Fueled by Passion, Built by Strength
Fitness is more than just following a routine—it’s about breaking barriers, both mental and physical. I specialize in rucking, ruck training, and sandbag training, providing one-on-one coaching to help you push past obstacles and achieve real, lasting results.
But before anything, I’m a husband and a father to two beautiful girls. Family is my foundation, and my passion for helping others fuels everything I do. Whether it’s guiding clients through their fitness journeys, training in Jiu-Jitsu, or rucking every chance I get, I believe in living life with purpose, resilience, and grit.
Together, we’ll design a program tailored to your goals, addressing what’s holding you back and building a stronger, more resilient you—inside and out.

“Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” Romans 5:3-5

MY FITNESS JOURNEY
My journey began in early 2013. Determined to start the new year right, I stepped on the scale and was shocked—189 pounds. At 5’10”, I knew this wasn’t healthy. Years of junk food and living for the weekends had taken a toll.
I tried the usual fixes: diets, gym memberships, quick-fix programs. But nothing stuck. I lacked the knowledge, discipline, and support to create lasting change.
Everything shifted in late 2015 when I joined a support group with like-minded men. By the grace of God, I found a community that challenged me to look inward, ask tough questions, and grow—not just physically, but mentally and spiritually. Through self-examination and shared struggles, I discovered my passion for helping others and developed leadership skills that would shape my future.
This transformation—of both body and mind—ignited a deep desire to help others experience the same. I began training family and friends, pushing limits, building discipline, and instilling leadership. And from that passion, Joe Baker Fitness was born.
Now, I dedicate myself to coaching others through fitness, rucking, and mindset training—helping them break through barriers and build strength in every aspect of life.
