Personal/Small Group Training

Born and raised in the Berkshires, James is a graduate of Wahconah Regional High School where he was a three-sport athlete. While pursuing a degree in graphic design at Framingham State University he dabbled in various service and retail jobs, but eventually realized his true passion was fitness. A lay-off in 2010 gave him an opportunity to pursue his passion and he spent the next 10 years taking on various roles within the fitness industry, including personal trainer, group fitness and SPIN instructor, strength & conditioning coach, a brief stint as Fitness Director at the Community Recreation Association in Dalton, and Head Track & Field Coach of his alma mater.

James has a deep appreciation for the unique diversity and natural beauty of the Berkshires, and can often be found enjoying it on a run, a bike ride or a hike on the Appalachian Trail with his wife. He finds fulfillment in helping others and his favorite part about working at Bousquet Sport is the opportunity it has given him to meet our many unique and wonderful members. He feels very welcomed by this community and considers it a pleasure to serve them on a daily basis.

Josh holds a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from the University of New Hampshire. Over the past dozen years he has worked for industry leaders like Canyon Ranch, Equinox NYC, and Miraval. He holds certifications in TRX, Schwinn Cycling, kettlebells, rowing, and yoga, among others. He is currently pursuing a NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist certification.

Josh is also a USA Cycling Coach and the Zwift Race Director for Virginia’s world-ranked Blue Ridge Twenty24 team. He has been a racer himself for almost twenty years. His proudest personal moment was overcoming a DVT and pulmonary embolism, and capping off a successful 2022 season with his eleventh overall team win at The Josh Billings Runaground alongside his Allen Heights Veterinary teammates.

What brings him to life is sharing his knowledge, achievements, and setbacks to help others move towards and reach their goals.
