Our Trainers

Josh Golden:
I started lifting weights at age twelve. In high school I played sports and continued to lift every day. I played football, baseball, and pole vaulting. I also wrestled, where I placed third in the state of Maryland. After all of my schooling I helped open and managed a personal training gym in Washington DC. I always implemented different high intensity movements into my training. It was not until I moved to Hollywood in 2011 that I joined my first CrossFit gym. The day I joined was the first day of the open and I placed 122nd that year. The following year I moved to Central Coast to work at CrossFit Grover Beach. There I continued to train and went to the Regionals in 2012. The following year I entered as many competitions as I could, including the OC throw down. This year  I opened up a box, CrossFit Nipomo where I have kept my head down and focused on weaknesses, mainly weight lifting. My girlfriend, Casey Hutnick is an excellent Olympic lifter. With Casey's help and the help of my Coach Charles Shipman from Be Strong Athletics, I have made huge gains in technique and I am excited for this coming competition season.
