Hi! My name is Brooklyn Hillenbrand - owner and founder of the Built Brand! I'm 27 years old based out of San Diego, California where I relocated after graduating college with my B.S. in Health Sciences/Pre-Physical Therapy and Nutrition. Throughout my 4 years in school, I played collegiate level soccer for 2 years to then transition into competitive bodybuilding where I went on to compete in 8 shows around the USA, earning national qualifications and placing 1st at Collegiate Nationals in 2018. I started my personal training career out of my home gym in high school (2015) with neighbors and family friends to get my start in the field. At the time, I also started working atLifetime Fitness as a Kids Club Trainer/Group Fitness Instructor. I later transferred to Power Train Sports Institution, a sports performance based gym where I worked as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer for 3+ years. Nearing the end of my senior year of college, I decided to further pursue my passion of personal training and start my own business leveraging the social media presence I built during my time in school. In May 2019, I officially launched my subscription training membership 'Body by Brooklyn' and began promoting my online coaching services to the public. From there on, we have grown into a worldwide fitness and wellness brand serving women all over the world! Our mission and vision is to help as many women as possible become confident in the weight room; become the BEST, strongest versions of themselves; and achieve a beautiful life/fitness balance! Fitness truly saved me after going through my 3rd knee surgery at 17 years old after coming back from playing soccer overseas. I was in a very dark place as everything I'd been working towards my entire childhood vanished in one single play. Lifting was what gave me back my strength when I was at my weakest. Now my goal is to show every woman that her strength is POWERFUL... and she can be truly unstoppable. 3 words to describe me as a coach is... empathetic, motivating and adaptable. My communication style is assertive and I greatly value open communication between my clients and I. We are a team and we can only work as one with open, honest communication across the board! My specialities include bodybuilding/power building style training and flexible dieting through macro tracking.
