Bromley was born at Scotts Ferry, but lived most of his life in or near Marton, New Zealand. He ran long distances from school age, and later averaged 120 km per week in training, often exceeding 160 km. One year he ran nearly 20,000 km. His long-time rival Arthur Lydiard once remarked: "I could never beat Brom in a marathon. He had too many miles in his legs." In 1937 Bromley married Patricia. They had four children.
