Brendan’s BIO.

He/Him/His

Helping You Overcome Obstacles & Achieve Your Best Self

From a young age, sports were my passion, but when a chronic illness derailed my athletic career, I refused to let it define me. Through years of research, trial and error, and a commitment to my own health, I successfully reclaimed my strength and vitality. Now, I use that experience to help others transform their lives—because I know firsthand how much your health impacts everything.

I bring over 6 years of coaching experience, 7 specialty certifications, and training under top doctors and coaches in the Bay Area. My personal and professional background gives me a unique perspective on overcoming challenges—whether it's recovering from an injury, losing weight, or breaking through fitness plateaus.

My Holistic Approach

What sets me apart from other coaches is my holistic approach. Health isn’t just about fitness and nutrition —it’s about the whole body and the environment around you. Unfortunately, our bodies aren't adapted to modern life and its making us sicker. Disease is at an all-time high, ultra-processed foods dominate 60% of the average American's diet, and thousands of chemicals are incorporated into our food supply. I say this not to be alarmist, but to educate. Navigating these challenges can feel overwhelming, but I’m here to shoulder that burden and make your life easier. I'm not just a coach to count your reps— I’m committed to helping you improve your overall well-being in a sustainable way.

My Coaching System

I don’t believe in cookie-cutter programs. When you work with me, we start with in-depth assessments to identify any mobility, stability, or strength issues, and I create a plan tailored specifically to your body and goals. Whether you're looking to build muscle, lose fat, or improve movement, I’ll coach you every step of the way—inside and outside the gym. We’ll also focus on lifestyle factors, nutrition, and recovery. My goal is to help you not just achieve your fitness goals but thrive in a world that can make taking care of your health feel daunting.

Why Choose Me?

• Proven track record of helping clients build strength, increase mobility, and reach their physique goals.

• A science-backed, no-nonsense approach to fitness, cutting through misinformation in the industry.

• Positive, high-energy coaching that combines professionalism with a fun, supportive environment.

If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and finally see progress, let’s get started. I’ll help you simplify the process, so you can feel and look your best. Let’s build the strongest, healthiest version of you—together.

TESTIMONIALS. 

I've been working with Brendan for over 2 years now. Working with Brendan really elevated my commitment and my willingness to go the extra mile that no coach I had previously had been able to do. He is a super motivated and super motivating individual who provides the right structure, positive attitude, and energy for his clients. He is very disarming and makes me feel comfortable in my own skin, and does a good job of letting me know where I'm making progress and where I need to improve. Some of my biggest wins working with Brendan have been feeling proactive motivation even when I'm not working with him during our 1 on 1 sessions. In addition to that there was a 1 month period where I did a nutrition challenge where I saw results that I have never seen before in my life. I lost about 10 pounds in 1 month! I owe a lot of the way that I look right now to Brendan so I can’t recommend him enough for people that want to make some real change.

I started working with Brendan at the beginning of the pandemic, and it was one of the best decisions I could have made. He has helped me to build strength and change my body composition through a personalized regimen. Previously I have had a lot of anxiety around working out and nutrition, which has been an obstacle to getting in shape, but working out with Brendan, I have been able to consistently make progress without any of the anxiety I have previously dealt with. He is also super flexible and has been able to modify workouts and nutrition advice to suit various circumstances, including travel, stress & injury. Brendan is also super entertaining and personable, so working out with him is highly enjoyable.

Hi I’m Nishit! I’m a software engineer working at Facebook. I’ve been training with Brendan for 1.5 years now. Before hiring Brendan as my fitness coach, I had tried a few personal trainers intermittently. That had worked out ok but I was never really able to achieve the optimum results. I had managed to lose weight by training on my own as well but wasn’t able to build muscle and as a result, I got injured a couple of times and developed some aches and pains. Some fears I had about hiring a fitness coach again were whether I’ll still be stuck with sub-optimal results or get injured if someone trains aggressively. Training with Brendan actually made me realize that I can achieve more than I thought was possible given my past history of low muscle mass and various injuries. We of course have been able to achieve the desired physical goals so far but the biggest win for me has been the change in my mentality. I don’t have the fear of injuries and hesitation in going to the gym anymore that had bothered me for years. From my personal experience, someone who’s looking for a personalized and sustainable approach to fitness would really benefit from working with Brendan. Most of us in Silicon Valley are working in tech with a sedentary lifestyle that can lead to the aches and pains that I had developed. Brendan is amazingly able to navigate those difficulties and help in achieving the desired fitness goals.
