Today, Philip (@witsandweights) talks with Josh York, the dynamic founder and CEO of GYMGUYZ, a mobile in-home fitness training provider with over 150 locations across 30 states and three countries.

Discover the journey behind GYMGUYZ's rise to a global fitness brand and their unique in-home training model.

From a simple idea at his parents' dining room table, Josh catapulted GYMGUYZ into an international fitness phenomenon, featured on the Inc. 500’s list of fastest-growing private companies.
