My goal is to make you the healthiest ever. I take a holistic approach to ensure you pass all your health and fitness goals. We will focus on creating the best sustainable fitness routine as well as perfect lifestyle habits so you always have the best day ever.

My clients include young adults/professionals, CEOs, stay-at-home moms and dads, professional athletes, elderly women/men, obese women/men, and children.

I am a lead trainer for Nike Train Chicago Program. I am a certified personal trainer and a certified yoga instructor.

I found my passion for holistic life optimization while incorporating innovative lifestyle hacks into my life and those around me.  With a never ending itch to travel, I make it a point to voyage to new places. As a nutrition/fitness aficionado, I love pursuing the exploration of superfoods, superherbs, raw chocolate, and functional strength building.

If you are looking for a trainer that is all about ROI Bret is the guy for you! To see top results it's all about total wellness. Bret is more than well versed in the latest fitness techniques to drive results in the gym, but he takes it to the next level as he focuses on your nutrition and overall health. He broke down my diet, showed me where room for improvement was, and then showed me how to cook a well balanced diet. This overall approach in combination with a truly inspiring and positive attitude allowed me to see far quicker and better results compared to my personal training sessions at one of the top gyms in Chicago. The one thing I can't stress enough, which Bret focuses on, to see results the gym is just one part but without a complete approach you compromise success. I highly recommend Bret and the opportunity to see results in all aspects of your life!

Could not have had a better experience. Bret is extremely knowledgeable in all facets of health and wellness, from exercise and nutrition to the mental and intellectual side of fitness and living a positive lifestyle. I was most impressed with his ability to work with, motivate, and impact people of all different exercise backgrounds and physical fitness levels.

I've worked with trainers before, but Bret really stood out. When we met, I was looking for someone to tailor each session to my short and long-term goals and Bret hit it out of the park! Every session we had played to my strengths while working on my weaknesses, resulting in me achieving my goals faster while also enjoying my workouts. He is flexible, understanding, and passionate which makes me look forward to our sessions. I like talking to him about various fitness and diet topics, because he is very knowledgeable and well-rounded and I've recommended him to my family and friends!
