletic coaching, clinical fitness, and personal training, I bring a performance and clinical lens to every session. Whether you're recovering from surgery, living with a developmental disability, or simply looking to move and feel better — my approach is rooted in evidence, adapted entirely to you.

Based in San Diego, I work with clients in their homes, parks, and community spaces — removing the barriers that make traditional gym settings inaccessible for so many.

Regional Center & Funding

Adaptive fitness shouldn't be limited by what you can afford

KinetiqAF works with the Self-Determination Program and FMS providers to make services accessible for families who qualify.

🏛️
Self-Determination Program (SDP)
SDP clients can hire KinetiqAF directly through their Financial Management Service provider. You choose your trainer, we coordinate billing through your FMS — no out-of-pocket cost for covered services.
💳
Private Pay Options
For clients without regional center funding, flexible private pay options are available — single sessions, multi-session packages, and monthly programs. Rates are discussed during your free consultation.
📍
In-Home & Community Delivery
All adaptive sessions are delivered at your home, backyard, local park, or community facility. No transportation barriers, no gym access required — I come to you.
💡
Not sure if your family member qualifies for SDP? I can walk you through the process. SDP allows Regional Center clients to self-direct their services — including adaptive fitness — by hiring providers of their choice through an FMS. Get in touch and I'll help figure out the right path.
