ABOUT ME
Be Lifted By Brandon: The Story Behind the Mission
My story has always been written in sweat, discipline, and second chances. From the time I could walk, movement was my language — athletics, competition, pushing limits. I always knew I wanted a career that was fast-paced, rooted in science, and made a real difference in people’s lives. But before I could help others rebuild their health, I had to rebuild my own.
For nearly eight years, addiction and alcoholism had me in a chokehold. I lost direction, drive, and purpose — but not permanently. That darkness became the soil where the seeds of transformation were planted. I decided to fight my way out, not just to live, but to live fully — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. That awakening became the foundation for everything I do today.
I stayed committed to growth even in my toughest years. At Albion College, I studied Kinesiology and played D3 football as a place kicker — the perfect blend of body and mind. My grandma, one of my biggest inspirations, encouraged me to become a certified personal trainer during my junior year, setting the stage for the career that would define my future.
After college, I spent two years working in a physical therapy clinic, honing my understanding of rehabilitation, anatomy, and injury prevention. But something inside me kept whispering that I was meant for more. So I took a leap of faith — one I can only describe as divinely led — and pursued personal training full-time.
That leap was terrifying. Self-doubt, fear of failure, and uncertainty were daily battles. But I pushed through and grew into a head trainer role at Burn Boot Camp in Northville, Michigan. Over the next three years, I built confidence, changed lives, and connected with people in a way that reminded me why I was called to this path in the first place.
Then came a new chapter — marriage to my incredible wife, Melanie, and a move to Houston, Texas. There, I joined F45, climbing from coach to performance manager, then to studio and district manager. Each role sharpened my leadership, business acumen, and understanding of what people truly need to thrive.
Eventually, the calling grew louder: it was time to build something of my own. After months of brainstorming, prayer, and countless conversations with mentors and loved ones, Be Lifted By Brandon was born — a mobile personal training business built on convenience, accountability, and empowerment. I bring the gym to my clients, equipped with everything needed to deliver safe, effective, and transformative workouts anywhere.
But the brand is about far more than exercise. It’s about elevation. I’ve been to the bottom — and I’ve been lifted out. My mission is to help others rise too. Be Lifted By Brandon exists to guide people out of the dark, to help them find strength, confidence, and a higher quality of life — from the feet up.

"He made us believe we could do it—and we did it!"
As an older adult, I am in eternal gratitude to Brandon for his belief in restoring and re-engineering my body around a variety of historic anatomical debilities into full-on performance as an occupational therapist. He made me believe he could do it—and he did it! Using nonstop adjustments and realignments to synchronize fatigued muscles and stiff joints throughout each set, Brandon guided me until amazing coordination, stability, and stamina became the foundation of my performance. I now move with the flexibility forged in my musculoskeletal system thanks to his vast knowledge of kinesiology, and his dedication and passion to heal and mobilize each and every muscle, sinew, tendon, and nerve to their fullest capacity. Kudos to Brandon—my ultimate body mechanic—for his insistent, creative push!

"Once we made those changes, the weight started shedding off. I lost 15 lbs in 7 weeks, while losing body fat and building muscle!"
Brandon is the kind of trainer that you want to have because he pays attention, and he is always in your corner. I started off pretty overweight and wasn't initially seeing results. Brandon and I had a heart-to-heart conversation about not being able to outrun a bad diet. Not only did Brandon help revise my workout schedule to emphasize more HIIT, but he also helped work with me on a nutrition plan that was sustainable and scientifically backed. Once we made those changes, the weight started shedding off. I lost 15 lbs in 7 weeks, while losing body fat and building muscle! Not only that, but Brandon will push you to do your best in the most encouraging way possible. He is relentlessly positive and will push you to do just one more rep. I've still got a long way to go, but I wouldn't trust anyone else to help me achieve my goals. If you are looking for someone to help you get where you're going, Brandon is the trainer for you.

The workouts he created challenged me and kept me engaged; I love coming to the gym! His professionalism is top notch and admirable. Brandon is definitely in the right line of work! Although a trainer, he is invested in more than just my workouts. He is invested in me as a whole person asking about my life outside of the gym and encouraging me beyond the gym. I have thoroughly enjoyed being trained by Brandon!
