Background: I became a PT after seeing how a PT changed my life. Now I help others gain the life they want through training and nutrition. I take pride in making a lasting impact on my clients’ lives. For new personal trainers looking to enter the industry, there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing your clients succeed and knowing that you’ve played a pivotal role in their journey. It’s a career where you’re constantly learning, growing, and positively influencing others—and there’s no greater satisfaction than that.
Opportunities: I am happy to include you in my group fitness sessions, letting you observe some of my PT Sessions and always up for a coffee and catch up if time permits.
Requirements: Students are expected to maintain professionalism, punctuality, and a positive attitude during practice sessions. Students need to make sure they are well prepared for the sessions, having watched the demonstration videos, prepared the paperwork and have your practice clients organised.

About Josh: I am not your cookie cutter PT, I have walked along the same road, I have fought the challenges and learnt how to change habits to turn my life around. After years of obesity from my school years I was always the short “fat” kid, this was a torment that was used throughout my school years. In my early 20’s I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. This meant changes had to be made. They were not enough. I reached my peak weight of 155kg and I wasn’t healthy or happy. This all came to a head in 2016 when I almost died on Christmas Eve from a perfect storm of heat stress, dehydration and diabetes. I was admitted to hospital where I was told, that if I hadn’t been woken up by a relative at that time, it would have only taken a couple more minutes and that would have been it. I wouldn’t have woken up.
