About BRADSIMSCPT
My Mission
I'm Brad Sims, your Certified Personal Trainer, and my mission is to empower individuals to achieve optimal health and wellness through fitness and lifestyle changes. I provide a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable and motivated to reach their goals. My clients range in age from 16 to 81. I train some once a week and some as many as 3 days a week. I want them to feel confident in a gym setting and make it a point to create self-sufficiency among my clients.
Welcome to BRAD SIMS CPT Fitness!
The Mission: Safe, but Progressive Adaptation
I spent my first five years as a Physical Therapy aide with Dr. Jared Cooper in Madison, NJ (The Moment Institute), and was certified as a Personal Trainer in 2012. Since that time I have earned several more certifications including Osteoporosis Training, Nutrition, Corrective Exercise, Mental Toughness, Performance Enhancement and Spartan Group Exercise. I have run over 60 obstacle races in a 9 year span, including the grueling 32-mile Spartan Ultra Beast. Combine all this with weightlifting beginning at age 14, I now have over 34 years of exercise experience and over 13 years as a certified fitness professional who prides himself on making sure I can offer my clients the latest research and trends in the industry, so they can receive the best possible care.
