Who this program is for

This isn't a generic Catholic weight loss program. It is for Catholics ready to take ownership of their health, physically and spiritually.

Ready to stop starting over

You've tried programs, diets, and apps. You don't need more information, you need structure.

Carrying 10-30+ pounds you want gone

The right way: strength training, strategic nutrition, and real accountability, not extreme dieting.

Wanting a simple system, not more noise

One repeatable framework built on four pillars. No guessing, no overwhelm.

Seeing your body as a gift, not a project

You want the energy to lead your family, serve your parish, and show up fully at work.


The 4 pillars of Catholic fitness coaching

Random workouts and trendy diets don't build lasting change. These four pillars, working together, do.

Pillar 1

Mindset anchored in faith

Identity drives behavior. We start with who you are in God, not your past attempts or your current weight.

Pillar 2

Nutrition with discipline

Strategic fasting and protein-first fueling rooted in self-mastery, not restriction or extremes.

Pillar 3

Strength for longevity

Three effective sessions a week, 20-35 minutes, built to serve your vocation, not just your reflection.

Pillar 4

Accountability, not alone

Daily check-ins and weekly coaching. Consistency, not perfection, is what produces transformation.

About Coach Brad

Catholic husband, father of seven, and Catholic health coach since 1998.

My wife and I attend St. Ann Catholic Parish in Coppell, Texas, and our faith is at the center of how I coach. In 2006 I founded Get You In Shape, and over the last 28 years I've helped more than 5,783 people transform their health, physically, mentally, and spiritually. As a Catholic personal trainer online, I meet you exactly where you are, whether that's in person in Coppell or anywhere in the country through virtual coaching.

After decades of coaching I noticed people losing weight but still struggling internally. They lacked structure rooted in something bigger than appearance. That's why I built Catholic fitness coaching around stewardship, discipline, and identity, not vanity.

Being a husband and father of seven has shaped how I coach more than any certification. I understand busy schedules, family demands, and the responsibility of leadership, because I live it too.

What is a Catholic Fitness Coach?

A Catholic Fitness Coach helps men and women integrate faith and fitness so their health supports their vocation, not competes with it. Too often, health is treated as either vanity-driven or completely separate from faith. But as Catholics, we believe the body is a gift from God. It is not an accident. It is not disposable. It is a temple of the Holy Spirit.

As a Catholic Fitness Coach, I help you approach fitness through the lens of stewardship, discipline, and purpose. That means strength training to build a resilient body that can serve your family and community, strategic nutrition and fasting rooted in self-mastery rather than restriction, accountability that builds virtue through consistency, and mindset coaching anchored in your identity as a beloved son or daughter of God.

This is not about chasing abs or obsessing over the scale. It is about becoming stronger so you can live your calling with energy, clarity, and confidence, and about building habits that honor God in how you move, how you eat, how you rest, and how you show up each day. As a style of faith based fitness coaching, it treats stewardship of the body as inseparable from stewardship of the soul.

Why does faith matter in health and fitness?

Your body is entrusted to you. As Catholics, we believe faith and fitness are connected, not separate. In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, St. Paul reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Your body is not just something to manage, it is something entrusted to you, and stewardship requires intention.

Discipline is a virtue. In Catholic teaching, discipline is not punishment, it is formation. Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit. Temperance is a virtue. Consistency builds character. Waking up early to train or choosing protein over processed food is practicing virtue, and virtue builds freedom.

Gluttony versus self-mastery. Many Catholics struggle not because they lack knowledge, but because they lack structure and accountability. Gluttony is not just about overeating, it is about disordered attachment, where food becomes comfort, stress relief, or escape. Through structure, fasting, strength training, and accountability, we reclaim self-mastery: food becomes fuel, movement becomes medicine, discipline becomes freedom.

Stronger body, stronger vocation. When your energy is low, everything suffers, your patience with your kids, your focus at work, your leadership at home. When your health improves, you have the energy to engage your family, show up mentally sharp, and lead with confidence. Fitness is not vanity, it is preparation for the calling God has placed on your life.

Energy for your calling. Whether you are a husband, wife, business leader, parent, or servant in your parish, your body affects your mission. Taking care of your health allows you to serve longer, love deeper, lead better, and live fully. When your physical habits align with your spiritual values, transformation becomes sustainable.

Who is this program for, exactly?

This is for Catholics who want to look and feel 10 years younger. You may be over 40, your metabolism may be slowing down, your recovery isn't what it used to be, and energy dips mid-afternoon. This kind of fitness for Catholics over 40 isn't about just weighing less, it's about feeling strong, sharp, and resilient again.

It's for those ready to lose 10-30+ pounds the right way, not through extreme dieting, endless cardio, or temporary motivation, but through strength training, strategic nutrition, structured fasting, and consistent accountability.

It's for those tired of starting over. You've tried programs, diets, and apps. You've had success, then life happened. You don't need more information, you need structure: a simple, repeatable framework built on four pillars, mindset, nutrition, fitness, and accountability, with no guessing and no overwhelm.

And it's for those who believe their body is a gift from God, not vanity but stewardship, who want the energy to lead their family, serve their parish, excel at work, and be present with the people they love, ready to focus on daily choices rather than just results.

Do you work with people who aren't Catholic?

This particular program is built specifically for Catholics who want their faith woven directly into their coaching, scripture, sacraments, and Catholic teaching included. If that's not your background but you still want the same structure, strength training, and daily accountability, I coach men and women of all faiths through my general faith-based online coaching program, which uses the same proven system without the Catholic-specific framing.
