Bradley Stern BS, MBA

Bradley completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder and his graduate studies at California State University, Sacramento. He has been a certified personal trainer and wellness coach and business entrepreneur since 1987, though his first introduction to the healthy lifestyle was on the athletic side of the equation. He has had international level competitive experience in both cycling and triathlon, taking him from Colorado to Switzerland to Hawaii. He is the frame designer and original owner, in partnership with Villiger Bicycles Switzerland and Swiss Army Brands, of Swiss Army Mountain Bicycles, started in 1993.
Bradley has held positions in personal training supervision and management, sports complex general management and corporate wellness design and oversight. Parallel to this work, Bradley started his own personal training and coaching practice, working with a select group of private and small group clients. He is a published writer, a national presenter for ACE and, in the past, been a university lecturer in the field. He is also a past member of both the Hawaii and California Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports and a past member of the United States Olympic Committee.
Bradley’s current practice now splits between small group consulting and individual work ranging from physical activity promotion to elite sports conditioning and mindfulness integration. To facilitate his clients’ successes, Bradley uses a wide variety of tools; these could include physical training and the discipline of commitment, goal setting and tracking and introduction to internal motivation, to name a few. Mindfulness in the moment is central to his work; concentration skills allows for the slowing down of movement and thought to speed up both physical and mental acuity. This guides the ability to focus on the here and now, helping create the balance that all aspire to.
Philosophy
For the twenty years that I have been a personal trainer and wellness coach, it surprises me when I hear of others in this field who promise to be all things to all people. I, like almost every other, am not an expert in all the modalities that elevate individuals to live better lives. Outstanding knowledge, skill, motivation and information are tools my clients deserve when they hire me. Because of this, I created Kumu Bodyworks Partnership, a new, interactive model for health and wellness on the personal and corporate level. We at Kumu Bodyworks form a team of individuals, nationally and internationally known experts who are directly accessible by our clients, and each other, as resource experts. We are true experts in our fields; Kumu Bodyworks encompasses true wellness over a range of modalities. It is my hope that you, as my client, will see us and access us as a team, whose combined knowledge, wisdom and energy are directed towards your increased health and long term well-being.
