About Me
About Me
My name is Joe Uphoff Jr, the owner of Joe Puff Fitness. I am a lifelong resident of the suburban Philadelphia area, and I was always a sports and fitness enthusiast. It wasn’t until I became a 20-year-old undergraduate at Villanova University that I decided to make resistance training a part of my daily regimen.
With little formal help and a lot of trial and error, I was able to transform my physique from an overweight and out-of-shape college kid into a leaner, stronger, and more muscular version of myself.
After graduating with a B.A. in Sociology from Villanova University in 1997, I realized that I needed to put my enthusiasm and effort into helping other people with their own fitness journey.
I started my journey in the fitness industry in September 1998, when I was just shy of 24. I obtained a national certification from the American Council on Exercise (ACE) back in May 1999. Now that I’m 47 years old, I have more than 23 years of experience in successfully implementing safe and effective programming that yields results for people of all ages and ability levels.
In addition to helping others achieve their fitness goals, I am a competitive powerlifter who has garnered 14 top three finishes in the 181lb and 198lb weight class. My most recent first place finish in the 198lb weight class was in the 45–49 age group of the WNPF organization.
At Joe Puff Fitness, whether you’re new to an active lifestyle or a gym rat, my customized programming and extensive experience will help you improve your fitness levels and live your best life. Get your fitness journey started today.
Testimonials
Testimonials
“I started working with Joe in 2016 following a serious head injury and major surgery. I was (and luckily still am) a competitive rower at age 60 but at that time unsure if I would ever get back on the water. Joe patiently worked with me, at first using only exercises that supported rehabilitation, but eventually moving on to full scale workouts. 9 months after surgery, I was racing again. I’ve been working with Joe since then and he has
become an integral part of my training program.”

“It has been my pleasure to train under Joe Uphoff for the last 8 years at various locations. His efforts have made it possible for me to maintain excellent health, and enhance my strength and mobility, despite battling the inevitable effects of aging, as well as several medical issues. I always feel refreshed after a training session with Joe, and his tailored approach has kept me injury free. In addition, Joe is an affable and optimistic fellow, making my hour long sessions with him both fulfilling and enjoyable.”
