  • "When I started training with Joseph, I wanted to improve my overall strength and reduce joint pain. His ability to match my communication style made training feel welcoming rather than intimidating. Within a few months, I was stronger than ever and genuinely enjoying the process."

    Martin C.

  • "Joseph has been an incredible addition to my fitness routine. I came to him frustrated after generic programs left me bruised and stagnant. As a 40–50-year-old woman navigating aging and hormonal changes, I needed something personalized. Joseph’s intentional sessions helped me fall in love with weightlifting, and the mindset shift he created has been the greatest gift."

  • "Training with Joseph was one of the most rewarding fitness experiences I've had. He helped prepare me for the Seattle Space Needle stair climb — wearing a weight vest — and taught me the importance of proper breathing and form. His motivation, attention to detail, and understanding of the body's rhythm made every session meaningful. I’m grateful for his guidance and highly recommend him to anyone serious about improving with integrity and purpose."

    Charles A.

  • "Joseph is the best trainer I've worked with. I was inconsistent and dealing with recurring injuries when we started, but his smart programming and support completely changed that. I’m lifting heavier than ever while actually feeling better in my body." "He knows exactly when to push and when to adjust, and keeps things fun with a mix of boxing, strength work, and conditioning. He celebrates every win and holds me accountable when I need it. Every session is challenging but never discouraging, and his ability to work around limitations has been game-changing." "If you want a trainer who truly invests in you, adapts to your body, and makes you excited to show up — he’s your person."

    Erica L.

  • "I reached out to Joseph because I wanted training that felt supportive and grounded. My previous trainer left me mentally drained, but from my first session with Joseph I felt the difference. His calm, thoughtful approach was exactly what I needed." "When we met, I had recently spent a month using a wheelchair, was still on and off crutches, and had nerve damage in my feet. Joseph listened closely, adapted everything to my needs, and made training feel safe and empowering. He even introduced me to the agility ladder — way more fun than expected — and we joked I was preparing for a Seahawks tryout." "Over time I became stronger, more stable, and far more confident. Joseph encouraged me without ever pressuring me. I always left feeling capable and uplifted. I recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone wanting a trainer who understands both the physical and emotional sides of fitness."

    Candice W.

  • What goals did you have when we started? "When Joseph and I started working together, I already had a functional fitness base, but I really wanted to add size to my arms, chest, and shoulders." How did training help? "Joseph pushed me harder than I could push myself. There were days I’d bike home after an arm session and my arms would be shaking — in a good way. The results spoke for themselves." What did you enjoy most? "He’s smart, friendly, and easy to talk to. He creates a space where I can challenge myself without ever feeling yelled at or pressured." Would you recommend his coaching? "Absolutely. I saw real results, enjoyed our sessions, and learned skills I still use today."
