James commented on his Ambassador role...
'Being fit is essential for a professional athlete, but I believe that doing more exercise is important for everyone, to help them feel better and ultimately lead a healthier and longer life. Whether it’s in the comfort of your home or in the gym, there’s a piece of exercise equipment that will suit just about everyone – so there’s no excuses! I’m looking forward to working with Team Johnson to lead the charge in creating a fitter Britain as we embark on one of the UK’s most significant years for sport in 2012.'
Jon Johnston, MD of Johnson Health Tech UK added “James is a fantastic personality to have behind the initiative. His achievements as a professional athlete and the challenges he has faced since, make him the perfect ambassador for our brands, and I am certain that together we can inspire more people to adopt an active lifestyle.”
