We are getting married!

Janelle and Joshua first met while working as Personal Trainers at Pro Club in Bellevue. Joshua had already been at Pro Club for two years when Janelle joined the team. Although he had sworn to his friends that he would never date a coworker, fate had other plans. As a member of the team responsible for training new hires, Joshua was tasked with helping Janelle get up to speed, and that’s how their paths first crossed. Janelle’s initial impression of Joshua was marked by mild amusement—she’d already met three other “Josh’s” that day and couldn’t believe there was yet another one! On the other hand, Joshua’s first memory of Janelle was hearing her voice from across the room, which instantly piqued his interest. As they got to know each other, Joshua discovered that Janelle had competed in Division 1 basketball and volleyball. Eager to test her skills, he challenged her to a one-on-one basketball game. To his surprise, he was defeated 21-13, and from that moment, their story truly began. Janelle and Joshua share a deep passion for fitness and enjoy living life to the fullest in the Pacific Northwest. Surrounded by their active circle of friends, they spend their time at sporting events, board game nights, family dinners, and participating in every ball sport imaginable. The duo has claimed victory in multiple pickleball tournaments, conquered several Hoopfest (3v3 basketball) events, and played in coed flag football. Their shared enthusiasm has also led them to play various forms of volleyball, squash, as well as biking and hiking adventures—the list goes on. The couple has been together since 2016 and, after nearly a decade, they’re excited to take the next step and tie the knot. Both have since moved on from their roles as full-time Personal Trainers at Pro Club and have established themselves in new careers. In June 2020, they welcomed their beloved Goldendoodle, Kobe Bear, who has been an integral part of their journey ever since. Joshua and Janelle can’t wait to celebrate their wedding day surrounded by their closest family and friends.
