I am a 65+year old woman who was always active and exercised. Sadly, over three years ago, my husband died. I became depressed and sedentary and gained a lot of weight. My only exercise was walking my dog around the block, at a strolling pace. With help, my grief and depression lessened, and earlier this year, I resolved to get in shape. Brice had been my trainer at another fitness club, so I went on line and tracked him down. I have been working with him for over 3 months and have experienced a major life change. Physically, I could not even get up off the floor without a hand up. Within a couple of weeks, I could get up on my own. When I first met with Brice, he said, very diplomatically, we have a lot of work to do. Over the past 3 months, I have gained strength, especially in my core; am able to complete more reps; use heavier weights; add new exercises. He is a stickler for proper form.
Brice is very patient, supportive and encouraging. But he pushes me to do more than I think I can. He will ask me to try new things, and if I can't do it, he says well we can't do this now but we will work on it.
He is very knowledgeable about the human body, and is careful to always ask me how I feel after a workout.
While I have not lost the weight I want, that's on me. His training emphasizes a holistic approach, including a food diary and eating healthy. As others have said, he is positive and good humored, and is very flexible if there are schedule conflicts.
In addition to feeling stronger physically, the best bonus of working with Brice has been my "mental health". I have a more positive outlook on life and look forward to every day.
Whether you are looking to get in shape or get in better shape, are 25 years old or 65 years old, I highly recommend Brice. He will change your life!
