I have known Brandon for almost 4 years - and they have been there through all my struggles always have a kind word, and at the same time pushing me to excel and achieve. I have had lots of problems with my weight. I have had a rollercoaster ride with my weight due to injury and health issues. Brandon has worked with me through all of the trials and the challenges. I consider Brandon to not only be my trainer - but a friend.
I am a marathon runner having finished 6 full marathons and 9 half marathons since October 2000. Brandon works with me to meet my run goals by customizing my workouts to help me target my running goals. We focus on an all-around fitness routine and I joke with Brandon that he is my conscious when I really want to break down and eat something that is not right for me. I hear her as a little voice in my head.
One other great thing about Brandon his flexibility in working with my schedule. I travel a great deal for my job - and he is always willing to fit his availability to my availability and that makes my life much easier. He has also worked to develop a workout plan for me to use when I am not at home.
I am very happy with my success at Body Works! I have seen a 15lb loss of body fat in the last 4 months and inches lost as well. As an insulin resistant person, that is a MAJOR achievement for me. I spent 9 months pounding my head against the wall of doctors before we figured out what the problem was. During the entire ordeal - Brandon was there for me, supporting me and helping me research possible solutions.
If you are looking not for "a trainer" but for an organization that will a) help you set goals, b) help you work to achieve them and c) work with you when things are challenging (and anyone who has had problems with their weight knows what I mean) - you have found the perfect place to be - Body Works Personal Training!!

I have been with Body Works for about six months and every month I have had positive results toward my goal. You might think, "Why are you still with them?" Or "Can't you do this on your own?" For me, Body Works, provides a positive, motivating, and energetic atmosphere, where I feel I can reach my goals of physical fitness. They listen, encourage... okay push me. They make me feel I can do better.

When I came to Body Works in January 2010, I was 5'10", 220 pounds, and totally out of shape. I wasn't happy with the way I looked, and I definitely wasn't happy with the way I felt. Although I couldn't do much at first, Brandon worked with me to increase my strength and endurance. Now, I am over 50 pounds lighter, and so much happier! Body Works has changed not only the way others view me, but it has changed the way I view myself. I recommend Brandon to anyone looking to make a positive life change - in mind, body, and spirit.

I've been training with Brandon for nearly four years now, and he's always remained positive and encouraging - whether I go up or down in weight. It seems I live in chronic pain from Osteoarthritis and Tendinitis and Brandon designs my workouts to my abilities and continues to keep me motivated and wanting to come back. His combination of strength training and cardio works great for me and I've seen improvement in my stamina and endurance. He works with me one-on-one without rushing me and makes me feel like a valued client. Brandon will do whatever it takes to help you succeed with your weight loss and/or fitness plans.

I have been training with Brandon for about 3 years. With his knowledge of physical abilities, nutrition needs, strength and cardio training, I look forward to my workouts. If my goal is to lose weight, he will encourage. He suggests keeping a food diary, but doesn't scold or cajole if it isn't done.that is my choice. His workouts keep me agile, build my strength, and keep me toned. I enjoy working out with Brandon.
