Welcome Josh!

We want to welcome Josh to the Definition family. Josh was a former competitive runner until implementing the use of interval and strength training into his personal regimen. The changes he made completely redefined his personal definition of fitness. After discovering a total fitness, Josh encompasses a wide range of activity and exercise to increase strength, cardiovascular function, power, and speed while decreasing body fat.

Josh has a goal for every client he encounters to reach an optimum level of fitness. While working with Josh, you will see that he is passionate and a well-educated professional who will be by your side to push you to your potential. He achieves this through the use of functional movements with alternating intensities and variability. He also encourages clients to understand the importance of nutrition in reaching your goals.

Josh attends the University of North Florida with a concentration in Exercise Science and will be graduating with his degree in August 2011. He is also a Certified Level 1 CrossFit Trainer and is planning to become certified by the America College of Sports Medicine as a Health Fitness Specialist in June 2011. He is interning with us all summer long!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Congratulations to Doreen Donohue, winner of Definition’s Biggest Loser Challenge! Throughout the 8 week program, Doreen lost a total of 16lbs, averaging 2 lbs per week! Doreen strictly followed the dietary guidelines given to her by Definition’s trainers and made it to the gym every chance she could! More impressively, Doreen was able to do this with an intense traveling schedule for work, which included a week trip to Europe. Doreen has continued to record her caloric intake and workout at Definition since finishing the Biggest Loser Challenge, resulting in yet more weight loss. She has a short term goal of losing another 10lbs and says that she
“hooked” to working out and isn’t going anywhere!
