I started my journey about a year ago I was looking for someone to help me with getting in shape losing weight and I met Brad. We started working together and I was shocked how much I can actually eat and not feel hungry, but then also losing weight and getting a leaner at the same time. Brad help me with accountability and with balance of what to eat and when to eat it. He checked in, he was punctual and we went through the menu for my meal plan many times to adjust what I like and I did not like. I really enjoyed working with Brad and I highly recommend him as I have been interviewed numerous other trainers and personal nutrition coaches. He is by far the best value and as long as you stick to the plan, and you’re honest, which is probably probably the hardest part, then you will succeed. I ended up losing 20 pounds and decreasing my BMI by 5% and a span of approximately 90 days. I feel much more energetic and healthy. My primary physician even gave me some compliments as to my progress. Truly appreciate your guidance and keeping me on track most of all holding me accountable. Thanks man!

Brad has been both a great nutritionist and fitness trainer. He is very responsive to different diet and athletic restrictions. His personalization makes it easy to keep up with the diet and the exercise regime each week. Beyond that, it’s a great value compared to in person trainers. 10/10 recommend

My trainer is Jennifer and I LOVE her! She listens to me and tailors our sessions to my needs. I feel like she prescribes the workouts to my body type, ability, and personal goals. She is incredibly personable, easy to talk to, and fun to train with! I have never enjoyed exercising or working out until I got a (semi) personal trainer. Now, I love it and I feel like it’s effective and helping me achieve my goals.

I’ve worked with both Brad and Joel. For Brad, he was very professional and sincere in wanting to help me. I was able to go from 24% to 21% bodyfat in 2 months time. He helped me get back to tracking my food and doing workouts regularly. I do wish the workouts could have been more intense, and following the maintenance calories could have been emphasized more. For Joel, he helped me go from 21% to 19% bodyfat in 2 weeks. The workouts were much more intense, albeit too intense for me at times. Follow up from Joel could be improved, as well as internet connection, but overall a good trainer, especially if you want more intense workouts.

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We have a funding program that makes our premium packages more affordable to clients that normally couldn’t have received the premium VIP service we offer. (Master Trainer) Since 2003- (Nutrition Certified) since 2012
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I take each new client under my wing...and spend a lot of time with them. I help them customize the perfect meal plan according to their Height, Frame Size, & Lean Weight. We also start Results Tracking of Bodyfat..BMI..Weight...and Inches lost. I then start what I call Shaping U 101 with them. This is where I patiently teach them the correct form and way to do several exercises that most NEW clients have the most trouble with at the start. These are exercises like Squats, Bent Over Rows, Lunges, and several Ab type exercises. I make sure they feel comfortable and that they get the best training possible. And of course the best Results possible. Whatever it takes! :)
