Born with Cystic Fibrosis, Josh was given 10% chance of surviving his first night due to complications. Growing up, he was told he wouldn’t make 30. Now 35, he’s a World Record Holder, Speaker & Performance Coach.
At 29, he completed the ‘Worlds Fittest Man Challenge’ to become one of only 5 in the world.
The following year on 29th September 2018, he became the first and only man to lift 1,000,000kg’s in under 24 hours to raise awareness for cystic fibrosis, beating the old record by over 500,000kg’s.
In December 2022, Josh launched Lift Club, a community to help Lift 1 million people. Focussing on the mind, body and health, Josh is on a mission to help people all over the World through weekly content, online programs and group coaching.
The community is now 14,000+ strong so if you want a Lift, sign up below.

Throughout multiple fitness challenges and events, Josh has raised over £850,000 for Cystic Fibrosis charities. In 2018 Josh founded CF Warriors, a children's charity which sends out 'Warrior Packs' to children all over the World to motivate them and help them feel part of a team.
He was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at birth and at the age of 2, was fortunate enough to meet Dr Bob Kramer from Dallas, Texas. His advice to Josh's parents was to 'run his legs off' and exercise always needed to play a big part in Josh's life to keep him fit and healthy. Now 35 years on, he is the fittest he's ever been.
CF Warriors sends out between 30-50 Warrior packs per month and since its inception has helped to raise awareness of the benefits of sport and exercise to thousands of families around the World.
