Josh Martinez, Coach

Strength & Conditioning Coach, Personal Trainer | @coachjosh.sls

Josh started having an interest in fitness back in middle school when he started boxing out of West End gym. He continued boxing throughout high school and won the Central England Golden Gloves in 2015. Outside of boxing he wrestled, but had to stop both due to a shoulder injury.

After the injury, he had to figure out different ways to exercise so he decided to start resistance training. Josh was curious how the body adapts to different styles of exercise and have always enjoyed helping others so he  decided to go to school for Exercise Science. Josh reached out to SLS fitness for an intern position back in June of 2021 because it was a great opportunity to learn from knowledgeable coaches and physical therapists.

As a fitness coach, his goal is to help people succeed in reaching their fitness goals for the long-term.
