Brendan Burke
Verified Personal Trainer & Corrective Exercise Specialist

About Me

I am a Certified Personal Trainer with a special certification in Corrective Exercise for people with joint and muscle pain and other issues.  I am also a world class powerlifter. I currently (2024) hold the IPL Powerlifting world record for deadlift (552 pounds) by a male over 60.  I also hold the 5th highest squat and bench press in the world for men over 60.

My work with clients is based on strengthening muscles which support and assist joints.  Multiple joint strength training has been shown to increase bone density, decrease likelihood and severity of fall injuries, and increase joint mobility and reduce joint pain. 

I worked with clients locally last year while preparing for powerlifting world championships.  I am happy to provide references.  My goal is to help people at any fitness level become stronger, have less pain, and become healthier overall. I work one-on-one and develop a program for clients to follow weekly or biweekly.  My rate is very reasonable given my skills and knowledge. I am retired and am taking a small number of clients. Clients need not be well versed in strength training (in fact, I would prefer they are not). They simply need to want to be stronger and healthier.
