Brendan is a personal trainer accredited through the American College of Sports Medicine.  Having discovered his love for exercise at an early age, he is the kind of trainer who enjoys sharing his passion and enthusiasm with others.  He holds a degree in Exercise Science and Human Physiology from the University of Iowa with a focus of study in Athlete Performance.

With experience as a trainer dating back to 2014, Brendan has helped clients with a variety of different ability levels reach their fitness goals.  His clients have found outstanding success in areas such as

  • Muscle/strength gain
  • Sport-specific strength and conditioning
  • Weight management
  • Joint rehabilitation/functional movement

Brendan’s ideal client is anyone who has a vision of what they want and is willing to follow the path to achieve it.  Having spent years involved in competitive bodybuilding as well as sports, he values the dedication and consistency it takes for someone to earn what they want out of their time in the gym.  He views the trainer/client relationship as a true partnership, and he enjoys working alongside his trainees to take them beyond where they thought was possible!

In his spare time Brendan enjoys writing, drawing and painting, fishing, cooking, and spending time with his friends and family.

“Working with Brendan was one of the best decisions I could have made in my bodybuilding journey. His attention to detail is second to none – nothing slipped past him, whether it was training form, nutrition adjustments, or the smallest tweak needed to bring out the best on stage. What stood out most was how adaptable he was; he didn’t force me into a rigid, cookie-cutter plan but instead worked with me to find what fit best for my body and lifestyle. That flexibility made the process not only effective but also sustainable.

Stage prep is notoriously grueling, but Brendan somehow made it an enjoyable experience. His guidance turned what could have been a draining grind into a rewarding and even exciting process. Thanks to his coaching, I walked away not just with a win in my teenage bodybuilding show, but also with a much deeper appreciation for the craft of bodybuilding itself.

If you’re looking for a coach who balances precision with adaptability, and who knows how to make the toughest parts of bodybuilding both manageable and motivating, Brendan is the one you want in your corner.”

“Working with Brendan has been one of the most transformative experiences of my fitness journey. Over the course of 6 years, I have competed in multiple Men’s Physique competitions, he has taken my training, nutrition, and mindset to an entirely new level. From the first prep to my most recent show, Brendan brought out my best — not just physically, but mentally as well. He is a great trainer and friend. He is an awesome person to have in your corner!”

“When I am in the gym and I had any nutrition questions or training advice Brendan is the guy I go to because I have been on a prep diet for men’s physique and he has helped me get off 10 lbs in 2 weeks and even before that I have seen time and time again what happens when you put your trust into Brendan”

“I approached Brendan in late 2024 about training for a competition. He started training me in early 2025. I went on to place 1st in my class, 4th in masters, and qualified for nationals at my first NPC bikini comp. This is all due to Brendan’s coaching, guidance, and support. He not only has the knowledge, he also brings a positive attitude and encouragement every step of the way!!!”

“I have been working with Brendan for more than a year now. I started working with him when I was 194 lbs and with his program I lost more than 30lbs and got all the way down to 160! He provides a top of the line training program whether you are looking to lose weight or bulk up. His diet plans and training programs make you work hard and believe me when I say it pays off!”
