Summary
Josh is an emergency department nurse who faced a harrowing fight with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and then suffered an injury that set back his recovery and fitness goals. When he arrived at Third Street, he was finally ready to execute a winning game plan for losing weight and getting stronger. Building on the advice he received when he first received his cancer diagnosis to “Be Positive,” Josh sets a strong example in and out of the gym.
