I joined this gym mid-winter, needing to change my health and change my life. The Altus team really helped me by holding me accountable to my goals. They are knowledgeable, kind, and supportive, and they foster an awesome community around them. Certainly the best gym experience I've ever had.

I found Altus looking for a gym and didn't expect getting coached and join classes but I am happy I did. The coaches motivate you, want you to succeed, they reach out, and keep you accountable to a point where you see so much progress that you surprise yourself. Happy to have found this place, its team, and the other members!

BRANDI

COACH

Becoming a coach was Brandi’s second career choice. After 15 years of Architecture & Graphic Design she transitioned away to pursue her passion, an active coaching career. The best part of this pivot was becoming a more present mom, wife and learning how to be the best version of herself.

Brandi is a high energy coach who is going to hand you the heavier weight when she sees you putting in the work…OR reign you in when quality form is lacking to prevent injuries.

Her passions are female health, functional weight training and primal movements. When not at the gym, Brandi’s hobbies include listening to podcasts & books (sometimes she’s lucky enough to relax and actually read a book), kayaking & swimming for fun, campfires with her family, and being a small town competitive Crossfit athlete.
