About David
Elevate YOUR mind, body, and Quality of life.
This isn’t just about fitness, it’s about living a healthier and more fulfilling life.
My Mission
I help busy professionals and former athletes become stronger, healthier, more capable versions of themselves through a holistic approach that goes far beyond the gym.
My method isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about mastering your body, mind, and daily habits so you can create real change that lasts a lifetime.
In 2015, while finishing my degree, I began working at one of Canada’s most prestigious private clubs. I started as a gym attendant and quickly became a personal trainer, coaching busy professionals to build stronger, more capable bodies. Over time, I developed my own training system - Functional Performance Training. A time-efficient, science-based system built to enhance strength, aesthetics, performance, and longevity for both sport and life.
Then came 2020 - and the world shut down.
Gyms closed, routines collapsed, and like many others, I went back to basics. I started sprinting again at the local track to stay fit, where I often saw Canadian national bobsleigh athletes training. I was in awe of their speed, power, and athleticism, but never knew much about the sport.
I kept training and doing what I loved to do and a year later, on that same track I was approached and encouraged to try out for the bobsleigh team. The following fall I made the Canadian National Bobsleigh Team and went on to compete in World Cup races, fulfilling a lifelong dream to perform at an elite level.
But after another round of injuries and some soul searching, I realized something deeper: elite performance wasn’t the full picture. True success wasn’t just about pushing limits, it was about living with purpose, balance, and fulfillment.
That realization reshaped everything.
Today, through my coaching, I help others do the same - build strength, reclaim their health, and create the physical and mental foundation to live their most fulfilled lives.
Because for me, fitness isn’t just about the body. It’s about who you become along the way, and living your most fulfilling life.
MY STORY
I didn’t always love fitness.
As a teenager, I was overweight, struggled with body image, and lacked confidence. I played sports and performed well enough, but I didn’t live a healthy lifestyle, and I felt the effects of it mentally and physically.
In high school, I excelled at football and track & field. For the first time, I discovered what it felt like to truly push and dedicate myself to something. Unfortunately, injuries kept me from competing at the university level, and I lost the athletic identity and my main form of exercise.
In college, I began studying biological sciences with plans of becoming a doctor, but without sport in my life, I drifted. I gained over 20 pounds, felt unmotivated, and couldn’t shake the feeling that I’d squandered my athletic potential.
That’s when I found CrossFit, and everything changed.
It became more than a workout; it became an outlet to rebuild myself, to move towards the person I could become, not just physically, but mentally. I switched my major to Kinesiology and never looked back. Kinesiology and fitness became my new obsession that I completely immersed myself in.
