Brian is a very dedicated and motivated trainer who will design a plan for you to follow given your goals and (possible) physical limitations. He is very attentive as you perform exercises and will change them if you have difficulties with some. He pays a lot of attention to your form. Not to forget his great sense of humor. More...

I saw Brian for about 8 months when he was at Stanford. Â He did a great job of focusing in on my specific issues and targeting them, as well as working on fundamental moves like squats and deadlifts. I always felt like he pushed me to my limit while still making sure that my form remained correct. And his sense of humor and motivating attitude is great so training was always fun. More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
By utilizing a comprehensive consultation procedure to ascertain your health history and fitness goals, I can readily design a customized, beneficial personal training program just for you. After assessing your body composition, aerobic capacity, flexibility, posture, and strength, I will prepare your training program designed to achieve your fitness goal such as lose bodyweight, increase strength or gain muscle mass. I will periodically reassess your fitness parameters to ensure you remain accountable and continually progress toward achieving your short-term as well as long-term fitness goals. ​​My training style emphasizes proper movement form and efficient technique accompanied by constructive, immediate feedback. Learning how to let your muscles control the weight and not the other way around is of the utmost importance during the performance of resistance training. Your training program will consist of concise individualized and professional instruction, attentive supervision, appropriate assistance, motivational support, and positive reinforcement. A good quality workout session should consist of movements which are FUN and EFFECTIVE.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
My approach to training is to have you push or pull more resistance for each movement from one workout to the next. Parameters such as number of sets, number of repetitions, rest period lengths, etc. are relative to your fitness goal (i.e., losing bodyfat, increasing muscle mass, increasing core strength, etc.). The weight lifted for each movement is based on your performance. If you can perform more reps than the targeted goal reps, then the loading for the movement will increase by about five percent in a linear periodized fashion. You will gain strength and muscle mass as result of this style of training.
