“I first met the lovely Bryna close to 10 years ago in Los Angeles. She’s everything you want in a trainer. She’s passionate, committed, knowledgeable , challenging, supportive and wildly in tune with everything that is positive in this world. Her approach is keeping the mind, body and soul all in check and in tune with each other. She has taught me that it isn’t about just being physically strong, it’s also about mental strength. Her spirit is infectious, her training sessions are super challenging, and she has the best outlook on life. For me, she isn’t just a trainer, she’s a friend and at times, a life coach :). We meet people along the way who have a massive impact on the direction in life we are going and I can honestly say Bryna has been one of those people for me.”

“I’ve been working with Bryna for nearly a decade, in group settings as well private sessions. Her personally designed workouts are suited to my individual abilities and needs. She knows my limits and she pushes me right up to them, but never beyond. She’s exactly the right balance of what I need in a trainer. She motivates me. She knows how to be firm and encouraging without being overbearing, and never belittling or demeaning. She genuinely cares about my wellbeing, checking in on my mental as well as physical health, and her workouts provide strength training for both. She corrects my form and demonstrates sets even though we train remotely. I work a very physical job, and I owe my lack of injury to her, because she’s trained me how to properly move and engage my body.'“

“Bryna is more than a trainer, she’s a motivator, coach & friend. She goes the extra mile to check in on you. She truly creates workout programs specific to your individual needs. She always shows up 110 % and inspires me to do the same!”

Kristen McGee NYC - Pilates and yoga instructor

“I have been working with Bryna for over 3 years. She’s definitely one of the highlights of my week even as I remotely work out with her from my quarantined headquarters in Kentucky. Not only is she like a mentor to me, she always delivers a fun workout that is uplifting as it is challenging. Her Rehab classes are combined with a positive mindfulness that I carry with me throughout the day. I am thankful that I’ve had the pleasure of crossing paths with Bryna for my fitness regimen and am grateful to now be able to call her my dear friend.”

“Wow… I am truly floored by how much Bryna’s coaching has transformed my body and my life. I am an ex-dancer and chronic over/under exerciser who has had a host of very serious injuries and surgeries due to my overuse of, and disconnection from, my body. I have been to all of the exercise classes, watched all of the YouTube videos, and taken many a private with several personal trainers and nothing has transformed my body and mind like working with Bryna.

Bryna’s coaching style is honest and to the point while also filled with love and empathy. She teaches you how to be in YOUR body and connect to its needs. Her innovative training style not only transforms the way you look, but it retrains you and your body to focus on longevity and mobility; which will keep you moving for years to come.

She truly is a HEALTH coach. Focusing on your overall wellbeing and bridging the gaps that might be missing and keeping you distant from your goals. Highly, highly recommend for anyone who is ready to take the health of their mind, body, and spirit seriously. Trust me… it was worth it!”

“Bryna has had an immense impact on my life for the last three months. I’ve always been a person who tries to lift as much as I can and really push it to the max. Intense hiit classes, max reps, and little rest. That mindset has certainly led to some improvement, but I’ve plateaued the last couple of years. Working extremely hard but not seeing the gains I should be seeing. I was looking for a break through.

Someone introduced Bryna to me and my fiancé. Bryna, in our first couple of meetings, emphasized things that I was aware of but had not taken too seriously. Functional strength, breathing, rest, mobility, myofascial release, balance across workouts. I was admittedly a little skeptical but realized that whatever I was doing on my own wasn’t getting me to where I wanted to go. I might as well give this new approach a try.

And I’m very happy I did. Since working with Bryna, I’ve made measurable gains in timed exercises, like pushups, pull ups, plank and squats. I feel more mobile and limber than I’ve had in a while. I’m lifting, running and swimming. Getting proper rest and not feeling run down. And not spending 1.5-2 hours in the gym at times. And I’ve lost an inch and a half off my waist.

Bryna has revolutionized how I view exercise and fitness, and crystallized why going as hard as possible 6-7 days a week is actually a detriment (at least for me!).

I’d recommend Bryna to everyone who wants to set themselves up for long term success in the fitness department. And make a great friend along the way.”

“Bryna has been teaching for us since January 2020. She’s a skilled instructor with the ability to adapt workouts to our needs and is especially attentive to any injuries or limitations. She inspires and motivates our employees with her passionate and empathetic approach. With the onset of COVID-19, Bryna transitioned seamlessly to teaching virtually for us, and has been a consistent source of peace and positivity during this very challenging time.”

“Bryna has been a coach and friend of the house for over three years. She brings a innovative, thoughtful and energetic approach to fitness that the members love. Easy to work with, very flexible and always a team player.”

“Bryna is an amazing coach. Training with Bryna has made me a stronger person both physically and mentally – her emphasis on the importance of the mind-body connection and functional training shows that she cares deeply about your physical fitness goals as well as your growth as a human being. Bryna designs a complete exercise and wellness program that sets you up for success both during and outside of her training sessions. I could not be happier that I am working with Bryna!”

“How is this: I’ve been training with Bryna since 2011, first in person and later online when I moved to San Francisco. She kept me fit through two pregnancies and c-sections, always pushing me in ways I wouldn’t think to push myself. Without my sessions with Bryna, I may end up in the “I don’t feel like it” mood or just stick with a basic workout that doesn’t push me toward greater strength. She is always encouraging me to stay connected with how my body is feeling and work to be balanced throughout my daily life. What sets Bryna apart for me, is that she integrates many types of movement from yoga to cardio to more traditional weight-lifting, giving the perfect mix of what my body needs to feel healthy and strong. “

“Bryna has been an incredible support and inspiration to me on my personal fitness journey over the last couple of years. Through personal training sessions, weeknight REHAB Flows, and Sunday Soul Cycle sessions, Bryna has been a constant reminder to put my physical and mental well being first. She coaches with a passion and genuine level of empathy that is hard to find in this era of health and wellness commodification. Simply put, she'll kick your ass and leave you wanting more! “
