About Me

I have been around fitness my whole life. Coming from a military family it was the norm to wake up at 5am to run hills and pull tires before heading to school. I love working with people and having them discover the greatness that lives within them. My purpose in life is to help you be the best version of yourself and ensure you live on that purpose daily. #PURPOSEDRIVEN

“Live on purpose, fueled by desire, and fulfilled with human connection is the formula to LIFE!!! #BETHECHANGE ”

Testimonials

Audrey P.

David is awesome! My husband and I love doing his workouts together! He keeps us motivated AND helps us stay accountable. His daily texts really keep me in check and reminds me that it’s the small things we do everyday that make a difference. Thanks David! Excited to learn more from you.

Ashley R.

If you’re looking for someone to challenge you, it’s Coach Freeman! He will actively reach out to check in on how you’re doing, ask if you have any questions or are running into any issues-physically/mentally-and is always providing resources through articles and videos for having a healthy mind, body and spirit to help educate you as well. You’ll get out of it what you put in and David is there to help push and motivate you to reach your goals and strive for consistency!

Zo Z.

I could say many positive things about Coach Freezys program. This man has been the most motivating, eye opening, and life changing individual during my time with him. And the best part about it is that it comes with no path for excuses! I travel a lot for my job and could even turn these workouts into a beach workout for my convenience. It’s a very personal and unique way of training for all levels of fitness motivated individuals.

Katrese H.

David is an awesome and consistent trainer. I enjoyed the virtual encouragement and loved the energy he created in the group. Keep being awesome!

Ajmal H.

I first met David in the early morning shifts when he used to teach the 5am alpha class. I always had long questions for him and even though he was super busy and did not have to even answer them, he was always helpful and encouraging. David always challenged me , which is what motivated me to be more consistent and when I was introduced to the program I did not hesitate to join because I knew with the right guidance I would be able to achieve my goals in every aspect. For every question , every problem no matter what time of the day, David has always been there to be of help. Joining the program has been one of the best decisions I have made as it has provided the structure and guidance to improve myself and be better. Thank you David for everything and I cannot wait for what things you have planned for the future because you can count me in !!

Yvonne K.

David has made a positive impact on my life. He is an exceptional who truly believes in you and your health. The daily messages kept me motivated and articles which he’s forwarded were sent at perfect times. I highly recommend David! Thank you, David for looking out for me and always checking in!

George W.

David is a high energy, motivating trainer. He challenged me to try new exercises and movement combinations. He encouraged me to stay focused on my goals. David took time to check in with me on a weekly basis to see how I was doing. I enjoyed working with David, as his passion for fitness and well-being inspired me to move outside of my comfort zone and achieve my goals.

Briana C.

Well where do I begin, let’s say I’ve been blessed by the BEST. I feel like I have had such a wonderful journey thus far with Coach and it all started with Alpha! The program he designed and I’ve been apart of for sometime now. For those of you that know him he moved here from Minnesota to expand the alpha community , he started coaching the alpha 6:00 am tues/Thursday class and Boy WE were all Hyped up! It was a PARTY every single morning !!!! I became a little closer to coach bc it was the way he coached and brought all that positive energy, it’s just magnetic ! Then covid hit.... no way did I want to stop hitting the gym! At that point he continued to coach me from a distanced and that was a blessing, he watched, he taught and he was present. He made staying home easy breezy. I wanted very much to have him continue to be apart of my life and my fitness journey. So I decided to crank it up another notch and have him start personal training me and a group of other super stud gals. And here We are still being blessed from the best. Being able to be coached by such an incredible individual who is kind, passionate, driven and knows just what he’s doing in life. That’s someone you out to surround yourself with. I’m grateful to see and talk to someone every week/ everyday that holds me accountable and wants the Best for ME. Thank you Coach David for always giving your all. YOU Da Bomb.com

Ali M.

David is absolutely phenomenal trainer! He helped me with fews things that is related to fitness and it’s helped! So I think if you anyone want to lose weight and be in better shape then I recommend you to go see David because he will change your life!

Tanya I.

David is a phenomenal coach. He gives me the nudge that I need, holds me accountable, listens to me when I have concerns, redirects me when I need a modification, encourages me when I've done well. He is like Goldilocks -- not too hot, not too cold, just right LOL... Seriously, he has met me where I am and helped me achieve tremendous personal gains, both physically and emotionally. Many thanks to him for his fantastic coaching!

Allie B.

I don't know if I even have words to do this human justice, but I am going to try. I have been around the fitness industry my whole life - from being a competitive athlete, to becoming a group fitness instructor to now just wanting to stay strong in my adult life. I have never even come close to working with someone who is as present, knowledgeable, empowering, consistent and inspiring as David Freeman. His energy is infectious, he has an unwavering belief in the capabilities of his clients, he knows exactly when to challenge you and when to break things down into simpler movements so you still feel successful. He also believes in creating community, and has been so successful in building a huge network of people who rally around his energy but also support each other. I only worked with David for three short weeks in Minneapolis but I can confidently say it was the best investment I have made in not only my physical health, but my mental health and my belief in my own abilities. Life = completely changed. I will forever be grateful for David Freeman and ALL the lives he is changing!

Tania H.

Part 2 : The evening before every session with him or with the other trainer he sent me details of the workout so I would know what to expect, and to ensure I came in with my game face on. He sent me a morning text as well simply saying "Let's GO". We trained together for about 3 months, in that time David prepared me to continue out on my own with strength and confidence. He would still send morning text messages motivating me to keep up the hard work. 2020 was hard for everyone and I lost focus during the shutdown of the gym. Once the gym reopened I had lost all my mojo and desire to workout completely. Recently he has added me to his Power Group via the Lifetime app and it's like we just picked up where we left off. I love David's energy and enthusiasm, he always knows how to push you to do just one more rep. He is loud and bold during sessions but it's always fun and rewarding in the end. David is one of the biggest reasons I still have a membership at Lifetime. He is a great Man, Leader, Father and Trainer! And still the "Face of Alpha"

Tania H.

I met David, November 2019 at Lifetime in Plano. He had just relocated to Texas from Minnesota, I was at the trainer’s desk to inquire about a personal training session when he approached me and asked if he could help. I told him what my interests were and he immediately found an office for us to speak further. He had already had a pen and pad in his hand. In our brief but informative session he took notes about what my goals were when it came to Fitness and Nutrition and he introduced me to all the key players that would be along for the journey. He scheduled a nutrition consult and put me in touch with the trainer that handled the assessments. I remember seeing his videos on the TV's in the gym so in my mind I assumed that he was the "Face" of Alpha so he had to be way too busy to train me. Boy was I wrong, David mapped out a game plan so that he could train me when he was not traveling for work, and in his absence, he set me up with another Trainer that would follow the fitness plan he designed for me.

Jessica S.

For quite sometime, I found myself lacking motivation and was completely plateau with my fitness routine. I've known Coach David for about month now, and within that short time, he has been able to reignite that fire inside me. When I observed him training others, I knew that was exactly what I needed: passion, energy, the extra push, and dedication. He makes training 5:00 in the morning so exciting and rewarding. Words can't express how eager I am to really dive into my fitness journey with him and see all the goals and PR's I will reach. Plus, he's the best accountability partner when it comes to closing the rings on the Apple Watch!

Cory H.

David has been an awesome coach over the past 6 months that we have worked together. His guidance and expertise in programming have allowed me to hit multiple PRs in both strength and conditioning. The focus that we have together is not only in the physical but in the mental game as well. I couldn't be more excited to take on new challenges with David as coach.

Maria G.

Coach David’s energy and passion for health/fitness is so contagious and I am extremely grateful to be apart of this! He has helped me breakthrough mentally with fitness goals I never thought I could achieve. #FAB4 #BEGREAT

Stephanie J.

I am not a workout novice- I have been in the gym for 20+ years and felt I was in excellent shape Prior to working with David. I was so inspired whenever I saw David training others in the gym- he was intense, passionate and his energy was out of this world. I wanted to shake up my routine so I signed up with him. My path With David since then has been incredible. My fitness level has increased significantly in both strength and cardiovascular. I have lost 3.5% body fat, and have gained solid support and a big push I needed to get out of my comfort zone. David holds you accountable and gives you tools to not only strengthen your body but also your mind and connections with others. He is intense and expects action and accountability, but he will make you laugh and have a little fun along the way. Just an incredible coach and I’m not sure where I’d be without him!!!

Kayla M.

Training with David has been a great eye opening experience. Joining the Alpha program with at least 2 years of CrossFit under my belt, I was blown away with the involvement David has during each class. David went around to each athlete and provided cues and feedback, whether the athlete was a beginner to weight training or a seasoned athlete. David would break down each movement and explain what the purpose of the movement is and what to focus on. The excitement and enthusiasm David brought to each class was addicting and made you excited for the next day.

Joey E.

David Freeman is the bomb! I joined Alpha, at the end of July 2018, thinking I was in pretty good shape... I jogged daily, went to several Zumba classes on a weekly basis. You couldn’t tell me anything! When David spoke to me, upon joining, he shared “make magic happen,” I was like “no problem!” I was pleasantly humbled on the first day of class. I didn’t know a lot about weightlifting, so the hands-on guidance, is what I needed, He makes sure you put safety first, and “leave your ego at the door!” The metcon, metabolic conditioning, during the ending part of class, was no joke! I’m becoming stronger and stronger, everyday, with new challenges on the horizon. I’m seeing and feeling my body transform! His training and his team are top notch. He keeps the days and the challenges fun and exciting! I don’t miss a day!

Jerelyn T.

Fitness has always been apart of my life, but joining Alpha took it to another level. I love the community and holding each other accountable. Coach David pushes me beyond my abilities and I might give that evil look but I look forward to the next workout. I love this environment so much I drive from Eden Prairie to New Hope at 4am and seeing my 5am peeps makes it all worth while. All of the coaches are amazing and have their unique style. Glad I made the decision to be part of the Alpha family.

Char G.

I love group fitness. Alpha is like the BMW of group fitness. Having David as a coach feels like I added a new member to my family. David does not only physically motivate me but he pushes me to think critically about my entire purpose in life in regards to my health mentally and physically. The knowledge he shares is enlightening is so many ways. So much so that I often share the lessons through Alpha training and the readings and podcasts David provided with my son. Coach David’s transparency and passion with his clients is like no other.

Leslie E.

I started training with David when he first launched the Alpha studio in New Hope. I figured I’d do the week for free and then do the workouts on my own. That one week turned to 2 years of consistent training in Alpha and the driving force was David and the community and culture he created. I grew up playing sports and missed the competitiveness of team sports. I loved how everyday David had a new challenge for me and stoked that competitive fire. The biggest takeaway from him was enjoying the “everyday” of my fitness journey. That meant a lot especially since fatherhood, new careers and family bring on new life challenges, some days would be tougher than others and David would know exactly when I need to tone it down or turn it up. I thoroughly enjoyed training with David and feel blessed to have learned from him and have him push me to achievements I never thought of.

Luke B.

My entire life I have thought of myself as being an athlete and in good shape. I thought I knew how to work out and how to push myself to get better. That all changed one day when I decide to try something different. I signed up for the Alpha program thinking I would try it for a month and then go back to my old workout regime. I walked into my first 5:00am class and David was the coach. All I can say is WOW. David pushed me to levels I never thought I could reach. He taught me an entirely different lifestyle. His positivity, motivation, and knowledge can make anyone believe they can make a change in their life. Within the first 60 days of meeting and training under David, I was not only able to transform my body, but also my mindset. I learned skills that not only physically helped me but also mentally gave me the confidence to live the true #purposedriven lifestyle. David cares about everyone that comes near him. His passion and drive cannot be matched by anyone. He will take the extra time to understand your goals. He will follow up to make sure you are staying on track with goals, and he will push fly past your original goals and create even bigger ones. Whether its the text at 5:05 am seeing where you are at, the emails about nutrition, recovery, or motivation, the inspirational videos, or the nightly phone call to make sure your alarm is set to make the next day's workout, David is there to motivate and push you. David is able to transform people in all aspects of their lives. Even as I moved away and am no longer able to train directly with David, he still reaches out to make sure I am on tract and living the #purposedriven lifestyle. I am truly grateful that our paths crossed and I am a better person because of that.

Becca R.

When you first meet David it can be a little intimidating to be around someone with such a commanding presence and dynamic personality, but I learned very quickly that despite that big presence he is one of the most down to earth, genuinely caring people you could ever hope to call your coach. David is a master of all things fitness, knowledgeable, experienced, an expert in his field. But what puts him heads above the competition is his unique ability to see people not as they are but as they could be. He sees the athlete in everyone and is expertly skilled at unleashing that potential. He does this by connecting with each individual on a personal level, REALLY listening and then remembering and understanding what they need to achieve their goals. I’ve never met a coach who is so in tune with each of his athletes, even in a class of 24 people he always knows who has an injury that day, who didn't get enough sleep, who can push harder, and who needs to pull back and focus on mechanics. His energy and passion for what he does is so infectious and motivating. Being around someone who strives for excellence in every aspect of his life makes you want to be better and push harder in every way too. Honestly my life has been changed since working with him. He has taught me to be strong in so many ways, not just in the gym. When you’re working with David, come as you are, but don’t expect to stay that way! He transforms you from the inside out and once he’s in your corner, you know he’ll be there for life.

Andrea J.

Wow! I had the amazing opportunity to train with David for 60 days prior to leaving the state. David is genuinely passionate about improving quality of life through physical fitness, encompassing mind, body, and spirit. David has all the essential attributes of a great trainer! He exudes passion and motivation about fitness, mental, and nutritional health. He is knowledgeable and is able to effectively explain theory and put theory to practice. His enthusiasm is contagious and engaging and is reflective in those around him. David is a listener and a problem solver. He attends to the individual needs of his clients no matter what size group. He encourages and acknowledges self motivation, as well as, creating a sense of community among members. David is committed to facilitating the achievement of your goals and incorporates various motivational messages to support you outside of the gym. David Freeman is an educator, he ‘walks the talk’, he is a trailblazer! Your success is his success! I’m a 60year old retired elementary teacher. One of my repeated questions during the school year was, “Who is/are your role model(s)?, Who do you want to be like?Who do you admire?”. David Freeman you are my role model! Thank you for helping me meet my goals!

Sarah K.

In October 2016 I joined Alpha Training. One year later I have reached many fitness goals with David's consistent, caring support. As an added bonus I have dropped body fat and become a more efficient athlete. He saw my inner drive to compete with myself to become stronger both physically and mentally. He never allows me to say "I can't". His coaching reflects his passion for physical fitness and mental clarity. He motivates through positive energy and boundless selflessness. I am very thankful to have found Alpha Training and even more grateful for the opportunity to train under Coach David Freeman.

Jennifer P.

Coach David is more than just a coach, he is a true mentor! He takes the skills you posses and enhances them and expands them to new limits! He is passionate about fitness and encourages and inspires you to be the best version of yourself! He listens with patience and pushes you with persistence and intensity. The community he has built within the Alpha program is truly amazing! David is exactly what you need in a coach/trainer and will be the drive you are looking for to reach new heights in your personal fitness!

Nicole M.

I wound up at LifePower through yoga and would watch the Alpha class. David would try to recruit me, and he finally won. I began doing Alpha in September 2014. I turned 40 in 2015, and had a goal to be fittest at 40 and definitely accomplished that. David was one of the most committed coaches I have ever had. I was a collegiate athlete and it was the closest thing to me being back on a team that I've had since college. He would even send those motivational texts in the mornings, to start our day. It became a lifestyle and I made a lot of good friends! I am so grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of David's team! Much love!

Amanda S.

David changed my life. Not only did he give me the skills and knowledge necessary to properly change my physical being, he has a talent for incorporating a mental transformation as well. I know - truly know - I can do anything I set my mind too. Set the mind and the body/action/will follows. David is the epitome of all of the above wrapped in a fun, silly, dancing human being. To work with him is a blessing beyond words.

M J.

I love doing Alpha! I love coming in and going balls to the wall, feeling empowered and knowing that I've got a coach behind me that won't let me fail! David is that coach!! He's had my back from the moment I walked into that gym and he still has it, almost a year later, while I'm taking a small break during the last few months of my pregnancy! Even when you feel like giving up on yourself or feeling like you can't do more, he's there with the encouragement/support you need to kick butt! I didn't think I could Alpha (let alone workout) once I found out I was pregnant. I just didn't think I could kick butt, but he modified workouts for me so I could still get what I wanted out of Alpha and feel amazing! He also encouraged me beyond the gym with inspirational affirmations, daily/weekly check-ins, etc! He truly cares and wants to help you find that better you:) I have never, and will never, come across a coach like David. I'm a "lifer" because of it. Thank you so much!!!!

Alana A.

David knows how to make everyone feel like the most important person in the room. He is so encouraging and inspires people to want to come back the next day with his motivation and his loving attitude. I wouldn't be the athlete I am today without him teaching me how to be persistent and to push past limits you thought you never could. David is not only a great coach but a great friend to all.

Matt M.

I have had the pleasure of training under David. He is an extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and caring. David has an incredible attitude and outlook about him that makes every workout fun while pushing to get the most out of you. I would highly recommend David to anyone that is serious about looking to improve their fitness.

Isaiah C.

As a young boy, I always struggled with my weight. My mother and I joined lifestyle which became lifetime fitness later. We joined because they saw that I was dealing with insecurities within myself. That's how I met David. David became my personal trainer and was training me two a week. I was also doing football at the time. At first it wasn't easy because there were times where I wanted to give up but David wouldn't let me. Not only was he my trainer but he became a brother. We talked about life stuff besides just fitness. And in the long run it helped me. After David and his family moved out of North Carolina, we always stayed in contact, even now. I apply everything that he has taught me and I'm so excited to say that 2 years ago I was 250 lbs and now I'm down to 192 lbs. and I thank David for pushing me and challenging me even not being here in North Carolina!!

Kristen M.

Over the years I've had the best of the best in training, & perhaps the worse of the worse. My own self-motivation and energy have always been the driving forces that sustain me through a WOD, regardless of my coach...but David had my number from the Day 1. He could see that I had more in me, and he would not be satisfied until he unlocked my hidden potential. He has incredible insight, and he uses that gift skillfully and delicately in his approach. He corrects without judgement, challenges without discouraging and never stops pushing the envelop of self-improvement. He is subtle but deliberate, a rare combination. I can't count the number of times he would casually walk up to me and increase my weight during a set without a single word and without missing a beat in the class. He has the gift of keeping a pulse on an entire group while staying keenly aware of the individual. He is passionate, caring, intuitive, and driven….Over the years I have watched David overcome conceivably life-changing obstacles, face personal fears & insecurities head-on only to grow stronger and better, continually raise the bar on his own goals and smash them through the roof, and daily strive to be the person that he believes he was created to be. Through it all, my respect deepens and I am left with a treasured friendship. Make no mistake about it: David Freeman is coaching because he was called to do so and no other reason. He is following the path laid before him dutifully and igniting the fitness world with his God-given passion. #blessing

Douglas L.

David and the Alpha coaches in Scottsdale absolutely changed my relationship with my physical body. I had sustained a series of injuries after years of throwing heavy weights around without proper coaching, and the results were 40 pounds of excess body fat, an addiction to caffeine and sugar, and daily battles with depression. Through the caring guidance of the Alpha coaches, I began a workout regimen that slowly developed into a lifestyle change, and eventually grew into a complete transformation. I became hungry for knowledge about proper nutrition and training, replacing self-destructive habits with an insatiable need for personal progress and achievement. Now all of that coaching has become second nature, I train daily with a large group of my employees at Alpha Scottsdale, and I can proudly say that I identify as an Alpha and will never look back. Alphas Unite!

Alma M.

I joined life time fitness Scottsdale in 2015. I was new to the area and had tried all 7 Crossfit gyms in Phoenix/Scottsdale as well as a few conventional gyms before I found Alpha. The minute I walked in the door I finally felt like I was part of a community. I honestly can't say enough about David! He unleashes the inner athlete in absolutely every person he engages with. Dave is insanely knowledgeable about every aspect of health and fitness and super approachable. If you are training with Dave, you have to bring your A game. He is so passionate and doesn't accept anything less then your very best. This is exactly what I needed and looked for in a coach. I have travelled around the world, been to many many gyms, and I've not met a more dedicated trainer. Dave is so inspiring not only as a coach, but also in all parts of his life...it's infectious. That aside my all time favourite thing about Dave is his morning motivational group text. He sends awesome quotes that set me up for the day.

Hang N.

I met David on my first day at Alpha class in New Hope. I took advantage of the free week they were offering. My first class was this crazy Metcon and I didn't know a single person there. It was a bit intimidating because everyone was going balls to the wall. Somehow David knew and he just continued to encourage me to find my own pace. Throughout the week he continued to communicate with me as well as welcome me with a smile at every class. He made me feel like I really belonged. Now after 3 months I still get that feeling and he continues to push me to do things I never thought I could. I mean seriously, I have never ever tried to do a hang clean or even heard of metcons or AMRAPs. David is the trainer that will continue to root for you and encourage you even when you think you've failed. He continues to send inspiration to me and I absolutely love coming to his Alpha classes. Because of his encouragement and guidance I feel stronger and have loved what my body can do. David is going to be one of the best choices you make not because he loves what he does but you will have him as a lifetime friend.

Nancy N.

So it's been 9 years since I decided to walk through the gym doors and start on what I thought would have been impossible journey!! First time meeting David I held my head down and embarrassed about how I let myself go. It wasn't easy to get started and remember hitting a light pole in the parking lot being so scared. David never gave up on me he pushed and he pushed. Little by little I watched myself start to transform and he made me believe who I was again. David inspired me to become a fitness instructor and was my mentor along the way. I went from being a client to standing side by side on the stage teaching classes with him. I have never forgotten where I started and who pushed and helped along the way. Thank you David .... Mind Right Body Right!!

Aisha H.

David is the COMPLETE trainer! Not only does he provide a workout program but guides you on your diet and pushes you to new heights along the way. Most trainers do not provide the complete package - but he does to ensure you succeed! With David you will be able to do things you never thought you could do and makes it fun along the way. If you are ready to work hard and have fun - and you want results - David is the one to do it with!!!

Allison J.

David is a true inspiration! His personal training will postively impact the way you feel about your health, fitness, mindset and even your personal life goals. When I first met David, I wasn't too keen on working out (let's be honest!) but I knew I wanted to feel better and get into better shape. He helped me identify my personal fitness goals and created a plan that gave me the results I was looking for. David truly provides amazing support, technical knowledge but most of all, he cares about his clients success...a true leader and it shows every step of the way.

Jessica R.

David is one of the best people that I have been blessed with to come into my life. I would see David coaching Alpha daily on my way into my yoga class. As a 40 year old, mom and yogini, Alpha was not on my radar as something that I thought I would try or ever enjoy, but David was persistent. He finally got me to try a class and I was hooked. Not that I was good at it by any means, but hooked because of his encouragement, knowledgeable coaching, mindful manner, unbelievable energy, dedication and belief in me. All of his daily messages, hugs, coaching, friendship and results kept me coming back. One of my cherished accomplishments is when he awarded me as an Alpha Ambassador. He also sees his athletes as a whole. He mentored and supported me through my Yoga Teacher Training, seeing its value to me as an athlete and a person. Alpha has changed not only my life, but the lives of my family and friends. I am proud to have him as my coach & friend. I am so excited to see the ripple of David, his work & positive messages continue to spread.

Rachel O.

I had been a member of Lifetime Fitness for many years and was there mainly for the yoga classes and an occasional cardio session. Everytime I'd walk through the gym on my way to my class I would hear an incredibly passionate voice spreading inspiration and immensely positive vibes which radiated throughout the entire gym. This voice belonged to David. I would have conversations with David on my way to and from the yoga room which always left me feeling a little more inspired. One day I decided I wanted to give myself the gift of a "personal trainer" so that I could become stronger and better at my sport, Team Roping. I was slightly intimidated honestly: I wasn't a professional athlete and didn't think I was capable of keeping up with someone like David. I decided to just go for it and I set myself up on a training schedule. I had a lot of preconceived limitations I set for myself long before I ever met David. "I can't do this, I can't do that". I had a childhood illness which limited my small motor function and my mind was programmed to thinking I would never regain function of these muscle groups again. That was until I began day one of my training with David. He absolutely would not hear of these limitations and pushed me right through these mental road blocks I created for myself. I began getting stronger and stronger, but not just physically. I was stronger mentally and have not looked back since. I went on to win my first buckle Team Roping and have even taken my business to the next level because of this new found belief in myself. I no longer had these limitations, the chains were off. This experience with David made me realize, the best teachers are the ones who teach us to believe in ourselves. David has left an indelible mark on my life and I am grateful for the opportunity I had to be one of his students. I will always consider him one of my greatest mentors.

Amy S.

David's energy and passion makes you want to be around him. He has a way to inspire and push you to do your best in a positive and supportive manner. He truly cares about you in an out of the gym. He will go the extra mile to help you reach your goals and can modify any exercise to meet your individual needs. If you are fortunate enough to work with David, your life will be enriched immensely. Thank you David for all that you do!

Jon-Wayne G.

In 2010, I had the chance to train with David in Apex, NC. At that point in my life I didn't know what the long term effects my health would have on me unless I changed my lifestyle. David was very encouraging and determined to help me reach my fitness goals. I think the most important thing David was able to do was to educate me, not only about health and fitness, but life issues. When you are able to establish a relationship with someone who genuinely cares about you, it's priceless. When you meet David, it's easy to see how his character has helped him reach the success he has had and will have!

Rhonda W.

David is the rare trainer who can speak to both the heart and mind. He understands that people need to find passion and purpose in their health and wellness strategies and that there is so much more to a training partnership than a simple exercise plan. David's energy is infectious, and I still hear his voice urging me to be my best after all these years. I highly recommend David!

Kelley E.

Drive. Loyalty. Focus. I began training with David in 2008, and over the next 5 years I worked with David to hit goals both personally and professionally. David trained me both during and after my second child, and assisted in my fitness comeback that led to a peak in my fitness journey. David not only trains his clients but he also encourages them to step out of the comfort zone and find the greatness, find where the magic happens. (we pushed cars before it was cool!) He wants everyone to succeed. Also, what I respect about David is that he puts in the work; he does the crazy workouts; he will go side by side with his clients to push him/ her; and he lives by the training and diligence that is needed on a daily basis to be successful. David introduced me to group fitness, and encouraged me to follow my passion and become an instructor, and for that I am forever grateful. Thanks, DFree!

Teri A.

David is great and he is a master at training motivated individuals at all levels. His ability to coach and encourage to your specific needs is what sets David apart.

Drive. Loyalty. Focus. I met David in 2008, and for the next 5 years, I not only reached personal milestones but also found my passion in fitness. David helped me achieve a fitness comeback after my second child as well as become a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. He is devoted to bringing out the best in each of his clients. He is a role model; he does the workouts; he puts in the work, and he exemplifies the daily preparation needed to be the best. I would encourage anyone wanting to crush goals to train with David; he will not disappoint. I will always be grateful to him for challenging me to bring out my inner athlete and to find my passion. Thanks DFree!

A Key. David is a Key that unlocks the door to Life, for every person, he comes in contact with. He is an Energy Extraordinaire, no matter what may be going on in his life, be it good or bad. No one will ever know because his level of energy is like electricity it’s always moving, and bringing life to someone and or something. I met David, over 8 yrs ago, and he has helped me become some many different things in my life. Who would’ve ever thought that I would co-host a radio show with him, become a group fitness instructor, and most of all unlock the inner Athlete. Again David was a Key. One of my most memorable moments, with David, has to be the moment he said to me that I was an Athlete(insert tear). There he goes again, being a Key. He doesn’t know this, but those words pulled the scales off of my eyes and allowed me to see the hidden things in my life. David is by far one of the greatest people I’ve ever met and anyone that has the opportunity to be impacted by his greatness should consider themselves blessed. As David has always taught, Drive toward your goals, be Loyal to yourself and stay Focused on where you are going.

I had the privilege of training under David for over a year as an Alpha. David exudes passion, knowledge and professionalism in his fitness program. He is persistent and supportive in helping you reach your goals. He is a powerful motivator and sees your strengths while challenging you in areas to bring out your best. He has infectious energy, and is always a pleasure to be around in even the most difficult class. I especially liked TRX-awesome and effective. It was a blessing to find Alpha and train under the leadership of David. He truly has a gift and has found his calling, I was fortunate to experience it!

Yvonne M.

I trained with David back in his Lifetime Fitness, Apex, NC days. David's professional growth has always and continues to inspire me, not only does he train you physically but he places you on the right plane mentally to achieve your goals. He lives and breathes Fitness! I knew he would come up with the right blend of challenge and my martial art/boxing training favorites! He didn't disappoint! MIND RIGHT->BODY RIGHT!>BOOM!

Donna H.

There exist few trainers in this world who have the experience, knowledge base, but more importantly the PURE innate ability to give and find strength in others, they never knew they had. As a former competitive runner, I found I could harness more energy and strength in running with other runners; that was until I met David. David’s infectious laugh, his authentic interest in my fitness goals, and his ability to have made me want to work past what I thought was possible are some of the reasons I enjoyed having him as my trainer. If he ever moved back to Atlanta, I would be first in line to fill my calendar with workout sessions with him.

Barb B.

My husband and I started a trial membership at Alpha in Scottsdale in early 2015 after many years of traditional workout programs. After working out with David and his well trained colleagues for three days, we knew we had found a new fitness home. David has created a highly motivating environment and has helped us take our fitness to new levels.

Kelly K.

107Words don't do David justice... he is an amazing coach, motivator and friend! David will push you just the right amount, and help you reach all your goals. He takes the time to listen, cares and then TEACHES you the information, rather than telling you the information. The impact he will have on your life is forever. He is truly the best!

Sarina B.

I absolutely love working out with David! The summer of 2016 I started taking Alpha classes. Being an ex athlete I found the classes challenging but the movements were similar to when I was playing basketball. After every Alpha class I always feel like I have pushed my self as hard as I can to get the best work out for me ( David has also helped with pushing me to my full potiential). I'm excited to continue my Alpha Journey ....BOOM

Eric S.

I love working out with David. He's a great motivator, trainer/coach. His Alpha training program is fantastic. If you get the opportunity to work with David - do it!!

Nina L.

David is an iron fist in a velvet glove. I first worked with David as my Alpha Coach. His passion and drive are contagious! He believed in me more than I even did myself. I loved working with him so much I decided to do Personal Training with him so I could I have his talent all to myself. His approach is simple yet effective. He pushed me past my comfort zone and often to the very edge of my breaking point; yet he always knows when it's just enough. David is also the only trainer I have worked with that explained the physiological reasons behind the movement and motion we were doing. I gained knowledge, confidence, and strength not only physically but mentally and emotionally as well. I definitely miss training with him in Arizona!!

Lisha M.

I stumbled upon David and the Alpha world one morning when I was aimlessly roaming around the club trying to figure out what I wanted to do for a workout one morning. What I didn't know in that moment was that I stuck gold. The Alpha group isn't a job to David, it is a passion - and that passion is contagious because of him! He has an amazing ability to connect with people and bring the best out of them. David brings that to the gym every day. He is encouraging without being overbearing. He genuinely cares inside and outside of the gym. He gets that outside factors affect what happens in the gym. I appreciated the encouraging texts and calls, inspirational quotes and Facebook communication. He goes above and beyond every single day. I love and he should be proud of the community he has built!

Kim B.

I met David a long time ago when he was teaching a group fitness BodyPump Express Class at the now LifeTime Apex, NC. David is like a magnet. That class quickly became my favorite, and he was the reason why. His energy level was highly motivational and contagious. I made lifelong friends in the class (the Posse) and later signed up for personal training (sometimes torture ) sessions. He definitely got me out of my comfort zone and pushed me to be the best ME. Although he has moved several times, I know I can call/text him with fitness concerns or questions. Thanks, D Free!

Shelly F.

I first met David in April, 2011. Energetic, motivating and inspiring, are the best words to sum up David, not only as a trainer but as a person. My goal was to get in the best shape of my life, for my wedding date, 9-10-11. I had bought a wedding dress in January of 2011, at the disappointing size of 14. I knew I had to do something to change that size. On my own, I attempted to workout at the gym, but quickly realized I needed help, as I wasn't seeing much of a change in my weight or muscle definition. That is when I met David. With his assistance, he helped me to set achievable goals, and above anything else, helped me to push myself, beyond what I thought, were my limits. Two times a week, for thirty minute sessions, David created the most intense workouts for me. I recall several runs/sprints that involved intense hills and running to the point I thought I was going to pass out or die! My workouts included, but were not limited to, push ups, plyometrics, weight lifting and conditioning, TRX, kettle ball exercises and rope exercises. David always stood on the sidelines yelling "you can do it, don't give up, you got this!" He made sure those thirty minutes paid off. Week by week, I watched my body transform into a new physique with muscle definition, that even I didn't know I had hidden underneath my skin! As a result, my wedding dress was altered four different times, down to nearly a size four, two weeks before my wedding! To this day, I still pull out several of the workouts that he had written down for me. I hear his voice at times in my head, saying "come on, push, you got this!" When I did not hit a goal, he helped me to figure out why the goal was not met, and he also helped me to reestablish the goal, or helped me to reset my mind to hit my goal. I have had several trainers, but David is by far the most motivational trainer I have ever encountered. He is full of life and that is displayed through his passion to help others daily. He creates a personal fire for each person that he trains, and it is clear he lives out his purpose in life by training and motivating others. As he always says, he is purpose driven.

Britt S.

David convinced me to sign up at Alpha 1 Scottsdale in January 2014, and I've seen the most gains in the last +/- 3 years than I've ever had in my 46 years. David's enthusiastic competitive drive helps to push all of the athletes he trains to be better, stronger and faster. It's always a blast to train with David as you know he's always going to bring his A-game.

Greta M.

I started Alpha a few weeks after being convinced to step out of my comfort zone (aka the Group Fitness studio). I walked in with 0 experience lifting weights and he made sure I, as well as everyone in class, understood the technique before we picked up a single weight or barbell - even if that meant practicing with a PVC pipe instead of jumping right in. Since day one, David has been an incredible coach and trainer - His attention to detail for every client ensures you are being pushed to your limit, and modifying when needed. He passion for the program shows through his dedication and loyalty to his clients and helping them reach their goals - no matter how big or small. He motivates you, encourages you, and also finds plenty of time to have fun in class.

Maria M.

I walked into Alpha 1 in 2014 . I had the opportunity to meat David and I started the a week trial and was hooked after couple of days . I lost almost 30 pounds in first 4 months Best experience ever. David has the most positive energy you will ever find. He will make your workouts fun and push you towards your goals. He will motivate you to set goals and he will push you to your limits so that you will achieve them. I appreciate all of the motivation he has brought to me and I'm sure he will change more life's .He is the best of best I ever seen in one Coach, I love Alpha classes when he was coaching and so his TRX is absolutely number one.

Marisa G.

Persistent, loyal, determined, genuine. Not only does David see the best in you, but he will bring the best out of you mentally and physically. I admire his spirit and the energy he brought to fitness. I am incredibly thankful for what he brought out in me and instilled within me to carry out in my lifestyle

Amanda S.

Before we even started working together David knew I would accomplish my goals. He knew what I didn't, anything is possible. He has instilled in me not just knowledge of fitness, proper form and technique. He upgraded my life's philosophy - with focus, determination and faith, if you absolutely want to achieve something, it can be accomplished. Game changing. Not only are my glutes stronger but my head, heart and soul are too!

Brittney S.

David is one of the most dedicated and inspirational trainers I know! From day one he made me feel like I could achieve any of my health and fitness goals. After just three months I lost all of the weight that I had been trying to lose after my second baby, and after a year I was in the best shape I had ever been in. I am so grateful for the amazing sense community that David created within the gym it made working out such a joy! Take the leap of fitness with David, and it will be the best decision you have ever made!

Christina R.

David is the absolute best... The trainer you love to hate. When I stated with him we say down and mapped or my goals and how to get there. He worked around my insecurities (the whole bouncing up and down thing) and prior injuries. He was so dedicated, even more so than me at times! I once tweeted about a cheat meal I wasn't supposed to be having and he responded to the tweet! It was like he was following me around knocking bad food out of my hands! He is my absolute favorite trainer ever and completely worth every penny, every sore muscle, and every drop of sweat.!!! My only wish is that he was still in my area so I could continue to train with him!

Ryman G.

I first met david at the scottsdale studio in January of 2014. I was referred to david by a mutual friend whom was going to begin his fitness journey with david. At first I was a bit skeptical about what the programming was really all about but as time went by it became a second family to me. This couldn't have been done without Davids leadership and guidance. With numerous events planned each month within the club his goal was the mend the relationship between coach and students. David has phenomenal knowledge to fitness dedicating basically his entire life to it and has helped me in many ways overcome obstacles in my way. I'm proud to call this man a friend.

Jennifer F.

I can not say enough good things about David, it has been years since i trained with in NC but we have continued to stay connected and he continues to inspire me from afar. Even though i wasnt his typical client who is super athletic and super into fitness he never made me feel like I was wasting his time or that I was a failure because I didnt always meet my goals. I am still by no means a gym rat I am not into boot camps and hard core training but I still get the love and support David gives to all his clients. He definitely is doing exactly what he should be doing touching lives, inspiring many and changing the fitness world for the better. He is truly an amazing person and I am beyond grateful to call him a friend!

Ali Y.

David has a gift of authentically caring and activating athletes in all of us. He is quick to connect people and along with his compassion, he has created an amazingly supportive community. He motivates us to show up each and everyday for ourselves and teammates. By staying connected, he commands engagement! His check-ins remind us to keep our goals and self care top of mind. With David you always know that he is there for you, loud and proud, especially on those days when we are not able to do it for ourselves!

Hossi H.

David is an extraordinary individual who not only loves Alpha, but loves teaching others the concept of everything it offers. He also shows every Alpha team member that self confidence and edification of team is important, and that we are a family of individuals who are uniquely talented and strong. He and his beloved coaches bring to the table an atmosphere of strength, confidence, and individual challenges to be tested and broken, in order to bring the stronger individual to life, and conquer self doubt about who we are and what we can become with the right environment and encouragement! He provides the motivation needed to break beyond our mind's threshold and seize our own victories! Boom

Abbie J.

David is a fantastic motivator. We are in a day and age where competitiveness and comparison are a constant call to men and women. What I've come to appreciate about David is his consistent encouragement to focus on your own strengths and weakness' and to compete against the best version of YOURSELF. Nevermind what everyone else is capable of- are you tapping into your own athletic drive and challenging yourself against the best version of You?! David is incredibly consistent with this perspective. He is genuine and disciplined in his own drive, athleticism and focus on what matters most. He is a joy to be coached by and reminds me that challenging myself against my own abilities is where the lasting change occurs.

Stephanie M.

David, has a passion for fitness that is unmatched. I don't think you could ever meet another trainer that could light you on fire as much as he does. I have walked in having the worst day, and he has time and time again immediately picked up on that energy and made me use it and work through it. He's incredibly intuitive to what his clients need and how they feel! His follow through on commitment is excellent as well! He's found his calling and I'm blessed that I was able to be around it for a short time.

Monica M.

David is an amazing coach and leader! Not only does he educate everyone while he coaches he makes sure everyone in the group feels connected and he brings out the best in people! His energy is motivating and he helps bring out the best version of you while in class. I am lucky to be able to train with David he is truely passionate about Alpha and helping people succeed!

Laura S.

David is an inspiration to many not only as a coach/trainer but also to the fitness community. His passion for seeing others reach their fitness goals shows each time I train with him. He has a gift of motivating others to see the only limits we have in reaching our goals is ourselves. His coaching style and positive motivation gives the tools needed to break plateaus and get results! he's a bright light in this world we're lucky to have him here in MPLS!

Dawn S.

I have been very impressed by David's passion to help clients, his knowledge, and his ability to connect with his clients. David is very caring and attentive to what each client needs, what their limits are, and how far he can push them. He encourages and motivates to do better. David's energy is always brought to a class and of course the dancing. Thankful to be an Alpha!

Joy G.

I have so many wonderful memories from training with David. After I had my son I hit a plateau and found it difficult to get the weight off and get my blood pressure under control. Not only did he help me push past my plateau, he also inspired me to become a fitness instructor. He always sees the best in people...what people can't see within themselves. Without his encouragement I would have never become a group fitness instructor. David also encouraged me to share one of the most difficult experiences of my life with the world through the lifetime fitness infomercial on weight loss. Training with David is training for life. The same mental toughness he helped me find within myself through training is the same mental toughness I use in my career and in my personal life!! Thank you David for sharing your passion for fitness with the world and inspiring your clients to push past their limits to achieve greatness!!

Emily A.

David is an inspirational and motivating trainer! He is very knowledgeable and lives and breathes health and wellness. I love how dedicated he is to the brand, Alpha. He even drives an orange car! Thanks David!!

Sarah S.

In my opinion choosing a personal trainer/coach is a lot like choosing a Doctor. In both cases you are trusting someone with your overall health and wellbeing. I can wholeheartedly say that David exemplifies what the GOLD STANDARD should be in personal trainers. He is intelligent and observant- he knows how to teach and correct form so that a person receives maximum benefit from every movement/exercise while preventing injuries. He is passionate about learning and constantly evolving his own personal knowledge base so that he can intelligently guide any person towards their personal goals- no matter what a person's athletic background may be. Even more important he is passionate about teaching and helping others understand "the why" behind the steps in their fitness program. He is personable- David is truly an authentic, kind and caring human being. When he is with you- he is 100% there in the moment with you- no distractions, just 100% motivation.

Antoine L. B.

I have met David 5 years ago on Facebook when I was at the time living in France. We connected and decided to meet to workout together. He came over to France and we have shared our everlasting passion for Fitness and training and became friends. The following year I came to the US to visit him and we worked out and taught fitness classes together. It was an absolute blast and it was amazing to see David training as many people on a daily basis from early morning until late evening. I later on moved to London UK where we also have gotten to workout before I relocated to the US for good. Fitness changes lives everywhere, everyday positively internationally. David has always shown a great sense of commitment towards his clients and has always been true to himself dedicating his love for Fitness towards the people he works with to help them achieve their total health objectives, physical aspirations and fitness goals. I am extremely proud of working at LifeTime with David and to call him my friend! David you are inspiring and I am proud of you for what you have accomplished since I know you. Keep up the excellent work my friend! Antoine.

Amber K.

I found Alpha when I was tired of TEAM Bootcamp. I remembered an email about it and checked it out. After talking to Coach David I checked out his Instagram and knew he was doing exactly what I wanted to be doing for a workout. As soon as I met him I knew he was passionate about people and making sure you were getting the most out of your workout. He listens and helps modify where necessary to fit to your level and abilities while pushing you at the same time. A workout with David is never boring. He challenges you and makes you laugh. He is the best motivator and always made me work harder and give it all I had. How can you quit when he's doing the workout alongside you? David treats you like family and welcomes everyone each time they enter the gym. He's more than a coach. He's a friend.

Tatiana B.

I have been an athlete all my life and you would think it's easy to stay in shape but life can get away from you. David really helps to keep me motivated. I really like how he spends time to teach the proper technique so I know what I'm doing but he also makes it fun and approachable. Even the 6am class is inspiring. With David you can be a beginner or a pro athelete and both will be challenged to their level

Megan J.

Words just aren't enough to describe how thankful I am for David as a coach. I've struggled in the past with staying motivated and consistent in the gym. I'd get inside my head and talk myself out of a workout or take the easy way out. With David, he won't give you the chance to let negative thoughts in. His encouragement and support far extends beyond the gym. He inspires and motivates because he cares! Whether it's through inspirational posts or daily check-ins, he's always there for you and to help you strive for greatness!

Beth B.

I was a former high school athlete, and I pretty much had always been in the gym, working out whether it was to train for sports or just to stay active. But I had hit a wall. And I was bored. I had very little muscle tone and I was not happy with my body fat. So during my workouts I noticed DAVID training with other members and they looked like they were having so much fun but yet they were working so hard. So I wanted to give it a try. David is an extreme motivator, excellent teacher and he works you hard !! He will not allow any excuses about why it's too hard!! He wants you to do it and he wants you to do it right! David showed me that you can have the best training ever and work your tail off, but have the most fun ever. He drove me to do things I didn't know I could. I enjoyed working out with him until he moved away. Those able to train with him will see the best results you've ever seen as long as you do your part.

Angela K.

I firmly believe everything happens for a reason and for every reason there is a purpose. I joined Lifetime Fitness in Jan of 2016, leaving a well-known national studio where I had been a member for 8 years. After 6 months of going to the gym on a regular basis and attending multiple group fitness classes, I wanted to step it up a bit. I decided to try out Alpha Training for the initial free week. It only took one class for me to realize that this is the reason I joined Life Time Fitness. Being coached by David is an honor. One of the best qualities he offers as a coach is he ‘takes the time’…to listen to me, to educate me, to coach me, to push me, to motivate me, to work out with me side-by-side to keep me going, or to pick me up when I fall. It doesn’t matter if I am working out in the Alpha Studio or following one if his workouts when I am out of town. David takes the time to make sure I have everything I need. More importantly, David takes the time to get to know everyone who joins the Alpha Team. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been with him since the beginning or have dropped in as a guest. Since joining the Alpha Team, I have lost nearly 10% body fat, am stronger than I have ever been (both mentally and physically), and I have more energy to do the things I love. It has been about 6 months, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It has been life changing! Not only did I join a fitness club that offers amazing amenities and a variety of group fitness class, I joined A Movement. #WeAreAlpha

Christine S.

David asked me to join a group of girls for small group training. I was apprehensive because I have never been an athlete and didn’t want to be the slow/weak one of the group. I joined with all my nerves and butterflies and it was the best decision in my gym life. I gained a group of friends made up of strong, determined, beautiful women. I learned about how strong I am mentally and physically and I was able to let my leadership skills shine in the group. David helped get me into the best shape of my life both physically and mentally; and we had the time of our life doing it. It was a welcomed change from my previous weight-loss training which had broken me down emotionally. David encouraged us all and motivated us to go for things we didn’t think were possible. Even though it has been several years since David has moved away from Apex, NC, I can still hear his motivational words while I’m training today.

Ivory H.

David is a positive force in the gym. He sees the greatness in everyone he trains. He's excited to see us succeed every day in class, and that keeps me motivated. Plus he comes up with a fun new workout every day, so it's never boring and always challenging, fun teamwork!

Colleen C.

David has the most positive energy you will ever find. He will make your workouts fun and push you towards success. He will motivate you to set goals and he will push you to your limits so that you will achieve them. I appreciate all of the motivation he has brought to my world and I want him to spread it to yours. He is the best!!!

April P.

Alpha has changed my fitness routine completely. Everyday I am grouped with people that challenge and push me. David has taken it to the next step by holding me accountable ALWAYS! Even when you think you might be under the radar, wrong!!! He checks in and makes sure you are on track!

Missy B.

Train once with David and you will be hooked! David is a motivator, an educator, a coach, and 100% committed to his athletes/clients. "The Motivator": David posts and sends daily quotes to keep you on track with your goals. "The Educator": David's knowledge for training and fitness is like no other. He will guide you through functional movements that include strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance. "The Coach": David is an exceptional coach. He is there to cheer you on and keep you in check when you need it. He will challenge you to take your goals to the next level. You are part of a team when you join Alpha. "100 % Committed": David is purpose driven. He is committed to creating an environment that is conducive to personal growth and encouraging athletes to motivate themselves, as well as inspire their teammates. Developing purpose and meaning takes more time and energy (investment) but it can lead to that long-term motivation. Thank you, David, for being my motivator, my educator, and my coach!

Niat S.

There was a time where I did not believe in myself or my abilities to be apart of the Alpha team. There was one person who thought completely different, David. He told me that he knew without a doubt in his mind that I could achieve anything I wanted, he believed that I could crush my fitness goals and excel to new heights. When things got tough he was only a phone call away, I was able to talk to him about anything; life, fitness, education. He always kept it real with me, he became more than a coach, David is my brother. I am forever grateful and in debt to him for believing in me and pushing me to be the best version of myself.

Kristal G.

A great motivator is someone who challenges you to be a better you. David is not only an incredible motivator but has the ability to make you want to grow to new levels in your physical abilities that you didn't see possible! Before working with David as a coach I never set goals for myself in my workouts. With his guidance and knowledge, we have been able to push my personal boundaries to new heights. While working with David in Alpha I have begun to see my body elevating in areas that use to cause me pain and hinder my progress. He takes personal pride in tailoring a challenging program for each client that he works with to see them succeed given their physical abilities. He incorporates flexibility, strength, balance and endurance along with breaking down each movement to establish a strong foundation to work from. To say coaching and training are a passion of his would be an understatement. David creates the most welcoming and positive environment that drives everyone around him to be a better version of themselves inside and out. David has instilled in me that each movement starts with the mindset of believing in yourself first and foremost. With his continual support and encouragement, you know that your fitness capabilities do not have a cap. But rather, "The sky is the limit!" #ALPHA

Toure G.

I walked into Alpha 1Training on January 2014, acting on a federal from a friend. I had the opportunity to meat David. We chatted for a bit, he told me about his background, trials and tribulations of being a professional/ high level athlete, life, injuries, etc. I started the week trial and was hooked after 3 days. What an inspiring young man. He's one of my favorite people I've ever known! Besides his coaching abilities and rare level of positive thinking, he's a master motivator. The guy gets the link between pushing your body to the limit and incorporating that same mindset into life. I've cried in this mans office and he's helped become a better person. He helped get me back into modeling which is something I thought I would never do again. I miss him so much in Arizona along with his wife Michelle. Lifetime is extremely lucky to have him. God bless you and your family!

BROOKE G.

David is Life Time!! He is entertaining,friendly and inviting his passion and his energy is contagious!! Training with David I never wanted to stop I just wanted to keep going and do more!!

"There are two types of coaches: the first are the ones who watch as you struggle through the pain with encouraging words.... you look at them thinking "you couldn't possibly get through this with the rest of us" Then there's the second: the ones who gladly participate in and dominate the torture they have created for all. hahah Today was a beast. Brutal, but great. It's a love hate thing." -I wrote this on October 13th. David truly cares about me achieving the goals that I have set for myself, and always holds me accountable (even if that means handing me a heavier weight because he knows I can push myself harder). He's truly passionate about what he does! Since starting Alpha, I have seen changes on my body that I have never seen before, and I am getting so strong! Can't stop won't stop! Boom

I started training with David to build muscle for endurance racing (mainly triathlon). From my very first Alpha class I knew I had found not only a coach, but a friend who was going to push me to be my best and would support me in achieving my goals. David's energy and passion for life are contagious! Training with David has made me a better athlete, but more importantly, a better person.

David is such a wonderful person inside and out. His willingness to help me achieve my wants, and goals in fitness has been amazing. And to see him do that for not only me, but many other's truly is a blessing. The energy, support, and love I feel from him as a Coach makes him such a rare gem that I will forever treasure. Thank you David for being who you are. And helping me reach the highest potential in Alpha. Boom!
