Hello, I'm Josh Stroud.

I'm a former Ironman, Mr. USA, Pro Wrestler and Natural Nationals Champion turned personal trainer who has over the years developed a specific, easy to follow system to help my personal clients acheive their fitness goals. I am the owner of J's Training which is a very successful health facility specializing in rehab, personal training, general health and fitness training. I also own Bodymaker Productions, Inc which is a sales and service firm for exercise and workout gear and also provides nutritional and exercise training on an outpatient basis.

My company provides:

• weight loss
• better health training
• professional athlete grooming
• specialized sporting event training

I developed the BodyMaker bar and system in 1996 after years of seeing people exercising too hard and too quickly. All of my exercise routines and personal training sessions focus on exercising smartly and with the correct technique. After witnessing the stunning transformation of many of my client's bodies and lives, I've decided to share the knowledge I've accumulated over a lifetime with the world! I'm the highest-rated personal trainer in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The social and business elite of DFW routinely testify that I am the only trainer worthy of this task. I'm honored to have won the Ironman, Southern Masters USA, Mr. USA and the Natural Nationals contest during my competition days and I have also trained Super Bowl winners.
