Hi, I’m Josh, and I’m the coach for you!

I am located in Phoenix, Arizona and I’ve been married to my wife, Mia, since 2021. We have a one year old daughter named Lennon and she is the light of our lives. My career started as an Elementary Teacher, and I now report as an Athletic Director and HS Teacher. I get to live out one of my passions - helping children succeed. Fitness is another huge passion of mine and I wanted to find a way to combine these two passions together. Cue Josh Manning Fitness!

A couple of years ago, I became a certified Personal Trainer and Nutrition Specialist. However, fitness became a big part of my life a long-time ago, and I am excited to be able to share with you what I have learned, and what I’m continuing to learn.

The reason “why” I workout has changed over the years as I’ve gone through various stages in life.

At first, the goal was to fill out my clothes more and not feel so skinny. Then, as I progressed through college, it became a habit that served as a stress-reliever (& what I looked forward to every day). Pride began to set in and it helped me build stronger intrinsic motivation as I started to see results. Real, visual results. Now, as a father and husband, it is about continuing my physical and mental development so I can show up as the best version of myself each day.
