At the close of 2018, I completed my first ever 8-Week challenge with F45 Training Woodstock. I knew I had to do something about my health. I was struggling to pick up my kids, was weighing a very heavy weight and was depressed. When I weighed in at the beginning of this challenge all I said to myself was, "Josh, you just have to trust the process and keep moving forward" I weighed in at 97.2Kg's. During this 8-week challenge, my father passed away and F45 was the only thing that kept me going. I was able to push all the pain into my workouts and felt very liberated by the whole process. I had formed new meaningful friendships that feel like family. F45 to me is not about weight loss, it's about becoming a stronger and better version of myself. 
Here is a video clip of my before and after photos.
