Brendan Butkus

Introduction
My goal as a coach is to help people reach their potential and find success.

I started lifting weights in my late 20’s. I was in very bad shape and wanted to turn things around. I had zero sports background-- just a strong desire to feel better, look better, and have more confidence.

I began to learn everything I could about fitness, nutrition, and self-development.

Since then, I have made this my career, which includes 15 years as a personal trainer, 10 years as a yoga teacher and 5 years as a health coach.

I also have experience with triathlons and train regularly in Jiujitsu.

If you have goals or questions, let’s talk - I'm happy to help!
