Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Joshua Haag. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Joshua thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. We’d love to hear the backstory of how you established your own practice.
Health and wellness were always my passion and a part of my life. When i first came to Los Angeles i was incredibly lost. I ironically stumbled into being a trainer at the gym one day while training my brother. From there, the rest is history. An incredible series of events happened where i pursued and almost made a professional NFL career, and was given the opportunity to shadow some of the best coaches in the world! This allowed me the knowledge and skill sets to create the businesses that i have today!
Id say the biggest challenge so far has been trying to morph myself from being an incredible tactician, to an entrepreneur. By this, i mean that i am skilled and naturally want to do the skills that im good at, however, to grow i have to practice and master skills that are new to me!
My advice for young professionals would be dont forget to be present. If youre feeling lost, or trying to find your way, the path or opportunity might be right in front of you! The hardest part is taking the leap. However, don’t wait, just do and figure it out along the way!
Joshua, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Put simply, my companies are an all encompassing health and wellness solution.
Our flagship is heroic performance. With this, we are a holistic functional performance company. We do everything from PT/ body work to nutritional counseling and training. I took the immense knowledge i gained from shadowing some of the best coaches in the nation during a try to make the NFL, and put it into what i see as our methodology! I now have a team of incredibly talented trainers fully mobile all over the la area! If you are looking to change your body and life, we are the ones you come see! Also, keep an eye out for our gym coming at years end!
Our second company, Heroic Meals, is a booming meals company! I decided to take nutrition one step further and use my background as a sous chef to create healthy, all fresh, never frozen, organic when possible.. delicious meals! With my executive chef now at the helm we are not only doing meal prep delivery, but moving to serve the general public as well on grub hub, Uber eats, and DOORDASH! If youre in the need for something delicious, but still keeping with your fitness goals, we are your solution!
I would say, when it comes to problems we solve, it would be anything dealing with your health and wellness needs. If you want to lose weight, have pain, are afraid of your body, feel lost, or an athlete getting ready to take the next step, were going to take you there!
I would say thus far, im most proud of my team! Without a question, it has been such an adventure beginning to groom them and see their successes. As they grow i see there challenges i faced each and every day! I love having the opportunity to be able to coach them through it an shortcut their success.
I think i want my fans followers and clients to know some simple facts. First and foremost, I love what i do, and i love my clients like my own family. It is truly an honor and beyond fulfilling to be able to be a part of their journey each and every day! I know my team all feels like that as well because we talk about it daily!
I know you may have a lot of choices in la for health and wellness, and i love that about this city. When the time is right, my door is always open and my team is ready to help!
Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?
I teach my team two simple ideas. The first, is to leave your personal baggage at the door. When we enter someone’s home, workout, or area, the hardest thing to remember and focus on is THEY need our help. All too often, we are surrounded with stress and heaviness. As trainers, i teach my team to be the light in the darkness for each person they see! Of course, you talk personally with them, but always in the effort to bring them up!
Secondly, i really emphasize the thought of becoming more! I challenge my team each and every day to break out of their shell and strive to find more in life personally and professionally. We have a conversation often about “what do you want” and i ask them to dream a bit. I believe all to often we are turned off or shut down by the world, told you cant, and eventually give up. Im here to help build something incredible with my team each and every day! And i firmly believe that
Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?
I have committed myself over the last 2 years to becoming a marketing master. I have hired coaches, i have built systems, and i commit myself daily to cranking the wheel! I understand that growth comes with blood sweat and tears, and i am striving to achieve that!
