About David
helping you elevate your experience of life.
I'm David Caixeiro - a coach, educator, and creator exploring what it means to live a healthier, more conscious, and fulfilling life.
My work sits at the intersection of health, fitness, self-mastery, consciousness, and personal growth. I teach practical tools and principles that help people become more aware of themselves, take greater control of their inner world, and create a more fulfilling life that feels authentic and meaningful.
Why i do this
My background began in health and fitness. With a degree in Kinesiology, years of experience as a coach, and a background as a Team Canada bobsleigh athlete, I've spent much of my life exploring human performance and what we're capable of.
But over time, I became increasingly interested in something deeper.
What actually determines the quality of our experience of life?
I began exploring meditation, mindfulness, spirituality, psychology, mindset, habits, emotional regulation, and the relationship between our inner and outer worlds.
I realized that many of the things I had been studying weren't separate from health and fitness. They were all connected by something more fundamental:
Our level of awareness.
what I believe
THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE BEGINS WITH THE QUALITY OF YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS.
Much of life can be lived on autopilot - reacting to our thoughts, emotions, habits, conditioning, and circumstances without realizing how much they shape our experience.
The more conscious we become, the more capacity we have to observe ourselves, make intentional choices, regulate our internal state, and change the patterns that keep us stuck.
Awareness creates choice. Choice creates self-mastery. Self-mastery creates freedom.
And with greater inner freedom comes the ability to create a healthier, more authentic, meaningful, and fulfilling life.
My work
I teach people how to live healthier & more conscious lives.
Through my content, coaching, programs, meditations, and future teachings, I explore the practices and principles that help us become more conscious and masterful human beings.
This includes meditation and mindfulness, emotional regulation, mindset, fitness, nutrition, recovery, habits, spirituality, purpose, authenticity, and intentional living.
These aren't separate subjects to me.
They're different practices in service of one larger aim: helping us elevate our experience of life.

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.
