Brendan’s BIO.
He/Him/His
My journey started as an athlete, but a chronic illness forced me to rethink everything. I spent years reclaiming my health through research, trial and error, and a relentless commitment to understanding the human body. That experience now fuels my mission: helping others overcome obstacles and transform their health.
With over 7 years of coaching experience, 8 specialty certifications, and mentorship from top doctors and coaches in the Bay Area, I bring a unique blend of expertise to my clients. My background as a physical therapy aide and certified personal trainer has given me deep knowledge of injury prevention, rehab, and movement correction, what I call “prehab.”
What Sets Me Apart
Most coaches focus on sets and reps. I take a whole-body, real-world approach. Your health is shaped by more than workouts: it's your environment, nutrition, stress, and how you move through life. Modern living stacks the odds against us. Chronic disease is on the rise, ultra-processed foods dominate our diets, and hidden toxins surround us. I help you cut through that noise.
How I Coach
I am a high-energy coach that brings enthusiasm and passion to every session. We will absolutely get to work but I'll also make you laugh along the way. Every program starts with thorough assessments to uncover mobility, stability, and strength imbalances. From there, I create a personalized, science-backed plan built around your body, your goals, and your lifestyle. Whether you want to build strength, improve movement, lose fat, or break through plateaus, I’ll guide you every step of the way.

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.

A very satisfied client
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.

Personal training with Brendan is awesome. He is highly motivating and very conscious of individual goals. I find that my time with him is far more productive and efficient than it would be otherwise. His personalization to account for specific strengths/weaknesses/injuries is something I would not have been able to find on my own. I've been nothing but happy with the level of service.
