Testimonials

I wanted to take some time to express my gratitude for the effective training Mack received from you last summer. I witnessed him make tremendous gains in strength, size and speed as well as increase his level of confidence in the weight room and on the field. I know Mack's entire attitude about training improved as he looked forward to the intense training along with the competitive format of the strongman training, even when he knew his physical and mental limits would be tested. I literally watched him morph from an above average high school lineman to a promising and sure to be college starter. Mack enjoyed a successful Freshman year in college as a red shirt, competing successfully with the upperclassmen and a big part of that is due to you. Your experience, industry knowledge, challenging motivation, detail to technique, enthusiasm and personalized coaching all contributed to a great summer of training and a head start over the other players on the team. He has already informed me that he plans to train with you this summer and I am excited about that. The fact that he is willing to subject himself to a mentor who will test his every fiber is encouraging to me and a sign of great maturity. I have read through your training material and philosophy as well as watched the progress you made with Mack and as a former NFL player and having been trained by some of the best, I am convinced you are the real deal! I would (and have) recommend you to any aspiring athlete and their parent.
Thank you!

Josh really helped me accomplish my#1 goal which was to play college football. Going into my senior year the only snaps I had taken were trash time, my dream was not looking too good. Due to Josh's help I was able to start and do well my senior year first off. I never dreamed I would ever be on a team like Oklahoma, but with Josh's training he made my ultimate dream come true. I was long and lanky before I began training with Josh. I was about 6'4" and weighing under 200 pounds. As time progressed my body began to fill out. I had never got the quality of training that I received from Josh. I know that without the personal training from Josh I would not be living the dream that I am today. From the very beginning Josh was always encouraging and positive. Going into college I was close to 6'5" and weighing 225 pounds. All of these gains were from Josh's strength program. On top of being a superb strength coach, he was very personable and enjoyed building a relationship with everyone he trained. I strongly encourage Josh Bryant to anyone who is looking to train for sports or just to improve there overall physical fitness.

Once again thank you for all that you have done for me and getting me where I am today.

"Hi my name is Orlando Green. I'm a certified personal trainer and I currently do strongman competitions. After following Josh Bryant's deadlift program for 12 weeks my best deadlift increased from 775 to 815 at a bodyweight of 223. After completing his 12 week program I competed in a strongman contest where I placed 3rd. Two weeks later I did my first powerlifting contest where I pulled 815 RAW and established myself on the world stage against some of the best in the world. I hope to continue to set many records with Josh's coaching. I fully endorse the Joshstrength Method!"

"There are very few coaches out there that truly know how to apply all of their book knowledge into real world situations and get results. Josh Bryant is definitely one of those coaches. Josh has real world under the bar experience as well as the academic side to better prepare his athletes and clients for true success. Josh is an up and coming strength coach that we all should be on the lookout for."

"Of all the trainers who have come and gone through the doors of Metroflex gym over the last 23 years no one has had better results than Josh Bryant. If your goal is to increase power, strength ,speed ,muscular endurance and performance if you have the balls to train with this intense genius you will reach your goals . I have seen him make boys into real men time and again. No one I know of anywhere can match his combination of knowledge and strength. He is by far the strongest of the strong in a gym full of strong men. And he is also by far the highest certified trainer in here or anywhere else I have been. He can talk the talk and walk the walk with authority."

"I've been following Josh since first seeing him compete as a teen in the 2001 WPO finals. Over the years I've watched him emerge as one the best lifters in the sport, and now onto one of the best coaches and trainers I know. I would not hesitate recommending him to anyone for their training needs. To be honest I would be VERY comfortable with Josh programming and training my own sons and even myself. Trust me - this means a lot."

"I have been training under the guidance of Josh Bryant since November of 2005. My first training session with Josh I weighed 255lbs and had a raw bench max of 475 lbs. Josh Bryant took me from a gym rat to the world class raw bencher in under two years. I have the APA world record of 600 lb raw bench in the 308 class. I hold the highest raw bench ever in SPF with 615 lbs at 297 lbs of bodyweight."

" In January of 2008 I entered my first NASS strongman contest in Northern Illinois where I scorched the field taking first by a large margin. I am now pursuing my goals as a competitive bodybuilder. For my first contest Josh Bryant took my from a 306 lb injured powerlifter to a 233 lb bodybuilder in less than 6 MONTHS! No matter what your goals are or what level you are at Josh Bryant can take you beyond what you expect. I can truly say I have successfully ran the gamut of strength athletics, thanks entirely to the guidance of Josh Bryant at Joshstrength.com"

"After working with hundreds of exercise physiologists, strength and conditioning coaches and highly-certified personal trainers over the years, I can honestly say that few have ever measured up to Josh Bryant’s exercise ingenuity. He not only understands what it takes to transform a physique, but he’s able to strategically apply that expertise into unique programs that easily work within the lifestyles of his clients—as well as the millions of magazine readers he’s helped me educate along the way."

Josh is not only one of the best personal trainers in the country, but unlike many so called experts, his understanding of fitness comes from both the trenches of training as a world class athlete and the from the knowledge he's gained academically over the years. Great fitness professionals must have both knowledge and skills - Josh has both, and he knows what it takes to achieve any goal.
