For the past 2 months I've been working with Brad to lose weight and gain more confidence in my body. He has been everything I've ever wanted in a coach; caring, kind, attentive and strategic. I've worked with a handful of coaches in the past and this experience has been the best hands down.
I love his approach, it's simple, easy to follow and sustainable. Not once did I feel like I was doing something extreme. In the span of 2 months, I've lost a little over 6lbs, dropped a lot of body fat and went down 1 size in jeans!
I am so happy with my results and finally feel confident and comfortable in my body. Thank you Brad for being the best!!!

- I started working with Brad 8 weeks ago to tone up and learn nutrition; little did I know the overall impact it would have on my confidence and my attitude towards training. Thank you Brad for paying attention to every detail of our workouts, always correcting my form, and accepting the fact that I'm uncoordinated when it comes to learning new workouts. Brad is very informative when it comes to nutrition and paying attention to how my body reacted each week. This was my first time trying macros I was a bit nervous at first, however Brad's communication and his attention to my diet and how my body was reacting made transitioning to this type of lifestyle so much easier.He was constantly checking in during our weekly training to make sure my diets were suiting my needs and goals. He would readjust my macros based on how my body was reacting instead of just giving me a one size fits all diet. I started noticing changes within the first two weeks. My waists getting smaller and my glutes were getting bigger. I now know why the call him Bradley the Baker. Thank you Brad, you have truly changed my life for the better.

I am a 50 year old mother of 4. When I met Brad four years ago I was working out at a well-known local gym, doing group exercise classes.I worked out at least four times a week and thought I was in decent shape. I did a lot of cardio and used very light weight during classes. I was always very hesitant about weight training. I thought I would become bulky and too “muscular.” After a very lengthy discussion with Brad about the benefits of weight training I decided to incorporate a couple of days of training into my regular gym routine. It didn’t take long to notice the difference in my shape and metabolism. Needless to say, I cancelled my gym membership and workout with Brad 3-4 times a week.
Brad has seen me through two surgical rehabs where I lost a lot of weight and muscle tone. Each time he adjusted my workouts and food plan to accommodate my needs with his guidance I was able to come back to a healthy weight each time. He constantly educates himself to help me with my lower back pains. He is very patient and sets goals that are reachable. He is always available to answer questions and never makes you feel bad about falling off the wagon with your food or workouts. He has been a positive influence in my lifestyle. He has taught me a lot about what works and what doesn’t. I feel stronger and in better shape than in my twenties.
Not only is Brad is a professional trainer, but he is knowledgeable in nutrition as well. I definitely saw the biggest changes once I started his food plan. He is very good about changing thing up when you get bored with your food and listens to what you want in your food plan, he keeps you accountable for what you eat and does monthly check ups to see where adjustments need to be made.
I am so thrilled with my progress and would recommend Brad for your health and fitness needs.

What can I say other than.. Brad is your guy! I initially came to him because I was recovering from a surgery and didn’t want to fall back on my fitness goals. Nutrition was the one thing I could control in that period and it happened to be the biggest thing holding me back from seeing the results I wanted in the gym (and I worked out hard). Looking at these before and after pics, I’m amazed at all the progress I’ve made. I didn’t even realize until I sat down to compare how far I’ve come since March.
Three things I’ve learned from Brad is: 1) What you put in your body will clearly show; You can’t expect to see results if you don’t hold yourself accountable for what nutrients you feed your body 2) Meal prepping/nutrition is not easy, but totally worth it... and isn’t boring/plain food (Brad makes sure of that 😁) 3) The nutrients your body needs can change at any given time depending on your lifestyle; feed it the right things to keep it happy and healthy.

"Never a more genuine, caring, and dedicated trainer and friend than Brad. This guy not only knows his stuff but absolutely wants the best for his clients. This year I decided to participate in my first classic physique competition, and at 5 weeks out, Brad offered to help me pull everything together and get me in ready for that stage. I honestly do not know what I would have done without his guidance. He snapped my posing into shape, making adjustments to help me make my weak areas look strong, and my strong areas look even better. For peak week and after weigh-in, Brad was there for every minute, providing constant nutrition guidance and keeping me mentally on the task at hand. I could have never hoped for a more knowledgeable and encouraging coach to help me cross the finish line. Can’t wait to work with him again in the future! Thanks Brad!"

"I completed Bradley's 12 week nutrition program and wow am I glad I did it!
Bradley clearly has a passion for what he is doing, as I always felt like he was pushing me forward to meet my goals with enthusiasm and compassion. I have consistently been an active person and maintained a healthy diet, so when I found Bradley, I was desperate to find something that worked. I had gained 20lbs after some stressful life events, and nothing I was doing was making a difference (I tried weight watchers, whole 30, juice cleanses, etc). After a thorough review of my diet, activity level, and lifestyle, Bradley came to the conclusion that we needed to help to get my metabolism working. He customized my meal plan to fit what worked for me and made changes slowly to set me up for success. He was so accommodating, answering my many questions and made changes when requested. I am not a person who enjoys dieting, or has ever successfully completed a diet, but Bradley's program just felt like manageable eating. I was never hungry, always satisfied...all while losing weight. This program not only helped me to lose weight, but helped me to get rid of the guilt, shame and stress around eating. I found a balance between eating out and found more joy in cooking and meal prepping.
Bradley provided more than just information and meal plans. He was a source of support and encouragement and I always felt like he had my back. I am so grateful I worked with Bradley. He is a wonderful coach, and person, and anyone who works with him is a lucky client!"

"I contacted Bradley in the first week of April with an interest in his services. My goal was to participate in my first ever fitness competition on July 4th! Being a “bucket list” item for me and although I have worked out consistently starting in my pre-teen years I wanted to take it to the next level and at age 60 I desperately wanted to do so without killing myself, making a fool out of myself and truly wanted to walk away with a trophy.
Although I myself had my doubts that I could pull this off, Bradley took on the challenge! He started by meeting with me and discussing my goals, health history, workout history, injury history and a complete review of my current diet and workout regime.
I have always kept a healthy balanced diet yet Bradley taught me specifics related to identifying simple vs complex carbohydrates, protein intake, portion control & timing! Bradley made himself available essentially every day of the week either on the phone or text, he even assisted me while he was away on his honeymoon (now that is commitment)! Bradley and I had weekly ‘check-ins’ including photos, weight, pose videos and a review of details from workout specifics to my psyche/attitude as well as communication with my Trainer and Pose Coach. Bradley could not have been more ‘ON’ for me with constant encouragement and support on all levels. I also made the decision to seek Bradley’s guidance on post-competition diet and it was truly worth it! The end result I met another goal…I envisioned post competition to rest somewhere between my starting and completion weight, diet and physique and I have accomplished this with Bradley’s pre and post competition guidance! Talk about reaching a goal! My diet, training and even attitude have changed forever and I have a third place trophy (the other two winners were younger than me by almost ten years)!
If you are looking for the missing link in your training and you truly want to get RESULTS I strongly suggest you connect with Bradley!
THANK YOU Bradley for helping me reach my goals!"

"Last year after starting meal planning with Brad, it completely changed my entire perspective on FOOD. I was active and thought I was eating well for years and just couldn’t seem to drop the pounds that I wanted. I felt “stuck” and didn’t know what to do.
One day at the gym I saw a friend that I hadn’t seen in a long time and he looked INCREDIBLE. I said I want to do whatever he’s doing!! I learned that he was actually preparing for a fitness competition but he was also doing meal planning with Brad. That’s how I started. Brad started doing my weekly meal plans from then on. At first it was an adjustment but it quickly just became a part of my life and a routine that I didn’t even have to think twice about. He is very good about listening to your needs, changing things up, asking what you would like to incorporate or take out, what you’re bored of, and this made all the difference. We do weekly check ins and that way I am held accountable and its very cool to watch your own progress week by week. Slowly, but surely, the weight started coming off. Brad is always available to answer questions, he is super patient and really listens to your needs. This isn’t another “diet”, it’s truly a lifestyle and IT WORKS! I am so happy with my results and I would highly recommend him. THANK YOU SO MUCH BRAD."

"One cold morning, having a conversation with Brad, I made the meticulous decision to do a physique competition. Not knowing what I was getting into, but always looking for something to challenge myself, I said IT’S TIME! Brad, more importantly not knowing what he was getting himself into, said I GOTCHU!Holy S#%t! This just got real!
See, growing up as an athlete, if I’m not challenged, I don’t put in the work. Crossfit was good at first but my body didn’t like the pounding. So this bodybuilding thang (not thing, HA) was ‘safe’, as I presumed.
B-Money, as I like to call him sometimes, not only got me dialed in to eating clean in prep for the show, he made me focused. The words 'KINDA' and 'I’LL TRY' left my vocabulary fast! The only thing that Brad and I discussed about prep for the show was I WILL, period!!! The food was my everything, and we didn’t skip a beat to how to get the results we wanted at exact periods of this 20 week journey.
As the results show in the pictures, I received not only the body of choice, but the fulfillment of finally being DEDICATED to the most important person, me!
To all that consider doing a show, looking good naked or just plain wanna be healthier, it starts with what you put in your mouth. Stop doing it your way! If you let Brad in, you will get big time results out!
Brad, you’re a gem, you’re my muse, and most importantly you’re my FAMILY! This is just the beginning, because getting better is all I know now. Thank you could never be enough!!!"

"Going into my last few weeks of prep I reached out to Brad to help push me through. He was a huge help and I don’t think I could have managed to do it without him!In the short amount of time that we had worked together, my body had changed tremendously and all the little details started to appear on my physique. There was a point where I was in tears of joy because all the hard work was starting to show. He helped me with my posing, my diet and most importantly helped keep my spirit up! The reality of prepping for a show is a fun and wild rollercoaster of emotions and strength. I thank brad for keeping me in tune my last few weeks and for helping me step on stage at my very best!"

"I started working with Brad mid-2016, while collaborating on a project together at POP THE PIXEL. I was casually chatting with him about how I struggled to put on size and he started sharing some advice. I am very active [strength training, yoga, calisthenics, hiking, etc…] and have had difficulty gaining and maintaining size in the past. After unsuccessful attempts to gain without sacrificing a lean build, I made the decision to hire a nutrition coach. When he started the plan, my nutrition goal was to gain 5-10 lbs of muscle, while remaining lean. After seeing a number of successful and impressive transformations under Brad’s belt [pun intended], I was confident he would be a good fit.Since working with Brad, I have gained 16 lbs and maintained a low body fat percentage, which has ultimately exceeded my original goal and expectation.
Overall, I have found Brad to be:
attentive
responsive
available
communicative
realistic
logical
healthy
knowledegeable
punctual
committed
I have recommended several friends to Brad and will continue to do so. I am extremely pleased with my results and encourage you to contact him for a consult if you are even remotely considering it."

"I met Brad a few years ago through a friend. He had been training her and she was very happy.Finally, last October I made the decision that I want to lose weight and be a healthier person. Brad not only started me on a workout routine but also put me on a food plan. He created a food plan that was created uniquely for me according to my likes and dislikes. Therefore, I got a personal trainer and nutritionist rolled into one. I did NOT like exercising before but, he made me fall in love with working out. I have also learned how to eat properly without feeling like I’m on a diet. I’m three sizes smaller, look ten years younger and have more confidence than ever before. Brad has changed my life!"

"I’ve worked out hard for a few years, I gained strength and endurance but my body didn’t make the changes I was striving for. Having met Brad and seeing how he catered to his clients’ individual needs I asked for his help. From that point forward, everything I thought I knew about fitness and diet had completely changed.I shut my mouth, listened to his guidance and let him put me on a plan. 3 weeks after that day, my body had changed dramatically. I was beyond excited and humbled to learn how the transformation works and what tools can be used to obtain results. I’m grateful to have connected with Brad and to be a part of the Be Strong Stay Fit community. His expertise, wealth of knowledge combined with his understanding of clients’ needs and goals make him the RESULTS guru!! I highly recommend anyone struggling to make change get in touch with Brad and jump start some results."

"My past year and a half with Brad has completely changed my perspective on fitness and working out.Before we started training together, working out was a chore, and getting me to the gym was a rare occurrence. I can honestly say now that I look forward to working out daily, and it has in fact become therapeutic for me. Brad has made fitness fun for me – he makes working out something I do for myself, not for anyone else.
Above all, Brad truly cares about my progress, and that has made all the difference. He genuinely takes interest in all of his clients, and that’s clearly evident. Brad has become more of a friend than a trainer. He helps make fitness fun, set realistic goals, while pushing me to my full potential, and helping me become more fit and healthy than I ever imagined possible!"
