Training Services

We offer services for everyone, check out the list below and find what works best for you. If you aren't sure contact Brian for a free consultation and we will decide what is best for your needs.
If you think the price is too high realize that most people spend more than this at Starbucks in a 2-week period! Besides my time is limited and I can only fit in so many clients who want real results not gimmicks or fluff.
I take a somewhat holistic approach to training. I don't focus on just one area such as strength. Each training session will incorporate joint mobility for healthy joints, strength for toning muscles and/or building them if that is your goal, cardio conditioning, flexibility and as always free nutritional and lifestyle advice.

ATTN: Ask about my "1st Responder Discount" for Firefighters, Police, Military and EMTs. If you think you fit in this category but don't see your exact job, ask me. This is my way of thanking you for your duty to our communities, our country and the world.

1-on-1 Personal Training

This is for the new kettlebell user, athletes or anyone who wants private or specialized attention.

We will spend the first session evaluating and learning safe and effective lifting technique both with kettlebells and for life in general. This builds the foundation, and then in subsequent sessions we will use the kettlebells to get the best workout of your life! I use a variety of exercise equipment and drills to make training effective and fun.

The real value of 1-on-1 training is that it is totally customized to YOUR needs as opposed to the larger group classes that are for overall fitness.

If you participate in a sport that mandates certain training equipment (powerlifting, etc.) or want to use other training equipment other than kettlebells we will do that.

I also will provide free nutritional and lifestyle advice at the end of the training session as time allows. Pick my ear before you leave!

$34 per person for 1-hour training
Three sessions only $31 per hour
Six sessions only $24 per hour

Group Classes

For anyone who likes the fun and excitement of a group setting. Group classes will range from 3-10 people on average.

WARNING! Group kettlebell training is fun and addictive, you will never go back to aerobic classes again!

This isn't sweatin' to the oldies! We combine kettlebells, bodyweight exercises and sweat in a fun and intense interval style. Brian's unique approach makes the class challenging but flexible enough for individuals of all fitness levels. All Group Classes cover the areas of Joint Mobility, Strength, Cardio Conditioning, Muscle Tone, Fat Loss and Flexibility/ Range of Motion and Injury Prevention.

Additionally, Brian keeps the class sizes small so he can work with special needs, one person may not be able to do a certain exercise because of an injury. Brian will semi-customize this person's training in the class to ensure they work around injuries, etc.

What you can expect in a Group Class:
• Detailed instructions for safe lifting
• Safety Safety Safety
• Hard Work
• Ability to work at your own pace, fit or unfit, young or old doesn't matter
• Personalization in a group setting, for special needs such as injuries or personal goals
• Kettlebells, bodyweight exercises, foam rollers, real flexibility training
• Brian's good natured, fun and goofy personality
• A positive encouraging group environment, expect a high-five when you do something really good!

Tired of not reaching your goals?

Need a program to get started?

Ready to make a change this year and get noticed?

Need to break past a plateau in your training?

"I did this routine about 4-5 times a week for about 20-30 minutes each time. We also had discussions about my nutrition plan and Brian answered all my questions. We even talked about still allowing me a few cheat meals to enjoy the unhealthy foods that I love. After only 3-4 weeks on this routine I saw incredible results, I lost inches off my whole body! I was extremely motivated at this point because I lost 2 inches from my "tummy pooch" (anyone who has had a baby knows what I'm talking about!). I was amazed that I saw results like that in less than a month! Suddenly I had more energy and a boost of self confidence!"
- A. Vang

A complete fitness program for people who are looking for a "personalized" training program to meet their needs.

Strength, cardio, healthy joints, flexibility, nutrition and any special needs, even martial arts!

I work with the equipment you have access to currently; no need to go buy expensive equipment, a gym membership or a set of kettlebells (although a set of kettlebells WILL make you a better man or woman!)

I will evaluate your goals, nutrition, lifestyle, sleep patterns and stress levels and create a day-by-day exercise program and also provide nutrition guidelines custom built for YOU. Many people do not understand the demands that a hectic life or poor diet and sleep put on our body, I do and build my programs around your ability to successfully carry out the plan.

I highly doubt your local gym personal trainer will take this stuff into consideration assuming they even know about it!

"It is like having a fitness book written especially for you with your goals in it. What more could you ask for? Unlimited email access to Brian for your entire month? Sure that too!"

You are basically getting a Personal Trainer for an entire month at a huge discount. If a typical trainer charged $60 per session and trained with you 1 hour per day for 5 days per week for 4 weeks your price would be $1,200.00. Even if you saw the trainer only 3 times per week it would run you $720.00. OR you could wisely spend $199.00 with me and get a reusable program, customized to your needs, daily access via email and insider secrets I've spent most of my life learning the hard way. What do you think is the best use of your hard earned $$$?

My Training Approach

My personal philosophy is that if you are injured you can't exercise or enjoy life. So the first order of business is I teach new recruits how to lift safely and protect their joints at the same time. I use unique approaches from powerlifting, yoga, Physical Therapy, kettlebell sport, martial arts, the RKC school of training and more. Whatever is going to make someone safer and stronger is what I use. And no matter how advanced you are I will look for your weaknesses and areas that you can improve on and I WILL make you better, stronger, safer!


I deal with 3 main types of clients:

1. The hard-core men and women who want to get strong, powerful, build unstoppable endurance and injury-proof shoulders, back and joints for sport, work or just to be among the top 1% of people walking around who could kick some serious butt if trouble were to arise.

2. The man or woman who wants to get 'fit'. What does 'fit' mean, well that is up to the individual. That could mean lean and tone so they look good in a swim suit or that could mean strong enough to pick up the baby seat out of the back of the car easier.

3. People with back, shoulder or knee injuries or people who would classify themselves as 'out-of-shape'. People who need to develop a base level of strength, mobility and health in their body before moving onto more strenuous exercise and to just plain enjoy life without pain.

Each needs a unique approach both with exercise selection, nutrition/lifestyle advice and my own personality. I doubt very much that the woman in her 50's who is exercising for the first time in her life would want me yelling, "20 SQUAT THRUSTS!" at her. On the other hand the hard-core man or woman might not want me coddling them along, they want it straight, to the point and brutal, along with an evil smile of course.

Bottom line, I will ask you how you are motivated, by a supportive trainer or a trainer who barks commands, you get to decide. Different strokes for different folks.

How does personalized program design work?

"Thanks again Brian, like I have said, your detail put into the workouts is outstanding." Mike S. Vergennes, VT 

It's simple actually:

Step 1: Choose one of the personalized program design options above, 1, 3 or 6 month. You will be taken to my PayPal shopping cart where you can pay by any major credit card or by using a PayPal account.

Step 2: I will receive an email confirmation from PayPal showing that you have paid and which service you chose. I will then get in contact with you by the email address you supply to PayPal. If you wish you may also send me an email with your full name and preferred email address that I should contact you through.

Step 3: I will send you a list of questions to answer about yourself which you can email back to me. These questions will cover your goals and where you are at now. I will also inquire about your sleep quality and hours per night, your nutrition, stress levels, what equipment you have to train with, etc. Upon reviewing your information I will no doubt have some follow up questions which I will send to you.

Step 4: Once I have all of the information I need I will then begin creating your customized training program. I will also include nutrition advice. This could take anywhere from 5-7 days. Why so long, because this isn't going to be a cookie cutter program, I take your time and money seriously so it will be customized to YOU. I will email your customized program to you. It is like having a fitness book written especially for you with your goals in it. What more could you ask for? Unlimited email access to me for your entire month? Sure that too!

Step 5: Once I email you your training program I expect you to email me every Friday with you training log and any notable comments I should be aware of. I can provide a Microsoft Word template for you to fill out if you choose but it doesn't have to be anything fancy, just writing it in email will do. If you do not email me your training log do not expect me to remind you. I expect you to be an adult and take control of your own life.

Step 6: During this whole time you will have unlimited email access to me. As I used to say in the corporate training world, "there is no such thing as a dumb question, so ask away." I will answer promptly, I check email daily except Sunday, at worst it may take 2 days for a reply. If you do not get a reply from me then your email server is blocking my email.

Top Reasons Why My Personalized Program Works

#1 IT'S MADE FOR YOU:
The training program is personalized to YOU. It takes into account your personality type, nutrition, sleep quality and quantity, stress level in life, equipment you have access to train with, etc. Programs you get out of magazines DO NOT take these into account and don't even get me started on the training programs in the bodybuilding and men and women's health magazines.

#2 YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER:
If you know that you have to send me your training log (and possibly your nutrition log) every Friday, you are going to be less likely to skip a training session because you are tired or 'got busy.' Just knowing that I will be sorely disappointed in you and will shake my head will cause you to do that workout! Going at it alone is tough, having someone to be accountable to is the method for success that any successful program uses, whether it be overcoming an addiction or doing your workout.

Besides, who wants to send their journal to someone showing missed workouts and no progress? Keeping a training journal is worth the price of my services alone.

#3 IF YOU SPEND MONEY IT HAS MORE VALUE:
Have you ever known someone who was given everything but took everything for granted because they never learned to appreciate it and never had to work for anything? The again what about that person who didn't grow up with much and had to work hard for everything they have; they tend to appreciate what they have more. The same holds true of my service. You are paying money, this alone will make you respect your own time and dedication to this program.

#4 THE WORKOUTS ARE FUN AND CHALLENGING:
Let's face it, who wants to go spend hours on a treadmill? Boring! These training sessions will be brief, fun, challenging with enough variety to not get boring but not so much variety that you have no focus. Besides, nothing is more fun than making progress, read my client testimonials!

#5 THE PROGRAMS ARE BALANCED:
What happens when guys design their own training program? Bench press, dumbbell incline press, decline flies, pec deck, incline dumbbell curls, concentration curls, barbell curls in the squat rack (don't ever do that!) Does this look familiar?

What happens when women design their own training programs? Elliptical machine for an hour. If you get bored maybe you go to another machine that looks non-intimidating and easy to use. If you are feeling feisty then attend a step class. Does this sound familiar?

No, you should not be your own strength and conditioning coach, leave it to the experts. Unbalanced training programs will result in injuries and doing your favorite exercises or avoiding the ones you are intimidated by will only lead to frustration and lack of progress. My programs are balanced.

#6 THE PROGRAMS ARE BASED ON THE EQUIPMENT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO:
Want to train with kettlebells? GREAT! Want a program you can follow in the gym? GREAT! Want a program you can follow with your own body weight because you travel a lot? GREAT! While I love kettlebells resistance is resistance and you will get results. Some of my most successful clients used nothing more than their own bodyweight in their own home during commercial breaks from the favorite TV show, believe it!

Top Reasons Why You Should Sign Up for My Personalized Program Design

You have been training for years and are nowhere close to your goals.
You have tried to figure out what works on your own, and it isn't working.
You are not getting any younger, if you don't do something now when will you?
You are self motivated but don't know where to start.
You understand that training needs to be personalized but you don't know how to figure it out on your own and don't have the time to spend researching how to do it. (I've spent thousands of hours and dollars learning how)
You are sick and tired of being overweight, low on energy, small and weak; fill in your own sick and tired of ________; and you are ready to do something about it!
Your time is valuable and you don't want to waste it on something that does not work.
You are basically getting a Personal Trainer for an entire month at a huge discount. If a typical trainer charged $60 per session and trained with you 1 hour per day for 5 days per week for 4 weeks your price would be $1,200.00. Even if you saw the trainer only 3 times per week it would run you $720.00. OR you could wisely spend $199.00 with me and get a reusable program, customized to your needs, daily access via email and insider secrets I've spent most of my life learning the hard way.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personalized Program Design

Q. Do I need kettlebells to sign up for your program design?

No, I will work with whatever equipment you have access to, including your own bodyweight in your hotel room if that is all you have. Kettlebells are great but not the only way to make progress.

Q. Do I need a gym membership?

No, most of my clients do not have gym memberships. If you do have one and prefer to train at a gym, no problem.

Q. Do you design a custom nutrition plan also?

I give nutrition advice and will gladly give you tips and review your nutrition with you. However I don't give you a full blown nutrition program with a daily menu like I will with your training program. I will recommend my favorite though and provide you will calorie calculators, and many other tools.

Q. If I sign up for three months do I follow the same original program and just get 2 extra months of email consultation?

No, I will adjust your program each month you train with me to either keep your training fresh or to meet the new goals you have. Maybe month one your goal was to lose body fat and this month it is to gain some muscle.

Q. What if I don't know how to do an exercise you put in my program?

Well that depends. If it is an exercise that can be easily learned via pictures and written description I will provide that. If a video demonstration is required I can usually provide that over the internet as well, especially with my new video demonstration page. If the exercise is too challenging to learn without in-person coaching then we will use a different exercise. There are plenty of great exercises out there, no need to limit ourselves to just one.

Q. I am lazy, like to complain and blame others for my problems; am I a fit for your training?

Not on your life, go away! I only deal with people who respect themselves and others and am not interested in dealing with personal drama. If you are ready to make great progress and take responsibility for your life then don't wait, sign up now!

Q. Are your programs for women also?

Of course they are. At least 50% of my clients are women. Fundamentally women and men should train the same way. Check out Meagan G's testimonial!

Q. Why are your rates so high?

Frankly I don't think they are but anyway. I have spent thousands of hours and many years acquiring the knowledge that I have. I continuously increase my knowledge through ongoing training and application. You don't expect a Lawyer to take your case for free do you? You don't expect an Accountant to do your taxes for free do you? Then please don't expect a professional Strength & Conditioning coach to design your training program for free. It doesn't work that way my friend. Besides, I'd bet most of you spend more at Starbucks in a month than and that isn't even healthy for you. If money is an issue give up something you do that is unhealthy and swap it for this; you won't be disappointed. Try it for a month and you will be glad you did! What is the price for good health and reaching your goals/dreams?

Additionally, this is not a cookie cutter program I am designing for you and it is not a bodybuilding magazine program. I address your weaknesses and teach you how to use your body correctly to generate the most strength and joint safety possible. I often will teach little known techniques that 99.9% of the personal trainers out there don't even know.

Q. I don't have a PayPal account can I still purchase your services?

You can pay by regular old credit card from my PayPal shopping cart, no need to have an account. If you don't have a credit card or PayPal email me and we will work out another method of payment.

Q. Do you offer a money back guarantee?

If you follow my recommendations to the "T" and send me your journal every Friday and still don't make any results then yes, I will give you a 100% refund. Please be honest with yourself and don't blame me if you were not really following my recommendations exactly. Also be realistic, if you have been overweight for your whole life you are not going to be skinny in 1 month. I take a longer-term healthier and realistic approach with my clients.
