I have owned and operated Courage Performance (Josh Courage Training when I first started it) for over 20 years now. I’ve opened two successful physical gym locations (DC and CA), and have coached thousands of people from young kids, to seniors, to professional athletes, to complete first timers, to weekend warriors.  My passion for helping others gain control of their lives has helped countless people change for the better - forever.

It all started when I was playing pro baseball - always looking for an edge. And that desire to constantly seek improvement always seemed to attract training partners. I spent my spare time educating myself in everything from human biomechanics, to nutrition, to energy systems, and on and on. And when my short baseball career was over, a new career and passion took over my life!

I constantly challenge myself, from CrossFit, to marathon, to triathlon, Spartan Races, Olympic Weightlifting, Powerlifting, and (not directly fitness related) outdoor/primitive survival training and archery/bow hunting  And this hands-on experience in learning, training, and competing plays a huge roll in my coaching. I want nothing more than to help empower each person I work with to become the best version of themselves possible.

Aside from health and fitness, I am a husband, and father to two wonderfeul kids. Being a father is by far the thing I am most proud of, and my two kids are totally and completey my WHY for everything I do.

Shifting from gym owner, to online personal trainer (thanks COVID...), and now expanding by busienss into Living With Courage, is my way of bringing the absolute BEST in health and fitness coaching to each and every person I am able to work with. I am here to serve. I am here to empower. I am here to be honest with you and supportive of you. I am here to help you change your life.
