Train Better Fitness

I have worked with a few personal trainers through out my life and I can say that Brad Hawkinson at Train Better Fitness stands head and shoulders above them all. I also know that when I hear something like this, I always ask «why». So, let me tell you why I think Brad and his program stands apart form the others I have seen. (this will be long so, I will summarize it for those who prefer the short version and then give you the details.)
1. Brad is customer focused!
2. Brad’s execution is outstanding.
3. Brad’s program is comprehensive and customized to your fitness level and goals.
4. Brad is one of nicest and hard working guys you will ever meet.
Here is the detail…
First, Brad is customer focused in a way I have not experienced before with other gyms. He demonstrates this at every turn in his business. From the website that provides a great introduction to his response when I first contacted him (he called me back within a few hours and then followed up with an email right after that) to the customization Brad provides for my individual needs, this guy is focused on the customer! He spent time listening to me and my goals, doing a thorough assessment of my abilities and goals. I then signed up for the trial (another way to be focused on the customer!) and within hours he had me set up on his website where I could track the available sessions I had with him, schedule the times I would meet with him, and then automatically get emails with an iCalendar file in it that I could add to my calendar. The next day, when I went to meet with Brad he had a program designed just for me and made a record of each exercise throughout the workout. I also travel quite a bit and never know when I will be in town. When I presented that to Brad, he didn’t hesitate at all. All I get from him is that he will put together a solution that works for me!
Brad’s execution is also outstanding. He is positive, and has an energy about him that is engaging and encouraging, but ins’t intense in that way that can be overwhelming. He does a thorough job of demonstrating each new exercise before you start and then coaching you through it to make adjustments. He pushes you to get stronger but not to far so you don’t get injured or spend 4 days recovering from the workout. His approach is also comprehensive. He doesn’t just put together a work out, he puts together a program that prepares your body for the workout, builds a foundation of strength and stamina for future workouts, and then incorporates recovery during the workout that he also uses to help increase you flexibility (a key to being able to perform the exercises you are doing). All of this while also getting your heart rate up to increase you metabolism and burn fat too. When you watch Brad you can also see that he is always paying careful attention and thinking about how he can make your experience better and coach you to higher performance. He does not just stand idly by and count reps. He is fully engaged with you the entire way.
Finally, the program he has put together provides you with each aspect you need to achieve your goals whether they are fat loss goals, strengthening goals, or performance goals. He provides access to his metabolic classes, the semi-​private sessions, and a nutrition program. That’s everything you need to get fit not matter what your individual goals.
If you are looking for someone who is focused on you and your results, as well as someone who will listen to you and be able to give you the encouragement and focus you need, go see Brad — now. You can’t find anyone better!
