Brandon Bittorf

Brandon is passionate about individual fitness, both mental and physical. From personal experience he has learned the role challenges play in our self improvement process and now brings this concept to his clients in a safe and controlled manner. Once a member of the Santa Monica S.W.A.T. team and an avid cyclist, Brandon experienced a career ending injury that forced him to leave law enforcement altogether and almost abandon the sport that had served as an outlet and a marker of personal achievement. In the end, Brandon found himself not only faced with the challenges of physical recovery but also the challenge of finding a new vocation.

His love of cycling and commitment to health and wellness kept him focused as he battled through physical rehabilitation and ultimately lead him to his current career. Brandon did not abandon his sport; rather he channeled his energy through his training and triumphed. Along the way he discovered that others could benefit from the lessons he learned and now he has found his way back to a healthy body and a strong career in physical fitness.

Brandon has also re-established himself as a professional athlete in the competitive cycling arena. He continues to race mountain bikes and a mere one year after his last surgery he ranked in the top 10 statewide. He brings compassion, understanding and a wealth of technical knowledge to his clients with regard to sports injury and over-all physical training practices. Brandon "has been there" and he truly cares about the well being of the people with whom he works.


Brandon’s background includes an impressive portfolio of both physically and mentally taxing positions which require extreme conditioning. His qualifications are as follows:

 Former police officer

 Honorably discharged from the United States Marine Corp
 Certified Personal Trainer, NASM
 Certified Core Specialist, NESTA
 Certified Spinning Instructor, Star 3 JGSI

Brandon’s journey has culminated in his co-founding of Physical Adventures, an organization dedicated to bettering the self image of program participants through carefully selected and guided fitness regimes.
