I was underweight for my age growing up. By junior year in high school, I began my interest with fitness. I started my journey at a local gym making changes to my physique while learning the power of food and exercise. Through trial and error and many master coaches later, I found myself inspired to compete in the sport of bodybuilding. I was in the sport of competitive bodybuilding for 10 years, mastering the craft of gaining muscle and losing fat in the fastest way possible. The strength of my mind became stronger through such a disciplined lifestyle. With this passion I entered the career of personal training. Working 10+ years and eventually ranking 1 in the nation at Golds Gym. With the reputation I built, I’ve had the privilege of working with celebrities, CEO’s, founders, athletes, artists, marines, influencers, models, managers and hundreds of people all ages. Fast forward, I’ve built amazing relationships, transformations and am now the owner of this beautiful Costa Mesa facility in what we call Self Made. My goal is to make fitness fun and enjoyable while retaining the goal of what YOU want. I believe fitness is a beautiful thing and necessity in our health. My goal is to want you to look amazing, but also FEEL AMAZING Starting a journey especially in our fitness can be intimidating but I promise you, if you’re hungry and willing to do the work, you will get what you want. Rest assured, I have gone through everything myself first before instructing my athletes to do so. Some highlights of my career achievements include: -Reversing diabetes -Promoting positive mental stability -Reversing alcohol addiction -100+ physical transformations -17,000+ sessions serviced

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!
