His passion for the health and wellness industry expanded soon-after in Santa Monica, California, where he began managing and operating 220 Fitness while additionally developing himself as a private and group trainer.
In his duality, Brett evolved into realizing his desire to revisit his skills in the direct-to-consumer business.

With its simple, easy-to-use design that can be set up in 20 seconds, the Bellabooty Belt gives you a comfortable and efficient way to hold dumbbells, kettlebells, and even plates. The slip-resistant padding also eliminates the risk of having the weight slide or it digging into your hips, making hip thrusts much more comfortable and less awkward than using a barbell.
