BRAD STONE
A graduate of CBC HS in 2003 Brad was a multi-sport athlete playing
baseball and basketball. Upon graduation, he went on a baseball scholarship to Quincy University in Illinois where he received all-conference honors all three years and was First Team all-Region and an All American as a Junior.
Drafted twice, in 2005 by the Houston Astros in the 31st round and again in 2006 by the Florida Marlins in the 12th round. He played for 6 years including two at AAA New Orleans before retiring after an arm injury.
For almost two decades Brad has been a private pitching instructor in the St. Louis area and a strength coach since 2012, owning his own business since 2015. He has worked with hundreds of athletes from the high school, college, and professional ranks. He has also helped coach with Bishop DuBourg High School during their state championship season as well as Webster University and St. Mary’s High School.
In the weight room, Brad has over 20 years experience on both sides of the equation, as a coach and a client. Having been an athlete for most of his life he has had access to some world class coaching. These opportunities to learn from the best in the business have helped him formulate his personal
philosophies and create the foundation for his career as a strength coach.
“My unique perspective, having been a client and a coach, allows me to see all sides of the equation. I know what works to be motivated and pushed as an athlete as well as what needs to be done as your coach. Having been a client allows me to understand the day to day struggles real people go through and how to help push through the tougher days!”

spenser stokes
My name is Spenser Stokes, and I have been working as a Health and Fitness Coach for close to 6 years now, and I have been a dedicated fitness enthusiast for well over a decade. In that time I have dabbled in nearly every circle of the fitness community ranging from: Barbell training, free weights, calisthenics, sport performance. You name it, I have probably tried it, however my passion and speciality lies withing the Body-weight fitness realm. It is the backbone of my training philosophy.
When the lock-down first started back in March of 2020 I, like many others, was pushed out of my comfort zone, and was challenged to adapt my style. During that time I fell back onto my roots in body-weight fitness with a shift in mentality to focus more on how to take care of the body for the sake of longevity both in the gym, and in the real world. Since then I have been moving pain and injury free. In addition to dedicated resistance training I have developed a movement system based around ‘natural-movement’ to help strengthen and support our mobility, joint health, and core strength.
I am very passionate about biomechanics, posture re-balancing, and driving adaption in the human body. I pride myself on being able to meet my clients at their current fitness level (wherever on the spectrum that may be) and build from there. My personal goal for every session I have it is: To have my clients leave my session moving and feeling better than when they first walked into the session.
