Today we’d like to introduce you to Joseph Paige.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Joseph. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I started my journey to fitness in my home of Polk County Florida where I played football and basketball as a youth. As a young boy, I struggled with obesity and sports became an outlet for me and gave me confidence in myself. I went on to play football at Pima Junior College and the University of Arizona. Like most of my teammates, I had dreams to enter the draft and play in the NFL but through many professional tryouts and NFL combines I came to realize that was not a part of my journey. I played for five seasons in the Canadian Football League before retiring back to the states and starting my company, Re-Start Fitness. I brought Re-Start to Texas about five years ago and have been privileged to have many enriching experiences in my new home.
I am a husband and father of 4 and I am strongly dedicated to God, my family, and sharing the benefits of being active, fit, and healthy.
Re-Start fitness is a company that promotes nutritional wealth in communities that have historically been deprived of such. We strive to create opportunities for athletes to maximize their skills in order for them to use those skills to be a greater benefit to them. We promote people in our community to get active and have to ability to live the lifestyles and have the bodies of their dreams.
At Re-Start fitness, we believe that every day is another chance at greatness and it is NEVER too later to re-start your journey or even take the first step.
Has it been a smooth road?
Struggles are a natural part of every human’s life, so naturally building a company has many struggles. Finances, support, and maintenance present challenges each and every day. But as an athlete, I learned to persevere through any challenge that life may present. I learned that if I put myself in the right position, on and off the field, I can face any challenge in the eye. I may not succeed every time; but if I fail, my opponent better be aware of round two. Because, through my growth, I will prevail. I love what I do, I love the change that I help people pursue, I live the growth that I see in my clients, and therefore I MUST love the challenges!
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Re-Start Fitness – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
Myself and my wife, Jessica run this company as a dynamic duo. I am a certified personal trainer through NASM, certified as a nutrition specialist and corrective exercise trained. Re-Start fitness offers weight gain/loss assistance to our clients through meal preparation, meal planning, and personal training. We also offer services to athletes of all ages and development levels. We have had success in sports specific training for individuals and teams, position training, as well as speed, explosives, and agility training. Re-Start fitness hosts clinics, classes, and individual sessions to meet the needs of any person in the community looking to be fit, active, or just refine the skills that they already possess.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I am a Florida native, so the ironic thing about me settling in Dallas is that growing up, Texas athletes were our biggest competition. In the locker room, you would always hear the coaches say, “Them boys down there in Texas are getting ready for you.” It feels so refreshing to be here in a city where parents, coaches, and athletes invest so much in their development and success. Dallas is a land of growth and opportunity.
