My experience with Train with Dave has been an amazing experience for the past two years. The trainers are knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to assist. Recently have had the pleasure of training with Mike Barcenas since February 2026, he has stepped up my training regiment, always encouraging and showing me how to get the most out of my routines, goals and nutrition.

I've been training with Mike for a few months now, and have seen great results, while enjoying my workouts.
Train with Dave has everything you need from keeping track of food/macros as well as full work out plans day by day. The trainers will make sure to support you hitting your goals, but will adjust to make sure it's something each person will be able to keep up with in the long term.
