Each summer Josh helps me tremendously in my preparation for the upcoming seasons. He focuses on my functional movements and helps correct any imperfections I may have developed through the course of a long, demanding Hockey season. I enjoy working with Josh because he customizes his program to each individual which helps me maximize my training results.

Josh is an excellent strength and conditioning coach. While he has an easy going personality, he is highly knowledgeable and motivated to bring out the best in his clients. What I found most valuable was his attention to detail on compound lifts and eagerness to learn and share new information that I had questions about.

You feel a lot of different muscles working in your body that correlates to performing on the field. It's not just a generic program that everyone gets, you get it individualized to you. I can see the ball flying off the bat and stealing bases is much easier so Josh has really helped me prepare in the off-season.

I did the 12-week training program with Josh and was amazed by my results. He develops a program specific for your goals and needs. He is dedicated to the programs and is always willing to lend a hand. Not only did he help me start my goals but he boosted my confidence, and we'll being. Highly recommend training with Josh and Athletic Preparation I know it turned my life around for the better!

Collegiate level baseball is a huge leap from competing in high school, but obtainable for anyone willing to seek out the right resources/trainers and have a great work ethic. I know I would not be where I am today without the timeless help of Josh Gibson. Through working on strength, flexibility, and range of motion or flexibility he has made me a better ballplayer. He continues to help me today even while I am playing baseball in North Carolina. If you are serious about your sport, Josh is a good resource to have to improve your game.

I spent the summer working with Josh who developed a custom program to meet my needs. I have been working out for many years, and I can say that I have never completed a program in which my initial expectations have more closely matched my actual results. The thing that I believe made all the difference is that Josh took the time to get to know me and my goals before tailoring a program specific to me.

My Speed, Strength, and Power Went Up!

My speed, strength, and power went up while training here for Football. Highly recommend it for other athletes in the area. Plus they listen to your needs and make the training fun and highly effective. Definitely was worth the investment and would do it again.

I came to Josh over protecting old injuries, afraid to push myself. I have been with Josh for about 1 1/2 years now. Feel so much stronger. Anytime I feel restricted because of a pain, he adjusts my workout. My motivation is back, I have ladies, in my same 5:30am timeslot, keeping me focused & accountable. Totally recommend to anyone, any age, any fitness level!!

Josh is awesome. Pushes you to go beyond your comfort zone and squeezes that extra juice out of you. This has been a great experience. Not just the workouts but diet and nutrition as well. Helped get me in a routine Losing weight and BMI. Loving the new me. If you are looking to lose weight and need someone who will guide you, Athletic Preparation is the way to go!

The best training experience I've ever had! I was hesitant to jump into team training when I was used to one-on-one or working out on my own but now I'm so glad I did! Josh makes workouts challenging and, if you can believe it, a lot of fun. He's great at helping you push yourself and there's just nothing more rewarding than watching your body become fitter and stronger. It's also really great to make gym buddies who encourage you and welcome you into the A-prep fam. I wish I would have started sooner!

Helped Me Develop Speed, Strength, and Power!

Choosing to train at Athletic Preparation with Josh has been a great experience for me. He's helped me develop speed, strength, and power specific for me as a college football safety. I really like the fact that he takes the time to teach me individually, and clearly communicates what I need to work on with my sprint technique, why it's important and how to execute it to get the most out of all the work we put in every week. I wish I trained here in high school and will be coming back in the off-season. One of the most important things I got out of training with Josh was the relationship. Over 3 months we became close and that really helped draw me into lift. It was a motivation to see him so we could get better together! He is a very intelligent guy who knows what he's doing. You would be making a huge mistake not signing up with Josh!! Can't wait to be back at Athletic Preparation!!!

I used to run (and still love running) but it never got me as lean and toned as I wanted. So my sister-in-law told me about what she was doing but I feel way more toned and defined and being stronger has helped me lower my mile time too.

My son has been training with Josh for the past few months. He loves going and has improved so much. Not only is Josh connected and extremely knowledgeable about his passion for training you and helping you be the best you can be!!! He's a nice guy!!! If you're looking for a great fitness coach look no further!!!

This is THE place to go for athletes! I cut .15 seconds off my 40-Yard dash in 8-weeks of training here, and have never been more excited for my upcoming football season. My strength levels increased, I feel more powerful and explosive when I’m running and in practice without a doubt! My teammates and coaches can notice my performance on the field. If you’re willing to put in the work, they will help you transform your game…they did for me!

My bench went from 255 to 305 in 6 weeks! My previous best all-time was 275.... Athletic Preparation helped me get my strength up for the football season! The training is hard but very effective and they make sure it transfers to your sport and makes you a better athlete, not just tired like a lot of coaches do.

A++ I had the pleasure of working out with Josh for 7 months and saw great results. I lost over 30 pounds, increased strength on every lift and went from having chronic back pain to being completely pain free. Josh is very enthusiastic about helping you to achieve your goals and genuinely cares. I highly recommend working with him if you get the chance.

I was very skeptical when I first began training because I didn’t know what to expect. However, Josh has proven to be more amazing than I could have ever imagined because he’s extremely knowledgeable and knows his stuff. I’m feeling a lot better, much stronger and losing almost 20lbs is pretty awesome too. Thanks Josh.

I got introduced to Athletic Preparation though a friend of mine who had already been going for some time. Lets just say it was the best decision I've ever made. Its been about a year and the progress that I've made is incredible and i owe it all to Josh. Not only have I gotten stronger and faster but my confidence has risen tremendously. You just let him know what you're trying to work towards and he'll design a workout regiment that suits you perfectly. I can't wait for the upcoming lacrosse season so I can show my coach and my team how much I've grown. This blows anywhere else out of the water. I highly recommend training at Athletic Preparation.

Added 20 Pounds of Muscle And All My Main Lifts Went Up!

As a college safety, I was looking to improve my speed and strength while also getting bigger. With Josh’s help I was able to cut .2 seconds off my 40, add 4 inches to my vert, added 20 pounds of muscle and all my main lifts went up. Great group of athletes and coaches to train with, highly recommend for any serious athlete.

I have to say about Josh! He is an awesome coach, he understands your strengths and weaknesses and motivates you in the right direction, make changes to the routine so you are well adjusted, challenged and not bored. He is very flexible in schedule too... I am so glad I did this training. Thanks Josh

Josh has been my strength coach for about 4 months total now. He has been such a great help!! He takes the time to explain each workout and creates a workout plan specifically for you. He meets you where you are at and works with you from there. He encourages, is motivational, and extremely knowledgeable. He is very focused when he is working with you and even takes the time to show you the proper form for each workout. I knew nothing about how to workout before seeing Josh. I always wanted to go to the gym but once I was there I never had any idea what to do. When I first met with Josh he asked me what my goals were and since then he continuously teaches me new techniques to help me reach those specific goals. Four months later and I feel adequate to actually attend a gym by myself and feel like I know what I am doing! Working out has helped me not only physically, but mentally, he has truly helped me create a better lifestyle for myself and for that I am thankful! He is such a great coach and I HIGHLY recommend him!

Had a great experience with Josh and the crew over the past couple months. I joined wanting to get rid of this dad bod. Definitely on the way.

I didn't know what to expect when I started, but I can honestly say that I feel better about where I'm at. I went in knowing nothing about strength training or weight lifting, and now I feel like I have a solid foundation to move forward on. Josh has been great in teaching me how to be a better version of myself.

I came into the environment knowing what needed to get done, but lacked direction, focus, and an overall plan. I was experiencing some mild health issues and needed that plan fast. Josh has given me that plan and direction and now I'm feeling amazing! Sleeping better, more energy throughout the day and improved mood are just a few things that have come of my work at A-Prep. Highly recommend.

I was a former athlete and lacked some direction and motivation in going to the gym on my own. I would either do the same routine or get bored and stop going but I had put on 50 pounds that I needed to lose. I found Athletic Preparation and after 6-months of legit training, diet and having a fun atmosphere that really pushes you to train in, I lost those 50 pounds and couldn't of done it on my own.

One Of A Kind When It Comes To Strength & Speed Training!

Josh is one of a kind when it comes to strength and speed training. He knows how to push you farther than you have ever gone before and it's super enjoyable having him right by your side. It's been a pleasure knowing Josh for these past couple of years and having him guide me through the training process. He has helped me achieve success on and off the football field.

I've been training at Athletic Preparation with Josh for about a year now and he is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and encouraging. He takes the time to get to know you personally and what your fitness goals are. I can honestly say that I am in the best shape of my life now thanks to Josh and the training programs. I'm stronger, gained lean muscle mass and decreased my overall body fat percentage. I look forward to continuing my fitness journey here!

As a colleague of Josh's I have witnessed his growth as a coach for nearly a decade now. He is always investing in knowledge that he can apply with his clients & athletes and it shows. That is the #1 thing that I respect about Josh and one of the many reasons why when I have every day people & athletes contact me that are in the Auburn Hills area, I refer them to Athletic Preparation!

I've lost 17 pounds!!!!! I highly recommend athletic preparations. I have worked out in the past but never shown results like I do now. My daughter started to work out with Josh and I was amazed that she kept working out so I joined her. Best thing I ever did. Josh is so knowledgeable and patient. Josh's teaching has allowed me to become stronger, feel better and I have more energy.

Josh is an extremely knowledgeable professional & makes your goals his priority. I have less back pain when working out and I feel more lean and toned!

I had the pleasure to have Josh as my coach. I had a great experience. My Self confidence grew. The classes/ workouts helped me to realized that I am capable to get stronger while having fun . I have to say that Josh is a great coach !!!
