My experience has been amazing with Train with Dave. I recently moved to a new apartment that has a gym, but have been unable to will myself to go and exercise. Since my boyfriend started going to Train with Dave months before me and the results were apparent, I knew I needed an environment that would push me to get serious about exercising and eating right. From Day 1, they listened to exactly what my goals were in terms of body and health, and have to working with me to push myself to achieve those goals. They were even kind enough to give me the same trainer as my boyfriend so that we could work out together. Thanks to our trainer Stefan, I've been able to increase the amount of weight on my exercises every week and have been able to maintain proper form when executing each exercise. In combination with a much better understanding of nutrition in regards to muscle-building and weight-loss, I have already lost 8.2% of body fat and gained almost 8% in muscle mass in a matter of 4.5 months. read more

Working with Jake for the past month has been an absolute game-changer. Before starting with him, I felt incredibly intimidated and anxious about working out in a gym setting.

Back in my college days, and a bit beyond, I was all about weightlifting. But life happened - injuries, dwindling motivation, and a hectic professional schedule - and my health took a backseat. It wasn't great, to be honest. Then I met David, and wow, does he ever fit the bill of the ideal personal fitness coach. He's a whiz not just with the workout routines (tailored and diverse, by the way) but also with nutrition and understanding the human body. The guy digs into the latest research and scientific studies on fitness - that's my kind of approach! People are already starting to notice the changes: - Flexibility and strength are way up - My arms, chest, and legs have bulked up by over an inch. - Body fat percentage went down from 22% to 16% - Lost a pants size. I'm pumped to see what a year down the line from now! read more

Love this place. Had anxiety and ptsd when it comes to the gym. Went to a normal gym and honestly, it scared me to death. I started looking for a more private gym and I came upon Train with Dave and had a consultation with Dave. I still had the fear of the gym(even private) but once Dave set me with Adrian(who would be the best trainer ever), I started slowly enjoying the gym and not be as afraid of the gym and people judging me. Adrian taught me a lot about eating habits, work outs, etc. He guides me to achieve my goal and I am truly happy that I have him as my trainer. I have been here for 6 months so far. I was at 32% body fat when I first started. Now, I am at 17% body fat and I feel a lot slimmer and happy to lose the fat. Can't wait to bulk soon when I finally get a flat tummy! read more

I've had such a great time getting used to exercising correctly thanks to Dave's training sessions.

Stefan has been amazing at making sure I'm comfortable and pushing me to the edge of what he thinks I can manage while watching out for my form to prevent further damage. He listens to me and, if I mention something uncomfortable, finds a suitable substitute that won't put me in danger. Being even somewhat as safe or effective is unthinkable for me. read more
