His own comeback came first

In his early 50s, Josh was more than 40 pounds overweight and not happy with where life was heading. He started DDP Yoga, practiced every day, and went from 270 to 208 pounds, a 62-pound change. He says he feels the best he has since he was 17. That experience is why he coaches the way he does: patient, practical and always on your side.

What Josh is known for

  • DDPY Master Trainer. One of a select group who coach other instructors toward DDPY certification. He helps develop DDPY programs, including DDPY Physical Therapy, and leads workouts in the DDPY app like Leg Builder and Quick HIIT.
  • Big comebacks. Since 2022 he has helped former heavyweight boxer Eric "Butterbean" Esch regain his mobility, and he is part of the docuseries Change or Die (Tubi, 2025), where five people take on life-changing goals.
  • Every age and ability. Adaptive and comeback fitness, DDPY for seniors (55+), chair-based options, and athletes who want an edge.
  • Smart strength tools. He uses PowerCuffs blood flow restriction (BFR) training to help clients build strength without heavy weights.

How he coaches

Josh believes fitness is mostly mindset: he often says it's about 60% mindset and 40% physical work. Show up consistently, keep moving in lots of different ways, and celebrate every win. Every plan is personal, built around your body, your schedule and your goals.

Where you'll find him

One-on-one in the Palm Beach area and online. He also leads group classes and beach workouts, like sunset sessions on Hutchinson Island and Saturday morning yoga on the lawn at The Boston House, and he trains at the DDPY Performance Center in Georgia.
