About Josh

I have been into sport and fitness for as long as I can remember. P.E was one of the only subjects I enjoyed at school so it made sense to make a career out of it. Having completed my PT course back in 2008 I went on to work in a number of gyms to build a successful face-to-face PT business. For 12 1/2 years I was delivering anywhere from 45 to 55PT sessions per week.

Within this time, I met my business partner Adam who was the owner of a gym I was working in. Whilst working together we could see that the Personal Trainers coming into the industry were struggling with understanding how to pick up PT clients, how to deliver sessions and how to really make an impact. We both believed that the industry deserved better and that is how Create PT was formed.

We are now at a point where Create PT is known in the industry for delivering quality courses and creating excellent trainers and we are so pleased to see so many of our graduates smashing it in the industry. Outside of work, I am the father of two young boys and have an amazing wife. Everything I do, I do for them. I enjoy watching and taking part in sport..

Tennis was always my first love, but if anyone fancies a game of padel, I would love to get involved.
