Brandon Kolar
50,000+ Sessions Coached · Corrective and Functional Strength Training
Brandon Kolar has spent more than three decades in the fitness industry, starting his first training sessions back in 1991 and earning a degree in Nutritional Science from the University of New Hampshire along the way. Over 50,000 one-on-one sessions later, he specializes in corrective exercise and functional movement — training that meets bodies where they actually are, not where a program says they should be.
He was named Equinox's first-ever Trainer of the Year in 2011 and went on to become a Master Instructor at Equinox's Fitness Training Institute, coaching other trainers on the craft. Today he owns MWMO (Move Well Move Often), a boutique personal training practice in Boston and Andover, MA, and works with clients of every age and ability — including cancer survivors working through various stages of recovery.
Strength, with a story behind every set.
Brandon's coaching blends real programming with real motivation — training the body while rebuilding the mindset that carries it.
Build a base, then expand
No overnight overhauls. Brandon phases in one habit at a time — nutrition, movement, recovery — so progress actually sticks.
Corrective, functional foundations
Every program starts from pain-free movement first — corrective exercise built from 30+ years of seeing what actually works, not just what's on paper.
Programmed for variety
Drawing from a personal library of 100's of documented exercises — with regressions and progressions to fit every skill set — Brandon keeps training fresh so plateaus don't stand a chance.
Coached from real experience
Brandon also works closely with men rebuilding strength through cancer treatment and recovery — coaching shaped by lived experience, not just a certification.
"Build a base, and expand from there. You don't need the perfect plan — you need the next honest rep."

"My overall health and physical wellbeing is in large part due to working with Brandon. I started working with him around 2002, when my body had been greatly diminished by the effects of cancer and chemotherapy. Month by month, year by year, he guided me to be in the best physical shape I've experienced in my entire life. He is simply the best at what he does for mind, body and spirit."
Sandi
"Brandon is a true professional who understands the needs of each of his clients. He works through my injuries and individualizes each session. He is compassionate, knowledgeable and flexible. I've worked with him in person and on FaceTime with equal success. This is one of the most important things I do for myself."
Roz
"I have trained with Brandon for over 12 years and in that time have lost 25 pounds and am the strongest I've been in over 20 years. He employs a comprehensive regime, inclusive of strength, conditioning, injury rehab and nutrition. Brandon is extremely diligent in his preparation and his approach is motivating, engaging and drives results."
Gillis
"Brandon is the best trainer I have ever worked with and a great guy! He is professional, extremely knowledgeable and always provides helpful feedback while you are exercising. My Zoom workouts have been just as effective as they were when I worked out in person. Brandon makes every workout challenging, fun, and is very creative in designing a program that works in your home."
