Our most experienced coaches are based at the Orange studio — trained personally by Dave on the in-house methodology.
The Orange studio at 303 E Katella is our flagship — the home base of the TWD methodology. Dave stepped out of 1:1 client work in 2020 to train the coaching team and run the company. The coaches you'll work with at Orange are the ones he has personally trained on the system that has helped thousands of OC clients.
Mornings start at 5 AM. The 5–8 AM block is mostly Chapman faculty, healthcare workers from St Joseph's, and Anaheim Hills executives commuting south. There's a 30-minute lull around 8:30 when the parking lot turns over, then by 9 we're back to capacity. The lunch crowd splits between people working from home in Old Towne, retirees from Orange Park Acres who've been with us 3+ years, and a few professionals nearby who can ghost their office for 60 minutes.
5 PM through 8 PM is the busiest stretch. The mix shifts younger and more diverse — recent Chapman grads, couples training together, a few pro athletes in offseason. The energy goes up but the format doesn't change. Every client still has their own coach, their own program, their own pace.
The room itself is unmistakable — black walls, red accent lighting, a full cable system, plate-loaded machines, dumbbells to 100 lbs, a Stairmaster that gets a workout, and an InBody scanner clients can use anytime. Built for fat loss AND getting strong. The vibe is closer to a private gym than a commercial chain. You won't see a crowd waiting for a rack.
Three years running, Business Rate has voted us Best Personal Training in Orange — 2024, 2025, and 2026. In 2026 we tied #3 across all of California. That doesn't mean we're for everyone. It means we deliver on what we promise to a specific client: someone who wants results that actually stick past month four, who's tired of the cycle of crash diets and gym memberships, and who'd rather pay a real coach than spend Sundays meal-prepping the wrong macros.
What people do around training matters as much as the training. Pre-workout coffee at Contra in Old Towne. Post-session lunch at Bruxie down on Glassell. A standing date night at Watson's after a transformation milestone. The studio is woven into the rhythm of the neighborhood — not just a place you go and leave.
The Orange clients who stay longest got hooked on a specific feeling: walking into a session and knowing the workout was built for them this week, given what happened last week. They didn't have to think. They just had to show up.
Book a free 45-minute consultation. You'll meet your coach, walk the studio, and leave with a plan whether you sign on or not.

"Did a great job with getting me to all of my physical goals, improved my endurance, strength and built muscles with strict techniques and food tracking, cool app too"
"I’ve been going to Train with Dave and working out with Braedon for almost two years. It’s been life-changing for me. I’d been on the fence about getting a personal trainer for some time. Ultimately I decided I needed the accountability, and maybe also someone to push me. It’s been the best investment into myself and my longterm health. Not only did I lose 25 pounds in the first 5 months, but I also achieved a fitness goal that I’d had for almost a decade, which was an unassisted pull up. I cannot recommend this place and the people here highly enough!"
"I've been going to Train With Dave for 3 months now, and I cannot say enough good things about my experience. My trainer Braedon is truly one of the best and has made all the difference. He's incredibly attentive during our sessions, correcting my form and pushing my goals each week. I'm a competitive person, and I thrive off challenges and raising the bar. I feel super comfortable with Braedon, knowing he will challenge me in a safe and supportive way. My goals with TWD have been to gain weight and gain muscle, and for the first time in my life I actually see and feel the results of my hard work. One of the many perks of working with a trainer is having someone to hold you accountable and help guide you with both the workouts and the nutrition. I've struggled with my own fitness journey throughout my life mostly because I travel so much for work, and I don't have a consistent schedule. Braedon works with me and my hectic schedule regardless if I'm home or on the road. If you're considering getting a personal trainer, I cannot recommend Train With Dave enough. Braedon is incredible, but truly all of the trainers there are amazing. You'll be so grateful if you decide to come to TWD."
"I’ve been training with Braedon for a year now. It’s been an awesome experience. After shoulder surgery, he really helped me get back into shape. I highly recommend Train with Dave."
"I started back in October of 2025, and I will honestly say this is the best personal training experience ever. I’m held accountable while also motivated constantly so I can reach my goals. Totally recommend this for anyone setting themselves up for success."
"I've been training with Braedon for about three months now, and the results have been incredible. I've lost 8 pounds and 5% body fat, but more importantly, I feel stronger, more energized, and just overall healthier--both physically and mentally. My clothes are fitting looser, and I genuinely look forward to our sessions. Braedon is super knowledgeable and attentive--he always makes sure I'm doing movements correctly and takes the time to correct my form when needed, which has helped me avoid injury and get the most out of every workout. I also really love the app. It makes tracking my nutrition easy, and I can adjust things throughout the day as needed. The variety of workouts keeps things interesting, and being able to log my weights and reps helps me stay motivated and see my progress in real time. Highly recommend training with Braedon if you're looking to get in shape, stay accountable, and feel great!"
