Hi! I'm Brandi Stoessel, a dedicated fitness coach based in Pasadena, California.

For much of my life, I was stuck in a loop of self-destructive behaviors driven by shame and self-criticism. I was living on autopilot, repeating the same unhealthy patterns both mentally and physically.

It wasn’t until I found strength training that everything began to shift. Movement became my gateway to truly tuning in to myself, and for the first time, I began to take care of my body from a place of compassion, not punishment. That connection sparked a deeper journey of healing.

My own health and fitness path has been full of challenges and growth, but each step has taught me something invaluable. Now, as a coach, I use those lessons to help others break free from the self-sabotage I know so well.

We all have the power to rewrite the stories that hold us back 🫶

The Heart of My Work

I believe that Fitness is Self-Love in Motion.

At BodySense, my mission is to help others transform their mindset and relationship around exercise—from one that is restrictive and punishing to one that is nourishing and expansive. Together, we’ll rewrite the story of you and exercise, showing how one step today can change the trajectory of your life and how you choose to show up for yourself and those around you.

The Greatest Gift You Can Offer Your Body is Movement —

At Body Sense | Movement Coaching, I offer three core services designed to help you build strength, confidence, and sustainable habits that go beyond the gym.

1:1 Private Coaching

Work with me one-on-one for highly personalized fitness coaching. We’ll start with a deep dive into brain mapping and goal setting, followed by a fitness assessment to create a custom program tailored to your needs and goals. I’m with you every step of the way, offering accountability and support to keep you moving forward. I utilize streaks and personalized challenges to help you stay in alignment with your goals, and I also encourage journaling to foster self-awareness and reflection.

Semi-Private Training

Prefer to train with others? Join a small group for semi-private sessions where you’ll receive individualized attention while benefiting from the energy and camaraderie of a group setting. Semi-private sessions still include a personalized approach, ensuring you get the best of both worlds—community and personal progress.

NEW: Body Sense Monthly Subscription Program

Unlock a deeper connection with yourself and transform your fitness journey with Body Sense’s new monthly online program. This subscription offers a unique blend of personalized coaching and dedicated support, designed to bring you the benefits of Brandi Stoessel’s holistic approach from anywhere.

The Impact of Movement

What is the Bodysense tribe saying?

  • Thanks to her, I not only achieved my fitness goals but also had a smooth, healthy pregnancy.

    Brandi is truly amazing! I couldn't be more thankful to have her as my trainer. When we first met, I told her my goal was to get healthy to prepare for pregnancy. Brandi designed a personalized workout and meal plan that got me in the best shape of my life…She continuously adjusted my workouts to fit each stage of pregnancy, ensuring I stayed on track and safe. I'm so grateful to have given birth to a healthy baby girl, and I owe so much of that to Brandi's support and expertise.

    -Dalila C.

  • We've been training with Brandi/Body Sense as a couple for almost 3 years and could not be happier with the results.

    Her encouragement and guidance on working through injuries has been especially helpful. What makes her stand out is her ability to create personalized workouts that cater to both of us, even though we have different fitness goals. She's helped me focus on strength and flexibility while working with my boyfriend on building muscle and improving mobility. The attention to detail and the customized plans she's designed for each of us have been spot-on. Also, she gives the best high fives :)

    -Robin W. & Brad R.

  • Her support goes beyond just fitness--you learn so much from her about taking care of yourself both physically and mentally.

    I've been training with Brandi for close to a year now, and I couldn't be happier! She's incredibly thoughtful, especially when it comes to working around my knee arthritis. I never feel like I'm being pushed beyond what's safe for my body, but I still get a great workout. What sets her apart is how much she truly cares about your overall well-being. She remembers the little details, which makes you feel really special, and it's easy to build a genuine connection with her…She listens carefully to my goals, keeps me accountable with regular check-ins, and refreshes the workout plan every few months to keep things exciting. She pushes you to reach your potential, but always in a motivating, non-aggressive way. If you're looking for a trainer who cares deeply about your progress and well-being, I can't recommend Brandi enough!

    -Sharon S.

  • I have been training with Brandi for quite some time now and one of the reasons why I continue the journey with her is because of the intense level of dedication she invests!

    She is extremely detailed when it comes to form and accuracy, super caring about ultimate goals and spends a great amount of time making sure that there is preparation happening before and outside of the workouts to make the session valuable! It has been great to witness her incredible growth as a trainer and her ability to cater to last minute adjustments and her consistency is unmatched!!

    -Eddie F.

  • I've been training with Brandi for about 3 years now maybe longer and I couldn't be happier with my results. We focus on strength training, building muscle and flexibility. We have also worked on my sprained ankle.

    She's patient and cares about my well being; physically and mentally. Brandi overall has a great vibe, positive energy and you will not be disappointed. I'm so lucky to have her as my trainer!

  • You’ve showed me my own strength, literally and figuratively.

    Thank you for being the best trainer/friend to me this summer! I have enjoyed getting to know you and also lifting some weights! You have allowed me to feel more comfortable & confident with myself!
