Brian Ingles
Coaching Philosophy
Everyone is capable of great things - physically and mentally. Your fitness journey is exactly that - a journey, with ups, downs, and flat spots.
The journey is also a two-lane street that requires communication, trust, and commitment between the athlete and the coach.
I'll be here for you during the good days and the bad. When life happens, we adjust the plan - not compromise on your goal.
Experience
With almost 10 years of personal training and group coaching experience, Brian has worked with many different types of athletes as well as folks from all sorts of backgrounds and lifestyles.
He earned his B.S in Kinesiology and M.S in Exercise Science from WWU here in Bellingham, and began working as an ACE certified personal trainer in 2015. He now holds a CSCS designation from the NSCA. Over the years Brian has coached individuals, groups, and athletic teams in some capacity to improve their strength and conditioning. In 2020 Brian began Ascent Strength and Conditioning here in Bellingham, which developed competitive mountain bike athletes through physical training. He now owns Trailhead Athletics and is always pursuing continuing education through nutrition, rehab strategies, injury prevention, and performance optimization.
The Rad Stuff!
Growing up Brian had so much energy he drove his parents nuts! Fast forward through 15 years of snowboarding, 10 years of skateboarding and 10 years of mountain biking.... he still won't sit still.
Brian enjoys riding bikes in the woods, snowboarding, fly-fishing, offroading, and slow mornings with a concerningly large cup o' joe.
