Founder of Train With Dave in Orange County, CA. Coached clients 1:1 from 2009 to 2020 — now trains the TWD coaching team across studios in Orange, Irvine, and Laguna Hills and runs the company.
I started Train With Dave because I got tired of watching people work hard at the wrong things. Most personal training in Orange County is just a paid workout — show up, sweat, leave. There's no plan, no nutrition, no follow-through. So results don't last.
We do the opposite. Every client gets a fully customized program — workout plan, nutrition plan, training app, and direct coach access between sessions. We've worked with thousands of clients in OC, and we've been voted Best Personal Training across Orange County five years running — Best of Irvine 2022–2024 (plus the Irvine Business Hall of Fame), and Business Rate Best Personal Training in Orange (2024–2026), Irvine (2024–2025), and Laguna Hills (2024–2026).
I write the Train With Dave blog because most fitness content online is either too generic to be useful or too aggressive to be safe. My posts are built from what I see working — and what I see failing — with real Orange County clients every week. Topics include: fat loss without crash diets, strength training for everyday life, training around injuries, nutrition that fits real schedules, and the psychology of sticking with it.
Selected podcast and media appearances where I talk about coaching, scaling a service business, and what actually works for sustainable fat loss.
