David Troupin, Founder

My name is David Troupin. I was born & raised in St. Peters, Missouri. I lived in Chicago for several years before deciding San Diego, California was the place I would like to call home & set down roots. In 2008, I became a certified personal trainer with the NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine), ACE (American Council on Exercise), & NESTA (National Exercise & Sports Training Association).

Throughout my life I have played sports & been a very active individual, but still felt I lacked the proper knowledge to get me my fitness goals. As a kid I enjoyed playing baseball, soccer, basketball, martial arts & running. Throughout my adolescence I was plagued with constant plateaus & multiple injuries.

Since becoming a personal trainer I have achieved multiple goals such as getting stronger, leaner, increased stamina, better health & gaining more lean muscle then I had ever thought possible. While I continue to set new goals to conquer I have made it my mission to help as many people overcome any obstacle in their way to getting into the best shape of their lives.

After working for 24 Hour Fitness for several years & helping 100’s of clients achieve their fitness goals, I left the corporate environment & started Body by Dave Personal Training. My training method is practical, efficient, & extremely effective in helping clients of any background to get into the best shape of their lives by working out smarter not harder.
