Coach Dave is the real deal—his deep knowledge of fitness and physiology sets him apart from the rest. He brings a level of professionalism and focus that pushes you without ever making you feel overwhelmed. He is well known for getting elite athletes to the next level, but he also excels in working with people looking to improve their health. The results speak for themselves: I’m stronger than I have been in years.
What really stands out is his attention to detail—he notices everything and tweaks workouts on the fly to keep progress steady and safe. If you're serious about getting results, he's the one to call.

Coach Buchanan has been training me since I was in 5th grade, and every year I’ve noticed significant improvements in my game. He focused on every aspect of training and movement so that I could become the best athlete i could be. He improved my mindset and helped me become the athlete I am today. Coach Buchanan was willing to stay late and workout early in the mornings with me to accommodate my limited time. Overall in my time with coach Buchanan I have become an amazing athletes and have developed a great mindset when it comes to working hard and sports. He has become an amazing mentor and trainer for me.

Coach Buchanan is an excellent coach/mentor. I’ve been training with him for over 5 years. He cares very much about his clients and truly wants them to succeed in their goals. His extensive knowledge in physical therapy and weight training helps you understand the mechanics of each movement so you can apply it on your own in the future. I am thankful for all the time Coach Buchanan has given to help me improve, and I can’t recommend him enough.

Amazing workouts! Tremendous amount of thought put into each and every exercise. From day one Coach Buchanan took the time to get to know me and my goals. I always felt safe and supported under his guidance. Not only did we achieve a fitness goal but I was also left with a much more developed and positive mindset towards health and exercise. A truly amazing Coach and mentor!

I can not say enough about How Dave prepared my son to compete in college sports. Will started training with Dave in 9th grade, and he has continued to get strong and more athletic, including speed, balance and strength. Dave is able to push athletes through new barriers of training. This comes with his training knowledge, but the most overlooked need in sports is mental development. Dave tunes into his student's mental psyche and helps them reach the next level. Also with Dave, you get a guy who really understands nutrition. He created plans for Will when he had to be lean, and when he needed to bulk. Dave goes out of his way to attend his athlete's events and shows he cares about their success. He is a big part of Will's opportunity to wrestle at the University of Illinois. Thanks Dave, for everything you have done.

Dave is an excellent coach. He is thorough, real thorough, with the athletes he works with. My son's muscular strength grew rapidly under Dave's guidance. Dave is also into the whole person, and understands the mind and heart of an athlete.

Dave Buchanan is an excellent and one-of-a-kind trainer! My son received individualized training to strengthen and develop his physical abilities for wrestling, and he is dedicated and accommodating to the needs of his clients. Over years of training with Dave, we have seen positive changes in our son, both physical and mental. He follows up with his clients and has been a great mentor to our son.

All throughout high school I trained with Dave in an effort to get bigger, faster, and stronger. I accomplished all of these goals, which helped me with my football career. Dave uses a lot of different techniques that make working out both fun yet intense. I’m grateful for the years of help and am happy to say he’s a good friend of mine.

I’ve been seeing Dave for almost a year now and I have never met someone so devoted and invested in every single one of his clients. He has never missed a beat when it comes to checking-in on one one of his trainees and will work tirelessly to ensure your predetermined personal goals are achieved. If you’re looking for help when it comes to physical fitness, nutrition, or even general health — Look no Further!

I trained with Dave for years and I worked with him to compete at the highest levels of wrestling. He helped me with physical therapy, strength/conditioning, diet and everything in between. I’ve seen other personal trainers before and no one showed the care or knowledge he has. Along with pushing me to my limits everyday physically, Dave would push me to become better outside of sports. motivating me to do better in school and become a more well rounded man. His methods are different but time tested and made me the best wrestler I could be. If you’re thinking about training with Dave, stop thinking and do it. You will not regret it.

Dave Buchanan is the best trainer I have ever met. I met him around 3 years ago and I have made insane improvements to my strength, wrestling performance, and overall fitness. He is an amazingly knowledgeable person in the world of fitness, he has helped me through numerous injuries strengthening areas that need help while still finding a way to increase my muscle mass at the same time. He can work on anyone with an injury, anyone wanting to become more athletic, anyone in a sport or activity, and can help with weight management. He has written many programs to help me cut down for wrestling, bulk up in the offseason, and just general strength maintenance. He truly offers everything you need whether it’s strength training, diet work, injury help, or even a great guy in the community. Dave is always going out of his way to change his schedule for his clients (for example my wrestling meets) and he helps out many other people in his neighborhood. One time, he asked us all to help him shovel a World War 2 veterans drive way. He helped shovel right next to us. This man was 98 years old and could never had done this himself nor would he have asked us to do it for him, but Dave knew what was going on and made sure that no one in his neighborhood was going to be stuck inside because they cannot shovel their driveway. Overall, Dave is always looking out for others and can help anyone in any sport make the gains they need to become a great athlete or reach any other goal they have set for themselves.

Dave is the best trainer in the area. I have been seeing him for little over a year and I can’t even explain all the process I have made with him. Not only is he amazing with growing our body’s he’s a great guy. He wants to get to know you. He comes to a lot of our wrestling tournaments, he also checked up on me after my football games. If you are looking to become more of an athlete, Dave is that guy for you.

We met David through a fellow top placer for Wrestling that had been training with him for years. Since I’m referring to minors I’m skipping out on posting names. We signed up my son and WOW what a world of difference in strength, agility and performance. Not only did he physically influence change but also helped with nutrition and mindfulness. I highly recommend any top-performing athlete that is looking to take their sport to the next level to train with David. I would also recommend him for team coaching sessions as well - on how to achieve peak performance.
