Meet the East Coast's best fitness coaches
Josh March
|
Coach Josh is passionate about helping people take control of their lives. This is what led him to venture out on his own in 2011. After working in commercial gyms and corporate wellness centers focused on fitting in with the mainstream gym mentality, he decided to break the mold. If others weren’t going to be open to change, he would create the change he wanted to see. Josh took his concept of functional training (and the Sparta program) and began coaching anywhere he could. Within a few months he connected with Angela Myers, who was following a similar trajectory, and they joined forces in what is now emPower Training Systems.
But his passion for helping others doesn’t stop there. He is also the Non-commissioned Officer-in-Charge of Chapel Operations for the 193rd Special Operations Wing in the United States Air Force (PA Air National Guard). This position not only allows Josh to serve others and his country, but also God. Josh strongly believes that God has placed a call on his life to help others with all pillars of wellness, not just the physical. Coach Josh is also the proud “Dada” to 2 young kiddos, EmmaJane and Simon, and happily married to his wife Erin. He enjoys being active outdoors and is a competitive obstacle course racing athlete. He had the honor of competing on American Ninja Warrior in 2017 and brought home the title of “World Champion” in his age group at the 2021 Obstacle Course Racing World Championships! He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science and nearly 20 years of experience in the field. Josh is currently pursuing his Master’s of Divinity at Liberty University. |
