In a recent episode of the Thinness of Hughes podcast, host Daniel Vadall, an Australian physiotherapist and calisthenics expert, interviewed Josh from Strength Side. Josh is making significant waves in the fitness industry with his innovative approach. Their conversation delved into fitness philosophies, the role of calisthenics, and the broader trends shaping the fitness world.
Josh’s Philosophy and Transition
Josh began by sharing his personal journey in fitness. Initially, he focused on trends and sought validation through popular fitness practices.
However, a serious injury—a torn meniscus—prompted a reevaluation of his approach. This turning point led him to shift from pursuing external validation to finding genuine enjoyment and fulfillment in movement. Strength Side’s philosophy now emphasizes using movement as a tool for self-discovery and personal improvement, rather than just achieving external goals.
