Introduction: Hello! My name is David Santacruz. I am a Certified Personal trainer (ACSM) and Exercise Physiologist (ACSM). I earned my Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science at Virginia Commonwealth University. I am passionate about helping my students discover how to improve their mobility and balance for them to live stronger longer. Your goals may include but are not limited to: 1. Improved Mobility 2. Improved balance 3. Muscle/strength gain 4. Improve Posture 5. Reduced Pain 6. Fat Loss 7. Nutrition Guidance 8. Improved Metabolism 9. Improved stamina 10. Make you harder to hurt both in life as well as on the playing field. We will discover which movements are appropriate for you to do in a program that I will develop as our collaboration continues. It's not my intent to destroy you or make you feel weak, as it's more valuable to learn to move better with progressively more difficulty or more weight. During your sessions, in addition to training, we may also discuss habits that align with your goals, assignments I have given you, and topics related to your fitness goals. I will also be asking questions about your life to see how I can best adjust your training to your lifestyle. Looking forward to getting to know you and helping you achieve while improving your well-being!

Working with David has been an incredible experience. He's an incredible person and a fantastic trainer. He's helped me achieve things I wouldn't have thought I could previously. I can't recommend him enough.

David is an excellent personal trainer. He helped me gain muscle, hit my goals, and boosted my confidence. Beyond fitness, he's a great person to chat with, making each session enjoyable. I would highly recommend his practical and effective approach.

Thank you Parker! It's been a huge pleasure to get to know you and I'm excited to continue our journey together. Parker has been incredibly consistent with both his nutrition and training, which has resulted in fairly linear progress. His strength gains have been outstanding!

April of 2021, I started my personal fitness journey with David. He has been beyond amazing with his training abilities with me. It's not just been about building strength physically, but mentally as well. Encouraging me through personal fears trying new skills I never believed I was capable of achieving. David always has given me positive feedback, encouraging me to push forward. He has an approach in properly correcting body and mind connection to ensure I am able to reach my personal goals. David communicates clearly with me every week to make sure I am getting what I am looking for. What David has help me transform myself into, is short of amazing. I feel healthier at 48 then I did at 25. David's positive approach and knowledge as a Personal Trainer is phenomenal. He cares deeply for each client he works with, no matter your age group or if you are male or female. David thank you for your high-quality person touch you have. I continue to look forward to furthering my fitness journey with you as my personal trainer. Kerri Lowell

Personal Training with David is top notch! He's the best personal trainer I've worked with. He's professional, is always on time, is encouraging and makes me want to put the most into our sessions. I've worked with other trainers who just "did their job" but David goes the extra mile to ensure that mind, body and spirit are fit and in good shape!

The Human Experiment's reply

Doug thank you so much for this review :) To be honest I used to get frustrated when I thought I had all the answers about health and wellness (lol) and felt like my students were ignoring my guidance. Now I realize the importance of meeting my students where they are at and taking baby steps towards their health, not trying to force them to do all kinds of things that aren't realistic or sustainable. The truth is the journey towards "Health" is the whole point. Doing what you can, when you can, and allowing the momentum to build. Start with the bare minimum and work your way up.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to get a good understanding of why my clients have the goals they have, to figure out your "why". We will be teaching you how to move your body with and without resistance equipment like free weights and bands, but we will also be discussing why we are doing what we are doing aligns best with your goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bachelor of Science, Exercise Science, (Virginia Commonwealth University) Certified Exercise Physiologist (American College of Sports Medicine) Certified Personal Trainer (American College of Sports Medicine) 5 Years in the United States Marine Corps (I will not take you to boot camp)
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began studying exercise science with the intention of becoming a physical therapist. I gained so much wisdom and am incredibly grateful for my time learning under amazing physical therapists. However, I discovered that I am more interested in helping people reach their health and wellness goals as a trainer. In this way, I'm able to spend a dedicated hour with one person at a time, where we can execute and discuss movements as well as behaviors and habits outside of training that are linked to your goals.
