Today we’d like to introduce you to Joshua McDade.
Hi Joshua, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I was a former athlete at Texas State University and played for three years. While my time playing for Texas State, I wanted to make an impact on campus and to people and athletes who looked like me. So I began getting involved in the community around my college talking to middle school and High School Athletes becoming a known student-leader on campus. Once Covid-19 hit, I came home from my internship at Walt Disney World and wondered how can I make an impact in the new normal we will be ushering ourselves in now? So early 2020, I started training athletes I knew in my neighborhood and community. I knew I loved working those guys out and the atmosphere I created working them out plus the conversations we would have. So I decided to start TotalFitness which offers both athletic training and personal training programs. All my life, it’s been about making others around me better as a leader in my community and TotalFitness allows me to make than impact in the city.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has not been a smooth road! I’ve encountered challenges both personally and professionally. I would say having my daughter in august was the most difficult because I now had to reorganize my priorities with her being my first. Professionally it was difficult developing my facility where I train my clients. Making sure I am able to create a safe but extreme experience and atmosphere where my athletes and personal training clients can walk out healthier and more elite than when they walked in.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
TotalFitness is my gym. I offer Athletic Training from coaches who have either played at the college level or professionally. I also offer personal training for clients who want to meet their fitness goals and learn the benefits of living a healthier lifestyle. What sets us apart is the people we have in place and our prices. I want personal training and athletic training to be affordable where you can get better and become a more elite athlete ready for the next level of your game. Pricing for our personal training is usually discussed after the free assessment and prices for athletic training are on our website.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?

We love to get involved in our communities around the city and educating people about a more healthier lifestyle and talking to athletes about the athletic goals and helping them reach them. We love to make lasting impacts for the City of Houston!
