I have been training with Josh for almost two years now, and it has been one of the best decisions of my life. Training with him has helped me regain consistency and motivation with exercise, lose weight, get into better shape, and feel healthier overall. His approach to training is truly holistic, thoughtful, and deeply personalized. Josh goes far beyond simply counting reps or following a generic program, he treats you as a whole individual, taking into account your body, goals, limitations, and overall well-being. As a physician, I can confidently say that Josh’s knowledge of the human body and exercise physiology is extremely impressive. His understanding of exercise, physiology, nutrition, and how all of these elements work together is the most comprehensive I have ever seen in a personal trainer. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that training is not only effective, but also safe, sustainable, and aligned with long-term health. On top of all of his knowledge, Josh’s studio is truly impressive. He has every piece of equipment imaginable and everything is kept pristine, highly organized, and meticulously maintained. The environment he has created reflects the same level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail that he brings to his training. I would recommend Josh again and again without hesitation. Training with him has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and anyone would be incredibly lucky to have Josh as their trainer.

Josh leverages his decades of experience to personalize your training to best suit your end goal(s) within realistic and reasonable parameters. He is deliberate in building your workouts to help you push yourself in a safe and manageable fashion. His gym is an extension of his expertise, with a plethora of machines and gear that will fit your workout needs and then some. In training with Josh, you get accountability and consideration on a one on one level which I have not come across elsewhere. Each session is a breath of fresh air, especially considering the many responsibilities and obligations life is constantly bombarding you with. Josh is also understanding of those outside variables, working with you in a communicative manner to fit sessions in your schedule as best possible. You will be hard pressed to find such a well rounded service for training and working out anywhere else.

I first came to Josh while I was undergoing fertility treatments. I wanted to improve my fitness to prepare for pregnancy, and to regain some sense of agency amidst all the things I couldn't control. First I tried an app-based trainer but immediately injured myself, and realized I would need a teacher. I'd always thought personal trainers were for athletes, not shlubs like me, but I didn't know where else to start, so I googled and came across Josh and sent him an email. I have never been athletic at all and was prepared for this to be a shame-filled and discouraging experience. I decided to take a leap and trust Josh, and over the next couple months I was astonished to discover I wasn't half bad at this. I was a total novice, but I was learning quickly and making noticeable progress, and actually enjoying it and feeling proud of myself. It helped me feel like I was accomplishing something that would help my situation, when the rest of my life was on hold, hoping and waiting for baby. Josh is interested in improving your quality of life: physical functioning and well-being vs goals like "get down to a size zero". He recognizes that nobody is going to do something that makes them feel bad. He meets you where you are. He starts every session with questions about how you're doing so he can calibrate how hard to push you that day. On off days he doesn't judge - just explains that if you're making this part of your life, you're going to have off days, and you have to be able to dial it up or down so you can still do something. "More" is better than "some" but "some" is infinitely better than "none". For someone who's struggled with consistency and follow through, this was a helpful and motivating approach. I did get pregnant and trained with Josh through week 37. This helped me have a very healthy pregnancy despite gestational diabetes. And during the birth, I drew on the strength I had built over the last year and a half, physical as well as mental. I knew that I can do harder things than I think. That my body is more capable than I give it credit for. This powered me through the 37 hours it took to get kiddo here.

Josh is a wellness focused trainer who provides 1 on 1 training in his immaculate and very well provisioned gym. He is incredibly thoughtful and tailors his training based on the needs of his clients. I have been training with Josh for over two years. I came to Josh as someone who enjoyed running and cycling but had very limited knowledge of strength training. Josh carefully taught me the fundamentals of strength training and explained how strength training could keep me healthier and directly impact the sports I love doing.

I started training with Josh seven months ago. I am 23 and had one personal trainer three years ago. Before I came to Josh, I had been training in commercial gyms on my own. I was concerned about a previous injury (although I had recovered) and found it difficult to move up in weights. Josh has helped me get significantly more progress in strength training, especially in big movements with proper form. The sessions are 1-on-1s with individualized programming. We usually focus on one body part per session. Josh pays continuous attention to form and techniques and makes sure I fully understand each movement. His gym is clean and well-equipped. It even has tons of specialty equipments that one will never find in other commercial gyms and studios. For example, Josh owns a huge collection of specialty bars for different variations of the big movements. He also has many equipments for stretching and therapy. Josh has decades of experience and knowledge from training with a diverse range of clients in all age groups. In the rest intervals between sets, he always spends time sharing with me his understanding of body-building, therapy, and overall wellness. This is very helpful as it helps me understand how to program consistent training routines and maintain motivation in the long run. Josh trains one person at a time, so you will always be the only client in the gym. Compared to my other personal training experience (a studio shared by group classes and personal trainers), he is way more knowledgable and affords more privacy despite charging a lower price. His place offers extensive choices of equipment along with the benefits of a personal studio. It is great pleasure working with Josh, and I highly recommend him to anyone hoping to progress in their fitness journey.
