Sleeping better, more energy throughout the day and improved mood are just a few things that have come of my work at A-Prep. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I got introduced to Athletic Preparation though a friend of mine who had already been going for some time. Lets just say it was the best decision I've ever made. Its been about a year and the progress that I've made is incredible and i owe it all to Josh. Not only have I gotten stronger and faster but my confidence has risen tremendously. You just let him know what you're trying to work towards and he'll design a workout regiment that suits you perfectly.

He's great at helping you push yourself and there's just nothing more rewarding than watching your body become fitter and stronger. It's also really great to make gym buddies who encourage you and welcome you into the A-prep fam. I wish I would have started sooner!

I really like the fact that he takes the time to teach me individually, and clearly communicates what I need to work on with my sprint technique, why it's important and how to execute it to get the most out of all the work we put in every week. I wish I trained here in high school and will be coming back in the off-season. One of the most important things I got out of training with Josh was the relationship. Over 3 months we became close and that really helped draw me into lift. It was a motivation to see him so we could get better together! He is a very intelligent guy who knows what he's doing.
