About Brian McClelland

My Coaching Philosophy

My mission is to empower you with the strength and endurance you need to tackle life’s challenges—from daily tasks to major races—with confidence. I’m here to simplify the complex world of training so you can focus on getting results.

Personal Training: Become an Everyday Athlete

Tired of feeling drained? I work with adults, typically ages 25 to 80 years young, who are ready to feel stronger and move through their daily lives with more ease. I don’t just hand you a workout; I teach you how to move correctly and why your program works. You’ll walk away with a robust strength foundation and a genuine enthusiasm for training.

Endurance Coaching: Train Smart, Race Strong

As an endurance coach, I guide all levels of athletes—from those just starting out to seasoned pros—across running, cycling, swimming, and triathlon. My expertise lies in helping you achieve peak performance by:

Strategically incorporating strength training to prevent injury.
Perfecting your form and mechanics in each discipline.
Building customized, progressive training plans.
Developing iron-clad race day fueling strategies.

My number one goal is ensuring you reach the start line healthy and the finish line proud! If you’re ready to train with purpose, I’d love to chat.

Training Professionally Since

August 1, 2018

Typical Training Session

When you work with me, you will never get a cookie-cutter workout. Our journey begins with a comprehensive fitness assessment and goal-setting discussion to understand your specific history, injuries, health conditions, and aspirations.

Based on that foundation, you will receive a positively framed, custom-designed program built specifically for you—whether that means full-body strength, sport-specific skill work, or general health improvement.

We will utilize all the necessary and accessible tools to ensure you gain the benefits you’re looking for. This is your personal journey, and my role is to provide the expert guidance and accountability to get you to your goal safely and effectively.

Client success story

Proof That Strength Training Works for Everyone:

My coaching spans the full spectrum of fitness. On one end, you have Daniel F., who partnered with me for two years to execute a meticulous, strategic plan. By focusing on technique and periodized programming, he achieved his ambitious goal of joining the 1,000 LBS Club!

On the other, you have an incredible 80-year-old client whose consistent, tailored routine led to a life-changing health result: his strength training helped reduce the severity of his chronic kidney disease from a Stage 4 to a more manageable Stage 3.

These stories show my commitment to delivering precise, personalized results, whether your goal is elite performance or life-changing health.
