Move Moore - Ringwood (VIC)

5 /5 Mitchell Arbuckle: For all my life Ive been a skinny guy and no matter how much I ate, I just couldnt put on any mass. Ive always been active and fell in love with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from my early twenties. I figured the gym would help prevent injuries and ensure the longevity of this hobby I want to do for the rest of my life. Id never set foot in a gym before and decided that as I progress from my late twenties into my thirties and beyond, I need to maintain and future-proof my body. When I had a call with Josh, I told him my expectations. I was keen to train with him and promised myself that I was going to commit to his plan that he gave me which was a lower/upper split, training 3 days a week. This worked perfectly within my busy schedule. Before starting, I had imbalances in my back muscles (from a previous injury when I fell off a skateboard) and a sore lower back. Since training with Josh, those issues have gone away. Josh has a similar shared passion to mine in Jiu Jitsu and tailored specific workouts that include a range of motion movements and compound exercises that compliment the various positions that your body goes under in Jiu Jitsu. Ive learned so much from training with Josh. There are so many details I would have missed if I wasnt training with him and Im sure I would have messed up my joints if I had chosen to figure it out by myself. I went from 64kg to 74kg in less than a year and continued to train with Josh for a total of 18 months. To anyone feeling stuck in a similar situation, I can confidently say that perseverance pays off. The investment in Move Moore and training with Josh was absolutely worth it. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to make significant progress.

5 /5 Arianne Lahza: i trained with josh for only a short time, but he managed to make me feel confident in the gym and confident enough to go on my own when i never was before. he kept me motivated and actually made me enjoy going! usually i’d give up after a week or so but with josh i would consistently train and the workouts he gave me were tailored to me and my skill set. would definitely recommend !

5 /5 Judy Ritchie: I’ve been training with Josh for 9 months, and he is one of the most experienced & committed trainers around! He has extensive knowledge of the body, an eye for detail and an appreciation of the human body in motion. Josh also has a massive interest in nutrition and has guided me through the best ways to build muscle and loose fat. He has focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging and fun. My fitness has increased, and I’ve seen massive improvement and growth in my glutes and shoulders. Ive been progressively lifting heavier weights & now push myself harder throughout each session. I actually look forward to my workouts! And never thought at 52 I could make huge improvements. There is no way I would of achieved these massive changes without Josh.

5 /5 Michelle H: I have been training with Josh for almost a year now. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in my 20s and even with medication I still experienced joint flare ups and pain. Josh was the first person to give me advice on strength training to help protect my joints. It was only after I mentioned it to my rheumatologist doctor that I had begun strength training that he encouraged it too. Training with Josh has been so valuable to me. I was amazed by his in-depth knowledge of the body and muscle physiology but after having a few conversations with him it’s clear that he has a true passion for this area. He has taught me a lot about my own body. The programs that he writes for me are flexible but also very tailored to my fitness goals and every session is focused but enjoyable. I now hardly feel joint pain and the flare ups are much less frequent. I even shock myself with the level of energy and strength I have to run around with my 2 young kids now. Josh always maintains a very professional manner but he’s also great for a chat. I am really thankful I took this fitness journey with Josh. I can not recommend Josh highly enough!

5 /5 Tara Sian: I trained with Josh for a couple months to get me back into the gym and to rebuild my confidence after injuring my knee. Josh took the time to really dive into my goals and my whys for wanting to get back into the gym. He not only focuses on the physical aspects of the gym but also the mental aspect of training and takes a very wholistic approach to his training which I really appreciated. He was always very easy to talk to about any issues that came up and always made changes when required. He’s definitely a harder trainer so if you’re looking for someone to get you results and you’re willing to put in the work I’d 100% go with Josh. Personally as someone with a chronic condition I found it was sometimes too hard so we had to make changes to accommodate. Overall I’d definitely recommend Josh for someone who’s looking for someone who’s going to be dedicated and willing to work for their goals. He’s also a good laugh so you’ll have fun training :)
