自己紹介 (じこしょうかい//jiko-shoukai)

“Me” aka Brendan Takata

I like to move in sport, in life and in the gym. There is no piece of equipment in the gym that I haven’t used effectively in some capacity. Therefore, if there is a piece of equipment in the gym that you would like to use or is applicable to your goal, I can definitely teach you how to use it effectively.

If you would like to train at home, there’s no need for you to purchase equipment, as I can bring a whole gym to you.

改善 (かいぜん//kai-zenn)

Always striving to improve

The pursuit of health and fitness is not cleverly-posed IG pics of food and bodies featuring the hashtags #keto #fitfam #cleanse. It is a practice of self-improvement involving trial and error, adaptation and consistent effort. What works for you may not work for someone else, therefore, you should not assume that whatever someone else does, should or must work for you. There is no magical ‘RIGHT’ diet, no magical ‘RIGHT’ exercise plan, only a healthy version of ‘you’, defined by ‘you’. Exercise selection and loading should be based on an individual’s physical competency and the effectiveness of those exercises in helping you obtain your intended goal. 

Whether you’ve never picked up a weight in your life, or are looking to expand your workout routine, allow me to help you discover a maintainable way to enjoy living a healthy life.
