Josh Charles Personal Training at home in Dana Point
Philosophy

Support, accountability, and training gets you to where you're trying to be

The truth is, making positive changes to your lifestyle is a marathon not a sprint. I've learned that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work; each client is unique and requires a personalized plan.

With over 20 years of experience in the fitness industry, I've honed my skills and developed a deep understanding of what it takes to help people reach their full potential on an individual level. I tailor every approach to meet the individuals needs and goals.

The most satisfying part of my job is seeing the positive changes in my clients' lives. From increased energy and reduced anxiety to improved mood and overall well-being, I'm proud to be a part of their journey.

Josh's Bio & Qualifications

As a NASM Certified Personal Trainer since 2002, I've had the privilege of guiding thousands of clients toward lasting health and happiness through fitness. By setting achievable goals, providing accountability, and administering safe and effective scientific-based exercise programs, I've helped them transform their bodies, gain strength, improve functionality, and enhance their overall well-being. 

With over two decades of experience in the fitness industry, I understand that each client has unique needs and requires a tailored approach. I'm committed to providing personalized support, motivation, and training to help you reach your goals. Whether you're looking to lose weight, gain muscle, improve your endurance, live longer, or simply feel better overall, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
