About Us

Welcome to Train Beyond The Pain, home of TBTP Athletes! A "TBTP Athlete" is an unhealthy person who is able to train beyond the (emotional, physical, and spiritual) pain to achieve their fitness goal. Our first fitness program was designed by David, in May of 1999. At the age of 17 he was labeled as obese, weighing 249 pounds and his body fat was over 32%. Dealing with shortness of breath, aching joints, and depression; he was close to giving up. However, he decided to fight back for his health and designed his first fitness program (known today as Train Beyond The Pain). Within 11 months he lost 79 pounds while adding lean muscle. 

 One year later, he went on to test his fitness by joining our U.S Military to serve in Operation Iraqi Freedom and significantly contributed to the success of the largest military offload in American History. During his service, David also had the privilege to design fitness programs for U.S Marines in his unit.  

He went on to earn 10,000+ training hours, 3 Certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine, achieved Certified Master Trainer, graduated with a Bachelors’ Degree in Sports and Exercise Science, plus launched his own fitness company. All in pursuit of the Train Beyond The Pain mission, "to help others live a healthier lifestyle."

Over the years, David has helped thousands of clients; his growing team of TBTP Athletes continue to be a proven testimony and you can too! Complete our Online Form to schedule your free consultation and learn more about our Fitness Programs.
