LGBT Fitness Retreats by Ketanga

Everyone is always welcome on a Ketanga Fitness Retreat, but when FITNUT founder, Josh Grimm approached us about creating a special series of LGBT / gay retreats, we thought it was a great idea. Why not build a safe space where like-minded people come together for fitness, adventure and relaxation? That's what Ketanga is all about!

Josh is passionate about helping others achieve their fitness and health goals as well as giving back to local communities and supporting LGBT rights. And as an avid traveler himself, these retreats have been the perfect combination for Josh to embrace his passions and provide unique experiences to guests.

Meet Coach Josh Grimm

Josh has been training and coaching private clients in New York and Los Angeles for almost ten years, helping them to achieve superb results in strength building, weight management, toning, conditioning, and corrective rehabilitation.

Being well versed in resistance and functional training, Kempo karate, plyometrics, boxing, and bodybuilding, Josh strategically pushes clients in a multi-dimensional training style.

Josh developed his brand, FITNUT, after beginning six months of volunteer work in Cambodia at children's orphanage houses. The children's strong will and positive energy motivated him to bring some of that into his work. His passion for travel and giving back is what drives his brand and motivates him to be the best trainer he can be for his clients, and he donates 5% of his earnings to charities. Josh has visited 40 different countries over the past seven years which he feels makes him marketable and accessible to a multitude of clients. Today, he is an ambassador to the Cambodian Community Dream Organization in Siem Ream, Cambodia and on the board of hu:MANE – a charity co-founded by his partner and others that give back worldwide via mission work to the impoverished.

Josh Grimm is a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Certified Personal Trainer and a International Board of Nutrition and Fitness Coaching (IBNFC) Licensed Nutrition Counselor from the Venice Nutrition Medical Board.
