After rotator cuff surgery, I was concerned about maintaining my gym routine with one arm. Brandon stepped up with creative and effective programming that kept me engaged and challenged throughout my recovery. Despite being hundreds of miles apart, the virtual training was well worth it!

Brandon is a thoughtful and dedicated online coach. I came to Brandon after having undergone cervical spinal fusion surgery. After powerlifting and training hard for years, my surgeon told me I was not allowed to lift more than 100 lbs (including the bar) and I could not lift overhead. I didn’t know how I would continue to train until the restriction was removed. This was no problem for Brandon. He came up with a fantastic program for me that kept me in the gym, kept me training, and kept me fit. As I healed-up and the weight restrictions came off, Brandon helped me build back up, and I am able to deadlift over 400 pounds again and am squatting more than I ever have.


Better still, I feel stronger and less beat-up from training than I used to before I started using Brandon’s programs.
