Brendan is from West Lafayette Indiana, has been a personal trainer for 5 years now. I have worked mostly at Purdue University during my undergrad as a personal trainer and a couple leadership roles during my time there. I am currently training at Equinox in Chicago, Gold Coast. Fitness and Personal training is my passion, finding a balance between all things is something I preach to every client and I enjoy not only the active parts of my lifestyle but also the relaxed ones such as games with friends and binging a good TV show in my free time.
Coach Damien currently serves as the Coordinator of Fitness at FAU’s Recreation and Fitness Center. He’s also the Founder and Head of Coach of The Shift Method | Fitness & Education LLC.
