Josh Harowitz

Once Josh was finally able to accept the sad truth that he was not going to be an all-star in the NBA, his focus shifted outward to helping people achieve their own personal goals. With a passion for helping, educating and empowering people, Josh knew that his career would be centered in the health care industry.A UBC graduate with a degree in Exercise Science from the Faculty of Human Kinetics, Josh brings over six years of experience in both personal and athletic training as well as rehabilitations settings. He feels his experience with such a wide scope of people, ranging from the UBC Men’s Varsity Basketball Team to senior citizens with total hip replacements, is what truly allows him to work alongside his clients in helping them to improve.Josh specializes in movement assessment and restoration. He believes that proper movement is a cornerstone of physical health, injury prevention, and athletic performance. “There is a reason why we practice fundamental movements while at the gym. Take squatting, for example: sure it’s nice to be able to squat a heavy barbell, but the reason we practice is because it is a movement we do hundreds of times every day. If we move improperly countless times throughout the day or on the field, our risk of injury increases wile our performance decreases. I truly believe that the gym is practice for real life. This is a belief I try to instill with my clients – everything we do has a purpose.”
