A Chat With Birmingham Personal Trainer Brad Bearden
Brad Bearden – Sportplex Personal Training Director (Inverness and Hoover):
Q:How did your get interested in fitness?
A: My desire for physical fitness has grown from the age of thirteen when I got my first Joe Wieder machine. From that day until this one I have always desired to reach new levels of physical fitness and success. Serving in the United States Marine Corps gave me a different perspective and appreciation for total body fitness which led me to pursue a career in the field.
Q:What led you to being a personal trainer?
A: I started training clientele on a part time basis until I realized the potential impact I could have on a person’s quality of life. Once I came to understand that I had an opportunity to not only change someone’s physique but also their personal belief system concerning themselves, I jumped in with both feet.
I became certified by the American Sports and Fitness Association and have been successful at adding hope and confidence to the lives of many clients who are now all personal friends. I am very passionate and intense when it comes to training because I am fully aware of the life altering affects the positive results will bring.
Q:What makes your different as a personal trainer?
I truly believe in the mantra “To get what you do not have, you must do what you have not done.” Because of this perspective, my training systems are different, intense, and passionate as well as….very effective. I understand that my continued success is dependent upon the success of my clientele. I refuse to accept nothing other than that….Success.
