Learning how to become a personal trainer can be overwhelming. From anatomy, assessments, and exercise order, you may be asking yourself, "Where do I start?"
There's a variety of topics to study before becoming certified. Here at the DPI Training Academy, we understand the process can feel like climbing a mountain, and we're here to help you take that first step.
We've structured it in a way that's easy to follow, where you learn both in the classroom and on the gym floor, giving you the tools you need to be successful upon graduation.
With in-person learning, we can answer every question you may have about training, as well as demonstrate exercises in real-time to ensure proper form and instruction, so when you've completed the program, you'll be more than ready to begin coaching clients the moment you become certified.
When you're ready to begin your journey to becoming a Certified Personal Trainer, send us an email and we'll get you started.
Looking forward to seeing you in class!

Since 2013, Brandon (known by his athletes and clients as "Coach B") has made a name for himself for his unparalleled expertise in sports performance coaching and personal training education for nearly 13 years.
As a former athlete, Brandon wasn't always the fastest, strongest or tallest, but he understood that with relentless hard work, he could become great at something with enough time and effort.
It wasn't until his life-threatening accident in 2009 where he found his true calling to become a coach. Consisting of multiple injuries in his upper and lower body, Brandon essentially had to rebuild his movement from the ground up. Using the same drive he had as an athlete, he was able to rehab his body back to normal, and now uses the same skills he learned to help others regain their movement and confidence.
Shortly after becoming a personal trainer, he began to work with the school that taught him, and discovered a parallel goal: Teaching individuals how to become personal trainers. He worked his way up from Intern all the way to Director of Education. After teaching there for nearly 10 years, he decided to part ways and start his own school: the Denison Performance Training Academy.
In addition to working with athletes from the youth level all the way to the pros, he works with what he likes to call the Corporate Athlete; individuals who work 9-5 jobs that want to move well, be healthier, and live life as the best version of themselves personally and professionally.

I've been weight training since I was 16, and for 30+ years, it's kept me fit. However, in my late 40s, my metabolism was changing, and I wasn't seeing the same results. I've been working out with Brandon twice per week (+ twice on my own) for the past six months. During that time, I've made tremendous improvements. I'm lifting heavier than I ever have, feeling strong, gaining muscle, and losing body fat. Brandon is a very knowledgeable performance trainer and motivates me to bring my best to every lift!

I had the pleasure to meet Brandon
when I took classes for my CPT certification in Houston. Brandon is an excellent instructor, extremely professional and knowledgeable, and created a positive learning environment for his students. Brandon was always very involved in our learning experience and offered a lot of resources and additional classes to make sure we were prepared enough to take our final test. I graduated from his program and I have been helping many people with their fitness goals since then. I would recommend Brandon to anyone who is seeking to achieve a personal training career.

Excellent instructor! Very knowledgeable and effective. Working with Brandon definitely helped me in the fitness industry. There’s nothing like getting hands on vs. virtual learning. I’m grateful to have been underneath his wing and so well guided through my entire course training with him. I am now more knowledgeable in anatomy and able to expand my knowledge with my clientele. Definitely recommend and rate a 5-star.

"Coach Brandon has been incredible to work with. Every single session my daughter was thrilled to see him even though she knew his training would be tough. He is not one of those "trainers" that sits on his phone while he "runs" your kiddo through a cookie cutter session. His knowledge is vast and specific to the needs of the person he is working with. He did incredible work with my daughter while she was nursing a serious ankle injury and helped her heal more quickly. I appreciate his methods, his humor (yep, he does impressions, lol) as well as his care and concern for his clients. He even took the time to check in on me because we were operating in a high stress season. (Very few people acknowledge all the work parents put into an athlete's schedule). He goes above and beyond, plus he is a man of very high integrity and work ethic. My only regret was that we had to move cross country and couldn't take him with us. Otherwise we would have been his client through her entire athletic career."Jennifer Huff Daughter: Sassy Huff, Lacrosse 15 yr.

The DPI Digest: Weekly Performance Education
Hello there!
Welcome to the inaugural Denison Performance International Blog, The DPI Digest. This is a once-a-week email, where I will be demonstrating a training method to use (like right now) in your current program or use it as a tool for later use. I will be varying the types of equipment used, from cables, bands, dumbbells (just to name a few) and with upper, lower, and core exercises.
My goal is to provide as much value to you as I can, and by that, I mean I want to share my knowledge with you over training philosophies and approaches I’ve used that have helped me be successful with my periodization (aka programming).
I’ve been very blessed to have learned from a lot of the greats in the human performance industry, some of which I’ve paid thousands of dollars for, and have been able to get 10x as much back in return over the last nearly 13 years since I’ve been coaching.
If I can help a coach learn what I have in a fraction of the time, or if I can help someone who’s new to fitness learn a new exercise that will help them move better with reduced pain and discomfort, it’ll all be worth it.
I have an outline for the rest of the year of what I want to teach you, and if there is something specific you would like to hear about, reply to this email and I will make it happen.
This newsletter is about you, yes you, the one reading it. You are the one giving me your time and attention to read this newsletter, and I want it to be worth your while. Reply to this email and let me know your thoughts or ideas. Or even a thumbs up to let me know if you like it will work as well.
Be on the lookout every Monday. I hope you enjoy the start of our educational journey.
Until next time, be the best!
-Coach Brandon
