Get Certified by Josh Through ISSA

The bodybuilder sculpts his body with Michelangelo-like precision striving for the timeless physique that gracefully balances muscle mass, symmetry and minimal body fat.  Every muscle is detailed and harmoniously flows into the next. 

In my transition from an overweight powerlifter, I used bodybuilding principles, under the tutelage of Metroflex founder, Brian Dobson, while training at the number one bodybuilding gym in the world. Since then, I have fine-tuned my own system and coached top-level IFBB pro bodybuilders like Branch Warren, Johnnie Jackson and Corey Mathews. These principles have also worked with elite bikini competitors. 

I constantly get asked about what goes on in my head. What type of training system do I use? 

I have partnered with ISSA to bring you the most comprehensive bodybuilding certification course ever produced. No secrets are held back.

Bodybuilding, done correctly, has obvious aesthetic benefits but has a host of health benefits ranging from decreasing coronary heart disease to helping the elderly combat osteoporosis.  

The cutting-edge techniques in my bodybuilding course go far beyond the realm of theory and have been used by top professional bodybuilders, those striving to be #ChipendalesReady and “Mrs. Jones”.

Building your best physique will not only improve your self-confidence and inspire others but, as a personal trainer, you will have one up on the competition by looking the part.
