What separates Josh Bryant from other trainers?
Josh's educational background and the goals he has helped his clients achieve, demonstrate his understanding of exercise science, physiology and nutrition. Many people with education in Exercise Science lack the proverbial 'hands-on' experience and only understand the theory behind it. One important key in Josh's success is his ability to bridge the gap between theory and practical application.
Unlike many trainers, Josh does not have clients perform the same workouts over and over again. Not only will the body adapt quickly and will progress cease, but this will often cause the trainee to become mentally stale. Changing the training protocol keeps things fun and engaging. After all, the fitness journey should be fun and motivating!
As the body changes, so does the exercise program. There is no set prescription of exercises, sets, reps, or rest intervals that we will always repeat. Variety in the training program ensures success and achievement of set goals.
Personal trainers often train their clients the same way they train themselves. Not Josh.
As an expert personal trainer, Josh believes that the ability to motivate, to understand safe progression, and to properly educate clients are some of the key elements that separate elite trainers from the average ones. He also understands that not everyone wants to be a professional athlete, bodybuilder or powerlifter and as such, their regimen should reflect just that.
After seeing his clients' results along with the transformation he made with his own body, it becomes clear that Josh understands how to make the body change. If you are looking to seriously drop pounds, trying to bulk up for high school football, wanting to improve your health or personal appearance, he will design an individualized regimen to help you achieve your goals. Everyone has different needs, body types, fitness levels, goals and available time. This is why the programs designed by Josh are always tailored accordingly, to best meet your needs.
