Josh Salzmann is widely regarded as Hollywood’s leading celebrity fitness trainer.

Born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Josh is the son of a working class rabbi. When he found himself struggling with obesity as a young boy, his mum tried him on every diet available but with no success. It was not until he found his eventual love of ‘working out’ that the weight was lost. In 1974, Josh captained his high school football team and also achieved 2nd place in the US junior national wrestling championships. Josh went to Union College in Schenectady, New York, where he graduated with a degree in Russian History. His first job was a conditioning coach for the Tel Aviv professional football/basketball teams.

In 1984, Josh moved to London to become an aerobics instructor in Covent Garden, where he was introduced to his first ‘major’ client, John Cleese. Many more followed and in 1986 Josh became the Director of Fitness at the famous Wentworth Club in Surrey.
Josh has over 25 years of fitness experience and the fact that he has been so successful is due to his simple but effective approach and his outgoing personality.
