Founder / Apex ID Performance
James Jefferson Flores Manipis, MSc
Master's of Science in Sports and Exercise Science
Specializes in fat loss transformation and strength and conditioning.
Peak performance is earned, not inherited.
James built Apex ID Performance around the belief that physical transformation begins with identity. The standards you keep, the habits you repeat, and the work you choose when nobody is watching all shape how you show up.
As a U.S. Army Veteran with a background in Level 2 Close Quarters Combatives, James brings a disciplined, practical perspective to building physical capability and personal standards.
Applies movement, physiology, recovery, and training principles to build smarter programs that support sustainable performance and body-composition goals.
Years spent coaching and training people through real goals, real setbacks, and real life.
Periodized coaching gives clients a measurable route through each training phase, with performance supplements supporting the work. For gym partners, it creates a trusted member experience that supports repeat retail demand and a higher standard on the floor.
The point of view
Training is not just what you do. It is how you learn to keep a promise to yourself.
James's work has always centered on the connection between physical performance and personal standards. From military training environments to coaching everyday people, the lesson stays the same: lasting progress is built through consistency, structure, and the willingness to do the work again tomorrow.
That is the idea behind Apex. It is a performance brand for people who want their habits to match their ambition, and for gym owners who want to create that same standard inside their own communities.
