Josh Bowen’s Bio

I started my fitness journey as a puny, 145 lbs 18 year old. Like most guys, I wanted muscles to get noticed, but what started as a way to get a date with a girl became a lifestyle and a career. After tirelessly trying to break into the fitness industry, I got my first training job in 2004. I was certified and ready to start whipping people into shape. What started as something I was doing on the side became a love and an obsession. Personal training was what I wanted to do!

I’ve trained them all: professional athletes, wannabe pro athletes, housewives, wannabe housewives, executives, and wannabe executives. You name them, I’ve trained them. My next move was to instill the education and know how I developed as a trainer to other trainers. In 2007, I was promoted to Quality Control Director for Urban Active Fitness. I have spent the past 4 years directing and leading 400 personal trainers in 7 states. I’ve certified trainers; I’ve proctored hundreds of seminars and conference calls and even contributed 10 published articles.

My mission is to spread the word of fitness to as many people as I can through personal training. My motto is Train, Motivate and Inspire!
