Joshua Ballenger

Josh has been an active member of the military for over 10 years. He served in both the Marine Corps and the Army earning him a wide and deep connection within the military community.

A former track athlete, Josh was able to compete on the U.S. Junior Olympics team. Some of his personal bests are; 3200m: 9:45.3, 1600m: 4:54.3, 800m: 01:52.8, 400m: 52.4.

After leaving track and joining the military Josh was introduced to weightlifting to increase his ability to effectively perform his duties as a Marine. Falling in love with the sport and developing a new drive for competition, Josh was able to achieve two state championship powerlifting titles under the USAPL and is currently an avid competitor in CrossFit community.

To deepen his commitment to fitness, Josh obtained a B.S. in Exercise Science and an array of professional coaching certificates including; CF-Lv1, TASC-F, Army MFT. This education coupled with his own personal experience has enhanced his coaching ability to bring some of the most dynamic and effective programs to Tactical Athletes.

Adaptation is one of the deadliest tools we can develop as Tactical Athletes. Featured is one of our athletes David, crushing a deadlift PR at a body weight he hasn't seen in awhile. 💪🏼 @daveyh_24 has been one of our athletes for awhile now and he consistently exceeds the expectations put before him. While Dave has been focusing on endurance, we are quickly finding out that he is also a powerful athlete. The most impressive feature that Dave brings to the table is his willingness to learn and be coached. Be like Dave, and DM us for science based programming! #midwestmade #tacticalfitness

We put in the Work. "Best Non-Commissioned Officer of the year was awarded to Sgt. Gilmore" Shane has been one of our athletes for almost a year now, and when he first approached me he was apprehensive to having a coach (most people are). Nonetheless, Shane had a desire and a fire in his belly to achieve some pretty big goals in his military career, and he knew his chances were much greater with help. After nearly a year of working together, he still finds ways to amaze me. Its his effort that seperates him from the pack. #midwestmade #leadfromthefront
