Strength Training, Nutrition Coaching, Sport Performance, Pain-Free Performance
Hi, I’m Yosef, a personal trainer and nutrition coach with a B.S. in Human Performance & Exercise Science from Adams State University and an array of certifications; I am always learning, so I’m continually building this list. What sets me apart is my unique and non-dogmatic approach to fitness – utilizing all kinds of equipment and modalities to keep training fun, effective, and sustainable.
I possess coaching experience across a diverse range of nine college sports teams. During my internship with the University of Denver Sports Performance Team, I had the privilege of working under the leadership of Matt Shaw, who was awarded the 2016 NSCA Assistant Strength Coach of the Year. Additionally, I have experience working with high school athletes, seniors, and special populations, including individuals with Down syndrome and traumatic brain injury.
Through my unique approach that emphasizes injury prevention and the enhancement of strength while addressing weaknesses, I am confident in my ability to assist you in reaching your goals. Together, we can create a well-rounded workout program that includes every essential element of fitness: strength training, cardio/conditioning, muscle growth, flexibility, mobility, power, and fat loss. Let’s embark on this journey together!

- Pain-Free Performance Specialist, Master Pain-Free Performance Specialist (PPSC, PPSC*M)

What Yosef's Client's are saying
"I started my training journey a little over 10 years ago in response to some low back pain. I’ve had a number of trainers over the years - I learned something from every one of them. One difference with Yosef is that I probably learn something every week. His knowledge of exercise physiology and biomechanics has really helped me achieve improvements in mobility, strength, and balance over the 2 years that I worked with him. He’s always challenging my effort - more weight, more reps - but always with an eye to safety and injury prevention. I’ve also found him to be knowledgeable in nutrition and things like stretching, and foam rolling for prevention and management of any sore muscles. In short: I highly recommend Yosef - he’s a great trainer and a great guy."
"II started seeing Yosef a little under a year ago. I came to him after going through years of physical therapy for a back, neck, and shoulder injury I had from a ski accident. Physical therapy got me to the point of feeling more confident to start a little resistance training. I transitioned to a program called Redcord for a year, before doing Pilates for two. I always had aspirations of getting back in the gym, and I felt I had plateaued in Pilates. Yosef helped guide my journey back to the gym with effective and safe exercises I felt confident doing. As time has gone on I have felt more strength and stability than I have since I was in high school. It has been difficult for me to trust my body with practitioners, as I have had multiple setbacks. With Yosef, I know I am in good hands, and whatever obstacles arrive he always provides a way for me to keep training. I can’t thank him enough for what he’s given me, and I look forward to seeing how far my body will take me."
