“I have worked with Brysen for a number of years now in group classes and have been working with him privately for the last year and a half. I started with him training for a run but as time went on I realized the extreme benefit I get from meeting with Brysen. I’ve learned to connect with my body more. When I started privately with him he asked me what my body needed and I looked at him with total confusion as to his ask but now I know what my body needs and if I can’t figure it exactly what it needs Brysen helps me to flesh it out so I can zero in more on my body’s needs. Brysen is very flexible when it comes to what his client’s needs are. One day I might be stressed and need more of a stretching and heavy breathing day and others I might be energized for lots of weights. Brysen also zeros in on helping improve posture and balance to avoid injury and ensure maximum physical benefit. The biggest benefit for me is him helping me with my balance. My balance has been shaky since I was young and he’s worked with me so patiently on this (my impatience was probably a challenge for him). What used to make me trip and fall doesn’t anymore, and I am still learning to get stronger and more balanced – I am forever grateful for that!”
“I’ve worked with Brysen for 3 years. In the first year, I lost 40lbs and developed a solid balance with my diet and lifestyle. In the following 2 years, I have really stacked on muscle, improved my cardio, and really just enjoy the routine of working with Brysen twice a week. As a computer engineer, father, and husband, its so easy to log-on with Brysen and know I’m going to have a great workout and learn valuable fitness and health information.”
“Brysen’s unique approach combines intensity, reflection, and contemplation. This balanced approach to yoga has really resonated with me, a former rugby player, and advanced my practice farther than I had ever thought. The intensity of his sessions keeps me really engaged and Brysen introduces new postures that challenge me. Since I am challenged physically, it has made me more open to the more mental aspects of yoga like focusing on breathing. I no longer tell Brysen that the breathing postures are boring. I also accomplished my 2021 fitness goal of being able to hold a handstand for 10 seconds consistently with help from a private session with Brysen.”
“Brysen’s approach to health and fitness is so well rounded and informative. Its only been 60 days and I have made leaps and bounds in strength and healthy habits with his help. He corrects my posture and form during our workouts, he introduces me to new and fun movements, he always adds breathing exercises and flow, and his guidance in my nutritional health all combined has me feeling so energized, and strong. Not to mention my clothes fit better! He made me feel completely at ease and comfortable in our first session together, he is just a lot of fun to work with. I am so thankful for him in my fitness and health journey. Not to mention, I am a mother of 3 little ones under the age of 6. Brysen’s online training has been a wonderful addition to my busy stay at home mother lifestyle. I highly recommend working with him.”
“I completely transformed my body with Brysen’s weight-training workouts. The results were almost instant. I am more in-touch with my body, more present in my mind, and have so much more energy. I had a lot of resistance towards weight-training initially, and now realize it was just an old story I was telling myself. Brysen’s workouts are fun and effective. I have learned so much. I trust all of his knowledge, and the results show for themselves. 15 LBS down, stronger and more confident than ever. LADIES, WEIGHT TRAINING IS FOR YOU.”
“In 2020, at age 65, I became very ill - neuropathy, water weight, exhaustion, high blood pressure, overall pain, sores on my fingers and hands, and weight gain. In early 2021, alternative doctors/practitioners offered a diagnosis - late-stage insulin resistance. Brysen was referred to me to help.
Within a few coaching sessions, Brysen suggested I try a few dietary modifications. Over the next 4 months, I lost 50 pounds. But that’s only half the story. After each Zoom session I started to feel amazing.
Seven short months later, I am living 95% pain free. The effects of a bad car accident which caused me pain in my lower back have mostly disappeared. The muscle mass I lost due to illness and lack of exercise has largely been replaced. With 20 pounds to lose, I am stronger, healthier and happier than I have been in 20 years. I can do exercises I thought were beyond my abilities at my age. I can eat without stimulating cravings. I can care for my body in new ways. I am able to plan events, vacations, even career changes because I feel so much better. Most importantly, I am beginning to have confidence in my ability to embrace life at a deeper and more challenging level - resuming challenging activities I had long given up.
Run - don’t walk - to Brysen, if you need a coach and the time is right for healing, regardless of your age, I believe he can help you. Good luck.”
“I have worked with Brysen for 2 years now. It’s been quite a journey, and has developed into a great friendship. I have grown much more than I expected both physically and mentally. I lost 30 lbs., gained strength, and changed the shape of my body. I can now do things that I couldn’t do when I was a teenager. I feel that I have developed a balance with my diet and nutrition that is sustainable and easy for me to manage. I have achieved all of this while training from the comfort of my home. Thank you so much Brysen for believing in me!”
“Brysen is a great motivator. He helped me get mobile after two spinal fusion surgeries. I have lost weight and feel physically/mentally much better. I am glad I made the call. So will you.”
“In just 3 months of training with Brysen I lost 42 pounds and gained a lifetime of knowledge”
“The last few months I have focused a lot on self-improvement and living a healthy lifestyle, with a good diet and consistently working out. I’m getting back into shape and it feels amazing. I’ve been working with Brysen French and I just wanted to let everyone know that if you have thought about making a positive lifestyle change to get in shape and finally do what you’ve been putting off, you could not have a better motivator, a better teacher, a better person to have pushing you and holding you accountable than Brysen. He works with you in a 100% positive way, he encourages you the entire time, and gives you praise when you do a good job. Our workouts, while tough, are fun and he keeps things fresh, focusing on building from the core out, creating a solid foundation both through physical work, and dietary advice, but also connecting the mind and body, getting your full body to work as one. Do yourself a favor and contact Brysen. You will not regret it!!!”
“My story begins: I had hip replacement surgery in March 2018 due to bone-on-bone arthritis. Although I’d spent months in physical therapy following the surgery, daily pain and weakness remained in the left side of my body. Removing pain with a wonderful, new hip only to limp in other painful ways was frustrating to say the least. I hadn’t exercised my body or taken care of myself in two decades, eating poorly and drinking too much.
To avoid seriously injuring myself and to gain strength with purposeful intention, I made the decision to try to find a professional trainer that could help me. I also wanted that person to have the skill sets to manifest my wellness commitment into a real lifestyle change journey.
Doing research online, Brysen French stood out of the crowd because of his multiple areas of expertise – as a professional fitness trainer with a degree in Psychology, and as a yoga instructor. Brysen is a great motivator because he is healthy, centered instructor and he’s genuinely enthusiastic about me showing up, about my life-health progress, as well as getting me as fit as I’m willing to put the effort in myself.
I’ve had the opportunity to incorporate yoga into my workout and healing process, which has been incredibly positive. In my journey with Brysen, I quit drinking and made smart diet decisions to reduce inflammation and detox my system.”
