It was difficult and I had a ton of excuses for which David had a response for each and every one but basically saying there is no reason/excuse why I can’t stick to the meal plan. I finally got it through my thick head that I could do it and I did, but I was able to do this because of David’s help. He was the encouragement and tough love voice that helped me realize that I am strong enough to get my body where I want it.

I would like to thank my amazing coach Nikki Johnston, whom I hope will never stop training because I am going to need her for a long time! My amazing supporter, Abel Hernandez, for being there for 2am training sessions, constant meal prepping, the emotional highs and lows,and pushing me further than I knew how to do on my own. Also, my mother Nichola Trail, always available by phone, and always sending me the right pick-me-up when I needed it most. Love all of y’all.

For those among you who compete, we all do it for different reasons. A personal challenge for some, or proving to the world that you can accomplish a Herculean task. A display of discipline and drive, focus and commitment.

David is a rockstar trainer.  To me, he is like a doctor of exercise & nutrition science.  All you have to do, is to listen to him step by step & whatever your goal is, he will get you there.  I have been working with him almost a year & have learned a lot...

DONNA GIORDANO, NPC FIGURE COMPETITOR

Lifting is going well and I am noticing small increases in strength.  YES still vascular and people stop me to comment on that so I KNOW it’s not just me thinking I still see the vascularity.  I’m really not as freaked as I thought I’d be by gaining...

MEGAN MORIARTY, NPC FIGURE COMPETITOR

  I have spent my fair share of time in the gym but it wasn’t until I began working with David that I really tapped in to, not only my true potential, a true passion.  In the 4 months that I have been training with David I have lost 20 lbs, went from a size 6 to...

JIM DRISKELL, NPC MEN’S LIGHWEIGHT BODYBUILDER

When I started working with David Johnston, I told him I want to “look” like I could get on stage.  In a few short months, David was able to push me beyond my limits, exceed my expectations and give me the confidence to actually get on stage and compete in my first...
