The Pursuit of Happiness It is my pleasure and privilege to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of Mr. Josh Garcia. I have been Mr. Garcia's client for over 2 years. Prior to working with Mr. Garcia, I had been searching for an expert who held comprehensive perspective on a person's well-being; physical, nutritional, mental, and emotional. Mr. Garcia conducted a thorough assessment to gauge my current state of being from all aspects mentioned above. Once he completed his analysis, Mr. Garcia designed a program that addressed all areas of my life that were misaligned and ineffective. We began with changing my eating schedule and habit. Mr. Garcia strategically designed a meal plan, schedule and portions that were appropriate for my age and physical state. All the meals and snacks were prepared by Mr. Garcia with his own recipes he has perfected over the years. The meal program alone allowed me to shed over 10 pounds of fat within the first month. The exercise plan and schedule accommodated my injuries, age, lifestyle, and work schedule. Mr. Garcia also focused on exercise routines that would motivate me the highest enabling me to physically enhance my well-being while also relieving my mental and emotional stress. The workout schedule also accommodated my busy schedule, ensuring that every minute I spent in the gym was at the highest level of efficiency and effectiveness. Overall, working with Mr. Garcia was similar to interacting with an old friend, someone who genuinely cares about your WHOLE being. Mr. Garcia does not treat his clients as a customer but a confidant. He genuinely believes that his success is an outcome of his clients' success. His humble and caring nature is not only unique in his industry but unique in business world today. It has truly been a blessing to have Mr. Josh Garcia in my life helping me manage my well-being in all aspects.

When I was first looking for a trainer for my son, I had no idea we would be so fortunate to find a great resource, and genuine gift of a person, who cares and trains with such a sophisticated knowledge base. Josh's approach to the training is holistic. He takes into account my son's physical needs and goals, along with incorporating his personality and all the other aspects that make the training effective for him. Josh emphasizes the need and the benefit of nutrition and daily exercise, and provides the motivation to follow his advice in those areas, as well as general motivation. Josh provides training with excitement, genuine enthusiasm, and general interest in my son and all he does - these are just some of the many benefits that he has enjoyed. Josh communicates well with my son, and continues to bring out his best efforts during the training sessions, which has also globally affected him to give better efforts in other areas of his life. As a parent, I'm often concerned about the influences my son encounters in school. I can see that Josh presents a guiding hand/great influence for my son because of his commitment to his profession and his clients in all that they do. I work in the health care field myself, and I appreciative Josh's personal drive to learn and continually increase his excellent knowledge base for the benefit of the client. It means so much to me as a parent to be able to give my son time with Josh, and to know that he is getting the best training he can for his needs, and global mentoring/motivation about life choices. Josh has inspired my child during these sessions. My son continues to make gains in his physical strength, flexibility, and overall stamina, and has experienced positive effects in other areas of his life. My son looks forward to the sessions with Josh - it is the best 2 hours of his week! read more

Transformation "When I met Josh, the only thing I had in mind was to get back in shape and help ease lower back pain due to scoliosis. The results, dedication and inspiration Josh provided were nothing less than exceptional. Josh genuinely cares about my progress. It started with an honest evaluation of my goals, aptitude and physical state. Together, we set goals for fitness, nutrition and personal goals and he made them fun and realistic without making them feel like a chore. At the end of week 12, I was truly amazed with the results! So much so, that I continue to train with Josh 3 times per week, and what amazes me, is that he is constantly evolving and improving his craft. There is never a dull or repetitive session with him. Not only am I in the best shape of my life, I also feel great both physically and mentally and no longer have lower back pain. My self-esteem has soared, my productivity and mental focus have been vastly improved and, for the first time in my life, I'm not self-conscious in a bikini. Josh's commitment to my success and his coaching has transformed my attitude towards fitness and personal growth to a way of life, not just a 12 week achievement. I can honestly say he has changed my life. If you are looking for an amazing personal fitness and performance coach, not just another personal trainer, I highly recommend seeing Josh.

For the Youth For approximately seven months Josh has been working with my son as a personal trainer. It has been a great experience for me, as well as my son. My son's physical performance has improved substantially and he enjoys the work out sessions with Josh. From my perspective Josh has always put the client's wishes first and he has geared the workouts towards achieving the client's desires, while achieving optimum physical health. Josh has made it a point to communicate with me regarding the status of my son's health and the objectives and direction of the workout sessions. In addition, Josh has made it very clear to my son that diet is a vital component of physical health. This is fantastic from my perspective. It not only is true but is coming from someone other than me! I feel Josh possesses excellent skills and a fantastic personality that allows him to communicate well and build relationships with everyone he interacts with. He gets results!

I met Josh in his role as a personal trainer for Foothills Park & recreation District. His passion and excitement for working with people to improve their fitness is contagious. He conducted a fitness assessment and made recommendations for me to improve my health. One suggestion was to focus on some training that would give me a quick turnaround on improving my strength, flexibility and stamina. I scheduled some personal training sessions with Josh and within a very short period of time he had me doing things that I hadn't done in years. I saw quick improvements and actually had a little fun in the process. Our weekly sessions were hard but they were never boring. Each week he had me progressing to more challenging exercises and he even made them fun. I am now working out regularly on my own and continue to do some of the exercise that Josh taught me. I would highly recommend Josh for anyone looking to improve their overall fitness level. Results: *Positive lifestyle implementations toward health and fitness *Loss of 25 lbs of fat mass *Spark to get after fitness goal again ... priceless read more

Muscle Bound I have never had a personal trainer nor was I fond of the idea of having a personal trainer. For a while now, I have done my own research on working out and getting stronger. After a couple months, I have become bored with my own workouts even when I change things up, it still feels less challenging. In comes Josh. I've been working with Josh for a couple months now. Josh is amazing and focuses on high quality instruction that emphasizes functional fitness. I highly recommend Josh as a personal trainer for anyone. I see him with other clients as well and you can tell he's not the ordinary personal trainer that you may get at 24hr hour fitness. Josh truly cares about your success and as long as you put in the effort, you will achieve your goals together. Josh provides great workouts, he's friendly, very energetic, and really encourages you! Takes time out of the sessions to get to know you as well!
