Being in the fitness industry for 20 years and after working together for five years I am confident to say that Josh Rifkin has gained and applied so much knowledge to help athletes in search of maximum performance in their sport, or any individual looking to feel and move better. He is a creative expert in the field of corrective exercise, high performance, ELDOA among other modalities.

My son, Tommy, worked with Josh over an entire summer while in Austin, Texas. The first lesson was a revelation in the best sense possible. We asked for a lesson on overheads and serve returns. What we received was world-class instruction on not only how to execute it but the purpose behind these strokes. As Josh would say it, “The overhead is meant to be a finishing shot if you want to be a national player. You have to have the mindset that you earned this shot and you’ll end this point here“. What most impressive about Josh is that for such a young age, he has incredible insight into the mindset of a player. It’s not hard teaching strokes but teaching a player to think like a winner is something entirely different.
Beyond his on-court expertise, Josh has great interpersonal skills. My son, Tommy is very shy, but Josh has a way of making Tommy laugh and see the sillier side of tennis. Training can often be hard and even grueling, but having a coach who brings humor can be uplifting. We’ve had dozens and dozens of coaches over the years. Of all those coaches, we only keep in touch with a handful. Josh is of course one of them. We feel fortunate to have met him and worked with him.

For improving your body, routines, habits, mindset and much more; Josh at Synergistic Body is as good as it gets. He’s extremely knowledgeable, but great at bringing explanations to an understandable level. The workouts are tailored to fit your personal needs post assessment and you are given motions and workouts to do on your own. Josh makes working out fun while keeping you motivated and focused. He is extremely friendly and can make talking about tough topics easy.
Personally, Josh has changed the future of my golf career. I previously had two wrist surgeries, which left me uncertain about the longevity of my attempted professional career. Josh has worked on my wrist to where I can, for the first time in 4 years, practice and play without pain. As well as tailoring my workouts to better suit my overall well-being, Josh has helped me with a nutritional and supplemental plan to help me achieve my goals.
If you’re looking to make a positive change in your life, Josh at Synergistic is the person to see!

There are few people in this world who are willing to go the extra mile like Josh Rifkin. I had the privilege of having him as my daughter’s fitness coach for over 4 years. Her intense tennis playing required just as much fitness training as on-court playing, and Josh was constantly seeking different ways to make her strong and keep her protected from injury. Josh wanted Abigail to have all the help she could get to be her best. He worked with our chiropractor to know exactly what muscles needed strengthening, he connected us with world-renowned specialist in hormones, he taught her nutritional regiments, and walked beside her in many struggles as her personal life coach. Josh always took time to keep me, the parent, updated on progress, and we worked as a team to get the best results possible. Josh was a life saver for us, and we will forever be grateful for all of his knowledge, compassion, and professionalism.

Josh is the best performance trainer I have ever worked with. Every session is the perfect balance of challenging and fun. His unique style of coaching helped me gain the flexibility, mobility, and strength I needed to be able to compete at a college level. Aside from being a great coach, Josh has been an amazing mentor and friend. He was instrumental in helping me navigate the college process and made sure that I was truly happy with my final decision. To anyone who is looking for a great trainer, mentor, and friend I would strongly recommend Coach Josh.
