NASM-certified personal trainer helping people become the best version of themselves. As a kinesiology major, my coaching style is simple: educating my clients on how to safely adopt and sustain a healthy lifestyle based on their personal fitness goals; whether you are trying lose body fat, gain lean muscle mass, or rehabilitate an injury. My successes with my past and current clients lies on my customized programs that are tailored to meet the individualized needs of each client. So what are you waiting for? Let’s get to work.

In high school I started my passion in weight lifting and it eventually evolved into competing in the sport of bodybuilding. I was mentored by many recognized Olympian coaches and started my career as a personal trainer later down the road. I wanted to help people and transfer what I was taught through my battles of gaining muscle, losing fat and creating a powerful mindset to conquer everything above fitness.
My career started at Golds Gym Long Beach and became the number 1 ranked trainer in the nation. Created many transformations with long lasting relationships that I still have to this day.
10 years later I became an independent trainer with a name for myself and am having the privilege of working with celebrity clients. I’m now at a private facility I like to call home, aka Self Made Training Facility of Costa Mesa.

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!

I help individuals who work 40+ hours a week achieve their dream physique, through efficient workouts and nutritional coaching.
