I recently had the privilege of working with Bryan as I was contemplating the next step in my fitness career, and the experience was nothing short of transformative. From the very first conversation, Bryan demonstrated an exceptional ability to listen deeply and understand my unique situation.

What truly set Bryan apart was his knack for asking tough, probing questions that challenged my mindset and pushed me to look within for answers. These questions weren't easy to confront, but they were exactly what I needed to uncover my true motives and desires. Rather than providing ready-made solutions, Bryan guided me to find my own answers, fostering a sense of empowerment and self-reliance.

Bryan brings some serious, hard-won wisdom to this experience, and provides a ton a valuable insights along the way. His ability to “get it” / see through your excuses (?) is remarkable. Top it off with his flexibility and willingness to meet you where you’re at, and it’s a coaching experience I’d highly recommend.

I've know Brian for many years, since our time working together at Disney. Then as is now, Bryan is a natural coach and mentor who approaches people with compassion, humility and empathy. Recently going through some challenging times, Bryan has been a true friend, a counselor and has held me accountable to stay on the right path in my journey. Highest recommendation for Bryan.

Bryan Yates, the founder and a former amateur cyclist, brings a unique perspective to mental coaching. His invaluable insights are tailored to individual needs, ensuring a customized experience.

I have been working with Bryan as a mental fitness coach for 15 months now, and I don’t plan on ending our collaboration anytime soon! Through Bryan’s guidance, I’ve learned practical strategies to manage stress, enhance focus, and improve overall well-being.

Additionally, the flexibility of virtual sessions has made it convenient for my busy schedule.

His no-nonsense approach has been instrumental in helping me overcome mental hurdles. Honestly, it feels like Bryan sees right through me and intuitively knows when to push me further by challenging me and when to ease up when addressing sore pain points.

I wholeheartedly recommend Locomotiv Performance Coaching for anyone seeking transformative and sustainable growth. My mental fitness will be thanking you for years to come, Bryan!

Bryan has the unique gift of a seeing, caring heart. He challenges in a loving way—he has sent me wayyy out of my comfort zone, but all the while I still felt unconditionally supported. He is laser focused, and has a knack for identifying strengths in our perceived weaknesses. I’m happy he made me do the work, and helped me see things/habits/thought patterns from a different perspective.

I have worked with Bryan for many years and honestly, I hope to work with him for many more. The person I am now is different than the person I was when I started working with BY. My life is more full, and it comes from the inside out. My confidence has grown immeasurably. For once in my life I feel comfortable in my own skin. Bryan is the real deal. You have to do the hard work, but in return he gives you all of himself. He is honest and has a gift for pushing his clients past their hard boundaries into these beautiful wide open spaces of exponential growth. Growth that I certainly didn’t expect and never thought was possible. He saw what I couldn’t see in myself and I am forever grateful for that. You can go to a seminar or read a self-help book. And maybe that will help for a while, but the work that gets done with Bryan sticks with you. His words and Bryanisms - they always come to me at exactly the right moment. I am a firm believer that everyone needs a little Bryan in their lives. He has his own unique style of coaching and mentoring that is unlike anything I have experienced before. He is a game changer. Magic wrapped up in this cheeky, wise, and unbelievably talented package. I love him and hate him all at the same time. It just works - perfectly.

I recently had the opportunity to engage in a collaborative coaching session with Bryan and benefit from his advice and experience as a Performance Coach For middle-aged creative business professionals craving deep clarity, balance, focus & momentum in work & life.
Bryan shared his view of the coaching industry as well as valuable insights and anecdotes from his own journey.
Bryan's empathetic nature combined with active listening were apparent throughout our exchange and confirmed that he had a genuine interest in understanding my questions and concerns, while also taking the time to acknowledge and validate my own experience and background.
Bryan incorporated appropriately challenging questions into the conversation which helped frame a thoughtful plan of action and he followed up to ensure accountability including an invitation to his coaching group, The Inner Circle, for additional insight and a broader perspective from other peers.
I recommend Bryan for his insightful coaching, which has enriched my perspective. Thanks, Bryan, for your willingness to share your knowledge and experience. I look forward to additional exchanges in the future!

Bryan made me feel like my story mattered. He not just listened, he extended himself and empathized with me. He is genuine and full of compassion. I believe he has a selfless drive to help people in search of happiness and confidence find it.
