Pursuit Health and Wellness Coaching
Flourish at home and work for the long haul by changing your daily habits.
Healthier You - Healthier Home Life - Healthier Work Life
Too Much to Do.
Too Little Time.
It’s easy to feel frustrated (and sometimes guilty) when you don’t have time for the people and other priorities that are most important to you.
Self-care, family life, professional development and spiritual formation can all be neglected when the walls are closing in.
You are not alone.
The fact is…
It truly is overwhelming when it seems like things are slipping through the cracks.
This doesn’t make you a loser or a failure (or whatever your favorite personal put down is).
It’s actually a good thing that you are concerned about what is being left undone.
You just need some new skills for prioritizing, gaining clarity and taking action in these areas without letting everything else fall apart in the meantime.
You can flourish at home and work.
As a board-certified health and wellness coach, I have worked with hundreds of clients who, like you, want to maintain what’s going well and take action on what’s not, without running themselves into the ground.
Health and Wellness Coaching helps you make changes to your day-to-day so that you and your people can thrive.

Brian Allen
MDiv, NBC-HWC
I am the owner and founder of Pursuit.
After more than 20 years in the fitness industry, pastoral work spanning those 20 years along with 15 years of applying coaching principles to management and mentoring, in 2018 I achieved certification as a Health and Wellness Coach through Catalyst Coaching Institute in Colorado. A Chicago native, I began coaching my staff, club members and local college students to achieve both personal and professional goals. In 2020 I became a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach and began Pursuit. I have coached hundreds of people through lifestyle changes, life transitions and personal growth. I now serve as faculty at Catalyst Coaching Institute where I help train coaches in core competencies so they can become the most effective agents of change available. The mission of Pursuit is to contribute to human flourishing through coaching.
I love the LORD, my family, the outdoors, fitness, adventure, exploration, discovery and growth. I geek out over new experiences, approaches to strength and human movement, intellectual pursuits and playing music. I live in Chattanooga, TN and explore its adventures with my wife and eight children.

As one who has had coaching training and have been coached by others, I can commend Brian to you. He is an excellent coach.”
Jimmy D. - Signal Mountain, TN
“It's well worth the investment of time and money if you are stuck in an area or several areas of your life. ”

Are “The Urgent” Things Running Your Life?
I am here to help you thrive.
You are the kind of person who wants to grow at work and home, on the inside and out, to make a remarkable contribution to the people you love.
You intend to see your family (and your team) flourish under your leadership.
In order to accomplish this, you need to
Create a clear, compelling, vision
Identify the actions that will get you there
Ensure these actions make up your daily activities
The problem is that responsibilities pile up and life throws curve balls, which creates confusion and then acting on whatever seems most urgent. As a result, priorities are neglected. This produces concern, frustration and even discouragement.
I don’t believe you should have to tackle this on your own. I understand what it’s like to feel overwhelmed with responsibility and try to carry it alone. It’s not a good combo.
You need a community to support you, and a professional coach is an integral part of that team. As a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, I have helped hundreds of people gain clarity, take action, and keep taking action week after week as their vision takes flight. By connecting these new behaviors to your values, creating a supportive community, along with testing out experimental goals and agile planning among life’s curveballs, I can help you to keep taking action on the things that are important without everything else falling apart.
Here’s how it works:
Schedule a Meet and Greet
Find out if coaching is right for you and whether I am the right coach for you
We Create a Plan Together
Identify your values
Articulate your end game
