Bret Contreras (http://bretcontreras.com) is considered by many as the foremost expert in glutes training. Bret has authored books, written numerous sports-science related articles, as well as adds the title of inventor to his attributes thanks to his creation of "The Hip Thruster."
Although Bret works with a variety of clients, it is his long list of female clients who have found success in not only reshaping their bodies, via Bret's coaching, but reshaping and redefining what it means to have a great set of glutes. Just look at the before and after shots on his testimonials page, & you'll see what we mean.
