Emerge: To come out into view, to rise from an obscure or inferior position or condition.

This is our mission at Emerge Lifestyle & Fitness Training, to bring the real person within, the person you always wanted to be, out into view.

Emerge is a team of professional certified trainers and nutrition specialists focused 100% on the goals of their clients through lifestyle and fitness training.  We cover every aspect of getting you to look and feel your best and educate and motivate you to maintain the new you forever.

Your success is our success so we want to make sure that you reach or surpass your fitness and body image goals.  Our trainers are passionate about what they do, our philosophy is “Personal training is not a career, it’s a lifestyle”.  We practice what we preach and have all gone though transformations of our own and Emerged into the people we are today.  Only by going through the process ourselves can we relate to what our clients are going through.

At Emerge we like to have a sense of community with all the clients and trainers, we like to promote a family feel.  We like to have all the clients meet one another as well as all the trainers knowing each client.  Going to your Emerge appointment should be like visiting with friends or family.  Many of our clients have been with other trainers in the past and tell us that nothing they have experienced in the past compares to the attention to detail and care that we provide.

We want to get you to reach your goals at a record pace while spending as little time in the gym as possible and more time outside the gym enjoying your free time.  At Emerge we believe less is more, less time in the gym and more time to yourself.  Amazing results are achieved with only 3) 50 minute sessions a week, that’s all that you have to find time for.  If you can find 150 minutes a week to spend on you, then you are ready to Emerge!

Brandon has always been active and athletic but has not always looked it.  Despite leading an active lifestyle his nutritional habits had more of an impact on his body than his activity level.  Through proper training and diet Brandon was able to transform his body from a body fat level that was clinically obese to now, maintaining single digit body fat levels.

Brandon’s personality and experience with his own transformation have made him a great trainer.  His years coaching Lacrosse have helped him develop great leadership skills that he uses today mentoring his clients through their quest for a better body.
