David Alvarez was my personal trainer for the past year and he has served me fitness education about evidence-based procedures and demonstrated his practice to help me achieve my results which included losing body fat and increasing lean muscle. He taught me several things including the methods of progressive overload and showed me how form and basic foundation of learning from the bottom was essential to keep progressing. He also gave me enough confidence to implement my own workouts by either increasing strength with weights or with my own body weight. Not only was he encouraging me, I also found myself in different physical activities such as pilates, calisthenics, yoga, and running. (Hypertrophy) Conditioning was also needed to increase muscle and strength. David also taught me patience, and most of all, self acceptance. I was in a plateau, I lost weight by doing workouts at home, but I wanted to increase my strength. So I asked for a fitness consultation and David was recommended to me. I started from doing 0 pushups to doing up to 20 pushups! Within a few weeks, my body felt much leaner, had more prominent muscle in my arms, leaner neck, leaner legs and hips. I also lost 3 inches off of my waist while I worked with him. I highly recommend that you take him-his credibility is high since I’ve experienced his coaching myself. It takes a lot of investment but in order to achieve the body that you want— a body that you feel very comfortable to be in—you have a whole body of knowledge ahead of you and David will help you get to where you want.

I”ve trained with David for over a year and have been extremely pleased with the results and the whole process.
The routines he puts together are changed every 2-3 weeks to keep your muscles on their toes and to maximize their results. Changing to from higher weight/low rep, to lower weight/more reps, to compound reps or supersets and back again.
We’ve mainly focused on weight training, but I had him work with me for a few weeks ahead of a vacation on “conditioning.” Basically, high intensity interval training to drop weight. (It’s hard but effective.)
David is incredibly diligent, constantly watching form, proper cadence/speed of reps and checking in with you for the difficulty to give you more, less or keep the weight the same to maximize your workout.
When I’ve been extra sore or had specific problems, he’ll always run through different stretches and modifications to the exercise routines as necessary.

I am so glad David is my trainer! My main goal when I met David was to lose weight and increase my strength as I never really knew how to workout. After two years, I have lost weight and David has made me feel confident in the gym. He puts in the time and effort to ensure that I learn the barbell movements correctly and feel safe doing so. He also takes the time to make sure I understand the reason behind each exercise I am doing. I can proudly say that thanks to David I am now able to deadlift 200lbs and squat 170 lbs  and have increased my overall endurance. I highly recommend him for any training you may need.

Training with David was an amazing experience. David was always very attentive and able to guide me to workouts that assisted me in my goal. David showed me new workouts that I did not know and was able to expand my fitness knowledge exponentially. At the start of our program I came to David at around 200-210 pounds, and at the end of our journey I have lost about 30 pounds with the amazing help David has been. David not only helped me in the gym but also outside creating a small but flexible diet plan to continue help me reach my fitness goals even faster. I cannot recommend David more highly.

I love working out with David! He always listens to what my goals are and works to ensure I meet them by challenging me but never pressuring me to do something I am uncomfortable with. Through the time I’ve known him he is always furthering his education and knowledge of the industry and applying it in action. I first started working out with him in February 2019. Luckily I was paired with him after I bought a personal training package from LA fitness. At the time I was focused on losing weight and slimming down so we did a lot of cardio-based/high intensity workouts mixed with volume based weight training. I ended up finishing that package and meeting my body goals in time for my wedding. David listened when I told him how I wanted to look and tailored our workouts accordingly. When the gym was shut down because of COVID, David told me had started his own business and I’m so glad he did. Without being locked into any contract I was able to work out for longer sessions multiple times a week for less money than I was paying at LA fitness. Shortly after we began to work out at his facility, I found out I was pregnant! David was always very aware of modifications that we needed to make and listened to me when I felt I was doing too much. Rather than the high intensity workouts we were doing before we switched to olympic style lifting that focused on technique and leg, core and pelvic strength which I needed to birth a baby (all approved by my doctors/midwife team)! I continued to work out with him the remainder of my pregnancy and have felt very empowered the entire time. I’ve never felt stronger than I do at nine months pregnant at any other time in my life. My doctors and chiropractor have complimented how well I am carrying because of our workouts. I am days away from delivery now and I know that my work with David will pay off during labor and recovery!
