AFFEKT is a pioneer for a unique approach to fitness that incorporates both comprehensive, engaging training and psychology + behavioral modification to change from the psyche, outwards.
Josh’s approach to coaching emphasizes advanced biomechanical concepts, precise exercise selection and the energetic / psychological aspects of effort in order to improve fitness and mindset from a holistic perspective. The way in which we weave this together is a groundbreaking approach towards better health, stronger bodies and more attuned minds.
This means —
a comprehensive approach to functional fitness
adaptable, robust training solutions
detailed, not overbearing technical instruction
creative & dynamic sessions that take into account health + longevity
health & wellness, nutrition coaching that takes into account individuality and psychology
We hate what the fitness industry has become, and we’re here to take a stand and make it better.
