Joel DuBose's pathway to personal training began at the grocery store, where he found himself drawn to the bodybuilder magazines lining the shelves above the candy while waiting for his mother to checkout. A skinny kid, Joel wondered how the world-known bodybuilders like Frank Zane, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Lou Ferrigno (The Hulk), displayed on the covers built their bodies to such perfection.

Whether you're new to bodybuilding or have been competing for years, there are certainly roadblocks you may encounter. It's not unusual for even the most seasoned athletes to run into setbacks or progress plateaus when working out, such as not using proper bodybuilding techniques or losing motivation due to a fitness routine that has become stagnant.
As we age our bodies change, and staying active and making healthy lifestyle choices gets harder; we often experience a decrease in strength and flexibility, joint or muscle pain, bone weakness, or we just don't have the energy we once had. Without supervised strength training, the chance of falls and serious injuries seriously increases.

If you are in the market for a personal fitness trainer, then look no more! Dubose Fitness center is the place to be! I found Dubose fitness center about a little over a month ago via a google search! I had just lost my previous personal trainer due to a personal matter in his life and I wanted to keep the progress going, but I was having such a hard time finding the perfect trainer match for myself. Coming across Dubose Fitness and meeting Joel has been an absolute dream come true!! Joel is very professional, patient, detailed, and passionate about what he does!! Joel definitely knows his stuff

Joel Dubose is a very knowledgeable trainer. He trains you based off your individual goals and knows what exercises are best for you. I use to go into the gym thinking I knew what I was doing but I was obviously wrong, he thoroughly explains each exercise and the correct way to perform it. Thanks Joel Dubose!

DFC was a great experience overall. Each client is worked with on an individual basis through appropriate exercises executed properly to meet their personal goals, explanations of supplements, and custom meal plans. Joel is very knowledgeable about how to get the best results for each muscle you would like to work on. His knowledge of body mechanics helps you see great results without injury. The gym is equipped with top-of-the-line equipment and a trainer who actually teaches you to use them. Great experience & very cost friendly!

I am a middle aged female and former NCAA D2 athlete. I have been in gyms and weight rooms most of my life. I have used Joel DuBose as my personal trainer for about a year. I can honestly say that in the first few weeks, Joel taught me things that I had been doing wrong for a long time! Joel’s process is very deliberate and academic. He is passionate about his work.
I could not recommend him more highly. He has really helped me to greatly improve my fitness level and instilled a strong desire for me to continue on my personal path to improved fitness.

I had the pleasure of hiring Joel as my trainer and I enjoyed every minute of it. He is such a wonderful person, very helpful and he cares for his clients. He is very knowledgable and passionate about helping you with your fitness goals and he wants to see you succeed. I liked that he pushed me past my limits and when I wanted to give up he pushed me harder. I highly recommend him as a trainer and have much respect for him. I am very thankful that I found Joel.

Joel is a great trainer and motivator. He is also very knowledgeable in every aspect of a workout and how to properly workout. He provides a lot of good advice on how to live life the healthy way. I loved working out with him. I keep signing up for more sessions because not onlyis he a good trainer, his workout routines have already had an impact in my body and mind.

If your looking for that old school, throw as much weight on the bar mentality type of training, then your looking at the wrong guy. Joel debunks that way of thinking but creating a program that not only fits your needs but still challenges you. His knowledge of how the body works is amazing. I definitely recommend you check him out and see for yourself.
