Infinite Iron

In the service industry, success requires both talent and bedside manner, and in personal training the latter matters tremendously. Who wants to be physically vulnerable to someone you don’t care for or trust? I’ve been training with Josh at Infinite Iron for a few years now, and a large part of that has to do with how he works with me: he’s great!
I’m not someone who responds particularly well to yelling – I want to do whatever it is set in front of me, but occasionally I need help with keeping count and remembering what’s next. Josh is highly observant and picked up on that pretty quickly, with no yelling along the way. He’s pretty easygoing to start.
I’ve also had the chance to observe him work with many different kinds of people, old and young, and he modifies his style as necessary. If yelling’s your thing, he can accommodate.
He’s also well-​versed in nutrition and continuously modifies what we do. When I first started, I had different goals than I do now, and he takes that into account. We’ve done a variety of exercises using all sorts of things, and just when I think I’ve experienced it all, he comes up with something new.
He’s also motivating when it comes to accountability. Initially, I only planned to stay a few months to learn things and then continue on my own, but I realized training with him several mornings a week was a large part of the success of the rest of my day.
Check him out! You’ll be glad you did.

Even though I moved away from Michigan almost three years ago, I always try to make it a point to squeeze in a workout with Josh or Tim (owners & trainers at Infinite Iron) whenever I’m back. I am NOT a fitness freak and often make excuses to be active, so it’s saying a lot that I go out of my way to do this.
Josh and Tim are amazing! My husband and I trained with them a few years ago after being totally sedentary. I had gained a ton of weight in med school and felt like a blob. Besides losing over thirty pounds in a year working out three to four times a week, I also gained muscle (but not in the unfeminine way that I was thinking I would), strength, and confidence. All I had to do was show up and do what they told me, which was a mix of strength training, flexibility, and cardio. Seriously, I went from not being able to do a ‘real’ push-​up to being able to do over a hundred in a minute after about a year, which was super amazing for me.
I like that both Josh and Tim will push you to your limits and give you a really good workout but won’t yell at you, judge you, or make you feel bad about yourself. (I’m sure they can yell at you if you want them to, but that doesn’t work for me). Their workouts are efficient, always changing, and challenging. They also teach you great form while doing different exercises (with or without equipment), and other trainers I’ve worked with after them have commented on my form and being taught well. Finally, they can also give you nutrition advice if you want it. Besides all this fitness stuff, they are also just great guys to hang out with and talk to, and you can tell that they are really passionate about their jobs.
Do yourself a favor if you want to lose weight or get in shape and check them out for a few months. They have a fitness assessment when you start that can help you track your progress. You’ll be amazed at what can happen over a few weeks!
