40 Under 40: Joshua Jarmin

Joshua Jarmin is a U.S. Marine sergeant who served in Iraq and came back to Atlanta after his military service in 2012 to open a fitness studio. Before his service, the Northern Virginia native taught at a charter school in East Atlanta for at-risk children. Five years ago, Jarmin opened Blueprint Fitness in West Midtown as a studio offering small-group personal training.

He is an active volunteer in the Atlanta community, regularly assisting with Habitat for Humanity builds and holding fundraisers for charities such as the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. Jarmin also volunteers at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, where he dons a Superman costume and visits patients.

The Buckhead resident was named to Jezebel magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful Atlantans list in 2012 and attends services at The Temple.
