We got the hottest fitness trainer in Longmont right now man. If you don't know who she is you better tap in and find out man. Let's go ahead and get to know our guest today. Hey, how you doing? Good. Yeah, you feeling alright? Yeah. Let's get this thing started man. What's your name? My name is Brianna and I am from the Hill Country in Texas. Okay, the Hill Country. Where is that in Texas? It's down there. Because I hear Matthew McConaughey talk a lot about Brianna. It's down there. Yeah, I'm around that area. Yeah. Lano, Texas. I don't know if that rings a bell. It's pretty small outside of Austin about an hour outside of Boston. And that would describe the work ethic. Okay, I got that. Alright, look it makes a lot of things click now. So what's the family like? I have a wonderful fiance and a dog and two cats. Yeah, so I've already hyped them up about the fitness thing. So what is it that you actually do? What is the actual job title here? Yeah, so I am a bodybuilding coach and personal trainer. I am also a nutritionist. I work with many different clients on a day-to-day basis meeting whatever needs that he met. Okay, how did you get involved in the field? So fitness was a huge part of my life growing up. It was a very natural transition. I graduated high school early and went straight into my certs. Oh, wow. So you certified everything? I'm ready to go. Hey, that's legit right there. I want to tell you how we met, though, right quick. Hey, met you, squat competition, you showed out, man. I ain't never seen nobody rep like that, especially, and I hate to lump you into a female category, but I'm just saying you showed all heart just period overall. That was surprising because when I put that contest up there, I never really put a number that high. In my mind, I was just thinking like, oh, okay, people will coast through maybe 15, 20 reps. And then when you showed out, I was just like, oh, man, that's crazy. I'm a very competitive person. Hey, yeah, man. And just for a minute, hey, that's a lot of work and whatnot like that. I will post that video on the end of this too. Like, so if you want to see her repping out, man, after this, man, for one minute, hey, crazy video to watch. So how is business? It's been great getting a lot busier. Open the door to bodybuilding coaching this year. And so that's taking the forefront of things right now. I've got my first client in prep and it's going really well. Yeah. And how's that going? When is that client up? She is up September 23rd in the Rocky Mountains natural show in Colorado Springs. Yep. So I've seen a picture of her, right? And I've seen a picture of her a couple of times. You're getting great results. And like, that's like, I was just like, oh, okay, how long have you been just in the fitness field and stuff like that personally? Like, because you compete as well. So in bodybuilding, particularly over three years, but in the fitness world, it really has been my whole life. Yeah. Okay. So who's your, who do you look up to? Who motivates you in the fitness industry? Honestly, I'm more of pull my motivation from myself. I try not to compare myself to other people. I do look up to people who have certain mindsets. Justin Mahaley is one of my favorite coaches. He has a podcast. It's called the Grower Dye podcast. He's amazing. That's how you're going to plug that in on mine. Look at your stuff. Look at everybody going to cut this off. Hey, she said, who not Justin? No, I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking. But yeah, that's, that's who I look up to. No, that's cool. Because I want to read this, right? So I came across this, across this friend and your one of your clients, Victoria wrote, she goes, breeze care and attention to both physical and mental health are incomparable in all aspects of her life. She's driven and humble. And if you're lucky enough to work out with there, it'll challenge you to be the best version of yourself. That's crazy. I was just like, first of all, friendship. And on top of that, you know, I mean, you push her and it's crazy to have the blend of the two. Like, you know what I mean? And, and that's just amazing. Like just, you know, I mean, it shows like your compassion, but also at the same time it shows your passion to push your friend to be the best version of her. Absolutely. And Victoria was my training partner before I even started coaching. She also pushed me too. And she's been working at this for a long time. It's so good to have someone you can, that can mutually push each other. Yeah. It takes the work out to another level. And so if you bring that energy, then your client starts to bring that energy with you. And then everybody's just getting better together. No, that's legit. So you recently picked up a couple of male clients. I did. Yes. How was that? It's been going really well. I've had no issues with it. No barriers. Just been about the same as my female clients. Did you think that there was going to be like going into, because I mean, hold on. Let me ask this question the right way, because what I see is you've been getting results. You have been proving yourself as well. Right. You know what I mean? So I mean, I don't see why there would be a problem, but to some having a female trainer, I don't know if that would be the go-to. To be completely honest with lifestyle clients, I generally stick to female. I do have a few male lifestyle clients just because it's a one-on-one private situation. As long as people are respectful of me, then I'm willing to work with you. Can I ask a lifestyle client? Yeah. So lifestyle client is going to be anyone that is doing fitness or nutrition just for lifestyle and health purposes, not for competition purposes. Okay. And so what all do you offer? You know what I mean? What does that entail? So for lifestyle, I am a certified nutritionist and I offer nutrition consulting and one-on-one private sessions with me usually take about an hour. It really just is tailored very much to the client and their goals and needs because every client is different. Every client has different needs, different limitations, different things we have to work around. So it's all very personal tailored. So what's the hardest part about your job? Like if you had to like just hone in on something like this, like just hard? With personal training, and I'm sure you see this too, there are definitely times where clients will commit to training or something that they maybe can't commit to at that time, whether it be from personal limitations that they have mentally or their life is just really busy. It's always really hard to see them give up on their goals. It's not very often that you see it, but when you do I would say that's the hardest part. You don't have to answer this question. But I asked Doc Sheppler this same one last season, right? How do you personally push through when clients are like that? Because you still have your own training. Yes. And that's mentally like, to me it takes away my energy mentally when I see people quit on themselves. Absolutely. Or quit on us. That's how I, because I take it personally. Absolutely. Like when you quit on us after we've made this plan together. Yeah. How do you mentally pull yourself out of that? So that was a really hard thing for me to learn because it is easy to fall into that depression with the client. But we, we have a choice and I'm going to pour all my energy into the clients who are pouring energy into themselves. And if you're not ready to pour energy into yourself, just come back to me when you are. It's okay. We can revisit it, but I can only pour energy into you if you're pouring it into yourself too. So I've just decided to take the path of the clients who are in that place and ready to put that in. I will meet you where you are. If you're not, that's okay. I'll meet you where you are too. But when you're ready, we'll do it together. Okay. So how do you navigate now? And this is a weird place in the fitness industry, man, where everything is like online or over zoom. And I don't, I don't understand it. And I'll say that, but you're more of a hands-on trainer. I do perform more of a hands-on approach with lifestyle clients. I think the accountability of seeing your trainer in person and having that time each week to really hold yourself accountable and show up for yourself with your trainer pushes you extra. Yeah, definitely. And somebody there. Yeah, I think like there's a lot more results. What you've got going on, I don't know. I'm always like, and I get it, you know, saying some things you can coach online, you know what I mean? Or you can have a conversation or anything like that. But like, when you're in the trenches though, I feel like I want to be there with you. I'd want to be more hands-on with you. I want to be. Absolutely. And I do have a few online clients and we do focus a lot on, you know, the biomechanics of training. And so what we do in that case is training videos so that I can assess and send them back and change. So you said earlier, most of this is mental. How much of it is, like, as far as like getting your clients like mentally prepared for what they're about to take on? In my opinion, I feel like it's like 85% mental. You can do, I'm a big believer that you can do anything you set your mind to. And when you start believing it and you start manifesting that on a regular basis, and you're continuously putting out those positive thoughts or that I can do this thoughts, you're going to get it done. Yeah. So we got through the negative, right? So what's the most gratifying part of your job? Like, what's the, like, what gets you the biggest, like, hey? Yeah. There are so many gratifying parts of this job. I feel like it's the best job in the world. But I would say watching clients break down those mental barriers that they put up for themselves. Because people don't realize, you know, you say, oh, I can't do that very easily. People say that all the time. I can't do X, Y and Z because of an injury or because of this. And you're giving yourself that label in your mind. So watching clients break that barrier and show themselves that they can do these things that they've told themselves they can't in the past, that's the best part. You know, the best part for me also, too, is talking to entrepreneurs like yourself, right? So you are fitness full-time. Yes. When did you take that on? And how has it been just working for you, doing what you love? Like, you know what I mean? I love to hear people talk about their passion, especially if they're living off of their passion. Well, the market here is a lot better than it was where I lived in the Hill Country. So for me, this seemed like a much bigger opportunity. It seemed like much easier. There's a lot more people here really involved in health and fitness, and that has made the job a lot easier. I think there is a lot of people growing towards more health and fitness industry-related things. And I think there's a lot more of a demand for that here than there was where I was residing in Texas. Do you make it outside a lot? Like, as far as... Well, Colorado is a big outdoor thing. Absolutely. Mountain hiking and outdoor stuff. Do you do that stuff or not? You just gym all in. I do a little bit of hiking. My dog's about 10 pounds, so he can hang in there for a little bit. Yeah. But, yeah, I really enjoy being outside and being in my garden, but that's great. And you go to a dark horse. Yes, that's great training. Yeah, how do you like it over there? It's great gym. It is a great gym. They have a lot to offer, a lot of great equipment, and a really great environment. Yeah. One of these days, they're going to let me in there. You know what I mean? One day they're going to let me in there and come through for the day or something like that. Yes. Yeah. I have a guest pass if you want to come get a lift in. Oh, man. Hey, look here. Say less. I'm on my way. Yes. So my thing is this, right? So you train other people, right? How do you get into mindstate to turn that switch on to turn your own on, like, to get ready to compete? Like, so, you know what I mean? Like, I think you had said earlier, like, when we had talked that next year, right? You're going to go. And whatnot like that. When do you flip the switch for that? So I try to stay in that mode 24-7, that competition mode all the time. I try to keep my schedule just as it would be as if I were prepping for a show. Meal timings are the same during the day. I try to make sure that there's not a large shift when I go into a prep for a show. So that way there's not a large change for me in my day-to-day. I ask personal trainers this all the time and they hate the question. What do you think about other personal trainers that don't look the part? With personal trainers? Yeah. I don't think... Like, because you definitely look the part hands down. Like, you see you coming in at that. Look here. But I mean, like I said, other personal trainers, sometimes I see them and they don't. One person, I'll give you an example. One personal trainer asked a question. He didn't like the question. He was like, oh, Bill Belichick doesn't look like he can play football, but you know what I mean? He does things and stuff like that. But how do you feel about other personal trainers that train people that aren't necessarily following or living the lifestyle that they are? If you're not living and following the lifestyle, I don't think you should be leading other people to live that lifestyle. That being said, everybody's body is going to look different and I would not base that off of how your body looks. I would base that off of your daily habits, your mindset, the way you hold yourself accountable, your consistency, not the way you look. So who does that for you? Who helps you keep this edge like you say is 24-7? Yeah. So I am pretty tough on myself, but when I fall, my fiance is really good at catching me and pushing me back to be the best version of myself. That's legit because I've seen him squat too. He pushed himself like, hey, he got an extra gear too over there. That's where I learned to push myself was from him. That's where I learned to turn it off and just work. No, that's cool having that relationship where people can kind of, you know what I'm saying? You guys both relate to the same thing. You both push each other. You both, and just to be around that, I'm sure, is motivating and inspiring. It is. And it helps you improve. It really does. Surrounding yourself with people who are living the lifestyles that you want to live, it helps you improve. So outside of the gym, right? And outside of the hiking and everything like that. On a perfect day, right? Like where you don't have anything going on. Where are you at? Where are you relaxed at? Where do you let your shoulders in? I'm a homebody. Yeah? I'm a homebody. I'm pretty introverted and I like my home. So on my relaxed days, I'm at home with a book and coffee and that's where I'm spending my time. No, that's legit. Yeah. That's legit. Last question I always ask everybody, what gets you out of bed in the morning? What lights that spark in the morning like? Yeah. So I have people depending on me and my clients are depending on me because they are learning how to show up for themselves. If I can't show up for myself, I cannot teach them how to show up for themselves. So that's what gets me up. And any advice for anybody trying to compete in bodybuilding? What advice would you give them? Absolutely. It is called bodybuilding for a reason. Take your time. Build the physique. It takes time. Be patient. Give yourself grace. The stage will always be there. And then anybody looking to get into the personal trainer field, what advice would you give them? For the personal trainer field, I would say expand your knowledge. Continue to expand your knowledge. Don't finish your certifications and think that your knowledge is full. You have so much to learn. You would always have so much to learn. Always be learning. Favorite body part to train? Legs. It's going to have to be legs. And what's on the playlist? A lot of horror core. Yeah? Give me a song. Give me a song so I can go back in. You know what I mean? Kind of. A lot of ghost mains. Suicide boys. Suicide boys. I'm definitely going to check it out and see what's happening with it because I love when people play other music other than mine. I have the same four or five songs that are in rotation all day. So I always try to give up docs. Anytime anybody comes to gym, you want to connect because I hear the same which I have a cadence in my mind that I kind of lift to. Either I'm R&B all together on pool days or I'm like rap kind of on push days. But I kind of just tend to bounce back and forth so when other people come around, let me see what you listen to. Because I got this one kid come by. He's like 18 man. He loves like 80's like rock. Like you know like all the Miami Vice soundtrack. And so I've been on that lately because he came and played and I was just like I never thought I would go back there. That's awesome. I think I've been listening to the same playlist for training for the last four years. So I hear certain songs. I already know what the zone is. Oh yeah. Oh okay. I can push here. You know what I mean? You got your PR songs in your class. Yeah. No that's cool man. I appreciate you taking the time to sit down and answer all my questions now. I'm sure. Absolutely. You know what I mean? I appreciate you coming out of the house. I've been trying to get a hold of you for a while now. But now I'm trying to tell you everything that you're doing is great. Thank you. You know what I mean? The results are the proof is in the pudding. You know what I mean? I see the clients. I'm seeing what you're doing. Thank you. And make sure you let everybody know how to get in touch with you. My bad. Look I totally spaced this out and I'm going to put it at the bottom of this too. Go ahead and tell them the Instagram, the website and everything. You can find me on Instagram at Primal Joy Fitness and my email is primaljoyfitness at gmail.com. Hey man, that's legit.

We're also rooting for you to win and be more successful. Thank you. And keep on giving the good energy and the good results to everybody in Longmont, man. And beyond. Thank you.
