Training with Brandon is a winning experience. Professional, personable and great at what he does. I would recommend training with Brandon to someone on any fitness level. he takes into account everything specific to you and designs a workout perfect to fit your needs. I have been working with him for a few months and his uplifting positive energy and encouragement provide a great environment that help me push myself to my full potential. If youre serious about improving your health and fitness train with Brandon and enjoy the results that follow.

I’m a keep it real. I’ve tried numerous trainers in Philly but none were the perfect fit for me. A close friend of mine kept telling me to reach out to Brandon and give him a shot. Four months later, and I am in the best shape of my life. He is dedicated to his craft and helping you reach your goals no matter your current fitness level.

The Gym by Brandon RaSean has done nothing short of change my life. I first reached out to Brandon in late November to try to get some last minute help ahead of a trip that I was going on. I wasnt quite sure what to expect, but I knew that whatever I had been doing previously hadnt worked.From day one, Brandon took interest in my goals and motivated me, not only while I was at The Gym, but at random times throughout the week. Weve worked through a plethora of cardio routines, mastered a level (or two) of high intensity interval training, and now we are in the strength training phase of my journey.The best part about The Gym, and Brandon in particular is that there is never a session that mirrors a previous one. Everything is customized so there is never a dull moment, which helps to keep the client engaged. He is also one of the most positive people that Ive ever met, so even when you are messing up a circuit or taking a set off, he continues to smile and motivate.After four months of training, I am down twenty-two pounds and believe to be in the best shape of my life. I look good and feel great.Im confident that Brandon will continue to change lives throughout Philadelphia. If you are in the area and want to get in shape, you should look to book your free consultation. He will not disappoint!

Ive been working with Brandon for about 2 years. My endurance, strength, and flexibility has increased tremendously! No workout is every the same. He motivates you to do better. And you will be on that scale so keep your diet clean while working with him!

I’ve have been training with Brandon for close to a year and can’t recommend him enough. Every workout is exciting and challenging and Brandon motivates you to push yourself to help reach whatever goal you have. Every workout is tailored to you personally in a clean, fun, and comfortable environment. If you want to reach fitness and overall health levels you didn’t think you could then training with Brandon is the right decision.

I’ve been working twice a week with Brandon for a little over a month and its really changed my exercise routine/knowledge in a super great way. Straight of the bat, Brandon helped me understand how to work towards my fitness goals with a good understanding as to why certain types of workouts would help achieve them. Every session I feel like I learn something new that I can take outside the gym. I’ve honestly seen a big difference since working with him and I highly recommend him as a trainer.

Brandon is the most positive, motivating individual I’ve worked with in my entire life. He constantly uplifts his clients through productive communication and positive reinforcement. I would absolutely recommend anyone of any fitness level to spend some time with Brandon getting in shape. You won’t regret it! If I could give him 10 stars I would.

Ive been working out with Brandon for about 3 months now. Never worked out before but he keeps it challenging. I hated working out but with the variety of exercises hell have you do, it keeps you motivated. His knowledge of working out different muscle groups is excellent to maximize each session. I highly recommend him to anyone whos looking for a personal trainer that is dedicated to personalize your workout needs.

Working Out has always been something that’s important to me, but was never something I enjoyed doing. However, since I started personal training at The Gym by Brandon RaSean, I can honestly say I look forward to every session and that’s all because of Brandon!Brandon’s endless energy, positivity and genuine passion for fitness and his clients are a few of the qualities that immediately stood out to me and made me want to work with him.From the beginning, Brandon has taken my personal fitness goals into consideration and has designed workouts that guarantee that I see the results that we discussed during my complimentary consultation.Within a month of training with Brandon, I have lost 5 pounds but most importantly gained a new confidence in not only my body but in myself. He knows how to push you just enough, where you don’t feel discouraged and always leave wanting to come back for more!

Been working out with Brandon one on one for two months now and don’t have a bad thing to say. Great coach, motivator, extremely flexible, affordable, and makes sure to keep things fresh and fun. Highly recommend him to anyone at any level of working out. Follows covid protocol too in case you are looking for a less crowded workout during the pandemic

Brandons positive attitude is unmatched and makes every killer workout feel like fun. He gets me to do exercises and use equipment Id never use on my own so every workout feels fresh. His attention to my form has helped me get through injuries without having to give up the gym and has also helped improve my strength and flexibility to avoid future injuries.Brandon isnt like other trainers that charge to watch you use machines you could have used on your own. He puts a ton of thought into individualizing every workout based on my needs/goals and his personal training rates are so affordable it almost makes me feel guilty. Well worth the money and feel lucky to have found a lifelong trainer and friend like Brandon Rasean.

I love the energy and vibe of this place! I came to one of the group sessions before COVID and not only was it a work out, but it was a lot of fun. (Amazing playlist, if thats important to you). Everyone from the trainers to the gym members are super supportive. Theres graffiti art on the walls and the lights are bright so it almost feels like youre outside. Brandon was the trainer for that session and he really pushes you to be and do your best when youre here. Highly recommend training here if you want good vibes, good music, and a challenging workout.

I’ve been training with Brandon for five months. It has been a dope experience. This is my first time having a personal trainer and he holds up to his title! He not only cares about your physical health but also cares about your mental health. He is a great motivator and is gd at making each session unique! Five stars doesn’t do this fellow any justice. The Gym brings the vibes lol (especially the music)..

The Gym is exactly what I was looking for after doing CrossFit for a couple of years. Private space with a great vibe. All the equipment you need, no crowds, good music, friendly people, flexible hours. Brandon is AMAZING. His positive energy, knowledge and professionalism are top-notch and make fitness effortless. Grateful for a place like this, especially during COVID.

I’ve been training with Brandon for almost a year, and he has taught me so much! I’ve never been in better shape. He tailors the workouts to your specific needs and is willing to help in any way he can. The hours are very flexible as well, which is convenient with a busy schedule like mine. I would highly recommend Culture Philly!

What can I say that others already havent?! Culture Philly is truly an amazing, life-changing place. John, Brandon, and the other trainers are truly the best. Ive been working with John since August 2018. He helped me, and my partner, lose weight and get fit (I lost over 45lbs!). Ive continued working with John because of his dedication to his clients, his professionalism, and his desire to help people exceed their goals. I look forward to continuing to work with John and reaching new fitness goals.

John is great! Ive been training with him, as a beginner, for a bit over a month now, and highly recommend. You get full bang for your buck at Culture Philly — knowledgeable, science-supported training, one-on-one attention, and super reasonable prices. Very cool space in Fairmount, as well.

My fiance and I were looking for a trainer in the neighborhood to help us get in shape for our wedding. Culture Gym was close and had great reviews so we decided to check it out and are happy we did! John is easy to talk to, listens to our goals and takes time with each us to make sure we have proper form and are building muscle the right way. He even takes time to explain the science behind it, which is pretty interesting. Looking forward to continuing our workout journey here!

I’ve really enjoyed my workouts so far with Brandon. I work a lot so hes super flexible with my schedule. It’s been awhile since working out too so he’s been great with helping me getting back into shape in terms of creating a fitness plan for me. The workouts are also challenging so I feel I’m making improvements towards the fitness goals I hope to achieve. Another plus, the workouts are afforable, the training space is super nice and clean and its the best personal 1 on 1 training deal I’ve seen around here.

Brandon was such a pleasure to work with at Culture Philly Gym! It was my first time working with a trainer, so I was a little nervous - but he made everything challenging but fun at the same time! The gym itself is great and I had a great time while getting in a great workout. Will definitely be going back again!

Where do I even begin? Brandon at Culture Philly has completely changed my entire relationship with fitness. I went from hating the gym and being convinced that I’d never be able to lift more than a 12 lb kettlebell, to absolutely being in love with being active. I’ve been going to Culture Philly consistently for about 3 months, and I have zero intentions on training anywhere else for the foreseeable future. Every week I’m amazed at my progress and just how far I’ve come from my initial consultation. I’ve even convinced my husband to go and he’s excited to continue training there as well.Brandon is an amazing, friendly, knowledgeable and supportive trainer who will give you the confidence to go beyond what you “think” you can achieve, while challenging you to be the best/strongest version of yourself.If you’re reading this, do yourself a favor right now... go to their website, sign up for a free consultation and get prepared to have your life changed for the better. Future you will be thankful!

Ive had several sessions with Brandon so far and boy does he push you. Im sore for 1-2 days after our workouts! Brandon is very knowledgeable and works with you to meet your personal fitness goals. He also has an infectious energy that makes the hour session go by so quickly. I highly recommend Culture Philly gym!

I absolutely LOVE this gym. Felt like home from my first visit. Everyone I have met so far, has been nice, from the trainers to the members. Ive been training with Brandon for two weeks now, and I ALREADY see and feel a difference in my body. Hes very knowledgeable and attentive, and will structure your workout program to fit YOUR needs and YOUR goals. If youre looking for a trainer, Brandon is your guy!

I cant recommend Culture Philly and Johnny enough. Since the moment I met Johnny in September, my life has changed. Ive struggled for years to get off the weight that I gained since college. Through my sessions with Johnny (both 1:1 and boot camp classes) I have not only lost a significant amount of weight but have gained a love of working out that I have not been able to find since I competitively swam. Hes patient and pushes me without yelling and screaming throughout the challenging workouts. He is dedicated to his clients outside of the gym as well, reviewing nutritional logs and providing advice to ensure results are achieved. Hes been super flexible and always available which shows me how invested he is to his clients. I looked better than I ever expected at my wedding this past Fall thanks to Johnny and the Culture family.

So I don’t post much, and I definitely don’t ever really take time to leave reviews online, but felt this to be worth the exception. After I came back from vacation this summer I felt like I needed to make changes. I was extremely lucky to find an awesome gym and trainer in my neighborhood. Providing accountability, helping with nutrition advice, keeping me from getting complacent with new exercises, and doing it all in an environment that’s very comfortable and private has been exactly what I needed. From day 1 when I had my free first session, John has been someone that I can trust to understand my goals and help me achieve them. The whole environment, including Brandon (another trainer), at Culture Philly is always one that motivates me but is also never intimidating. Definitely owe a lot of how great I finished 2018 - down more than 50lbs - to these two and Culture Philly. They say the best form of advertisement is word of mouth, and I can not recommend them enough to anyone, no matter what point you’re starting from, that wants to make a positive change in their health & fitness.

Great atsmosphere for anyone at any fitness level. They have a way of working out that makes you want to return for the next session. Not to mention the trainers are super helpful and super friendly. If you get a chance to check it out ask for the bul with the braids, I think his name was Brandon and he’ll get you rollin from there.
