Brads Certifications:
Brad was born in Toledo Ohio on June 9, 1965. At the age of three he lost his hearing when he contracted a deadly fever. Rather than send him to special schools, his parents made sure Brad knew how to read lips and had him fitted with hearing aids.
He began playing sports and found that he had an interest in tennis, which he began to participate in more and more. He went on to become one of the top junior players in his age division and received a scholarship at the University of Toledo as a walk on. The only difference between Brad and his teammates was the fact that he couldn’t hear the cheers of the crowds who came to watch him play. After college he went on to become the USA’s number one deaf tennis player and won numerous World Deaf Championships. He also helped the USA to win it’s first ever Dresse Cup in 1995.
Not being content with just playing professional tennis at the World level, he began using his bodybuilding in earnest. In 1995 he won the P.A.S./ Experimental and Applied Sciences nutritional supplement transformation contest now known as Body-for-Life and became their second national spokesperson.
In addition to being the E.A.S. second spokesman, his bodybuilding success earned him various modeling jobs including being Nordic Flex’s cover model and appeared in their national television advertising campaign.
Brad has always met his goals and is now determined to teach others how to go for their dreams and goals. Today, Brad lives with his wife Ginny in Orlando, FL and works as a tennis professional and personal trainer. He speaks at FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) groups where he shares his testimony of living a life for Christ.
In the four years that I have known Brad as my personal trainer, I have also come to know that the talents given to him by the Lord are many. The best professional tennis player I know personally in addition to his high quality of really caring about his clients and thereby helping them achieve their dreams and interests. Inevitably, I have witnessed those clients become in the end what I have, a real friend.
When I first met Brad, he was my tennis instructor at a local community park. He really helped me by pointing out new techniques and improving my tennis habits. With his help I was able to elevate my game to the competitive level that I enjoy today. Having been exposed to Brad’s inspirational and upbeat personality, I became interested in exploring his personal training services. I have weight trained with Brad for the past 12 months and have achieved much more than a well toned and fit appearance. I have learned what a “fitness lifestyle” means and how to live it. His motivation and commitment in working with me has had an immeasurable impact on my self-esteem, my confidence in my physical capabilities and helped me develop a champion mentality.
Since I’ve met Brad, I’ve been motivated to live life to the fullest and never give up on my dreams.
Being a mother of two and turning 30 years old, working out with Brad has made a huge impact on my mind and body. My body is firmer and more defined than ever before! Brad has this ability to motivate and guide you spiritually on the importance of good health and mind. I always say whenever I’m down that the day calls for a “dose of Brad Minns”, and that gets you pumped up and pushes you to do your best.
