Meet Josh Thomas
Josh Thomas is a career fitness trainer, performance coach, and physique transformation specialist with 19 years of professional experience under his belt.
As a fitness model, competitive bodybuilder, and athlete who’s traveled the world sharing his passion for health & fitness, his journey led him to build Lifted Mindset.
With over 20 years of personal experience in the gym, Josh found his passion at the young age of 12. Without knowing it was going to be deeply connected to his purpose, he went down the usual academic route by attending college to become a mechanical engineer. Throughout this time he was building his personal training business on the side.
As the realization that the gym was his path became more evident, a test in his kinesiology class pushed him to pursue human physiology & biomechanics. The NASM (National Association of Sports Medicine) gave out a test to over a hundred students in the class with a $100 incentive to the student with the highest score. As a broke college student who was already passionate about the human body, Josh took home the prize. This pivotal moment solidified his direction in the fitness industry.
