Brandon Sands is the owner and founder of Better Bodies. With over 20 years of personal training experience and 15 years of rehabilitation experience, Brandon is equipped with the skillset and knowledge to work with a diverse array of clients, including those with various fitness goals and levels.

 

Brandon is a US Army veteran who served in combat in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) from 2006 to 2008, during which he oversaw the physical fitness and wellness of his team. His passion for rehab and fitness began when he was in the army and had to rehab a broken ankle following a parachuting accident. During the time of the injury, he became increasingly out of shape and refers to it as his “humbling experience.”

 

To enhance his skills as a personal trainer and better understand the human body's anatomy, Brandon attended Keiser University, where he obtained an Associate of Science degree in Physical Therapist Assistant and became a state-licensed Physical Therapist Assistant. He strongly believes in addressing all levels of fitness and recovering properly to maximize optimal performance.

 

To further assist his clients in recovering properly and staying mobile/flexible for optimal performance, Brandon attended the Stretch to Win Institute in February 2019, adding the credential of Certified Fascial Stretch Therapist to his extensive resume. He is the first Fascial Stretch Therapy Provider of Saint Augustine, Florida.

 

Brandon is genuinely dedicated to providing the highest quality of training and recovery services to his clients and looks forward to helping YOU!​​
