About Us:
My name is Brenda Lee Gross. I have been married to my wonderful husband Berlyn, for 22 years now and he has supported my every decision since we met. We are also blessed with two wonderful children.
I want to take a moment and tell you about my story and how I made a new career change!
I remember the day I walked into work and said no more! I wasn't going to keep eating the junk our boss kept bringing in, and going out eating junk food on a consistent basis and I sure wasn't going to go out and buy new pants in a bigger size!! I took the steps and started journaling in a food journal my friend had given me. I started to feel so much better and on my own started doing alot of research on fitness and nutrition, worked out 5 times a week and found ways to eat better with portion control. Little did I know that God was preparing me for my next step in life.
I started my new journey in the fitness industry in October, 2009. I had prayed for 2 years prior to that as I worked in the insurance industry for 9.5 years. I had felt that my time there was finished as I was feeling unsettled yet knew that I loved helping people and wanted to get into something where I could continue to do this. God gave me my answer driving to work one morning. I had been working out and loved doing that so through faith I took the leap and started out with 6 people in a fire station, 2 days a week for one hour sessions. The deepest satisfaction for me was when I started to see those women transform. They were taking a step also and wanted a change in their lives. I have 2 of my original women out of those 6 still with me. One of them took to the program so much she decided to become a personal trainer too and is now helping me part-time. You can read about Michelle below.
I believe that you have to eat to lose. You have to get your mind-set in a positive place. You have to know that it's a process, a life style change and with Brenda's BootCamp your going to get there. I teach you not only fitness, but nutrition too. Those 2 components must go together in order for a successful change to appear.
I am looking forward to seeing my business grow and helping more people discover that someone does care about them, and they can do anything in life as long as you take that first step and keep going forward without looking back.

Michelle Schell started off in my bootcamp in October 2009 and loved it so much that she is now certified in Personal Training. She brings knowledge in the nursing arena too as that was her field before her and her husband, Shawn, decided that she would have the great opportunity to stay home with their son who is now 5 and soon off to school which creates time for Michelle to venture into her newfound passion!
