"I totally recommend her 100%"
"I have been working with Brenna since August of 2019 not only to lose weight but to become a healthier version of myself. She is so knowledgeable at what she does, has many years of experience and is an overall awesome person! I can’t honestly put a price tag on everything she’s taught me about losing weight, eating correctly and maintaining the weight off. I have lost 25+ pounds since working with her and have been able to maintain it off with her coaching and guidance. She has so many programs to offer. If you have been having trouble finding a healthier lifestyle or losing weight, I totally recommend her 100%! It is never too late to invest in your health!"

"She will get you amazing results!"

These photos show the results from a client I worked with for 8 months in preparation for her wedding.
Just look at how CONFIDENT she became by her eighth month of training with me! She is rocking that hot pink dress and you can see from her body language she feels beautiful inside and out. During that 8 months we went from little-to-no exercise to training 5-6 times a week. This client stayed committed to weekly check-ins and following a diet suited for her macros and caloric needs. She had a net loss of 18 lbs! That means she lost a healthy 2.25 lbs per month. She lost 4 inches in her waist, 5 inches in her hips, and 4 inches in her thighs. Never once did she starve. Never once was she a cardio junkie. Everything was gradual, sustainable, and all about health first. |
"Please check out Brenna if you're trying to get healthier or fit! She’s an amazing coach and will get you amazing results! She has taught me so much about health and fitness. She’s very passionate in what she does!" - P. Ventura, San Jose, CA

Rockstar Mom Lost 15+ lbs
|
Words will never express how badass this mother is. Seriously you have no idea. She has two boys, one with special needs, and a demanding job that requires her to do double shifts at a prison. She is a ROCKSTAR. One of the strongest and hardest working women I have ever met.
She certainly transformed her body. In four months she lost 15.7 pounds. She had an average weight loss of 3.925 lbs per month. That is incredible. If she continues at this rate, she will lose 31.4 lbs within the year. I believe she can do that, don’t you?? |
|
Additional measurements:
She did all of this while nursing, eating lots of food, doing minimal cardio, and completing short and effective circuit workouts from her home. This woman deserves some “whoot whoots” and high fives! This is what it’s all about: living a lifestyle that is healthy and manageable where you just keep chipping away. What a champion! |
"Brenna is not only one of my best childhood friends, she’s an amazing woman, mom and soon-to-be wife!!! She’s also one of the best personal trainers I’ve worked with. A few months ago I was in a funk and didn’t know how to approach going back to the gym, emotionally, mentally and physically, so I called her up! With a combination of workouts, nutrition and mindfulness I was able to feel unstuck again and shake the funk."

"Been doing-it-yourself with no results? Do yourself a favor and hire Brenna today. You'll be amazed at your progress in just 6-12 weeks!"
- JM, Santa Cruz, CA
This was a very special client. The reason she was so special is because our main goal was to help her reduce body fat and her overall BMI so she could become pregnant. Not only did she drop 20lbs, but she became PREGNANT! She maintained a fit and healthy lifestyle through her pregnancy and in September of 2018, she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy! Talk about a success story!

"Working with Brenna has done so much for me that I find writing a sufficient testimonial and 'thank you' to be near impossible! |
Despite what sounds logical, this was not the moment I decided to hire Brenna. I decided to "do it myself" - because I just needed to eat healthy and exercise, right? Why pay someone to help me when the advice is so simple?
Well, although it was simple, and although I have studied nutrition a decent amount, I still did not have the in-depth knowledge of how to build my meal plans properly in order to supercharge my efforts. I also did not know anything about how to design a work out plan that was sufficiently challenging and exciting. And the major element that I didn't have was accountability.
Brenna brought all those elements and more to the table. But it took me two years to pick up the phone and call Brenna. My "do it yourself" method had just resulted in two more years of gaining flab. Meanwhile, I admired the Before and After photos of her clients that Brenna shared in her newsletters. Now I get to be one of those Before and After success stories!
Brenna's nutritional coaching and meal plans (with great food swap options) made all the difference. For the first time in my life, I lost weight (20 pounds!). My "fat pants" became too big to wear, and I got back into my skinny jeans, going down 2 belt notches!
I learned delicious ways of eating that we still use in our household today. I finally learned how to use gym equipment and properly weight train, and I'm not intimidated to step into a gym anymore - it's actually fun! Consistent weight training also relieved my back and hip pain; my body got strong enough to support my structure properly.
If you've been in "do it yourself" mode with no results like I was, do yourself a favor and hire Brenna today. You'll be amazed at how much progress you can make in 6-12 weeks!

"Looking to get healthier and more fit? Reach out to Brenna!
As a former client of hers, I know that she is truly passionate about fitness and wants to help more women feel and look their best."
💪 - N. Yue, San Jose, CA
"Working with Brenna has been nothing short of a fantastic experience. I had been fit and active for most of my life, but as it sometimes happens, fell into a horrible slump. I stopped working out and developed highly regrettable eating habits. Seeing all the work I needed to do to get back to where I felt healthy and fit again was very daunting. Trips to the gym were discouraging, sporadic, and I felt like I would never get back to that place where I was happy in my own body.
When I finally decided enough was enough, I contacted Brenna. Best decision I made in a LONG time!! Brenna is very welcoming and easy to talk to. Despite her incredible breadth of knowledge and award-winning physique, you will find no ego or condescending attitude here.
We discussed my goals together and next thing you know, I was following a meal plan that I loved as well as a workout routine that was varied, fun, and highly effective. Everything was so easy to follow which was crucial for me because I was already so discouraged.
Throughout the entire experience, Brenna was always available to answer any questions and to encourage me along with her positive attitude and support. I actually didn't realize how important that aspect was, but having her with me every step of the way made the journey feel more achievable and also kept me enthusiastic throughout the process.
In six weeks, I went down a dress size, and I am fitting into jeans that had been taunting me from the hanger for over a year. Though weighing myself was not really a priority, it turns out that I lost ten lbs. However, the number on the scale is really not as indicative of the progress, or the way I look and feel. I am loving the way my arms and shoulders look now. I love the way my old clothes fit and I am excited to go purchase many new outfits! I'm feeling healthy and fit again!
I'm about to start my next six weeks with Brenna and am even more excited for this next step! I can't recommend Brenna and the service she provides enough. Thank you, Brenna!"

Major shifts in just 6 weeks
|
Pictured here are results from a client after just four weeks of participating in my Six Week Course: Know Your Macros. In just 4 weeks she went down 7 pounds and 4 full inches in her hips and almost 3 inches in her waist! That is incredible.
By the end of the 6 weeks, she had these major shifts in her measurements: Waist down to 27.76” from 29.5", hips down to 32.5” from 36.25", and a net loss of 10.3 lbs! Her results were fully earned. She is a hard working, full-time graduate student with a job. She managed her macros to a T nearly every week. She made time for her workouts. She never complained. She was focused and super positive. Her dedication to her diet and fitness plan was how her body transformation happened. |
"Brenna helped me learn to eat to perform"
After I had my daughter in 2009, I wasn’t able to maintain a healthy weight as easily as I had been able to in the past. I had never exercised regularly and did not have a well-balanced diet. I decided I wanted to change my lifestyle not only for weight loss and toning but for my overall wellbeing, particularly for stress reduction, energy levels, and nutritional reasons while breast feeding. I wanted to learn more about how to focus more on my nutrition and how to cater my diet to my body's needs. That's where Brenna came in to my life!
She wrote me meal plans along with exercise tips. I was already following a pretty rigorous exercise regimen but she gave me specific things to add. She also outlined vitamin supplements for me take which I think help me immensely, and I still continue to take them religiously. I also included apple cider vinegar at Brenna's suggestion, which I think really helped my sugar and soda cravings.
Brenna's meals were simple for me to prepare with only a few ingredients which helped with planning for the week. I learned to eat more throughout the day and was never hungry as long as I planned ahead. I also learned to have good snacks ready as a back up when needed, so I didn't fall back on bad habits (which are readily available in teacher break rooms!). Brenna helped me learn to eat to perform. I learned more willpower to resist temptations and not feel guilty when I declined certain foods offered to me.
After following Brenna's meals plans for 12 weeks and using her workout suggestions, I continued to lose body fat and weight, all while building my skeletal muscle. By the end of June I was down from 141.2 to 137.8 lbs, 28.1% body fat to 26% body fat, skeletal muscle up from 30.9 to 31.8, and my fat mass down to 35.82 from 39.6!
I have a much better idea of what foods to eat, how to plan my meals, and how to keep my carbs, protein and fat balanced for my body. I still follow variations of her meal plans and have been able to maintain my progress and continue to learn how to eat to fuel my body to stay as healthy as possible. I have started setting goals for myself whether it be to run a 5K or learn a new skill to help me stay motivated."
