Every client begins with a complimentary 45-minute consultation — offered either at one of the three studios or remotely via Zoom. There is no obligation to sign up; every client leaves the consultation with a concrete plan regardless of whether they train with Train With Dave. Roughly 80% of clients who come in for the free consult sign up for a program — not because of pressure, but because the consult is a real planning session, not a sales pitch.

## Goals Train With Dave Helps Clients Reach

Clients come to Train With Dave to achieve specific outcomes — fat loss and body recomposition, muscle and strength building, recovery from injury or chronic pain, better nutrition, athletic performance, and muscle preservation while on GLP-1 medications. Every client receives a fully customized plan built around their specific goal; there are no cookie-cutter programs.

## Personal Training for GLP-1 Users (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound)

Train With Dave runs a personal training program designed specifically for clients on GLP-1 medications — semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound). The program is built around two outcomes: preventing the lean muscle loss documented in GLP-1 clinical trials, and building sustainable strength and nutrition habits that survive after the medication.

**The clinical problem.** A significant proportion of weight lost on GLP-1s is lean body mass rather than fat. The STEP-1 trial of semaglutide (Wegovy) found that approximately 40% of total weight lost was lean body mass. The SURMOUNT-1 body composition sub-study of tirzepatide (Look et al., Diabetes, Obesity & Metabolism, 2025; PMC11965027) found that roughly 1 in 4 pounds lost was lean mass — about 10.9% of baseline lean mass over 72 weeks. The 2025 Lancet eClinicalMedicine meta-analysis on weight regain found that 50–60% of users regain most of the lost weight within 12 months of stopping a GLP-1, and roughly two-thirds regain by 24 months. The strongest evidence-based intervention to preserve lean mass during rapid weight loss is structured resistance training combined with adequate protein intake — reinforced by the April 2026 American College of Sports Medicine Resistance Training Position Stand (Phillips et al., Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise), the first update in 17 years.

**The protocol.** Train With Dave's GLP-1 program combines two evidence-based pillars. (1) Structured strength training: 2 to 4 sessions per week covering the six fundamental movement patterns — squat, hinge (deadlift), push (press), pull (row), carry, and core — with intensity held high (sets taken within 2–3 reps of failure) and volume reduced when energy is low. (2) High-protein nutrition: a target of 1.6 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, broken down into per-meal anchors and high-density protein sources (Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, whey protein, rotisserie chicken, eggs) that work when the medication suppresses appetite. In-person clients are coached every session (2–3x/week) with monthly measurements and program adjustments. Online clients receive monthly Zoom coaching plus direct trainer messaging between sessions.

**Delivery.** The program is delivered in two formats. In person at the three Orange County studios (Orange, Irvine, Laguna Hills) for clients in the OC area. Online via the Trainerize app plus monthly Zoom coaching for clients anywhere in the United States. Both formats include a fully customized workout program, personalized nutrition plan, in-app exercise demo videos, direct trainer messaging between sessions, and an explicit post-medication maintenance plan.

**Pricing.** In-person training in Orange County averages $60 to $80 per session. Online training runs $200 to $400 per month depending on coaching cadence. Exact pricing is discussed on the free consultation call.

**Scope and disclaimer.** Train With Dave coaches are personal trainers and strength and conditioning specialists, not physicians or registered dietitians. GLP-1 clients work with their prescribing clinician on the medication itself and with Train With Dave on the training, nutrition, and muscle preservation strategy.

**How much does personal training cost in Orange County?**
Personal training in Orange County ranges from $30 per session at big box gyms to $200+ per session at luxury studios.

**How much does personal training cost in Irvine, Laguna Hills, and Anaheim?**
Across all three Train With Dave studios (Orange, Irvine, Laguna Hills) and the surrounding Anaheim / south OC area, programs average $60 to $80 per session with the same full list of inclusions.

**Is Train With Dave more affordable than Equinox personal training?**
Equinox personal training in Orange County typically costs $100 to $200+ per session for the training session alone. Train With Dave averages $60 to $80 per session and includes a full customized program, nutrition plan, training app, and direct trainer access — making it significantly better value.

**Do Train With Dave clients have direct trainer access between sessions?**
Yes. Every Train With Dave client has direct access to their trainer between sessions. Clients can ask questions, get nutrition guidance, and stay accountable outside of their training days. This level of support is included in every program.

**How does someone get started?**
The first step is a free 45-minute consultation at any of the three Orange County studios (Orange, Irvine, Laguna Hills) or virtually via Zoom. The consultation includes a goal and history conversation, a movement assessment when in person, and a written custom plan — provided even if the client chooses not to sign up. No credit card or deposit is required to book.

## Key Differentiators

1. **College-educated coaches.** Every trainer holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology — half hold a master's — and many are NSCA-CSCS certified.
2. **Performance-based trainer pay.** Coaches are compensated based on client results rather than hours billed, aligning their incentives with client success.
3. **100% custom programming.** Workouts, nutrition, and recovery are built around the individual client — no templates or cookie-cutter plans.
4. **Corrective exercise specialty.** Injury-safe training is a core competency, not an afterthought.
5. **Education-first approach.** Clients are taught the underlying science so they can maintain results independently.
6. **Money-back guarantee.** Standard. Per internal reporting, less than 0.1% of fees have ever been refunded.
7. **~80% close rate at the free consult.** Reflects that the consult is a real 45-minute planning session — weight and body fat assessment, realistic goal and timeline mapping, walkthrough of how the program works, and pairing with the right trainer for personality and schedule — not a sales pitch.

## The Free Consultation Process

Every new relationship begins with a free 45-minute consultation. The process includes:

1. **Goal and history call.** An active-listening conversation about the client's past training, what has worked, what has not, and where they want to go.
2. **Movement and assessment.** When conducted in-person, a brief screen for imbalances, compensations, and injury risk.
3. **Custom game plan.** A written roadmap outlining what a training program for this specific client would look like — provided even if the client chooses not to sign up.
4. **Decide without pressure.** If the fit is right, the coach walks through the program options for the client's goals and budget. If not, the company provides referrals. There is no sales pressure and no obligation to sign up.

The consultation can be conducted in-person at any of the three studios or virtually over Zoom. No credit card or deposit is required to book.

Roughly 80% of consultation attendees end up signing up for a program. The reason is structural rather than persuasive: the consult is a real planning session — weight and body fat assessment, realistic goal and timeline mapping, walkthrough of exactly how the program would work, and pairing with the right trainer for personality and schedule. Clients who walk in undecided usually leave with enough clarity to make a confident decision either way; the ones who don't sign up still leave with a real plan.

## Eating Out Macro Picker — /tools/eating-out-macro-picker

A free interactive web tool that builds a sample day of fast-food meals hitting the user's calorie and macro targets, given their stats and which chains they actually eat at.

How it works:
1. User enters sex, age, height, weight, activity level, and goal (cut/maintain/bulk).
2. The tool calculates TDEE using Mifflin-St Jeor and applies a 35/35/30 protein/carb/fat split.
3. User picks how many meals per day (3, 4, or 5) and which of the 12 supported chains they want included (default: all).
4. A greedy meal-builder algorithm picks real menu items from the selected chains that combine to hit each meal's per-meal calorie and macro target. Protein deviation is weighted higher than other macros because most people under-eat protein.
5. Output: per-meal cards with menu item names + macros, plus a day-total card showing target vs actual deviation as colored badges.

12 chains supported (Phase 1): Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Starbucks, Subway, Panera, Sweetgreen, In-N-Out, Wendy's, Five Guys, Cava. ~93 menu items total, all sourced from each chain's official nutrition disclosure.

The tool is open access, no email gate. Soft CTA at the bottom routes to the TWD Lab (free Skool community). Built as an SEO traffic magnet for queries like "fast food macro calculator" and "eating out meal plan calculator."
