Do you have the lean, toned, sexy body that you want?

After you've tried all of the other personal trainers in Denver, come to the specialist.

90% of the people in the gym fall into one of three categories:

1.) You got some results, but not enough or not the ones you wanted.

2.) You used to get results, you can remember what it was like to get results, but you aren't getting results right now.

3.) You've never gotten results, and you're pretty pissed off about it.

I know. I see it all the time. I was there once myself. I can help.

Most trainers are generalists, they work with anyone. I have a very specialized clientel: 83% of my clients are women who want to lose those last stubborn pounds of fat. 11% of my clients are men who want to lose that last stubborn fat. 6% of my clients are sports performance, or came to me specifically for kettlebell training.

The majority of my clients come to me relatively fit, and it's my job to blast off those last 5-10 pounds of stubborn fat and take from a good body to a rockstar body. That's my specialty.

When I work with clients who haven't worked out before, I use the same principles and it literally blowtorches the fat right off of them. If someone is new to working out, if they train with me twice a week for two months they're friends will be shocked at how many inches have dropped off their waist in a few months.

Kerem Fischback was already in awesome shape when she started the program. She's been working out and eating right for years, but she had hit a plateau and, she was stuck.

She was pretty little and didn't need to get any smaller - she just needed to burn off some stubborn fat and add an equal amount of lean toned sexy muscle.

And that's exactly what she did. Kerem transformed eight pounds in six weeks: Lost 4.5 pounds of fat and gained 3.5 pounds of muscle, dropping from an already really good 25% body fat to a “rockstar lean” 21%. She had a little waist already, but over the six weeks she lost another half inch off her waist, really tightening up her stomach.

Kerem pulled a hot mini skirt out of her closet that she hasn’t worn in five years, and it looked awesome on her.

“When I came to Josh at 24 hour Fitness, once underweight, I had gained the weight I needed to gain and then some and I gained it in a way that wasn’t really doing it for me. Josh helped me get into the shape that I wanted in just 5 weeks! Best of all Josh helped me appreciate my body for what it was and have a healthy perspective of how I should look, which in this day and age of pencil thin models everywhere you look, is a miracle in itself. Josh’s excitement and positive nature is contagious, when you are around him you just can’t help but feel great. I came out of every training session feeling great both physically and mentally with a smile on my face and there really isn’t anything better than that!”

Already lean Melissa Walker dropped from a really good 25% body fat, to a rockstar lean 21.5% body fat in just five weeks. She also lost 3/4 of an inch off of her already skinny waist.

Irina Tchenko is one of those girls that's genetically gifted. She can do pretty much what ever she wants and still look skinny with her clothes on. But when she looked at her stomach, thre was still more fat than she wanted. Turns out that "skinny" and "lean" aren't the same thing.

After just five weeks Irina lost an inch and a half off of her waist and dropped 3% bodyfat. After that she had the body she had the lean and toned rockstar body she wanted and was done.

Lindsey Reimer lost 5% bodyfat, transforming 11 pounds in eight weeks. (losing eight pounds of fat and gaining three pounds of muscle). She lost an unbelievable 4.75 inches off of her waist in eight weeks - and she's still going.

"It actually wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I can still eat the stuff I want. I just eat less of it."

“ I just went and tried on a new bikini. I couldn’t believe it, my ass hasn’t
looked this good since I was 17! Thanks Josh! The ‘better booty workouts’ we
do are totally working!”
-Kat Egan

“ I can’t thank Josh enough for introducing me to such a unique and fun
workout plan. Learning and mastering new exercises (like the dumbbell
swing) has been the most fun and rewarding for me. I also love the fact that
each workout involves the use of my entire body and that the exercises are
mentally stimulating as well as physically challenging. I’m always excited to
workout with Josh and I become more and more motivated after each workout.
I’m addicted!”
-Jenna Knight

Shelly Hoffman lost 4% bodyfat, going from 26% bodyfat down to a super hot 22%
bodyfat in just six weeks. She also lost two inches off of her waist, and an
inch off of her butt.

"Working out with Josh has made a bigger difference in my life than any other exercise or fitness program I've ever done. When I began working with Josh, all I wanted was for him to show me some exercises that would help alleviate some low back pain I had from a back injury. Not only did he give me some great strength training exercise that helped my back, he taught me about nutrition, stretching, and functional training. What that meant for me is that he showed me in the gym how to properly lift weight using my legs (so as to not aggravate my back), which then translated to real life situations such as moving boxes at home, lifting the laundry basket or doing the dishes. I can't tell you how much relief from back pain I've had.
Because of the nutrition and diet I learned about from Josh, the fat on my body just melted away. It revealed ripped abs and a fabulous toned figure that I never knew I had. I went to Mexico in the spring and had my best bikini body. I'm so glad that he encouraged me to incorporate the diet along with exercise so I could maximize my results.
Josh was so fun to work out with and was a great motivator and coach. He played fun music and was really great to be around. I've maintained the workouts and the diet for almost a year now and have been successful in continuing the fitness plan in the months that followed my personal sessions with Josh. That is to say that I work out on my own now and am able to maintain the results. I love it!"

"Why is Josh Hillis a great and unbelieveble trainer?
Before working with Josh I basically hated dealing with food and trying to eat right. I have a really busy job and I would skip meals all the time. I liked to play sports, but working out was the worst thing ever. Working out was always so boring. Going to gyms, stopping to eat.... it was all so boring, boring.
Josh has that thing, that positive confidence that makes you want to change yourself for the better. He takes care all the time to make sure you feel comfortable with the movements and exercises. He studies and finds out the best way to make it work for you. He is always looking for different and fun things to make your body better. He is professional and positive all the time. He showed me what I never thought was possible, that working out could be fun and that eating right could be fun. It’s changed perspectives about it completely.
Before I got sick almost every week. I was physically weak and so stressed out all the time. Now, after working with Josh, its been almost 5 weeks without being sick and I’m feeling stronger and healthier. Its not magical. Its not easy. But if you are learning about working out and eating right with him, it's amazing. I found out that Working out can be fun, it sounds crazy, but it’s true. Eating right is really the smartest choice I have ever made. Josh just gives to you that "key" that you could never find before.
Josh has really smart ways to show me how to get stronger and healthier. I am happier now, stronger, and healthier, and it's because I listened to him.
I never saw this before. Best thing ever. Thanks Josh!"

-Laís Wild

"Working out with Josh is the best. Josh embraces life to the max and that is what I love most about him. Just about anything makes him excited and happy. He is a true inspiration to me. He is passionate about life and follows his dreams. You must get infected with this energy-- you will be dancing on your toes!"

"Josh Hillis is easily one of the top trainers in the country today. From his vast and varied knowledge of cutting-edge kettlebell lifting and the unique sport of CrossFit, to his textbook knowledge acquired from the NASM and other organizations, Josh has all of the tools necessary to develop outstanding training systems for pretty much anyone. I have spoken with him on numerous occassions on training tactical personnel, and he has always been very open and accurate with his knowledge. He also sometimes lets his down-to-earth nature fool you into thinking that he won't get you into outstanding shape. Don't be fooled. If you have the chance to train with Josh, take it now before it passes you by."

"Having been a personal trainer for a couple of years and worked around a number of personal trainers at Golds Gym and Washington Sports Club. Josh is what all those trainers are not. What I mean by that is that he does not stop at what the certification teaches but seeks to enrich his knowledge not for his own benefit but to further help his clients. That is what makes a good personal trainer, it's the knowledge you have beside your certifications that make you a good personal trainer. He has spent a ton of his own money to work with innovators of fitness like Coach Glassman (founder of Crossfit), Coach Burgerner (nationally recognized Olympic lifting coach) and Pavel Tsatsouline (Whom basically brought Kettlebells to the US). The three afore mentioned coaches are in the process of drastically changing the landscape of fitness today. I would have no problem referring people to Josh for not just weight loss but weight loss coupled with becoming faster and stronger than they had ever thought they could be."

-Allen Yeh

"In a foggy world of fitness gadgets, quick fixes, and empty promises, Josh Hillis is a burning sun of brevity revealing what fitness is supposed to be. Equally as depthful as is his breadth of fitness, Josh’s arsenal of strength and conditioning methods far surpass anything you would find in most commercial gyms and personal fitness facilities. He is a walking encyclopedia of training methods. Even more important is that he actually practices what he preaches. He shares a love for fitness that most personal trainers would leave behind when they lock up the gym doors. He is always evolving and updating what he knows and can offer real results to those who have failed on late-night infomercial ads, celebrity secrets, fake pills, and overpriced torture devices sold by eccentric men in spandex and pony tails. Sun Tzu once wrote that ‘one defends when his strength is inadequate; he attacks when it is abundant’. Josh does not need to defend his knowledge like many personal trainers do, because his strength in fitness is in abundance. Therefore, he attacks by challenging you to a personal training session. What are you waiting for?"
