Josh is our current head trainer at TITLE Boxing Club Allen and is an expert in all things martial arts. He grew up in a small town called West Greenwich Rhode Island and has been living in Texas since late 2018 making his way over to Title late in 2020.

He has been training since he was a kid starting with karate where he got his second-degree black belt and moving on to boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, and BJJ in high school. He now spends most of his time outside of the club training for MMA fights and looking for any other way to improve himself as a trainer and coach.

My why:

Josh has loved teaching since his first class as a teenager and wants to continue that journey. For him seeing a member improve and gain confidence over time motivates him to keep going.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

Josh’s competitive nature drives him through everything, whether it’s his fighting, teaching or anything else he will strive to be the best he can be.

Trainer/Staff Bio

I started out 10 years ago on my fitness journey as an overweight Title member looking for a different type of workout to hit my fitness goals. I was trained by many Boxers and MMA Fighters over the years but I give most of my training credit to George and Alex Rincon who are Professional Boxers out of Carrollton, TX. They took me under their wings to help me with not only my form and technique but also to help me really understand Boxing from all aspects of the sport and to help build my confidence. From there I started teaching classes at Title spreading my knowledge of Boxing and helping others stay motivated on their fitness journeys.

My personal mantra

Fill your life with experiences, not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.

My training style is:

energetic

My why:

I became a trainer to motivate others to get into shape and dig deeper within themselves to unleash the beast that they all possess inside.

What gives me my fighting spirit:

The Man up above, my family, and my circles of friends keep me going with their positive attitudes and constantly believing in me in anything I do.
