Friends, all of this is due largely in part to my most excellent trainer, David Rivera. He is one of a kind, super knowledgeable and an all around great guy. I am so fortunate to have found him for without him my success would not have been so dramatic. Speaking as someone who spent many years working out in chain gyms, let me tell you, there is a difference between personal trainers.
I established this website back in 2008. I had just retired from professional mixed martial arts but still competed as an elite grappler. I was very fit but drank heavily. I had a lot of demons being an alcoholic. I found turmeric along with many other modalities. This transformation also started with my mind.
Thank you " personal training client" for telling me about Bitter Melon and thank you God for your amazing creations! There are so many plant foods containing components that will fight various ailments such as cancer. As we know, the pharmaceutical industry frowns upon supplements derived from plant components and is trying to make it harder for us to obtain them by taking them from "over the counter" to prescription only!

David is the man! I go to him every few weeks for a deep tissue massage. I am always impressed with his intelligence. He has thorough understanding of anatomy and knowing how each muscle groups function. I usually walk in with aches and pains from the work week throughout my body but leave rejuvenated. If you want to experience one of the best massages of your life, schedule with David. You won’t regret it!

AMAZING! This is the best deep tissue massage I have ever received. This is a sport's medicine quality massage. I am a lifter and mover so I had knots everywhere in my muscles. It was obvious that David understands muscle attachment points, muscle tension/myofascial release, muscle strain/ injury treatment. If you are an athlete (or not), this is the place.

I went for a massage today and totally enjoyed it. Due to the pandemic I haven't done anything but staying home for the past 8 months. Taking temperature, sanitizing, wearing masks, I liked the fact David was cautious and responsible. It's a small private gym and David handles his business in a very professional and respectable way. Highly recommended.

I am a USMC Veteran w multiple shoulder injuries. I always found it hard to describe my pain location once it migrated to my neck & back area. I didnt need to explain he found it and worked it out to relieve some pain. I also had some hip pain that was hard to describe because I couldnt point it out exactly. I had been to physical therapy for 6 weeks with no help. He found it and worked on it for me. I am now able to sleep on my left side!! I will definitely be utilizing him very often!!

David is a dedicated professional who practices what he preaches and gets results. I am utterly amazed at my personal transformation in just 5 weeks. David is excellent at assessing your level and pushing limits just enough but not too much. If you're looking for a thoroughly knowledgeable personal trainer and nutritionist, look no further.

David has helped me overcome several injuries. My most recent was right shoulder and right knee. Post 50's blues. I work out with David. Have been for over 2 years now. He's awesome and knows his stuff for sure. My right shoulder was so bad at times I was unable to raise my arm. The pain was excruciating and to top that off I decided to run sprints on the treadmill last week. My right knee didn't like that. It felt like it was gonna give out and got real tight. I scheduled a massage with David so he could work on these areas. He put me through 1 hour of pure torture. LOL. No pain no gain. Right

Yesterday I visited David due to a severe crick in my neck. I was unable to sleep and my daytime activity was compromised. David really worked through each muscle carefully until the pain was almost gone. I slept like a baby that night and I can honestly say my neck and shoulders feel great. Thanks again

My journey to David began in December 2016. I was 50 years old. Weighed 235 pounds, and, had very little muscle mass. I was tired of sitting on the bar stool everyday. I needed a change. I joined 24 hour fitness.
In January 2017 I hired one of the personal trainers at 24. I knew nothing about weight lifting and wanted to train with a professional. It didn't work out well. He didn't understand my body and my needs. I ended up hurting myself, and, by March, I couldn't raise my left arm above my head. I stopped working with that trainer and sought therapy for my shoulder

David has been my personal trainer for several years. He is knowledgeable, skilled, and intuitive. He leads me through different workouts each time and created several routines so that I can work out on my own from time to time. But, the motivation he provides is the key. If you are looking for a personal trainer, David is the best choice!
