Hi, I am David, owner of Populus Personal Training. I have been involved in the health and fitness industry since 2007. I started out as an instructor for Les Mills Bodypump at the local gym, and then got certified as a Les Mills RPM instructor. I really enjoyed working with groups of people who saw the need to take responsibility for their health and well being. Helping groups of people improve their health was great, but in a class setting as an instructor I could only do so much. This motivated me to become certified as a personal trainer. With this certification I have been able to work one on one with individuals and help them reach their specific personal goals. In order to provide more services I also received my certification as a specialist in fitness nutrition. With physical training only being part of the fitness equation, being able to give nutritional guidance allows me to serve clients in a more complete manner.

​

On a personal level, I am a husband, dad, and runner. I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment when I complete a marathon or an ultra marathon, but the real love of running for me is in the training aspect. Preparing for race day over the course of months is a constant reminder that anything worth achieving in life requires focus, discipline, and patience. Going through this training process helps me appreciate the process my clients experience. I understand the challenges intrinsic to striving to reach a long term goal. I would love to use my professional and personal experience to optimize your results. Let's work together on creating a healthier life for you.
