Personal Training in Long Beach, California

What is it that you want to do better?  Whether you are interested in wellness, want to perform better in your sport, lose weight, gain weight or simply to live life to its fullest.  I will design a program to improve it!  You will never be the same again!
Using NASM's OPT (Optimal Performance Training) model (click here to learn more about the OPT model) your program will be designed and progressed specifically for you based on your assessment, goals and fitness level. 
 
  • All workouts are planned and the specifics recorded and kept in your file in order to guarantee progress and variety
  • Your movement assessment is shot on video so you can see your progress
  • I use video often to work on your form and to show progress
  • Most workouts include some light massage at the end to expedite recovery 
  • Learn how to do Cardio correctly!
  • Learn about various flexibility methods and how/when to use them.

Before and After Results that matter!
Most before and after shots only show someone looks-I want to show you before and after pictures of how someone functions. Melissa below had been training previously elsewhere for several years when she came to me, we have made dramatic changes-notice her arched back, forward falling arms, lack of depth in squat compared to Nov picture!! Her core is much stronger and stable, we made great progress with her upper body and hip mobility.  This is a true measure of a fitness program-weight loss depends heavily on nutrition, whereas functional movement patterns can be corrected and enhanced by proper progressive exercise.  I want you to feel and look good!  
Core Strength and Stability are the center of all movement and therefore of all programs.  A strong core is the essential foundation  that will enable you to progress far beyond your expectations and stay injury and pain free. Our goal with your core training will be to develop optimum levels of neuromuscular efficiency, stability, and functional strength.

Your program will progress as you do.  This means that you should not expect days of extreme soreness or being pushed far beyond your limits.  Progressions are the key to a solid fitness base and an unlimited ceiling.  We will start out simple but before long you will be doing things you never thought possible-all the while not having to go through nights of extreme soreness and mornings where you can barely walk!!! That kind of training is not worth paying for-anybody can push you hard and make you sweat.  

I progress your program so you are  having fun, and being challenged


Any personal trainer telling you they have a secret way to DOUBLE THE RESULTS in half the time or doesn't spend the appropriate time to get your body ready for intense workouts should be avoided at all cost!-It is just a recipe for disaster and counterproductive!   May not be rocket science, but its still science!  Proper form, tempo, rest and volume is critical in determining your results.  




"I am Giovanni, I am 75 years old-a little overweight and unstable.  I met Dave on a golf course, and learned he was a personal trainer.  Well I have had many in my years, Dave is the only one that is hands on, innovative and different.  He outlined a schedule for my goals, and we stick to it.  If you want results see him now, you will really like the way you feel! What is so different about Dave-he asked me what I wanted to accomplish."

What world renowned trainers say about the elements in my programs:

Foam Rolling for Flexibility
Sue Falson, Physical Therapist for the Dodgers says "Foam Rolling is one of my favorite activities, a form of self tissue massage that can be very beneficial for recovery and regeneration.  Work 5-10 minutes of foam roll into your daily routine"

Balance
Greg Rose, co founder of Titleist Performance Institute says "Some of the most important muscles in your body are not involved in producing movement, but instead they provide static, or isometric, contractions.  These muscles act as nonstop stabilizers for routine movement as well as high level sporting activities.  Balance and Stabilization training improves the endurance of these muscles and teaches them how to correctly fire in a coordinated fashion.  I use Balance and Stabilization techniques with every training session."

Weight Training
Mark Verstegen, founder Athletes Performance says "Power and Strength play a critical role in acheiving peak performance, but ONLY when used to improve Movement Patterns.  Too often programs are regurgitated power or Olympic lifting programs or others to make a muscle bigger.  The Power lies in making your muscles smarter, more powerful & efficient, to better perform in your sport or activity."
