“Josh executed an exceptional education event for our West Virginia Young Presidents' Organization chapter.  From the start, he was easy to work with and enabled us to design a bespoke day of learning that included breathwork, fitness, and hot/cold exposure.  He led additional resources to produce a one-of-a-kind experience for our members that received rave reviews.  Multiple participants have told me it was the best event they've attended in years of YPO experiences.”

“Working with Josh through Mission1Race was nothing short of transformative. After my first attempt at the 250-mile journey ended in near disaster—hospitalized, with my health hanging in the balance—Josh came alongside me with coaching, training plans, and accountability that reshaped everything. Through his guidance in breath, warm-ups, safe training approaches, and personalized adjustments, I was able to prepare in a way that was sustainable, holistic, and life-giving. The result was night-and-day: I sprinted into the finish line strong, healthy, and happy, surrounded by community, rather than collapsing into urgent care.

What sets Josh apart is his character, his coaching ability, and his conviction. He carries a deep inclusivity that welcomes people of every background and communicates with clarity and inspiration. He is not a coach of shame, but of vision—able to absorb what is needed and repackage it in a clear, concise, and motivating way. His conviction for holistic wellness and sustainable movement impacts not just events like Mission1Race, but the lives of those he coaches. I would recommend Josh without hesitation to anyone pursuing an endurance event, health and wellness goals, or simply a stronger, healthier life.”

Working with Josh has been a game changer for my running. Over several seasons, he’s developed three ultra marathon training plans for me — each uniquely adapted to my changing schedule and needs. His depth of knowledge in injury prevention, nutrition, strength, mobility, and breath work is exceptional.  I trusted the plans and as a result, have completed many ultra marathons to date.  

Josh offers the perfect balance of encouragement and realism, guiding with both compassion and honesty. His continual growth as a coach is evident in the thoughtfulness of his plans and the consistent support he provides. I’ve achieved every goal I set while staying injury-free — a testament to his expertise and commitment.“By the time I met Josh I was close to 50 years old and had been a fitness nut for at least 30 years. I was a marathon runner, a swimmer a weight trainer, a rower, a biker and pretty much everything else you can think of and I loved it all.

I was attracted to Josh by watching him in the gym I had started to attend in New York City because I saw him doing things with his clients that no one had ever done with me. By that I mean rope climbing,  Kettle bell lunges, combined with push-ups, combined with heavyweight ball slams, combined with rowing, combined with combined with combined with. New combinations of new exercises with steady instruction made each workout anything but routine. 

Once we started working together, I was amazed at the very, very personal interest and insight that Josh took and required of me in the almost daily way we ultimately ended up training together over time. He was consistently thoughtful, and I knew that when I left him for the day, he was still thinking and reformatting and going over how we and he could improve my workout experience and my get to my goals well after our required time was over. He changed up our workout almost every three months if not sometimes sooner if he felt that there were things that needed to change. He consistently re-introduced me to new ways of thinking about my workout, my body, and my goals in the process, and maybe most importantly, he became a trusted friend with phenomenal expertise. Im short, a bespoke coach specifically for me. And that has continued as our paths have taken apart. He continues to check in on me, offer support, Introduce me to new ideas and clearly very much cares about my well-being and my fitness goals. I’ve never had a partner (and I call him that more than a “ trainer”) like Josh, who has given me so much insight, education, attention, and ultimately friendship as Josh has. 

I believe that since Josh and I stopped training It’s been near impossible and probably will always be for me to ever find as dedicated a partner in my training and as caring a coach as Josh has been to me. 

I’m proud and gratified to also call him a dear friend.”

Josh has coached and written training plans for me that included activities ranging from hiking a mountain to running a 100 miler. One of the things that has impressed me about Josh's coaching is his expansive knowledge base, which includes breath work, the differences between female and male runners, strength exercises to boost performance or address injuries, and assisting in the growth of the individual's mind, body, and soul. Josh is an encourager and a great listener. He asks intuitive questions that often help me process and get to the root of my occasional struggles with training or races. Josh has been a God send!

“I worked with Josh Fly for years as my trainer. He brings such good positive energy to our sessions. It’s very hard not to walk away feeling refreshed and renewed. He always talked about our workouts as a part of the big picture of our lives. His focus was always about your whole self.  He was the fitness director at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan, one of the biggest and best gyms around. The good vibe he brought to that job was palpable and contagious. He was always scheming up an event, often for charity, and creating a feeling of inclusion and community around it.”
