Introduction: At Kitch Health we take a holistic approach to health and fitness by focusing on the process of obtaining results rather than the final results. Achieving your goals is a process; it will not happen overnight. It is important to set realistic, clear goals that are communicated and understood. We will provide you the tools, guidance and education in order to achieve your goals. Unlike many health and fitness companies that only address the byproducts or symptoms of unhealthy habits such as, weight gain, excess body fat, cardiovascular disease, etc., at Kitch Health, we help individuals understand the actions that lead to this unhealthy state, and provide guidance to foster change. Throughout life there are many obstacles that us as human beings encounter and must overcome. There are peaks and valleys just as varied as the terrain in which we walk. It is not without self-awareness, that we are able to understand, appreciate and learn from these moments enabling us to continue to grow. One of these valleys in my life forced me to face my ego; I was young, unstoppable, and distracted. It got to a point where neither I nor anyone else could recognize who I was. I had lost the discipline I learned from martial arts at a young age, something my father started teaching me before he had left our family - I had lost myself. However, if it was not for me losing myself, I would have never started down the path to find myself. This moment in my life sparked the truth of it all. It is not what is at the end of the path, but the path itself that reveals who we really are. Through this understanding, Kitch Health was born.

I hired Brandon in 2010 when I was at my heaviest weight and dealing with personal stresses that prompted very unhealthy eating behaviors and no motivation to exercise. As a result of his coaching he connected the bridge of living a fit life with self-awarness and fulfillment. Brandon taught me how to eat and exercise for my behaviors and body. I was so pleased with my results, I contracted with him for various media and corporate fitness projects!

I truly have enjoyed participating in Brandon's Fitness Rehab classes. You can always count on a high energy, intense work out. I always have left the class drenched in sweat because I felt that I was pushed to the max. I also have met some great people by attending the classes. I am just sad that I live so far away I don't get a chance to go to anymore classes. Thank you Brandon for a great experience :)

Brandon was a highly motivational personal trainer. Under his training and guidance I reached a level of personal fitness I never thought I could achieve. Your success with him is only limited by the commitment you are willing to give. He is highly skilled in competition preparation and has mentored others who have gone onto great success.

6 stars! If I could give Brandon only ten I would request for 11. He was fantastic, and believe it or not I had FUN! Yep I said it!...I HAD A BLAST WITH MY PERSONAL TRAINER. He is extremely knowledgeable and kind, explained everything to me and even set me up with a meal plan and workouts to do on days I wasn't with him. He would check in on me later in the day via email or text to see how I was feeling, what was sore and what I could do to relieve the soreness, My little sister was extremely jealous of the results I received with Brandon in 12 sessions. Her trainer was falling very short. I had hired Brandon for a cruise I went on in January, but I am actually asking him to come back and still train me because of how much I learned, how great I felt and well yes how great I looked too. I was very impressed with the results. I felt that their were times I was at the gym and people were jealous of the fun workouts we were doing and the fact that he was very involved during the workouts. I did workouts with him I have never done. He pushed me to my limits, that is for sure and that is exactly what I paid him for. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Brandon for a trainer. He was the complete package and help I was looking for. Meal Plans, Printed Workouts, he knew my body type, what I needed, wanted and he delivered great results. Not the typical boring workouts you may see the PT @ the gym offering. His are energetic, fun, and utilize your whole body. I can't wait to work with him again soon. My workouts will never be the same now. Thank you Brandon!

I had no idea what to expect my first session with Brandon - I've had personal trainers in the past, and didn't feel as though I took much from the experience, so I didn't expect much more than having someone to whom to be held accountable. Brandon has totally and completely changed my mind (and has hugely elevated the bar)! He is incredible! Not only did we (myself and a friend) have one session with Brandon, we bought a full package of ongoing sessions. Not only is he knowledgeable within his craft, he is really intuitive, and is excellent at tailoring programs to the particular individual's needs, wants and goals, and of course he's very helpful in setting those goals, pushing us to our limits and helping us realize we're a lot more capable than we thought before. I have an old injury, have been afraid of working out for years, and he talked me through it, and I feel stronger and healthier in just a few weeks than I ever have before. I highly recommend Brandon for your personal training and nutrition needs/goals/wants. Thank you Brandon for everything, and I hope continue to work with you for a long time to come.

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes always. I am a member of several continuing education organizations such as IDEA, ACE (American Council on Exercise), I renew my certifications through the IFPA (International Fitness Professionals Association) and the ISSA (International Sports Science Association) every two years. I read and write daily articles for the public on health and fitness. I attend quarterly educational seminars and intend on continuing my education with a master degree.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Health and fitness has always been a large part of my life that started through martial arts when I was eight. My father taught me the importance of conditioning the body and mind. I carried on his teaching and went on to receive beyond black belt status competing in PKC (Professional Karate Committee) tournaments. I then ventured into bodybuilding in order see how far physically I could challenge myself. This lead to several NPC (National Physique Committee) competitions. I feel challenging the mind and body is a good thing as longs as its done in a healthy way.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I recently was asked by the Little Red Door Cancer Agency to design a corporate wellness program for their employees with little or no cost to the organization. In doing so I was able to develop a business model that exceeded their expectations. The wellness programs was designed to progressively guide people towards developing a solid foundation for a sustainable healthy lifestyle. The on-site personal training at provided at Little Red Door was mostly functional training maximizing the amount of muscles used during an exercise resulting in the most efficient workout possible. The program was designed quarterly focusing on these aspects: Physical and Mental, Body Fat Loss and Water Consumption, Exercise and Relaxation, Healthy Eating and Stress Reduction. The business model was so successful I have been able to implement the program into two other companies.
