My name is Josh and I’m 35 years young 😉 I’ve been weight lifting for over 20 years and have gone through quite the fitness/life journey. In short, I was skinny growing up and was made fun of, but then grew into a man that no one would ever make fun of now. I now help others gain that same POWER with their body and mind. I’ve been sponsored, on a magazine cover, and have been in incredible shape that most won’t ever achieve….but then I lost it all. I was in a car accident that completely flipped my life upside down. I fractured my L5 in multiple places, severe lateral recess narrowing with likely impingement of my L5 nerve root, left sub particular disc extrusion, and a 7mm hole causing havoc on my nerves to name the main issues. I couldn’t walk for 2 months, had to learn had to walk with my left leg again, and then crutch everywhere for 6-7 more months. I lost myself for awhile during that time but all those challenges help me be a better man, coach, and father today. That accident was over 4 years ago and I would never change a thing. I can’t back squat or deadlift ever again, or lift as heavy as I want, but I’m alive and able to walk again and do what I love. Training others helps me get a piece of that life back by seeing others achieve things daily, weekly, and yearly that they never thought they could. Fitness is a platform you can use to reach people who may need that added strength outside the gym. Happy to help others make GAINZ in body and mind!
