I have known Mr. Minns for approximately 6 years. During this time he has been our family’s tennis coach. He has provided instruction for our now 17-year old son, as well as my wife and me. When we started with Coach Minns, our son was only 12. At that time, my son and his two best friends had not played tennis at all, and were complete rookies. Brad was able to slowly build their skill levels with a progressive training regime that was age and skill level appropriate. Now, he includes the parents in the lessons, and is able to provide instruction and exercises that are appropriate for the varied skill levels of us all. He also constantly reminds us of the importance of healthy lifestyles, including dietary information and the need for exercise. He demonstrates this by walking the talk, clearly living the life he endorses. We have found Coach Minns to be an excellent tennis and fitness instructor, patient, supportive and highly encouraging. Mr. Minns’ tennis instructing skills are superb. However, the real benefits my family and friends receive from him go well beyond tennis. He is a fantastic role model for our sons. His consistent positive outlook, unwavering optimism and strong faith are values we want our children to emulate. Once a week, we look forward to our “boost of Brad” that lifts our spirit, and makes us very happy that we are able to spend some time with such a positive person.

With Brads help, I lost 21 lbs. and gained great muscle definition in four months.

I have known Brad for about 5 years as a personal trainer. During this time he worked with my wife and I as a couple. He was always punctual and committed to working with us. He always showed a positive attitude and was extremely motivational. During our time of training, Brad also became a personal friend. In this friendship his walk with the Lord has been clearly evident to me and a blessing.

The Lord has gifted you greatly with a talent for teaching tennis, but most of all, connecting with people. Always work with people-you reach them in a special way.

You inspire people to become better not only physically, but mentally and spiritually. I count myself blessed to have you as my coach.

Brad is a great personal trainer. he cares about his client’s fitness and health as well as them as a person.

Tennis is such a wonderful lifetime activity, and I truly believe you turned a lot of children onto the game. But thanks most of all, for making them see that with hard work, dedication, and perseverance, they too, can overcome obstacles in their lives and reach their full potentials.

Being trained Brad has been an incredible experience! I have always been a big person, even as a kid growing up I was always the biggest in my class, and for the past seven years have weighed over 300 pounds. After training with Brad for 4 months I am now under 300 pounds, I can lift heavier weights than I ever imagined, and I am well on my way to looking great and feeling better than I ever have. Brads encouragement, knowledge of weight training, and focus on my needs, has given me the desire and determination to do whatever it takes to reach my goals.

Brad challenges me to meet and exceed my goals.

I have spent my whole life in gyms, and have never seen a trainer as focused, committed and dedicated to his clients.

Whenever you meet Brad, the joy of the Lord resonates off of him. He has a Godly spirit about him that is contagious. He’s always upbeat and optimistic. He’s a magnet for drawing people to Christ.

Loved it! I have never done anything like this before and it was fun and very motivating!

If Brad is handicapped, then maybe we should set about redefining what the word means.
