Cristina had done everything right — or so she thought. She had paid for Equinox personal training in Irvine, one of the most expensive gym memberships in Orange County. She and her husband had invested in a Peloton that sat collecting dust in the corner of their home gym. She had tried trainers at multiple facilities. Nothing worked.
When she found Train With Dave on Yelp she was skeptical. The reviews seemed too good to be true. She thought Dave must be paying people to write them. He wasn't.
Dave responded to her inquiry within 10 minutes. At the consultation he laid out a plan that fit her budget and her schedule — something she couldn't say about Equinox. They started the next day.
One month later Cristina was blown away. Her clothes were all loose. She had to go buy smaller jeans. She had gained a healthy relationship with food for the first time in her life — no guilt, no crash dieting, just tracking and consistency. She had discovered that she actually enjoyed lifting weights. And she had done it all at a fraction of the cost of Equinox.
"I even spent the big bucks and joined Equinox in Irvine and did personal training there. My husband and I have a Peloton slowly collecting dust. Nothing ever worked. One month with Train With Dave and I am BLOWN AWAY. My clothes are all super loose and I've had to go buy smaller jeans. Dave has given me the most amazing gift of all — a healthy relationship with food. I didn't think I would ENJOY working out and lifting weights. Dave is worth EVERY last penny."— Cristina B., Mission Viejo, CA · Yelp Review
