Brandi Dockett

A.C.E. Certified Personal Trainer

Brandi Dockett has been an AFAA certified group fitness instructor for the past 12 years, an A.C.E. certified personal trainer for the past 8 years, and is Pre and Post Natal Certified. Brandi calls on a variety of experiences to help our clients achieve their many goals. Her group fitness certification has given her a background in body sculpting, circuit training, sports conditioning, and kickboxing. Additionally, Brandi has experience in Tae Kwon Do, as well as competitive tennis, and has competed in the Marine Corps marathon. These experiences allow her to vary her training style to fit the client, rather than the other way around.

Brandi has experienced the fitness highs and lows of pregnancy. She has taken this experience to develop a program that can tailor specifically to pre-natal and post-natal moms. This program will allow new mothers to remain as active as possible while doing it safely and effectively.

Additionally, Brandi will be heading up our brand new tennis program this spring. Having played tennis competitively, and worked previously as a tennis counselor, she will be heading up a free program designed to teach all our clients the basics of the sport, as well as a structure to play the game.

Brandi feels that fitness should be fun. Her goal is to help her clients find healthy activities that fit their personality, and then teach them safe and effective ways to excel. This attitude should allow clients to stick with a program while constantly pushing themselves in an enjoyable way!

    • Coffee w/sugar 90 calories
    • Coffee w/cream 90 calories
    • Coffee w/whole milk 60 calories

    Order a coffee with cream and sugar every work day?  Add 900 calories per week to your diet.  That is over 13 pounds in one year.

    Enjoy a cappuccino every day instead, and you save 300 calories per week, and cut 4 pounds per year from the above diet.

    Go to coffee with skim milk and Splenda?  Now you are only adding 250 calories per week, and under 4 pounds per year in coffee weight.

    Enjoy a flavored frappucino or latte once per week?  That could add up to 26,000 calories, and another 7.5 pounds per year.

    Just your coffee could account for 20 pounds of caloric intake annually!
