Testimonials

"Brett’s intelligent approach to Fitness and Nutrition combined with his authentic care towards understanding my personal goals, has helped propel me to the next level of my fitness regime. He consistently addresses the proper form of each exercise to prevent injury and offers suggestions and advice that demonstrates a strong understanding of physiology and weight lifting. I especially appreciate that Brett models what he preaches as he consistently works hard and sets new goals for himself, as demonstrated by his growth and success in health and fitness. Having worked out at the gym off and on for the last few years, it wasn’t until I met Brett and he offered to help coach me, that I was able to realize the importance of intentional and specific training programs and goal setting. Brett has been flexible and friendly in his approach to work together to understand my goals of building muscle, strength and reducing body fat. He has helped developed workout programs, diet plans and supports me in maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle."

"This past year, I have been working with Brett.  Brett is a very knowledgeable and helpful person who takes into account the individual needs of his clients.  Brett’s own journey in changing his lifestyle sets him apart from others as he truly understands the challenges involved with losing weight, healthy eating and staying motivated. Brett is kind and patient while being forthright and honest with his clients. While training with Brett, he was able to push me to try new and challenging exercises that I may have not attempted on my own.  I was comfortable with the same workout that I had been doing for some time and he encouraged me to go that little bit extra without making me feel pressured. His friendly, approachable nature makes it so easy to ask questions and talk about any training difficulties you may come across."

“In only three months working with the customized program Brett designed for me, I have been able to surpass my original fitness and weight loss goals and have started down the path to sustainable lifestyle change. Brett possesses the ideal combination of knowledge, life experience and personal qualities to help clients achieve results. He is a tireless worker both in his own training and on behalf of clients. Brett clearly values ongoing learning and self-improvement; this is manifested in his relentlessly optimistic mindset. His belief in me when I didn’t yet trust in my own abilities gave me a key motivational boost and helped me establish enduring habits. Brett has also been responsive to my needs, even accommodating my interests by incorporating some sea kayaking into my program.

Training plans for the gym provide the instruction and support that I need in order to confidently and safely use the equipment, with a gradual progression based on my ever-changing skill levels. During in-person sessions Brett’s exceptional teaching skills are evident, in his demonstrations of the proper form for each exercise and in his encouragement and constructive suggestions during my attempts. His remarkable ability to break down complex skills into more manageable steps and willingness to modify exercises to suit a beginner’s level show both his extensive fitness knowledge and flexible, patient approach. For workouts completed on my own, Succession Lifestyle provides an easy-to-use app that includes helpful videos of each exercise and holds me accountable as I track my daily progress.

In conjunction with the training, Brett’s sound nutrition advice and meal-planning strategies have given me tools that I can carry forward in the long term. Although I managed to lose 20 lbs in the months prior to starting with Succession Lifestyle, the diet I was following was not optimal. Brett took the time to listen and then developed personalized, much healthier, meal recommendations. Following these has enabled me to lose an additional 40 lbs over the past three months while simultaneously building muscle, drastically reducing my body fat percentage and making huge improvements on a variety of metabolic measures.

Brett’s coaching sessions have been invaluable, as he has been able to empathize with concerns and to share insights that can only come from having lived experience of the journey back to a healthy lifestyle. On rare occasions when challenges have arisen, Brett has been honest and direct with me, always professional, always focused on helping me progress. His energy and positive attitude toward problem solving are contagious. I am grateful for the opportunities I’ve already had to work with Brett and am excited about the next steps as we set new goals and keep moving forward.”

“Brett is phenomenal! I became super busy with work life etc. and abandoned my fitness and nutrition. I reached out to him to help me get back on track, into a stable routine, and set to achieve my goals. Brett worked with me to develop a detailed and personalized three month plan. He worked around my schedule and location to meet with me once a week for an awesome full body outdoor work out. In that time I achieved all of my goals and got the kick start that I needed to get back on track and set up for long term success!
Brett went above in beyond in helping me get back on track. He checked in with me every morning and provided the support I to stay motivated and on track to achieve my goals. With all of Brett’s help and support I am now in an awesome routine and feeling better than ever. I cant thank him enough!”
