PROGRAM RESULTS
I had an amazing first-time experience training with Braden at Train For Life. He told me I would double my strength, and I ended up surpassing that in just eight weeks! But I gained more than just strength - I found a sense of community, a deeper commitment to myself, and unwavering support along the way. Braden provided guidance, encouragement, and challenges that pushed me not just physically, but mentally as well. I learned so much about the mind-body connection and discovered the true power of resilience. I’m beyond grateful for this experience and highly recommend Train For Life to anyone looking to grow in more ways than one!

My experience with train for life has been truly life changing. Not only does this have to do with feeling way more comfortable in my body, but better overall physically and mentally. As a former competitive athlete, i had lost my passion and motivation for fitness. I tried joining gyms, did workouts like f45, ect. but would never stick to it or see results. I set goals at the beginning of my training and have been able to hit, and surpass them. Coach braden has great knowledge, shows up for his clients with pure intention, and compassion. He meets you where you're at and truly WANTS you to succeed. I have learned so much about fitness and nutrition and now have a completely changed lifestyle. I would recommend anyone to go to train for life, no matter where you are at in life. TRAIN FOR LIFE!
TESTIMONIALS
Everyone at Train For Life has been so supportive and encouraging, since day one. recently completed an 8-week personal training program that met three times a week, and it was an incredible experience. Throughout the process, I constantly challenged Coach Braden’s decisions, doubting whether I could really lift heavier or push myself further. Every time he told me to increase the weight, I hesitated, thinking it was too much. But he always believed in me, reassuring me that I was stronger than I thought. And—of course—he was right. I hit my personal best every single session, surprising myself with what I was capable of. This program not only made me physically stronger but also shifted my mindset about my own limits. If you’re looking for a trainer who knows exactly how to push you while keeping you safe, I highly recommend Coach Braden and this program!

Train for Life was born out of a deeply personal journey of overcoming fear and transforming adversity into strength. Founder Braden Usher experienced the paralyzing grip of fear in various aspects of life, leading to a spiral of negative habits and emotions.
However, hitting rock bottom became the catalyst for change. Embracing the core values of curiosity, passion, and accountability, Braden began on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. By challenging limiting beliefs, pursuing genuine passions, and taking ownership of his health and aspirations, he transformed his life from one of despair to one of empowerment.
The realization dawned that this transformation was not just personal but had the potential to impact others as well. Train for Life emerged as a platform to guide individuals from feeling helpless to realizing their inner strength.
Through a holistic approach encompassing strength training, nutrition, and daily habits, Train for Life empowers individuals to discover their true potential and believe in themselves. It's not merely about physical fitness; it's about training for life — cultivating curiosity, passion, and accountability to shape character, foster self-belief, and instill pride in one's journey.
