About Dave

Built from
real coaching.

Forget The Gym came out of 25 years of coaching real people in homes, private studios, hotel rooms and tour buses — not out of a software office.

Dave's client list looks less like a gym demographic and more like a cross-section of real life. The plan is always built around the person first, not the other way around.

  • Touring musicians — including Imagine Dragons
  • UFC fighters and combat-sport athletes
  • Models and public figures — including Rachel Cook
  • CEOs, executives, and entrepreneurs
  • Stay-at-home moms and dads
  • Clients managing Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
  • Children and adults on the autism spectrum
  • Post-physical therapy and pre/postnatal clients

You don't need another
random workout.

You need a plan that changes when your life does.

01

Training built around real life.

Your schedule, your equipment, your energy, your injuries — not a template written for someone else's week.

02

Progression, not random workouts.

Every session moves the last one forward. That's the difference between training and just sweating.

03

Coaching that adjusts.

Travel week, back tweak, deadline season — the plan changes so you keep going instead of starting over.

Consistency, compounded

People who stayed with it — through real life.

These aren't 90-day sprints. These are people who kept going because the plan kept adapting.
