Hey, I’m Brenda.
As a NASM CPT, CES and WLS of 7+ years, Brenda helps clients move from feeling overwhelmed about their fitness goals to focused and strong through efficient in-person training and sustainable habit coaching.
My Approach
Intentional
Brenda’s approach is defined by purpose and attention to detail. Each session follows a clear structure and progression, with every exercise, load, and tempo selected to support the client’s goals while honoring their body and energy.
Attentive
No two clients are trained the same. Brenda takes time to understand each individual’s needs, history, and lifestyle, tailoring programs that evolve as the client progresses. Adjustments are made continuously to ensure training remains effective, safe, and aligned with what the client needs most.
Integrated
Training is meant to add to life, not take from it. Brenda integrates fitness in a way that supports daily energy, focus, and longevity—helping clients feel stronger and more capable without leaving them depleted or burned out.
Enduring
Consistency is built through thoughtful programming and realistic expectations. Brenda emphasizes quality over intensity, creating training experiences clients can maintain long-term while continuing to feel challenged and confident. Need to work around a bad night of sleep or a back injury? Brenda adapts on the fly to keep you on track.

/ About Brenda /
A Sunnyvale native with over seven years of coaching experience, Brenda has worked with numerous youth athletes, active older adults, and busy professionals.
Her background in competitive swimming and running shaped her discipline, and recovering from two stress fractures taught her the value of patient, intelligent programming—an approach she brings to every client.
Brenda began her career as a swim instructor, where she discovered her love for teaching movement and building confidence through skill development. After earning her NASM personal training certification, she gained experience in gym-based coaching, youth strength and conditioning, and corporate wellness with EXOS at Google.
Across every setting, her approach has remained the same: blending science, thoughtful structure, and continuous education to help people make meaningful, lasting progress.

Change doesn’t happen overnight, and 30 days gives us a solid starting point to build momentum, establish habits, and start seeing progress.
It also helps you stay consistent and fully experience the support and structure of coaching before deciding what’s next.
-
You’ll have access to a coaching app you can use on your phone to keep everything in one place. I’ll guide you in tracking your body’s feedback over time, such as measurements and progress photos, so we can clearly see how things are going.
This helps me make smart adjustments along the way and keeps you on track to reach your goals.
-
Not at all! Many of my clients start with zero gym experience.
Your training program will be designed with your experience level in mind, and every workout will include clear instructions, including video demos to guide you through each movement. If you’re ever unsure about your form, you’ll have the option to record yourself right in the app so I can review it and give you personalized feedback.
You’re never left guessing, and I’ll be here to support and lead you to build confidence in every movement, whether it’s your first time lifting or your hundredth.
-
Nope! I do require some form of nutrition tracking to make sure you’re eating enough to support your goals, but that doesn’t have to mean counting.
We can use photo logging, hand portions, habit tracking, or simple meal templates. Whatever fits your lifestyle best.
-
Payment is taken monthly.
-
Yes! I can customize your workouts based on whatever equipment you have. Whether it’s a full garage gym or just a set of dumbbells and resistance bands. Your program will be tailored to your space, gear, and goals.
“Brenda is an awesome coach. She created a personalized plan based on what I needed and tweaked it as I progressed. She really knows her stuff when it comes to targeting different muscles and explained how each exercise works. Plus, she's super knowledgeable about stretching and nutrition, so she helped me stay fit and build strength consistently”
