Meet Joe Valdez of PTBYJOE STUDIOS in S. Scottsdale

Today we’d like to introduce you to Joe Valdez.

Joe, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
It started with working out and bodybuilding posing with friends, like back in the Arnold Schwarzenegger era. After that, it just grew bigger and bigger. I realized that helping people achieve their fitness goals was my calling, I quit my job at the time and went head first into personal training. I specialized in pre and postnatal women since I still needed an income, (and have you ever heard a post prego female say they didn’t want to lose weight?). From there, it grew to strength and conditioning, boot camps, etc… and now, my wife and I own our own gym.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No, being the new kid on the block was rough. I started training clients for free just to get my name out, We didn’t have social media back then so it was all word of mouth.

PTBYJOE STUDIOS – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
I’m known for teaching posing and presentation in the competitive physique industry in all the divisions from bikini to bodybuilding. My wife and I work with each competitor one on one to perfect their presentation to showcase their physique the best to the judges. As a brand, PTBYJOE is known for the posing classes we hold every Sunday at the studio but what makes us unique is the classes we hold at the theater which is a real theater they can be on stage and practice and get a feel of what it will be like before they compete. We are the only company that offers this to the competitors and their coaches/trainers to see what they look like before they step on stage. It’s a win-win for everyone!
