Brad,
Thank you so much for being such a wonderful coach. We really appreciate you and your knowledge of the game we all love. Most of all we appreciate your “kind” spirit and patience with all of us. You really are the best!!! God Bless!!!

Brad is an extraordinary young man. He’s up at the crack of dawn, leading the troops. he’s a great motivator for his teammates. I call him the workhorse.

Dear Coach Minns,
I just wanted to say thank you so much for this awesome season this year. I have learned so much from you and am very thankful. You have inspired me to do my best on the court and off the court, you inspired me to be a better Christian and servant to God. These lessons will help me throughout my entire life. Once again, thank you so much, and I look forward to playing for you next year.

Thank you so much for these great 12 weeks where you helped me realize how wonderful it is to be healthy and strong. My life has changed and you are a big part of this positive revolution! I can’t wait to set new goals and only live a better life day after day! Warm blessings.

I first met Brad Minns after I moved here in 2001. He became my tennis coach, and continues to coach me to become the best tennis player that I can be.

After I was hit by a car while riding my triathlon bike in 2009, the accident
left me with two herniated discs, pelvic damage, and a severely bruised back. Not only was I still suffering from the painful effects of the accident, but I had gotten out of shape due to lack of exercise and bad eating habits. I asked Brad if he could help me feel better through weight training. I had never lifted any real weights before—only small dumbbells for the most part. Brad eased me into a weight regime with care and concern, and taught me many things about weightlifting that I never knew. Within two weeks of working out with Brad, my pain improved, and I actually started sleeping through the night for the first time in many months. After about five weeks, I no longer had any pain in my neck or back. Brad asked me if I would like to participate in the Body for Life Challenge. I picked up the book; read it; and said yes. We worked together throughout the BFL 12 week challenge, and I can honestly say that it’s one of the greatest experiences I have ever had. Brad taught me about good nutrition as well, which was something else that I wanted to improve. Thanks to Brad, my core is solid, I am eating clean, and feel and look better now than I did when I was in my twenties.

I plan on participating in my first women’s figure competition this year, and
Brad has been the inspiration to get me there. His positive attitude and
sincere desire to keep you fit are what make him the great trainer he is today.
