About Me

Bachelor’s in Neuroscience. Graduated Division 1 SEC student athlete. CPT and NASM Nutrition Coach. My passion for men’s health and discipline evolved into a mission: helping those who take care of everyone else first rebuild the confidence, strength, and identity they once had.

I started Hicks Athletics with one goal: to help men rebuild themselves from the inside out. Dads, business owners, busy professionals—those who’ve traded their fitness for responsibility—all without giving up their favorite foods.

Today, Hicks Athletics does exactly that. By providing personalized services and lifestyle accountability we create real, lasting change.

Services

Progress doesn’t happen if only 50% is dialed in. That’s why I started Online Fitness Coaching to guarantee results. I combine personalized strength training, cardio, daily movement, and nutrition protocols to deliver lasting results designed to fit your life, not take it over. Every plan is built around you—your schedule, your habits, your goals.
This isn’t an app. It’s not a one-size-fits-all plan. It’s a partnership built around you, your progress, and your purpose—because us men are called to be more than just providers, but warriors.
Designed for those who are ready to take control of their health and rediscover their strength. Every session is built around your goals, fitness level, and lifestyle—with expert guidance on form, intensity, and progression so you get results safely and efficiently.
You’ll train in a private, focused environment at Frankie’s Body Shop—a space dedicated to real work and real growth. Whether you’re rebuilding your foundation, chasing peak performance, or simply wanting to feel confident again, this is where it starts.

What people have to say about us:

“He’s motivating, encouraging, and pushes me further than I could ever push myself on my own. Cannot recommend him enough! Best decision I’ve ever made for my health + fitness journey”

Zar Omari
“I have reached my goals and continue to make more gains!”

Griffin David
“I am amazed at his wisdom and especially his listening skills. He pays attention to how my body is responding to the training: he takes great care to make decisions and adjustments as we work together... his nutrition counseling has improved my nutrition and protein intake. I highly recommend Braden and his training and nutrition expertise.”

Caryl Russel
“Braden is the real deal! Absolutely knows how to break down food and nutrition as well the fitness aspect to help you achieve your goals. He is great at meeting you where you are at physically and emotionally!”

Dory Nicol
“No one has been quite so attentive and accommodating as Braden has. Not only is he physically fit himself, but he is educated and actually has knowledge behind what he is having you train...Braden asks you what your goals are and tailors your training to that. He doesn't do anything or make you do anything outside of that...I'm looking forward to continuing my training with him and seeing myself become the better version of me. Thanks Braden.”
