Regenerate Strength - Santa Barbara, California

Emily McLaughlin

I came to Coach Dave with zero workout experience. From our first session, the experience has been enjoyable and rewarding. Coach Dave personalizes each session and incorporates fun challenges and anecdotes that not only make me laugh, but keep me motivated and eager to improve. His passion for fitness is inspiring and each session leaves me feeling stronger, more confident, and energized. I couldn't be happier with the experience so far, and I really never thought I'd say this, but my training sessions have become my favorite part of the week. This isn't just a review, it's a heartfelt thank you to a fantastic trainer who has transformed my view on fitness and changed my life for the better. Thank you so much, Dave!

Regenerate Strength, led by Dave, has truly transformed my life! Dave's expertise in health, fitness, and lifestyle is unmatched, and his attention to even the smallest details sets him apart. As a coach, he goes above and beyond, ensuring I always feel comfortable and confident throughout my journey while also pushing my limits and helping me be the best version of myself. With his guidance, I not only achieved physical milestones but also embraced a balanced lifestyle that encompasses mindfulness and self-care. If you're seeking a life-changing transformation, I highly recommend Regenerate Strength and Dave as your coach. Get ready for an incredible journey of personal growth and lasting change.

So I am that dude who previously didn’t really enjoy working out.
Yea yea so I would go for a few times, keep it up for a bit then I would stop going, always finding an excuse.
Coach Dave changed that.
Now we are all busy aren’t we ?
We all have stuff to do, places to be.
So many times in our lives especially at the gym and working out in general the word
“motivation” has been crammed into our being, along with “stay motivated”.
Well yea that’s great and all but how do you stay motivated ?

Something, among many others things that Coach Dave has taught me is this -‘“Discipline is key. Discipline creates freedom. Discipline keeps motivation alive.”
That makes sense to me.
Coach Dave has not only helped me achieve mobility and strength goals but also changed my mindset in a positive manner.
There is no cookie cutter approach with him. He understands that everyone person that he coaches is different and uses that understanding to have a workout plan that you the client is going to benefit from.
He listens to what you want to achieve, and if you don’t know the “what” he helps you get to a place where you figure out what is important to you.
I am grateful that Dave is my Coach.

It had been a full year since I stopped going to the gym, and I knew I needed to get back into shape to improve my physical and mental well-being. I reached out to Coach Dave to help me get back into a fitness routine. He created a personalized training plan to help meet my fitness goals, and I immediately saw results. He was extremely knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition, and health. I would highly recommend Regenerate Strength to anyone. Thanks Coach for all your help!

I love working with my OPEX coach! Dave has provided an environment unlike any other fitness program I have been a part of. The workouts that he programs for me are challenging, but they keep me safe and pain free. It’s a really good feeling to get into the gym, get my workout done and leave feeling like I accomplished something and did a great thing for my health. I’ll admit that it’s only been a few months that I’ve been working with OPEX, but I’ve already seen results by gaining 3lbs of muscle mass and improving my body composition overall. I would highly recommend working with Coach Dave and OPEX Santa Barbara! V.

I could not be happier with the results that I have worked toward and made with OPEX. Coach Dave always makes the time to clarify something, chat with me about my progress or life stressors, making him not only an awesome athletic coach, making sure I reach my health and fitness goals but also acts as a life coach as needed!
PLUS he knows his stuff! We get to talk monthly about how programming is going, what I like and don't like and to just check in on how life is going. I am so happy and proud of myself, all with the help of Dave. He's always trying to improve upon his knowledge so that he can better serve his clients. 120% recommend to anyone looking to get started at the gym, expand their knowledge or just get in shape simply and easily.

I first started training with Coach Dave years ago and he helped transform my perception of exercise and nutrition. The program developed for me was fantastic. I’m not the most coordinated person in the world either. Dave is patient and understanding. Thank you!!

Feel like all my past experiences, failures and hopes have lead to me bumping into David at OPEX SB. I could not be happier. I was in the gym walking on the treadmill and we ended up talking. Hoped I would find a good trainer and I was wrong. Found a great one. Everything has been fantastic. Love getting my workouts well in advance and connecting in person when I need. Or via the Personal Training app when I"m on my own. This is the future of training. David talks like he's been doing this for 20 years. Passionate and has a plan for anyone and everyone. I would recommend to anyone.
