If you're looking for a personal trainer, look no further. Brian is the perfect person to work with. He caters your program to meet your fitness goals.

I went to Brian to begin my fitness journey with the goal of getting bigger. He started my program off slowly to ensure that I get the form correct before going to heavier weights. He closely pays attention to how you perform your exercises, areas that you're struggling with, and guides you through ways to improve it. During my time with him, I injured my shoulder from a work event and he was able to alter/ switch my exercises so that it wouldn't impact the injury while it was healing.

He is incredibly knowledgeable with the exercises and areas that it is working out. Brian is incredibly personable, motivational, and down to earth. I only saw him for three months and would've continued with him if I didn't have to move for work.

I've been training with Brian for about 1.5 year now. He's very dedicated, fun to be around, and attentive. He emphasizes proper forms, postures, and techniques; so you're engaging your muscles effectively and preventing injuries. You can learn so much from him.

He pushes you, but at your pace, and gets you to gradually level up with diverse work out plans and intensity. His training allows you recover properly, so your not super exhausted or sore, but actually have energy and motivation to come back for more sessions throughout the week.

A year ago my spouse and I started going to Brian to build a strong foundation in strength and fitness, and we're very happy with the progress we've made! We're much stronger, feel better on a daily basis, and have dramatically reduced pain and discomfort from our fairly sedentary jobs.
Working with Brian helped me turn exercising from an activity that we dreaded to one that we really enjoy and make time for. We're really grateful for the progress that Brian helped us to make, and are very happy with our investment into our own health and well-being. I definitely recommend Brian if you're looking for a trainer in the area!

Brian is a great trainer! I have been training with him since 2020. He carefully creates workout plans that are tailored to my needs and goals. He spends time not only on helping me through the exercises, but also educating me on the importance of good form and proper nutrition. I will admit that I was nervous to start working out again, but Brian does an amazing job helping me build my confidence!

Brian is an excellent trainer who takes a science based, data driven approach to his programs. If you are willing to put in the work, are diligent about sticking to your workouts and maintain a healthy diet; Brian will put you in the best position for success. I can not say enough about the positive results that Brian has helped me achieve. Reaching my fitness goals is now a routine event and we are constantly moving the bar further to challenge me. Brian will challenge you not only physically but also mentally... many lessons which are directly translatable to the real world. If you are looking to not only transform your body but also your mind and life then pick up the phone and give Brian a call you will not regret it.

I’ve been training with Brian for about a year now. During my 20s, I had a consistent workout routine – mostly group exercise classes (yoga, pilates, cycling). But then came the pandemic plus stress from work and personal life. I didn’t exercise for almost two years, and it was affecting both my mental and physical health. I tried to exercise on my own again, but after a few months, I realized I wanted something a bit different this time, which led me to Brian.

I was researching personal trainers near my area and found Brian on Yelp. He had great reviews from his clients and many years of experience so I decided to reach out for an initial consultation. He was super friendly and approachable. We talked about goals and expectations and scheduled our training sessions, which started with a thorough assessment.

I never had a personal trainer so wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I’m so grateful I started this journey with Brian. Brian is the most supportive, patient, and encouraging trainer. He is very knowledgeable and committed, constantly learning through various certifications and continuing education. His workouts are hard. He pushes you just the right amount, enough to challenge you while maintaining proper form. Since training with Brian, I feel so much stronger and healthier. I lost fat, gained muscle, and lift heavier than I ever have. Highly recommend!

I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to train with Brian. He's respectful and encouraging, and he tailors your program to your goals, always explaining his recommendations in a helpful way. I've learned so much in our time together.

With Brian, I never felt judged or shamed, and I hope to be able to work with him again. Highly recommended!
