Josh Courage

I have been coaching for over 16 years and it all started when I began finding ways to improve my baseball game. As a division 1 baseball player, I was always researching training methods and how the body worked. And when I found a way that worked for me, and ultimately helped me sign a professional contract (played 3 years of independent minor league ball), I found a connection to training and helping others become fitter. After baseball I took on many athletic ventures, from competitive CrossFit, to marathoning, to triathlon, jiu-jitsu, spartan races, and more. This passion for always exploring my own physical and mental limits, along with wanting to help others find and improve their health and fitness, is what has grown this business into the success that it is. I have countless certifications and even more hands on experiences that have, and continue to build my knowledge base and have secured myself as a top fitness professional for anyone serious about their overall health.
