Our lack of habitual physical activity has left us sedentary and ill. With that, our ideals and values must change.
More than anything, The Brute Lab is an experiment to reestablish the culture of hard work. That’s not just a catchy tag line – it’s what we believe… here’s a bit more of our philosophy if you’re so inclined:
Adam Poltrock
Adam 
has been a personal trainer and coach since 2009. Growing up he was a multi-sport athlete and would serve in the United States Army. As a former paratrooper, numerous injuries had left him in search of physical nourishment and improvement. Throughout his pursuit, he was introduced to an assortment of systems and training protocols. These numerous systems reinforced the fact that we are all uniquely different and in need of specific prescriptions regarding our own health and wellness. This concept was vital to his personal fulfillment, empowering him to influence others through positive lifestyle choices. It is his purpose to share a passion in gaining an optimal quality of life through health and wellness and further alter the understanding of exercise to be widely accepted as preventative medicine. Adam is forever a student, expanding his knowledge, discovering future endeavors and inviting people to join him in positive growth and inspiration.

As a dancer for over 25 years, a CrossFit Masters athlete, and someone who has been actively involved in the fitness industry since 1993, Jeanne is passionate movement and overall health – particularly injuries, illness, and as the aging process effects our ability to function. As the founder of Free Motion Stretch, she believes in helping others move better and feel better so they can live life to the fullest. Movement is freedom – and while many of us take our freedom of movement for granted, the minute it becomes impeded, we are keenly aware of how it affects every aspect of our lives.
