De'Von was a great choice for me. I am a busy doctor with literally no time but needed to create a self-care plan for healthy living. I am glad I picked De'Von to help me with that. He understood my needs and has met them by creating a weekly plan for exercise and diet. He's supportive and motivating -- not pushy or demanding, which was important for me! He has several certifications, is very knowledgeable about molecular/chemical processes underlying gains, he's personable, and pays attention to the important details like form and unique client challenges to overcome. After our initial consultation and exercise, I bought a package so that he can continue to help me reach my healthy goals. Thanks, De'Von!
Thank you Dr. Lindsay! I'm absolutely flattered. Your willingness to work through your busy schedule is what it takes to be able to achieve any goal and a trainer couldn't ask for a better client.

DeVon is a true professional that is quick to respond and reliable. If your serious about your goals, he’s the trainer for you. Take advantage of the nutrition plan for ultimate results. Let DeVon guide you back into health or a healthy lifestyle. I was able to reach my goals in 8 sessions with DeVoe’s assistance and persistence.

De’Von is one of the best trainers I have ever had. He genuinely cares about your wellness and success not only on a physical level but on an emotional level too. When I started working out with De’von, I was extremely out of shape and hadn’t worked out seriously for years. He has been patient with me while teaching me to love fitness. He writes your meal plan, and touches base with you throughout the day to hold you accountable (which is huge bc accountability is one of the hardest parts) I’ve been working with De’von for almost 2 months and my physique looks better now than it did as a collegiate athlete. No matter what stage of your fitness journey you are on, if you are looking for results, De’von is your guy.

I've had one session with De'Von so far and I really enjoyed it! He is clearly very knowledgeable about nutrition, health, and fitness. He is invested in helping me achieve the goals that I named. I have agreed to work with him for several more sessions and I'm very much looking forward to what we can achieve!
UPDATE: Over 6 months later I'm still training with De'Von. I love it! He's an awesome trainer who clearly cares about his clients and wants to see them achieve their goals. Since we started I've lost 8% body fat! I'm so happy to have De'Von on this journey with me. He's caring but tough at the same time, and is always ready to push me to my limits when it's necessary. I would recommend him to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals.

I’ve been working with Devon for the past couple of months and have seen dramatic changes in my body. Within the first couple of weeks on his nutrition and strength plan, I started to see my body shedding water weight and building muscle. The photos attached are at the start of our journey, and after just two months. Devon is highly dedicated to the well-being of his customer. If you are really serious about working out, losing weight or building muscle, you will not be disappointed with Devon.
