Goals: Strength, Mobility, Breath Control

Lifelong swimmer who connected breathing to his movement, unlocked his body while also building 30lbs of muscle.

“I've worked with Brandon for over two years. During that time, I observed him consistently dedicating himself to his clients' success in our relationship and with others.  

For this reason, under Brandon's supervision, you should be prepared to go where you desire on your fitness journey. This guy knows physiology. He can observe a body's movement and discern the muscles that lack strength and mobility. Further, he knows how to hold folks accountable to their aspirations with compassion and without judgment, not to mention playfully. Plus, he's an all-around fantastic guy and a good human.

So congratulations on finding him. Your life is never going to be the same.”

Goals: Build Size and Strength, Learn Proper Technique for all Lifts, Build Momentum in the gym

Gained 40 lbs in 6 months while breaking through a fast metabolism.

“I started getting into lifting in 2019 and gained some momentum, but then COVID hit and kept us out of gyms for a few years. When gyms reopened, I jumped back in and signed up to work with @brandonpaesang. After having to sit out for those few years, I put everything into it. With Brandon pushing me every week, I really broke through my naturally fast metabolism and gained 40 pounds in the first 6 months. It's been about a year working with Brandon now, and the results keep coming. It feels great to look back on the progress since my birthday. I can’t thank you enough, dude, and I really appreciate the focus on legs in your program 🙏🏻

Highly recommend him as a trainer!”

Goals: Muscle Gain, Fat Loss, Build Bigger Glutes

She built 9 lbs of lean muscle, sculpted a booty everyone compliments her on, and gained incredible strength and confidence inside and outside the gym.

“I've been training with Brandon for over two years, and I've never felt stronger or more confident. At first, I just wanted to look better, but I’ve gained so much more. I feel empowered in the gym - something I never thought I’d say. Before working with him, I had no idea what I was doing. Now, I move with purpose, knowing I’m making real progress.

Brandon holds me accountable, pushes me when I need it, and ensures I build strength safely and sustainably. But what keeps me training with him isn’t just his expertise - it’s him. He makes training fun, is easy to be around, and genuinely cares about me beyond the gym. His attention to detail is next level, adjusting my movement in ways I’d never think of to keep me improving.

If you want a coach who knows his stuff, keeps you accountable, and makes training exciting, you couldn’t be in better hands than with Brandon.”

Goals: Body Recomp for Upcoming Wedding

Bonnie is strong and has gold star mobility! We continue to unlock her athletic potential as she builds muscle and sheds fat.

She just repped 405 lbs for 8 on hip thrusts with perfect form!

“As a female, I only wanted to work with a female trainer because that’s whom I felt the most comfortable with. But that all went out the window once I met Brandon. Immediately, you know he’s someone who genuinely cares about your health, listens to what you’re hoping to accomplish, and knows precisely how to tailor a program to get you there.

I am the most impressed with Brandon because I have worked with trainers in the past but only within three months, Brandon has helped me get closer to my goals than a previous trainer has whom I had been working with for a year. That’s just how effective and impactful Brandon is, and he will be just as committed as you will be, if not more.

I cannot recommend Brandon enough and I only wish that others have the privilege of working with him to see the results I have experienced with Brandon!”

Goals: Low Back Pain, Longevity, Build Size and Get Leaner, Train around Foot Injury

Convinced Marc to start training his legs to help his low back, focusing on mobility and strength for his tight hips. He’s gained 8 lbs of lean muscle in his legs and arms and just repped 255 lbs on deadlifts!

“I am 61 and have been working with Brandon for about nine months. Without question, it has been a great experience!

At the start, we discussed what I wanted to accomplish, and he conducted an assessment that revealed I could not achieve my strength goals safely unless I first improved flexibility and mobility in certain areas that were noticeably deficient. So, exercises designed to improve range of motion and flexibility particularly in my hips and back were a part of every workout from the beginning. After a while, we were ready to lean hard into my strength goals. Brandon’s methodical approach has so far yielded results that are more than I imagined possible. Chronic pain in my back and knees has been reduced dramatically, I am lifting (much) heavier than ever, and my lean muscle mass increased by about 7% in approximately seven months.

Throughout that process, I was always impressed by Brandon’s unfaltering attention to form. He clearly demonstrates each movement (multiple times if necessary) and describes how the body is supposed to react to minor adjustments so that you can perform hard exercises confidently and without fear of injury. He pushes you hard but knows what you can do and will not allow you to risk injury.

If you are looking to be challenged, develop strength, overcome doubts about your physical capabilities, and have fun doing it, you need to hire Brandon!”

Goals: Weight loss, body recomposition, and longevity.

Jordan continues to build strength and challenges himself physically and mentally every session. He’s also become a great friend along the way.

Proud to say he’s now my strongest deadlifter, pulling 365 pounds for reps!

Training with Brandon Paesang has been a game-changer for me. I’ve lost 50 pounds, kept it off, and I’m stronger than ever—both physically and mentally. Every session is challenging, motivating, and genuinely enjoyable because Brandon creates an environment where progress feels natural. His deep understanding of biomechanics and functional strength allows him to tailor each session to maximize results while minimizing injury risk. He aligns with your goals, works alongside you, and builds a long-term, personal connection that keeps you invested.

If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares and helps you grow, Brandon is the one.

Goals: Strength building, mobility improvement, and lifelong consistency.

Since December 2023, we’ve dialed in his program to unlock better mobility, strength, and longevity — and the progress has been incredible. Proud to now be training him and his fiancée getting them wedding ready!

I started training with Brandon in December 2023, and we’re still going strong! Honestly, I can’t imagine working with anyone else.

What sets Brandon apart is that he really listens. He understands my goals on a deep level and constantly tweaks my program to get me there. He also knows where I struggle - my hips and shoulders are ridiculously tight, which impacts my mobility and strength. Instead of just working around it, he builds in mobility work, and I’ve seen huge improvements. Because of that, I’ve been able to push my strength further than I thought possible.

Speaking of pushing - Brandon will make you do that extra rep. He holds me accountable in a way that’s both motivating and slightly annoying (in the best way). There are days I walk into the gym ready to just go through the motions, but his energy and well-timed nudges get me to lift heavier, push harder, and do more than I would on my own. A different trainer might just let me coast, but Brandon won’t let me shortchange myself.

Beyond that, he genuinely cares. I’m not just another name on his calendar. He gets just as hyped about my progress as I do - probably more. When I feel like I’m stalling, he reminds me how far I’ve come. And when life hits and I’m just not at 100%, he adjusts on the fly so I still walk out feeling good instead of discouraged.

And now, after a year of me raving about him, my fiancée started training with him too - and she loves it. So, while I don't necessarily enjoy sharing Brandon, I didn’t have much of a choice. At least I know she’s in good hands.

If you’re looking for a trainer who actually gives a damn, will push you (but not in an obnoxious way), and somehow makes working out something you actually look forward to - Brandon’s your guy!

Goals: Build upper body strength, navigate physical transition confidently, and lay the foundation for long-term success.

Through every milestone - from celebrating firsts to mastering strength training fundamentals - we built a foundation that continues to support not just training, but life.

After trying a few trainers in my area, I chose Brandon to guide me through my transition, and I’m grateful for that decision every time I train my upper body. Brandon creates a welcoming, lighthearted environment while demonstrating a deep understanding of human anatomy and movement. He not only knows how to train the body but also how to connect with the person inside it.

As someone who’s gay himself, Brandon fostered a space where I felt safe celebrating milestones like my first HRT shot and navigating the physical changes that came with it. He was always mindful when offering hands-on guidance, consistently asking for consent before showing me how to engage my back and chest muscles safely and effectively. That foundation became the internal cues I still rely on two years later in my own training.

Now, as a certified personal trainer myself, I have an even greater appreciation for Brandon’s expertise and his ability to push just enough to encourage progress without risking injury. His coaching continues to influence how I train both myself and my clients - especially when teaching movements like the bench press.

Goals: Muscle growth, posture and mobility improvement, core strength, and race preparation.

Through smart programming and injury prevention work, he crushed his half marathon goal and has continued stacking strength and fitness gains ever since.

Brandon has been the best friend and personal trainer I could have ever asked for. We’ve been working together for a few years, and in that time, I’ve seen impressive gains in both my muscle growth and mobility. Brandon takes the time to listen and tailor workouts that align with my goals, whether it’s building mass, improving posture, or strengthening my core.

When I set my sights on completing a half marathon, Brandon’s thoughtful programming had me feeling strong and prepared. He incorporated injury prevention exercises that kept me feeling balanced and resilient throughout training. My goal was to finish without stopping—and ideally under two hours. I crossed the finish line at 2:02:58, feeling amazing and without any cramps along the way. My knees and quads were sore, but overall, my body felt great.

Brandon’s expertise, creativity, and ability to adapt workouts make every session enjoyable and effective. On top of that, his sense of humor, smile, and even his fashion make him a joy to train with. He’s helped improve my fitness, my health, and my life in ways I can’t even describe. I look forward to every workout and every gain we make together

I’ve never felt more fit than when training with Brandon. He designed a thoughtful program tailored to my needs and goals - building strength, improving mobility, and developing my legs - while meeting me where I was in my fitness journey. He empowered me to push beyond what I thought were my limits and helped me raise the bar for myself - literally. If you want to be the best version of yourself - and have someone to debrief the latest RPDR elimination with - train with Brandon. 💅

Goals: Wedding prep, strength building, and injury prevention.

What began as a wedding-focused goal turned into lasting strength, resilience, and pain-free movement — a foundation they’ll carry far beyond the big day.

My partner and I started training with Brandon to get in shape for our wedding, but we quickly realized it was about much more than just looking good for the big day. Brandon’s energy and enthusiasm made even the earliest workouts something to look forward to. No matter how reluctant we felt rolling out of bed, we knew we’d be met with his positivity and encouragement.

He created a safe and supportive space where we could build confidence in our movements while always being mindful of our individual needs. Having struggled with knee and foot pain from running, I especially appreciated Brandon’s attention to injury prevention - his personalized approach not only helped me regain strength but also allowed me to get back into running pain-free.

Beyond the physical changes, training with Brandon built a level of mental resilience we never expected. His ability to challenge us just enough in each session led to lasting strength and confidence in our abilities. Thanks to him, we now feel prepared to take on any athletic challenge, and I’ve never felt stronger. Working with Brandon was truly one of the best decisions we made for our health and well-being!

Goals: Build strength, boost confidence, and create a sustainable fitness foundation.

In just a year, he went from feeling intimidated by the gym to barbell squatting 1.5x his body weight with perfect form, gaining 10 pounds of muscle, and moving with confidence every day.

Before I started training with Brandon, I was a total homebody who spent most of my time at a desk. I considered walking two blocks to get pizza a workout. The world of fitness—especially strength training—felt completely foreign to me. I didn’t know the names of gym equipment, had no clue what muscle engagement meant, and found the entire process intimidating. That fear and lack of confidence kept me from improving my health for years.

When I first started, I struggled to keep my arms up for more than 10 seconds. A simple 5 lb bicep curl was enough to leave me drenched in sweat and ready to quit.

Fast forward a year with Brandon, and I can squat my own body weight—and then some. I’ve gained 10 lbs of muscle, and I’ve even been called a beast on leg day by Brandon himself! The gym, which once felt intimidating, is now a place I genuinely look forward to every day.

Beyond lifting weights, Brandon has transformed the way I move in everyday life. I no longer just think about form when training—I apply it naturally. Whether it’s bending over to wash my face, tying my shoes, or even moving furniture, I engage the right muscles effortlessly and have avoided injuries or pulled muscles.

And the best part? I went from a short schlub to a short king.

But it’s not just beginners like me—I’ve seen veterans of the gym who had fallen off their discipline train with Brandon and get back in the game faster than ever. His expertise isn’t just about teaching the basics; he knows how to reignite strength, confidence, and consistency, no matter where you are in your fitness journey.

Brandon doesn’t just train you—he makes fitness fun, engaging, and something to look forward to. His approach takes the intimidation out of working out and turns it into a journey of progress, strength, and confidence.

To anyone who’s hesitant—whether you’re a total newbie or someone trying to get back on track—trust him. Take the journey with him. I was once where you are, and I can tell you firsthand that with Brandon’s guidance, you’ll not only get stronger but also gain the confidence to own your fitness journey.If you’re looking for a trainer who will push you past your limits while making the process enjoyable, Brandon is the guy.
