Location Spring, TX

I'm Dave, 52-year old, Master Trainer who has serviced over 9500 lifetime sessions, and I have been training clients professionally for 10.5 years, but I have been training overall a total of 38 years. As an added advantage, I have been a high school certified English and German teacher and coach for 17 years, so I have a solid proficiency at instruction, organization, programming, and preparation for students and athletes alike. I have certifications from NASM including, the basic Certified Personal Trainer, Performance Enhancement Specialist (for athletes) and a Corrective Exercise Specialist (for dealing with injuries, the elderly, and the like). I enjoy training, and I have high expectations for my clients as I demand excellence from them always since I believe all of my clients can achieve their goals with the right commitment level.

What to Expect

My clients will realize from the outset that I want to start by building the foundations of training teaching dynamic movements which are essentially fundamental to all training modalities. I provide a structure, an order, an organization and time frame in which to accomplish all parts of what is necessary to complete each daily session based on the program that is conducive to whatever the client's purpose in training is. In other words, I'm very sensible and rational, so no time at all is wasted and everything serves the purpose of building the client as if I were building a massive skyscraper, from the ground up, from blueprint (program) to final completion of the "building." Clients learn and develop as they grow into becoming the fittest they've ever been in their entire lives. For all clients, I need at least 24 hours notice of cancellation; otherwise, I will have to charge you for the session. Thus, I need plenty of notice, so that we can reschedule the missed session WITHIN the week it was originally scheduled. It is a business, after all, so as you know, time is money.

Client Success Story

I have a client, a professor at SHSU, I have been training for about five years. He has accomplished incredible feats, but simplest to say, he started at 262 lbs and 32 percent body fat, and in about the first year, he dropped to 198 lbs and 17 percent body fat. He struggles with his diet, but I keep him on track by reinforcing the value of his program and his aim of living a long, prosperous, healthy life unto a ripe old age. Bob Burress, client below, is 61 years old, and regular runner and an excellent client. I put him on a 10-week deadlift program where he added 25 lbs of strength from 340 to 365 lbs, twice his body weight at 61 years old. Btw, I've worked with him for years and dropped his body fat percentage to 10 percent on several occasions but generally maintains about 12 percent.

I started from close to ground zero in terms of knowledge about fitness, flexibility, and free weight training, and Dave’s been instrumental in helping me progress towards my personal goals. If you’ve got the dedication and discipline to follow his instruction, Dave will take care of the rest.

If you are looking for a trainer who will hold you accountable, push you to challenge yourself, and teach you proper form, Dave is your guy. In our sessions he always pushed me to work harder, do more, and incorporate fitness and healthy eating habits into my everyday life. He taught me proper form and training skills that I will carry with me always. Using the skills he taught me, I'm now in the best shape I've been in in years and have so much more energy. Thanks Dave!

I met with David for training sessions about twice a week for several years. The sessions were always well-planned and goal-oriented, but flexible enough to accommodate changes as needed. I enjoyed the workouts and felt that I was making real progress in physical fitness. He's a real professional.

Motivation and attention to detail; two qualities making my experience with David an overwhelming success. During the year I spent with David, each 1 hour session was a mix of core and strength training, a majority of the exercises I had never experienced, resulting in an overall tremendous workout with results I had never previously experienced. I expected to be challenged, and what I came to enjoy most about my workouts was the fact that while David pushed me each and every workout, I gained the confidence in that if David thought I could do it, I knew I could do it. The perfect motivation to push myself to new limits. His attention to detail, always making sure form came first, resulted in my overall body being in the best shape it’s ever been in, and as a 50 year old man, that was very important to me. If you want to “cruse” through your workout; don’t work with David. If you want a tremendous overall workout, to be reasonably pushed to your limits resulting in tremendous growth, David is the trainer for you. The greatest compliment I can give David … after every workout he would ask me “how do you feel?” With rare exception I would always respond “… better than when I walked in here!”

David Boaz has been my personal trainer since October of 2010. As a former gymnast, I was really out of shape and had not really exercised for years. Since starting to work with David, I have gone down 5 dress sizes. David has brought back the athlete in me. During my training I experienced an injury (not related to training) and David was able to work with my physical therapist to get me back to health. I believe it was David's knowledge and skills that helped me get back to full ability with my knee. He is very focused and makes your training specific for the goals you want to achieve. David's knowledge of diet has helped me to eat more healthy. In January I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I believe the work I have done with David has made me healthy enough to face cancer. David has not only supported me throughout this journey but has guided me through ways that I can continue to work on my fitness goals. He continues to challenge me and I know when this journey is over, he will be there pushing me to reach my goals. You will not find a more encouraging personal trainer. He will give you a workout that will leave you feeling accomplished and will keep you focused on your goals. I know that because of David I am more active than I have been in years and I love going to work out.

Before I trained with David, I had worked out at a gym for five years with minimal results. David showed me how to get the most out of my workouts and maintain overall good health. He is also the consummate professional. I would definitely recommend him for anyone looking to get a trainer; whether their goal is weight loss, body toning or muscle building.

David definitely knows how to build muscle. If you want a trainer who will push you and encourage you to keep going, even through pain, he's the trainer for you.

I have worked with David for about 3 years. I had worked with 2 other trainers prior to that. With David I have made tremendous strides especially in my lower body strength. He is meticulous about the proper form of lifting and constantly coaches on maintaining proper form.

David has been my personal trainer since August of 2009. At that time I weighed 255 lbs. and kept getting bigger. With Dave's support and guidance, I now weigh 200 lbs. and have a much more active lifestyle and enhanced quality of life. Dave is a master trainer with substantial knowledge in diet and lifestyle practices. He both encourages and challenges me to maintain a healthy lifestyle. His workouts are always rigorous and specifically tailored to my body's strengths and weaknesses, as well as my personal lifestyle goals. I am 62 years old and in the best shape since I was 25. Thanks Dave.
