Weights Gym and Wellness Studio is the ongoing realization of Bryan’s vision of a total holistic approach to sustained, preventative, and remedial wellbeing, optimizing health in all that we do, in all of what and who we are. Full health needs a community of vision, talents, and expertise, and Bryan is proud of, and grateful to, those who are choosing to share in his vision.

The passion of Bryan’s vision began early with his realization of the importance of body respect and fitness contributing not only to physical health but also to a heightened state of emotional, intellectual, and spiritual wellbeing. Complementing Bryan’s expertise and professional approach to physical fitness is the breadth and depth of his nutritional wisdom. The marriage of his professional background in fitness and his training as a chef took Bryan from not only creating excellent meals and meal plans, but also the point of developing and producing a complete lineup of healthy high protein / low carbohydrate foods of uncompromising quality. In his holistic understanding, Bryan remains truly ahead of his time as the pharmaceutically oriented medical community is slowly admitting and coming to terms with facts long known by scientific research, that incomplete, improper and misleading nutritional and fitness information remains a mainstay of the popular culture for most people and hampers the ability of many to find lasting health.

Your experience and understanding of who you are and what you are capable of will forever be changed under Bryan’s inspiration.
