Brad "B-Rad" Nelson Rap Sheet

Brad Nelson is an internationally-known fat loss and performance expert based in Woodbury/St. Paul Minnesota where he owns and operates Kinetic Edge Performance, Inc. —a state-of-the-art legal torture chamber. He is relentless in his quest to find new sadistic methods to deliver creative ‘beatdowns.’ You have found Brad one of two ways—fate or some ill friend is playing a joke on you. Intuition tells you to indulge in Brad’s training style and witness your body remodel into looking great naked.

Brad took an interest in weight training at the young age of 15 and quickly discovered his unique fascination with the human body. He has since donated his mind and body to the art of science. In his spare time he enjoys being a student of life. This includes being a nerdy non-fiction bookworm, a rag doll for his martial arts teacher, exploring the boundaries of his own athletic ability, partaking in UFC bedlam, marveling in the genius of Seinfeld, witnessing his Bengal cat Trigg stalk his wife’s high-maintenance Spaniel Penelope, being pack leader for his king-of-the-castle Boerboel Mastiff Diesel, engaging in friendly banter with anyone who dares, and being served humble-pie daily by his beautiful spit-fire wife Jordan.

Brad holds every client accountable to attain unwavering results. Whether you want to get out of pain, seek body transformation, or pursue greater athletic potential…fortunately you have found the Holy Grail. Contact Brad today!
