Joshua F.

Hi. My name is Joshua and I am from Phoenix, Arizona. I grew up in a very athletic family. Even as a young child, I was very active in sports. My happy childhood and teenage years were shaped by sports, and I was able to achieve regional success in the area of football also track and field.

Once I had my diploma in hand, I attended Phoenix College and later Western New Mexico studied sports.

After having successfully completed my university studies, I trained a High school football team, but quickly found out that I was not ideally suited for working with a team. I just have a special interest in working directly with people, and want to cater to each individual as much as possible, and that, unfortunately, is not possible as the trainer of a 45-member athletic team.

Back then, I decided on a career as a professional coach in a fitness world. There, it was possible for me to train with smaller groups. I enjoyed that type of work very much and I spent five wonderful years working under a top trainer in Tempe.

For the past 3 years now, I have been working as an independent trainer. I enjoy every minute of it and the freedom of being my own boss. I can already look back to many happy hours during which I was able to help my clients reach the goals they had set for themselves.

I Have been giving Private lessons since i was 18 years old and have been trained by Pro's and some of the best Trainers in Arizona. From playing college ball and trying out with with different Pro teams I've learned alot that i would like to pass on and help someone in need to get to the next level.

What makes my session more intense then any others that i workout with my players and anything i explain i can do myself.

The way I like to workout a new athlete is by working out with him side by side. and recording them and showing them their mistakes and correcting them.
