In May of 2020 I was stuck on a weight loss plateau that was lasting about 4 months. I knew I was doing something or many things wrong and I wanted to do something about it, but I had no idea what it could be. Did I need to eat even less? Was my exercise routine correct? Social media only helps if you are able to filter the good information from the bad (and I am no expert) so I decided to look for professional help. I started working with Dave that same month. Those first 10 sessions became an almost a year (and still going) partnership that yielded incredible results for me, not only on my personal goals but my education to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Why Dave helped me: 1. Nutritional advice: Dave educated me on macros and meal preparations, also helping me make choices that I can commit to long term (many diets fail once your will power runs out) 2. Transparency: He always advises that most of your progress comes not from the hour you spend with him, but the other 23 you spend by yourself. And he also helped me with those! 3. Proper Exercising: Dave is more focused on teaching you proper posture and movement for exercises than giving you a list of things and watching you do everything wrong. 4. Injuries: If something feels off, Dave is great in finding ways to work around your temporary physical limitations and still challenge your body without making everything worse with "cookie cutter" exercises. 5. Fun: The hour we spend together almost every day is packed with laughter and nice conversations, even when I am almost dead on the floor after a session. Overall, through celebrating success and also dealing with frustration (that he usually refers as "playing chess with your body") I am very happy I met Dave. I am usually out of social media and seldom write any reviews unless I think something is really special. And Dave is just that. read more

Dave is the best trainer I've ever experienced. He's very low key but tough. He's very knowledgeable on technique and makes sure when he's training to show you exactly how to do the particular exercise properly. I can't wait to see my results and one thing that's important to me is he's been through a major weight loss journey and can sympathize with the struggle. And a true bonus is he's a certified nutritionist!! Score!!!! So I get lots of nutrition advice!! So Dave you are awesome! read more

Dave Nelson Fitness - The best Trainer!!! - Trainers Near Me - Corona, California

I have been with Dave since June of this year, and within this short amount of time I have noticed a big improvement in my strength and muscle gain. He helped me clear my head of all the misinformation that is on the internet and got me down to the basics. He really helped me understand what I need to do to reach my goals, if you listen to him and follow the workouts and Marcos he sets for you, you WILL reach your goal. However, that relies on your following what he lays out for you and staying consistent. read more

I have been working out with Dave as a trainer since October 2017 - as a mom of 4 kids and a desire to be actively engaged in their lives, I had personal goals I wanted to achieve (lose the baby fat, get back on the soccer field, feel comfortable in my own skin again). Dave is not the first trainer I have worked out with - but he definitely is the best! He gets reality and also isn't afraid to straight talk you. He motivates but doesn't just cheerlead - he pushes me to push myself. Mentally, I have had to overcome some barriers I did not think I could get through - but with Dave's encouragement and recognition of my abilities, I am well on my way to achieving my goals (and setting new ones!). I highly recommend Dave if you are looking for a trainer that is going to push you, help achieve results, and help you on your journey. read more

Dave is a pleasure to train with. I believe he understands the struggle and the fight it takes to accomplish your goals in fitness and nutrition and even beyond. He wont hold your hand, but he will give you the tools and drive for change. Self accountability is key. Dave gives a positive environment for change and he wont judge you no matter what level of fitness your on. In my opinion he truly cares not just for his clients but anyone trying to accomplish their goals. Before I ever trained with him he would notice if I wasn't in the gym and would write me asking if I was ok and if I still have my eye on the prize. Well done Dave, I would recommend you to anyone. read more

I had been searching for a new gym for several weeks, not necessarily looking for a personal trainer...I came across a post by Dave for a free hour training & assessment & thought I'd see if he had anymore available. He did & I went to see him. That's all it took. I knew after that hour, training with Dave was where I needed to be. Chance had it that I've a friend that used to train with him & now we both are with Dave. It's an amazing partnership. His workouts are intense but fun, always different & challenging. He encourages you in a way that makes YOU want to push yourself. He reminds you to remind yourself why you're there. I feel so blessed & grateful to have found him! Dave, you rock!! read more

I love working out with Dave , I've done both his boot camps, and one on one coaching. It's worth everything minute. Having Dave as a coach is the best , he is focused on what you need to get you to your end goals. I've never looked or felt as great as I do working out with him. Not only is he focused on teaching you the correct workouts, he also taught me a lot about eating the proper meals and portions. Working out with him is such a great and fun experience! I highly recommend Dave when it comes to personal training! read more

I started working out with Dave in November of 2016. I was at the heaviest I had ever been and was really beginning to feel it. I had constant lower back pain, couldn't crouch down to pick up my little girls with out wincing. Bending over to tie my shoes had even become troublesome. I knew it was time for a change. I met Dave at his gym for our first work out and was immediately impressed. There was nobody else there! It was just him and I. No crowds, no bros flexing in the mirrors, no screamers, no creepers trying to pick up chicks, and no texters and talkers taking up the equipment! It was awesome! I could do girl push ups and not feel self-conscious. Dave's workouts are always different. He always keeps me on my toes and it is always a kick in the rear. He keeps me motivated and accountable. His online training is great, he sends me my workouts via a personal training app, where I can log my work out and my nutrition. Dave is very flexible, he regularly meets me at 5am to workout and he is always on time. Since meeting with Dave I have lost 45 lbs and feel great. I no longer have lower back pain and have more energy to get me through the day! I highly recommend Dave Nelson, If you follow his program you will be successful. Remember if it doesn't challenge you it will not change you! read more

I'm nearing retirement and realized that, if I keep on the same unhealthy lifestyle, I'll be too out of shape to enjoy any of it. Enter Dave Nelson. With his expert training and nutritional guidance I'm losing fat and building muscle, endurance and confidence! Dave helps me find strength I didn't know I have. read more

Started training with Dave 2 weeks ago. Since then I am down 9 pounds. I have trained with a lot of trainers but no one like Dave. Being a woman it's important to me to find someone that your comfortable with, someone that is firm and is going to push you to the next level. Dave has done that. His boot camp classes are also amazing. I love the fact that he limits the amount of people he accepts in each class so it's not over crowded and he makes sure your doing each exercise correctly so it is effective. I was very scared to start the boot camp class because I had been out of the gym for a while and thought it would be too advanced for me, but I was WRONG... Dave's boot camp class is for everyone and he pushes you past your individual limit. Couldn't be happier with my results since training with Dave and I look forward to reaching my personal goals. read more

I've been through many nutrition plans/diets that seemed to look successful but none that stuck with me. When I first heard of Dave Nelson, I only heard great things. I contacted Dave to see about getting on one of his nutrition plans. That was months and months ago and I'm still on it. It's the only thing that has worked for me and I love this new lifestyle. Dave broadcasts great nutrition, fitness, supplement Info daily and I cherish all the valuable tips he gives us. I owe everything to Dave and soo thankful I found him :) read more
