The ONLY personal trainer in Washington, DC confident enough to offer a 100% money-back guarantee on results.  You will get the body you want, or your money back.  Click here and scroll down for the details.


    Welcome to my web-site.  The photo to the left is what I look like now, and the one below is what I used to look like, and looked like for years! (click here to read more about my transformation)

    When I go to the gym I see people working really, really hard at things that could not possibly work, such as doing aerobics for fat-loss, crunches in pursuit of nice abs, or bicep/tricep workouts in the pursuit of great arms (YES, I REALLY AM SAYING THAT THESE ARE ALL BS!).  I wish I could go up to every single chubby guy I see on the treadmill and say, "sir, I've seen you trying to run your butt off for the past 12 months, and I hate to say it but it's not working.  It's not your fault, you're working really, really hard.  It's just that you're working hard at things that could not possibly work - you cannot find a sunset by running East.  Can I show how you can take the effort you are investing now, and make it really pay off?"


    Unfortunately, I can't, but now that you're here I can show you how to really get the body you want.  Click here and scroll down right NOW to sign up for my newsletter and you'll get the secrets to real transformation delivered to you twice-a-month for FREE.
    We hate spam just as much as you do.  You may cancel at any time, and we will never, ever share or sell your information to anyone else.  Ever.



"I have met literally hundreds of personal trainers and I think that Josef Brandenburg is THE best personal trainer in Washington, DC hands down.  If you live in DC and you are looking to drop body fat or to pack on muscle, then you need to hire Josef.  If you hire anyone else you are just throwing away your money.  Consider yourself warned."

"He is the best trainer in Washington, DC, he also happens to be the best personal trainer in Connecticut!"

"If you're reading this odds are you have a decision to make, continue doing what you're doing and be unhappy or start getting the results you want.
  A few months ago I was beyond frustrated: I was fat, spending my mornings and nights in the gym, working 65-70 hours a week, in the process of buying a house and trying to figure out how and when to propose to my girlfriend. And, I was about to turn 30. I decided enough was enough.
  I wasn't going to propose to my girlfriend until I lost all the fat I've gained the last few years. I read a few of Josef's articles published on T-Nation.
  After reading about his clients and his own transformation I knew I had to work with him, the only problem is I live in Connecticut.
  There it was in bold letters "Josef Brandenburg THE best personal trainer in Washington, DC" so I sent him an email anyway and he agreed to help me get RESULTS!
 

"Everything I read about Josef was true, he is the best trainer in Washington, DC, he also happens to be the best personal trainer in Connecticut!
  Josef put together fun challenging workouts that included working on mobility issue's I had, along with previous injuries. The BEST part is the longest  time I spent in the gym in one day was 50mins!!!! Along with the training program Josef gave me great nutritional guidance, not to mention AMAZING recipes!
  Josef is also a great guy who really cares. In 8 weeks I have made more progress than I have in 2 years! Look's like I'll be buying that ring a lot sooner than I thought."

-Scott Cremins, CT

(In his first 8 weeks he has dropped 33 pounds of body fat and gained 11 pounds of muscle... the story will continue)

The Best Personal Trainer in Washington, DC

Get real measureable results! If you want a glorified rep counter hire someone else. If you want results hire Josef. Here is a DC personal trainer who educates you about YOUR body, teaches you how to use your body effectively and designs a workout program that fits your life and gets results at the same time. His nutrition advice is simple, realistic and most importantly gets results. I have gotten rid of my rolls of fat, have a brand new wardrobe of cute, flattering clothes and look the best I have ever looked. I also am not dependent on any prescription drugs for high blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. My joints feel great and he has empowered me to be a consistent exerciser BY MYSELF. He is not trying to milk me for as many sessions as possible.

-Gail M., DC


I was a die-hard aerobics fan for years until I stopped seeing results. So, I started working out with Josef. I am now wearing clothes that I haven't been able to wear for 5 years. The clothes that I held on to hoping that one day I would be able to get back into them now fit and it is a wonderful feeling. I have given up my aerobics and Jazzercise for Josef and the body I want. He is great and the workouts are realistic and fun. I would highly recommend Josef to anyone that is looking for a DC personal trainer that get the results you want.

-Lori K., DC‎

Real results, as promised.

I literally lost 4.5 lbs. in the first week without starving
while following Josef's training and eating program. I opted to really focus hard in my first few weeks and thought I'd never be able to eat out and would be in the gym all the time, but with his help I've been able to make smart choices at restaurants and actually work out less, but smarter and more efficient, than when I was trying to do this on my own! The thing I like most about the program is that Josef provides you with supporting materials including a clear plan, workout guides with photos, and answers to frequently asked questions. I am impressed with how challenging the workouts are but they don't depend on having access to big sets of weights - they truly could be done at home at minimal cost. I feel he's setting me up to succeed on my own. I just wish I had started sooner!

-Brett T., DC

The Real Deal

Josef (The Body You Want) is the complete package – exercise, nutrition, body composition, and support and, most importantly, he keeps it interesting, challenging, and fun. Since working out with Josef, I have noticeably increased my muscle mass and cut my body fat by half – without living at the gym. Josef can really help you obtain the body you want.

-Ira C., DC‎

I am 52 and the last time I was in real good physical condition was about 20 years ago. Since then it's been a few workouts here or there or activities like bike riding and telling myself that was enough to allow me to eat and drink whatever I wanted. Last October, at 5-9 and 193 pounds, with 24% body fat, tired of aerobics that don'w work and Atkins diets that work only for a little while, I decided it was time to not just to lose weight but to shed fat and gain muscle, time to fit into some 32-inch pants instead of 38s or 36s ... time to look in the mirror and shake my head up and down instead of sideways. I found Josef's Web site and liked what I saw and, fast forward from October to now, I am at 172 with about 13% body fat and, whaddya know, actual body definition from the developed muscles that now strain at the skin instead of hide behind a layer of fat. Josef doesn't just come up with a personalized plan for you, he explains what it does and why it will work if you stick with it. He doesn't tell you you can drop the fat and gain the muscle by lying around watching TV or by popping some miracle pill, the only thing that works, he tells you from the beginning, is work. And proper diet (which includes real good food). And a good attitude. That one's easy to maintain when you start seeing results like these.

-Jim R., DC

I dropped 7lbs of body fat within my first 6 days! I didn't even believe it was true because it was the least amount of work I've ever put into a diet. At my first session with Josef he did an assessment and based on that assessment he had created a personalized work-out plan specifically for my body (all typed up and with pictures of the exercises as well!). So now when I go to the gym by myself I know exactly what I have to do. Before training with Josef, I would do cardio for awhile and then pretend to lift or do crunches. I had no idea what I was really doing, but now I feel confident when I work-out. Also, the diet itself is not too bad either. I eat plenty of good food and never feel hungry. Josef also gives you great recipes! Getting measured weekly and seeing real results encourages me to keep working even harder. Josef is a great personal trainer in DC, he makes staying healthy easy and fun!

Whatever your goals, you will be doing a great thing for yourself if you put your trust in Josef as your trainer. I've been going to the gym for years and years, but not until working with Josef have I seen such amazing results, which I started noticing within even the first 2 of working with him. The best part is, I'm spending less time in the gym than I used to (only 3 hours/week) and, following Josef's cutting-edge nutrition plan, I'm eating food that I love, and NEVER going hungry or restricting calories (and it's working)! Losing fat, gaining muscle, and transforming your body are WAY less work than I imagined with Josef's program. He's really shown me that working out hard has nothing to do with working out SMART. (And with all of Josef's education in the field and experience, he will definitely show you how to work out smart.) Plus, working out with Josef is just plain fun. I can confidently say that Josef is the best trainer in the DC area, and if you pass up a chance to work with him, you will be doing yourself a real disservice!
