I’m Coach Josh
I’ve been helping people for 20 years to discover their durability, both physically and mentally. What began as a hobby on my front porch became an extra duty in the United States Army, where I had the privilege of helping soldiers meet the Army standard. My mission continues to help people learn how to build impactful habits and nurture the character traits that make it easy to build muscle, burn fat and consistently feel good.
I’m a strength coach who supports you in the sculpting of your body and your mind.
Think: Sergeant Bilko + Ted Lasso + Ryan Reynolds
I work with people who have had struggles and setbacks yet are unwilling to be defined by them; people who know they can be kickass if they can just get their mindset right.
I will help you learn how to identify your strengths and deploy them to work for you instead of against you.

Pillars of the GritFit approach
With thousands of diet and training methods to choose from, let's take fewer and more potent steps to achieve our goals.
Focus
It starts here.
When you learn how and what to focus on, the picture of health you have imagined can begin to take shape.
Clarity
With focus comes clarity.
When you are clear, you can make better decisions more easily. Distractions and temptations don’t hold the same sway.
Power
Clarity leads to power.
When you are grounded in your own power, you become unshakeable. You have more strength and energy to accomplish more, enjoy the fruits of your labors and share your energy with others.

There is no perfect body,
no perfect program,
and no perfect diet.
We will pursue perfection knowing full well that we will fall short yet still achieve excellence.
~ Vince Lombardi, famed football coach
