Before and After

 

In Matt’s words:

I have absolutely no idea where I would be without Josh’s training. I came to Josh over 80 pounds overweight and with little motivation to do anything about it. Josh was able to push me beyond anything that I thought I was capable of. In the two years that I trained with Josh I was able to lose close to 100 pounds of body fat while gaining 20+ pounds of muscle, completely changing my life. Not only is Josh extremely knowledgeable about fitness as well as nutrition, he is patient, cares deeply about his clients, and will do anything in his power to help you reach your specific goals. The lessons I have learned from Josh are intangible and worth way more than 5 stars on a review. What he has taught me goes beyond just the gym and I would recommend anyone, of any age and experience, to try Josh and I guarantee he will change your life as he did mine.

 

 

In Noah’s words:

No words can express how incredible Josh and his services have been. Three years ago I was overweight, unhappy, eating junk food, not sleeping well, and overall not the man I wanted to be. On the first day Josh made me feel like I could do something about it, a feeling I wasn’t familiar with. He made a set of goals with me and pushed me to meet those goals. I ate healthier and began working out and after three months I had lost 40 lbs, and after six I’d lost 60. Josh isn’t just a personal trainer, he is a guy that will change your life, my teachers and friends immediately noticed a difference in not only my appearance but my actions and moods as well. Josh changed my life and there is no sequence of words I can find to sum up just how incredible his influence in my life has been.
Amazing guy, caring not only about your physical health but the fact that you’re doing ok life-wise also. Family man who is caring and compassionate but knows when to push you to get that last rep.
Amazing service, the workout can’t be beat.
Life changing results, I mean, life changing.

 

In Cecilia’s words:

I have been training with Josh for over 10 years. He’s worked with me when I was my heaviest and most unhealthy and at my fittest and all the stages in between. He’s helped me have great workouts and stay healthy through a shoulder injury, degenerative disc disease, bad knees, bad moods, and stressful times. He never gave up on my me and my fitness goals even when I had given up on myself. If you are thinking about a trainer, contact Joshua Fender. I can’t say enough good things about him.

 

In Fletch’s words:

Due to some health issues, I needed to drop some weight and adopt a healthier lifestyle. I decided to contact Josh as he had trained both of my girls, and I really liked his approach. A few days prior to starting training, I had a cardioversion scheduled to correct a heart arrhythmia. I had been through the procedure many times before, but his time was different. I left the hospital wired to a portable defibrillator vest as I was considered at high risk for sudden cardiac death. That will get your attention. I assumed this meant my training would be delayed, which was disappointing having already made the commitment. To my surprise, Josh was willing to work with my “constraints”, and I started training with him. He was careful to keep my heart rate within the parameters allowed by my cardiologist. A month later, I was able to get rid of the vest. I am now about a year and half in. I have made permanent changes in my eating habits thanks to Josh’s instruction and have lost 30 lbs. I am more fit at 53 than I have ever been, even having been athletic in my youth. What I love most about Josh is that if you have any “aches & pains”, he has techniques to alleviate them, and he knows the science behind what he tells you to do.

 

In Cordell’s words:

I started using Fender’s Fitness Training at the beginning of January, after making the decision to finally try to get in shape. I’ve been overweight since high school, and between work and life in general, hadn’t been taking care of myself. Josh has been amazing for the three months I’ve been training. The first day we met, he sent me information on why he makes his recommendations, and urged me to make specific goals for our training together to watch how things would improve. Since starting training, I’ve already lost 40 pounds, and I feel a lot better physically and mentally. I can see the weight disappearing and I’m more active than I’ve been in a long time. He makes a point of checking in at sessions to help keep me accountable on my food and cardio outside of training, which is the biggest reason I’ve failed in the past. The training itself is difficult but manageable and has scaled as my fitness has improved. The small group setting makes sure Josh is available to help you, without feeling like you’re being scrutinized every second. I’m so excited with the progress I’ve made so far, and I can’t wait to see where I am at in 3 more months.

 

In Ashley’s words:

I have trained with Josh for nearly 3 months and have not only exceeded my initial goals but been thrilled with the experience. I enjoy training hard and he always delivers a challenging workout that keeps my interest. He consistently takes the time to demonstrate the movements and explain the objective. Even with multiple people working out, he never leaves you without a plan or guidance. The accountability Josh provides encompass not just your workouts at the studio, but your diet and cardio as well. Also, the studio is always immaculate! Within 3 months I am significantly stronger, better conditioned, and down 27 pounds. I highly recommend Fender Fitness!

In Andy’s words:

I’ve worked with Josh for over 5 years. He is knowledgeable, professional, and will challenge you relative to your goals and capacity. If you’re serious about your fitness and wellness you’ll find that Josh is a great investment.

 

In John’s words:

I started with Josh because I didn’t want to end up with the same results as before when it came to getting a gym membership. The typical ‘go for a week, and eventually go back to old habits’ routine. Not to mention I haven’t lifted seriously since high school, and I didn’t want to hurt myself. My expectations were met, and exceeded. When I started, I weighed 204 lbs. I went in with the goal to lose 20 lbs, and in 3 months I’m down 27 lbs. He provides a solid workout routine each visit, catered to your needs, as well as a diet plan to stick to. He pushes you to do what you think you might not be able to, while also making sure you are not over doing it. On top of that you will undoubtedly get your weekly ‘dad joke’ in. Overall, this is a gym and trainer I absolutely recommend if you are serious about getting results.

 

In Tim’s words:

I’m 60 years old.
I have been working out with Josh for 4 months.
Thanks to Josh’s knowledge of nutrition and fitness I’ve lost 40 pounds and I’m in the best shape I’ve been in since the 1980s.There may not be a fountain of youth but staying in shape feels like I found it.

 

In Chris’s words:

Josh definitely knows what he is doing. I started seeing results in merely a month. Worth every penny.

 

In Jeff’s words:

I’ve been training with Josh Fender for 4 months now. The results have been life changing! I came to Josh at my highest personal weight with low energy, back pain, high blood pressure and at risk for Diabetes. In only 4 months under Josh’s direction I’m blessed to say that I have now lost 35 pounds! Josh’s workout’s are intense but he motivates you to push to new heights and is truly an accountability partner who invests in you and celebrates in your successes! Josh’s knowledge of both pre and post workout stretching methods to combat injury and soreness have helped me alleviate pain, increase flexibility and to push forward. Josh’s nutrition advice and assistance have been truly invaluable and a catalyst for helping me invoke positive change. If you are currently considering taking the steps to a healthier you and evaluating trainers or programs that can help you achieve your health, fitness, or agility goals then I highly recommend you consult with Josh!

 

In Kimmy’s words:

I’ve been training with Josh for about 4 months now and I feel fantastic! Since I started working out with him, I’ve lost close to 30lbs. Aside from the weight lost, I’m stronger and my outlook on fitness has changed. Josh has taught me that, “Being fit is not a destination. It’s a way of life.”. I used to dread working out and, quite honestly, feel intimidated. Josh was quick to encourage me, teach me to be patient with myself, and celebrate the small victories because in retrospect those small victories add up to big changes. Now, I look forward to working out at the studio and hear Josh’s occasional dad jokes. I’ve received so many compliments and I constantly get asked what my secret is. No secrets. Just hard work and consistency; all with the help of an amazing coach!

 

In Gilbert’s words:

I cannot praise Fenders enough. In just three months I have lost almost 50 pounds. Josh knows his stuff! His workouts are great, he’s incredibly knowledgeable if you have any type of muscle pain, and knows what to do to make it better. Fun place to go, not just a boring gym, we actually laugh quite a bit there. I’ve been to several gyms in the past and have never had results like these.
