Josh Bates - Prevail Conditioning

Meet Josh!
Josh here. I grew up here in California and came to Santa Barbara in the early nineties to attend UCSB as an Electrical Engineering major. Since graduating, I’ve worked as a Developer at several local software companies. I’m married, no kids.

When did you start coming to Prevail?
It’s been so long, it feels like I’ve always been coming…… since March, 2012.

What impact has training at Prevail made in your life?
I originally came to Prevail Conditioning with the goal to stop getting fatter. It has been effective in that regard, providing me with a program that keeps me moving, and feeling good. I’m definitely stronger, with more energy, and better overall mobility — although there’s always more to do!

Do you have any words of encouragement or tips for somebody new to exercise (or restarting)? Find what motivates you to work out. For me, it’s a great trainer to keep me doing the right thing and motivating me, a fun group of people to share the experience with, and a kick-ass soundtrack.

What are your hobbies?
I love spending time with my wife, going to concerts and movies, traveling, and playing video games.

What is your favorite movement/exercise?
Favorite movements: Anything cool-down – I successfully made it through another work-out! Least favorite: Split-anything – I’m probably struggling not to fall over!
