I first met Josh when I hired him to train my teenage son and his buddy. The boys were several months out from entering their freshman football weight training and fall season, and I wanted them to know how to safely lift and train so that they wouldn’t injure themselves in the chaotic world of high school weight training. I went into it thinking Josh would simply meet with the boys a few times to show them how to use the weight room equipment, and maybe give them a list of lifts and reps to do. Instead, Josh insisted on meeting face-to-face with me and the boys up front, and I was blown away by his knowledge base and plan of attack for the boys.
He laid out a 12 week program that would not only prepare the boys, but also correct any imbalances in posture and various other components that Josh specializes in. The boys worked very hard with Josh, and came home tired and sore. But they always looked forward to going back, and always enjoyed their time with him. He also motivated them to do all of the independent work he assigned to them between sessions – the boys felt accountable to him and did their assignments without any complaining or excuses. Josh checked in with me weekly over the phone to let me know how they were progressing, and showed a genuine interest in the boys and our whole family.
After just a few weeks, the boys were enjoying changes in their bodies and would often proudly show me their new muscles. Their conversations began to center around their nutrition, meal planning, and the technical terms and techniques they were learning from Josh. At the end of their time with Josh, he was able to confidently hand them over to the high school program. The boys knew how to do all of the lifts correctly, and were even able to help their teammates with technique. Through the summer, they enjoyed showing off their hard work as they strutted around the neighborhood pool, but the real payoff came once the football season started.
They both earned starting positions, and were recognized for their athletic ability and success in the weight room. The thing that I was the most pleased with was that this was my son’s first injury-free football season. He took bigger and harder hits than he’d ever seen in his little league career, but he was shaking them off. He looked stable and strong on the field, and even delivered a few punishing blows himself. Josh got to see it as well. He came to their games and has kept in touch with the boys. He continues to work with my son as needed, and will soon begin a new program with him to help him reach his next set of goals.
There are a lot of intimidating choices that young athletes (and their parents) face in the quest to get bigger, stronger, and faster, and I keep in close contact with Josh to run them by him; because after the quick and impressive results he accomplished with the boys, I value his input above most all others. And when he gives me his input, he always offers it with a scientific or medical-based explanation, and his sincerest concern. Josh has become an integral part of our athlete’s ongoing success, and a treasured family friend.

I recently chose to hire Josh to work with my 11-year-old son. He has a variety of neurological issues (Anxiety, ADHD Inattentive Type, Sensory Integration, Convergence Insufficiency, and Slow Processing) and has recently finished an intensive brain therapy program. At the conclusion of his therapy program, it was recommended that he maintain his progress by participating in cross-lateral exercises and activities on a regular basis. While the program dramatically improved my son’s movement, posture, and athleticism, he still has more ground to cover in these areas. Even before we completed the program, I knew that I’d be reaching out to Josh for post-therapy support. I was already familiar with Josh’s approach to health and fitness because he had worked with my older son in the past, and had led him to great success in his goals. I knew that Josh’s program was very progressive, medically-based, and quick and effective. As the brain therapy advisers described the support they wanted my son to have following his therapy program, I knew that Josh could provide it. I had heard him describe to me in detail the same things the brain therapists where seeking.
We are now a few weeks into my son’s program with Josh, and we’re already seeing results. My son has reported being able to run faster than he ever has in the past, and that his ongoing hip pain is becoming less frequent. He loves “training” with Josh, and Josh seems to enjoy the sessions just as much. He always has a ton of input to offer me about how my son is doing, where he’s making progress, and where he’s struggling. And he makes frequent adjustments to my son’s program to meet his needs, yet always keeps it fun. My son has said that he loves working one-on-one with a trainer because there’re no other kids to compare himself to, and that Josh makes him feel like he’s amazing at whatever he’s doing. That’s a pretty big deal to a kid who’s always felt a few steps behind the other kids. But as a parent, it’s a pretty big deal to find someone you can entrust your child to, and know that they will find success and confidence.
