When I joined Golds Gym in Venice, I had a very unhealthy lifestyle, none of the exercise programs designed to make you thinner or look better had ever stuck, and I needed a change. That change came in the form of Powerlifting - and Josh Squyres not only helped me to gain physical strength, but also emotional strength and confidence. He didn't give me a pre-formulated workout, and he didn't try to push a style of fitness and eating habits on me that didn't match my wants and my needs. We worked together to find workouts that I thought were fun, rewarding, and got me the results I wanted. Now, almost one year later, I am a national powerlifting record holder, and I look and feel the best I ever have. He also helped encourage me to eat healthier, fuller meals, so that I felt stronger and more energized throughout the day. I could not have made this amazing change in my life if it weren't for the support of Josh Squyres and the amazing community of Golds Gym Venice!
