Welcome to Motivation Monday, where every Monday we answer all of your questions and have some real talks about life & fitness & get you fired up for the week! In this episode we talk about how to become a trainer, road trip tips and if obsession is bad or good.


Question 1- Hi! I don’t know if you guys see this or read through all these, but I’m currently starting my NASM process and I was wondering if you had any tips or advice for what it’s like being a personal trainer and how to do it? I’ve worked with people in customer service for years and want to take my customer service into the health community and help share something I love with other people, but I’m nervous getting started. Thank you!


Josh quote: “When you’re born you look like your parents, when you die you look like your decisions. Every decision you make is a domino effect on your life."

Question 2- What tips do you have for staying on track on a roadtrip?


Question 3- My family has noticed me becoming more fit and “obsessed” with the gym. They’re kind of worried about me and I’m curious your thoughts. I track my food daily, rarely eat out, go to the gym 6 times a week and never drink alcohol.


Thanks for listening! We genuinely appreciate every single one of you listening.
