I cannot recommend Josh Bawden enough! Training with him has been an absolute game-changer in my fitness journey. He’s not just a trainer who helps you hit your goals — he’s a true coach who goes above and beyond every single session.
What sets him apart is how much he genuinely cares. He doesn’t just focus on workouts — he checks in regularly on my nutrition, sleep, stress levels, and overall lifestyle. His encouragement is constant, his energy is contagious, and he always keeps me motivated, even on the toughest days.
Whether I’m celebrating progress or hitting a rough patch, he’s right there supporting and pushing me forward. Thanks to him, I’ve not only gotten stronger physically, but I’ve also developed better habits and more confidence in myself.
If you’re looking for someone who truly invests in your success and treats your goals like his own, look no further than Josh !

Honestly the best at what he does! Looking back at my diet before starting with Josh and what it is now, I cannot believe I am eating all the foods I was afraid of! And enjoying them too! He has really worked hard with me to change my perception of food and become a healthier version of me. There have been lots of ups and downs along the way but Josh has been nothing but supportive. Love that he is always available when I need and so knowledgeable in what he does! Thank you Josh! Looking forward to achieving my fitness goals with you! More...

Having training with Josh for nearly 6 months now, I couldn't recommend him more highly! Not only has he helped me finally sort my body and fitness out.
. I love training with him.
I thought i'd use Josh just to gain some momentum again, but I now have a friend and coach who keeps me accountable, pushes me, listens. I wont be leaving you any time soon Josh!!

I have been training with Josh for nearly five years now, and I genuinely couldn’t ask for a better PT. He has way of pushing you to your limits while still being incredibly supportive and kind.
Josh always takes the time to explain each workout, ensuring we understand the purpose behind it, and he’s quick to correct form to keep things both safe and effective. He also created a fantastic plan that helped me successfully complete a half marathon — he tailored my workouts and adjusted my food plan to keep me on track.
One thing that sets Josh apart is his attention to individual needs. As a vegetarian, I’ve really appreciated his thoughtful and practical nutrition advice, which has helped me fuel my body properly and reach my fitness goals. Thanks to his guidance, I’m getting stronger, fitter, and most importantly—happier. I’m truly grateful for the positive impact he’s had on my life.

I’ve been training with Josh for almost 3 years now and I am the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been! I started with Josh with the aim of loosing a bit of weight post my second daughter. In 6 weeks I lost 6kg through weight training and a personalised nutrition plan. Each session is meticulously planned and Josh makes it both fun and challenging! It’s amazing how far I have come from barely being able to lift a 5kg dumbbell thanks to Josh’s expert coaching. He is the best! Book a session - you won’t regret it! More...

I've been training with Josh for over 4 years and through his guidance, expertise and encouragement I've reached levels of fitness I had never anticipated. Sessions with Josh are always enjoyable but challenging as his aim is always for you to reach your full potential. To quote a well known song he's 'Simply the Best'. More...

What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Step 1: Get Clear on Your Why
Before we dive into training, we’ll uncover what’s truly driving you. When you know your "why," it becomes a powerful anchor.
Step 2: Understand Where You’re At
We’ll assess your current habits, fitness level, and lifestyle so we know exactly where we’re starting from. That way, we can set realistic goals and make every step count.
Step 3: Build Consistency That Lasts
We’ll create a routine that fits your life, not the other way around. Progress comes from showing up regularly, and I’ll help you build momentum one win at a time.
Step 4: Create the Right Environment
The coach-client relationship matters. We’ll make sure we’re aligned from the start, then work together to shape a plan that supports you, both inside and outside the gym.
What do you love most about your job?
What I love most about my job is being part of people’s journeys to become stronger, healthier, and more confident versions of themselves. It’s incredibly rewarding to see clients overcome challenges, develop sustainable habits, and achieve goals they once thought were out of reach.
I’m passionate about empowering people with the knowledge and support they need to take control of their own health for life. Every small win, whether it’s a new personal best or improved mindset, is a reminder of why I do what I do.
What inspired you to start your own business?
What inspired me to start my own business was the desire to help people take control of their health in a way that fits their lives. I saw too many people struggling with confusing advice, cookie-cutter programmes, or quick fixes that didn’t last.
I wanted to create something different. Coaching that’s personalised, practical, and focused on building strength, improving nutrition, and creating sustainable lifestyle changes.
Starting my own business gave me the freedom to design a coaching experience that truly supports people long-term and helps them become their strongest, healthiest selves.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should choose me because I’m committed to helping them build real, lasting strength and improve their health in a way that fits their unique lifestyle.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every plan I create is personalised with the client's needs in mind.
Beyond the workouts, I focus on educating and empowering you to make informed decisions about nutrition and lifestyle, so you can sustain your progress long after our time together.
Most importantly, I provide ongoing support, accountability, and a coaching relationship built on trust and collaboration, because your success is a team effort.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
