Josh Bostick

Josh was first introduced to CrossFit in 2012 while attending Auburn University, and he quickly developed a deep passion for both the training methodology and the community behind it. In 2013, he earned his CrossFit Level 1 Certificate and began coaching as an assistant at CrossFit on the Plains.

As he moved across several states over the years, Josh consistently stayed connected to the CrossFit community. Along the way, his training evolved, and he developed a strong focus on Olympic weightlifting. As a competitive weightlifter, he has participated multiple times at the national level in the USAW American Open Series.

In 2021, Josh joined Blackbird CrossFit after relocating to Maryland with his wife. Since then, they’ve welcomed two wonderful children into their family. Josh is passionate about using his role as a coach to be a positive role model—not only for his kids but also for the broader gym community.

Now a CrossFit Level 2 Trainer, Josh is excited to bring his experience and knowledge to both CrossFit classes and Barbell Club, helping others pursue their goals with confidence and purpose.
