While studying at the University of Maryland, Jim joined the exhibitional gymnastics group, Gymkana, which performs both traditional and non-traditional gymnastics for local area schools with the message of drug-free, healthy living. He has since focused that love of gymnastics into a personal Web site dealing with bodyweight strength - www.BeastSkills.com. The site has been very well received by the strength community and logs tens of thousands of visitors each month from around the world.

As a trainer, Jim has been featured in the Washington Express for his bi-weekly strength training class. He has also won the Grand Prize in Men's Health Magazine "How Fit Are You?" contest not once, but twice in a row. He also managed to complete a long-standing Crossfit Challenge of 15 consecutive handstand pushups on a set of gymnastics rings (video here). He has been interviewed several times, including one that appears in the "Handbalancing Mastery Course" which is sold at the Lost Art of Handbalancing.
Jim is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). The CSCS certification is one of the most respected in the industry.]]> http://c0179261.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/474557_gkGGDVBIEjlU9As17Cgy_m.jpg http://www.sicfit.com/rss/speaker/6770-Jim-Bathurst en-us Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:24:57 GMT Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:24:57 GMT http://www.sicfit.com/speaker/6770-Jim-Bathurst/video/454373-DCs-Most-Primal-2011-Preview Wed, 09 Feb 2011 09:28:34 CST http://www.sicfit.com/speaker/6770-Jim-Bathurst/video/454373-DCs-Most-Primal-2011-Preview http://www.sicfit.com/speaker/6770-Jim-Bathurst/video/348524-Beast-Skills-Seminar-Miami-FL-2010 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 07:25:00 CDT http://www.sicfit.com/speaker/6770-Jim-Bathurst/video/348524-Beast-Skills-Seminar-Miami-FL-2010 http://www.sicfit.com/speaker/6770-Jim-Bathurst/video/316969-Beast-Skills-15-Ring-Handstand-Push-Ups Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:15:28 CST http://www.sicfit.com/speaker/6770-Jim-Bathurst/video/316969-Beast-Skills-15-Ring-Handstand-Push-Ups http://www.sicfit.com/speaker/6770-Jim-Bathurst/video/312879-DCs-Most-Primal-Competition-SandbagParkour-Race Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:19:44 CST http://www.sicfit.com/speaker/6770-Jim-Bathurst/video/312879-DCs-Most-Primal-Competition-SandbagParkour-Race http://www.sicfit.com/speaker/6770-Jim-Bathurst/video/312877-DCs-Most-Primal-Competition-Continental-and-Jerk Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:17:36 CST http://www.sicfit.com/speaker/6770-Jim-Bathurst/video/312877-DCs-Most-Primal-Competition-Continental-and-Jerk
