Owner & CEO | Personal Trainer
Patrick
Patrick Nelson is the chief visionary behind
B-FAAST, with over 25 years of experience in sports-specific training and fitness training. He spent most of his youth pursuing a professional career in the NFL, but the lack of academic support throughout grade-school led to major setbacks. After playing college football for some time, Pat shifted gears and pursued a Masters degree in Counseling; with the combination of his sports skills and counseling knowledge, Patrick founded B-FAAST with the intent to motivate the youth and provide them the support that HE needed.
Patrick currently owns and operates the B-FAAST facility. He offers ELITE Transformation personal training, hosts group bootcamps, and manages internal B-FAAST affairs.
