I was born and raised in the Midwest before moving to San Diego. I lived in Chicago for several years before moving to San Diego and deciding to 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 played sports & have been a very active individual, but still felt I lacked proper knowledge to get me to my fitness goals. As a kid I enjoyed playing baseball, soccer, basketball, martial arts, & running. During 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 overall health, & gaining more lean body mass than I previously ever though was possible for myself. While I continue to set new goals to conquer for myself, I have made it my mission to help as many other 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 & getting to help 100's of clients of achieve their goals, I left and started Body By Dave Fitness. My training methods are practical, efficient, & extremely effective in helping clients of any background getting into and staying in the best shape of their lives by learning how to workout smarter, not harder.
