A Transformative Impact
Kal (Kalpanati Javon Broderick), owner of PEACEFUL TRAINING, has always possessed an extraordinary passion and aptitude for athletics. From a young age, his natural ability and drive to excel in sports were evident. At just four years old, Kal embarked on a transformative journey by learning the art of Mindfulness and Transcendental Meditation from none other than Sri Chinmoy, a three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee and world-renowned meditation teacher.
This early introduction to mindfulness laid the foundation for Kal's athletic and personal philosophy. As he developed his skills, Kal realized the profound impact of integrating meditative discipline into his training. This combination elevated his athletic pursuits to a level that few elite athletes achieve.
"While running competitively, I realized that along with setting my sights on outer success, running must also become an inner quest—a quest for peace within. This realization transformed my focus from attachment to external results to the joy of the run itself and the peace that followed."
Kal competed at the collegiate level for Georgetown University and later professionally with Nike, where mindfulness, meditation, and a healthy diet were the cornerstones of his success. These practices helped him not only achieve peak physical performance but also foster mental resilience and an enduring sense of purpose.
After retiring from competitive running in 2010, Kal founded PEACEFUL TRAINING, bringing together decades of experience in athletics and mindfulness. His philosophy emphasizes traditional strength training with a focus on sustainability, muscle growth, weight loss, and reverse aging. He specializes in helping individuals achieve long-term results by fostering a balanced approach to fitness that benefits both the body and the mind.
Since launching PEACEFUL TRAINING, Kal has had the privilege of coaching individuals and groups, witnessing profound transformations in their physical and emotional well-being. This work continues to fuel his passion and dedication.
Today, Kal leads by example as a business owner, coach, husband, and father to three young boys. For him, personally embodying the Peaceful Training Philosophy is essential—not just for maintaining his health and vitality, but also for staying grounded and present in his daily life. His mission remains to empower others to achieve their goals, live healthier lives, and experience the inner peace that comes from mindful movement and purposeful training.
