Bellevue, Washington
You might be asking yourself at this point, what is a Warrior?
Warrior is a mindset.
We are inspired everyday by everyday people rising above themselves to answer a call to battle and to fight. This fight could be as bold and public as putting themselves on the line of duty in war, or as quiet and private yet just as terrifying and difficult as a battle with obesity or cancer.

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS: Belton came highly recommended to me. I came to Warrior Strength for FMA because Belton is ranked in and teaches multiple systems. While I told Belton that my interest at the time is specifically FMA, it has not stopped him from including me in his BJJ and Muay Thai programs. For someone at the beginning of a journey, it can be overwhelming to take in that much information, like trying to drink water through a fire hose. From what I have experienced, Belton and Josh are very patient and I am confident that they will help me incorporate the different programs at the pace that I need to go. Will followup over time.

These guys are incredible. I began with them when I lived on the east side and now I commute from Seattle so I can still train with them. So much personal attention and bringing in different skill sets to respond to your needs. I came in with a lot of physical issues and they’ve supported me pushing through it. More...

Coach Belton really cares for his students and the results show. He is deliberate, articulate, and a superb communicator at explaining the mechanics of a move and how it fits into the big picture. If you want 'coaching' instead of just 'instructing' this is the place for you! More...

He's not your typical you pay me I train you then you leave coach. He genuinely cares about your results and that makes all the difference.

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
We use traditional strength training, Underground Strength Training Methods, Kettlebells, Bodyweight, and Martial Art Movements to achieve goals. A complete Program is key to success. Its not JUST about weight training. Its a balance of nutrition, training, recovery, and mindset. My job is to guide you according to where you currently are and bring you to small goals to achieve the bigger picture.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Nutrition and Dedication to the program is key. I can only guide you. You have to do the work. No Trainer or program is perfect. It's a journey that you are willing to take with your trainer as you BOTH get to know each other. There IS NO secret. almost all the information is out there. Its a matter of finding out the recipe that works for you. You become your own food scientist and your best ally to defeat any obstacles in your way currently and ones that may come along the way as you strive towards your goals.
What do you love most about your job?
I get to see changes in people that make this world a better place. People are empowered physically and mentally and spiritually. As a martial artist and strength coach....I get the best of both worlds.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I hated the corporate mentality of looking at people as revenue lines. It was constantly seeing how much more money the company can make. I started in the health field to make a difference and I got out in time before it consumed my soul and my initial passion to help others.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm NOT just a trainer. I did not pay for a two day online certification course. I went to college and became a college trainer. I've trained athletes at the highest levels and I've worked with people who are in specialty population groups that most trainers wouldn't dare work with for lack of skill and knowledge. My diversity and experience sets me apart. I'm also not magically physically gifted. I worked hard to get where I'm at and I understand that. I know what it's like to be bullied and to be fat. I've been through the ups and downs and I can relate to those wanting to be a Warrior. It's authenticity in relating to the client.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can do both. I prefer in person but can do online if that's the only resource at the moment.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Online programming and coaching is one avenue to provide safety.
