DNA Personal Training

At 51 years old I was bored, unmotivated and dissatisfied with my body. Crossfit seemed the last place where someone like me would want to go. Intimidated and convinced I would not be able to endure the workouts I thought I would try personal training as a less intimidating way to start. Rather than write an epistle about the changes that happened next, let me just say it has been three years since that first workout. The training and nutrition truly changed my life, my mind and my body. David is a level 4 trainer and it shows in his knowledge and abilities to train all different types of people. In 3 years I have never for a day been bored with a workout. Classes are purposely small so that good form can be emphasized. I have now moved on from personal training to classes and still like it! David spends a lot of time training the trainers so all of them pay attention to clients and their specific needs in every class. I have more energy and joy, I am motivated in workouts and in life in general. The positive method of training and reinforcement taught here makes me feel strong in body, mind and soul.

DNA is so much more than a typical crossfit gym. They also provide great personal training and nutrition guidance.
I attend the group classes. It’s convenient because they hold morning, lunchtime, and late afternoon classes. I’ve had great results, losing weight and body fat. But the best part is seeing what my body is capable of; I never thought I’d be able to bench press as much weight as I can now or run a 5k.
I love the friendly atmosphere and the excellent trainers. I’m so glad I found this gym!

After being in a rut with my exercise routine, lacking in both quality and quantity, I felt it was time to try and find something new. In my search, I came across the website for DNAPersonalTraining-​Crossfit (downtown location). There were several crossfit gyms listed but I thought this provided the complete solution for addressing strength, conditioning and nutrition. After almost 3 months, I can definitely say I made the right decision. In regards to the Crossfit approach, the trainers are excellent. They demonstrate each workout and work with you to make sure you are doing it right with the proper weight and technique. The workout groups are small and no matter the number, you still always feel you are working out 1 on 1 with trainer. The trainers not only know what they are doing, they like what they are doing and it definitely comes across in the workouts. Each day is a new routine and for once, the time seems to go by so fast. No more of the dreaded clock watch wanting for the exercise session to be over. David has been working with me on the nutritional side as well to reduce my %fat and increase my protein to support the strengthening of my muscles. What a transformation this has been for me. I never thought I could ever cut out or even reduce the amount of sugar I consume on a daily basis, but he explains the what, why and how. It has been a total turnaround for me. Results to date — reduced fat %, lost pounds, increase in strength and the dreaded working out attitude is gone! One other amazing thing, which I did not think ever possible, the cravings for sweets, are gone. Highly recommend this gym!

So glad to have found this gym! I was only in Tucson for a few weeks, and had been doing Crossfit for a few months before. I attended classes with some friends that were brand new to Crossfit, and some who hadn’t done it in a while, and we all got great workouts. David and Andre were both excellent trainers, knowledgable, encouraging, and safe. We met very cool people in the classes, the facility is well equipped and clean, and the burpees were good for the soul!

GREAT GYM! I was in Tucson for a month and needed to find a place to get a great workout. I am so glad I found DNA. The facility is amazing and the classes are small, which is great for personal attention to form. The equipment was perfect and the facility was always very clean. David was fantastic ! He made sure I was always being safe, and that I was challenged too. In one month I saw a huge difference and I am now a Cross Fit Junkie. The people here are awesome and I am sad I cannot take it back with me to New York City!

My life began when I started coming to DNA. I don’t remember the grey existence before I was introduced to burpees and rope climbs. I love this place!
