Brenden Platt
Coach at Xtra Mile Fitness

In 2011, Brenden graduated college from Missouri State University with a BS in Kinesiology. During this time, he completed a 210-hour internship at Crossfit Springfield. It was during this experience that he realized his passion for helping improve the health, fitness, and wellness of others. Brenden believes the best investment you can ever make is in your own health. Crossfit provides a wonderful, unique experience and opportunity that allows individuals with all backgrounds the chance for their own personal investment in a fun, engaging way.

Accumulating over a decade of hands-on experience and coaching hundreds of classes has allowed him to specialize in group fitness training, exercise prescription, fitness assessments, and weightlifting. As a coach, his goal is to ensure that members leave the gym feeling empowered and more knowledgeable than when they walked in.

One of his favorite proverbs is – ‘Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.’ It is more worthwhile to teach someone to do something for themselves than to do it for them.
