Testimonials
My name is Jordan Story!! I definitely recommend Dave Liberman to others because he is honest helpful and considerate. He really doesn’t feel like a nutritionist more like a good friend. I truly consider him as one today actually… :) I believe he isn’t expensive but, is definitely worth more. His knowledge is empowering they’re wasn’t one question I could ask him that he didn’t know. When meal prepping and stressing out nothing feels better than someone that’s knows all of the answers!! If you are planning on doing a simple diet or even an intense diet this is the guy give him a call!!! Thank you, Dave your amazing !!!

In September 2012, Dave Liberman grabbed me at our home gym, Titan's Mentor. He was urging me for the umpteenth time that I need to do his show. However, this time was different because I was a recently single man looking for a purpose so I decided to go for it with only two weeks prep time.
Even with his incredibly busy pre show schedule, Dave still made time to teach me and review the three goto Men's Physique poses and I was on stage two weeks later. Despite coming in last place Dave believed I was a champion and urged me to continue onto the Cincinnati Monster Mash just a few weeks later. It was there that I earned my first top five and first National Qualification!
As of last month, 19 shows later, we have earned a #1 NPC USA Masters Men's Physique status! Expect to see a lot more of us this year!!
Always pushing to get on the next stage, show our work and come in just a little better! Legendary Diamond Dave Liberman thank you! I am very proud to call you a great coach & loyal friend!

Shalom and Armando Arellano
My brother and I were in search of a new gym when we moved back into the Cleveland Area after both graduating with our Bachelors in Exercise Sciences. We always had the interest in competing in Men’s Physique competitions, so we wanted to look for a gym that would help us get to that level. Even with our knowledge in exercise, we did not know the specifics on contest prep. Upon joining the gym, we saw that THE Dave Liberman that puts on the show we have always heard about worked out of Titans Gym. We contacted him just a few days before the new year and he was willing to take on the challenge of training both my brother and I. With us being both around 5’4” 135lbs, he did not have much to work with. He was able to come up with a program tailored to my brother and I to help us get into the best shape of our lives! We had some of the best conditioning at the 2016 NPC Natural Ohio after just 12 weeks of prepping! Dave was always there to answer all the question during our prep, and guide us with the proper training, nutrition, and posing. He will be there to push you, challenge you, and support you! Not only is Dave an amazing coach, he is also an awesome friend, and for that we cannot thank you enough! This is only the beginning of our journey, and we will continue learning and training towards the path of success! Thanks Again Dave!

My name is Lidija and my age is 42.

I said to myself long ago "I will one day put on a bikini and not be self conscious". Today, I am VERY PROUD of what I have accomplished! I have been heavy most of my life and decided to take the next step to health and looking great!
It all started with when I joined Titans gym in mentor I kept watching people working out with this trainer and kept seeing awesome bodies come from it. And I am pleased to say I have found an amazing trainer!
I have been working with Dave Liberman for a year and in this year he has transformed my body into AWESOME !
I have lost a total of 75 pounds and I'm so proud. I thank Dave every day for helping me accomplish another one of my dreams! Not only is Dave my coach and supporter but he is my dear friend.

As soon as I started mentioning to people that I was interested in competing, I consistently heard one name: Dave Liberman. He was "the guy who put the show on and who knew his stuff." Lucky for me he was only a 40 min drive! (What a great well known resource that is local!) I wrote an email to explore the idea of possibly competing and he responded right away!- he always responds so quickly. Dave listened to all of my goals, needs as well as my limitations on time. He has always been nothing but understanding, flexible and a source of positive encouragement. I leave every work out feeling better about myself. He does not train using a shame technique. It's is only positive and encouraging. He knows this industry inside and out. He doesn't push the fads, just the tried and true methods that get results! He is humble and I really feel he just wants the best for me in this journey. It is wonderful to work with a coach who is approachable and not self serving. Don't be confused, your workouts will be tough and you will be sore for days- like can't sit down sore after leg day! I am in the best shape of my life at 33 years old after having 5 children and I credit Dave for helping me to reach my goals. I really feel like he is completely in my corner for what I want to accomplish and I look forward to my first show with Dave! Don't keep thinking about! Go for it. His plan works.

It's my pleasure to share my story and give credit, where credit is due-to Dave Liberman.
I've been a league Singles tennis player for over 25 years. Tennis still is a passion of mine-with some adjustments. The year I turned 50, I tore my ACL and my mother died.
I was at a loss and at a turning point. I decided to have the ACL repaired and do whatever it took to come back to the courts. Many know the rehab is 9 months long and you can't ask this girl to sit on the bench for long. I made a choice to strengthen, and make lifestyle changes. I rejoined a gym, went to classes, and. I also continued a strength and conditioning program for athletes after my physical therapy was finished.
My mindset had a total readjustment. I took up CrossFit and was lifting weights and scorching Metcons. Little did I know, my knees were to continue to be my weak point. I subsequently suffered lateral meniscus tears in both knees and developed a bone growth in the notch where the grafted ACL now lives. 4 knee surgeries put me in my place. I never gave up, I never succumbed to a defeatist outlook, nor listened to naysayers, or succumbed to the middle-aged spread.
The combination of tennis and lifting heavy took its toll on me. I now respect my body and joint age. I have modified my CrossFit and now play doubles tennis. I am grateful to be able to continue my vibrant and active lifestyle.
While recovering from my last knee surgery, a friend suggested I try Figure Competing. It took me a couple of months contemplating the idea, lots of research, and wrapping my head around being a Glambot on stage in a sparkly bikini in crystal high heels and stage makeup. For a fire-breathing, tee-shirt and cutoffs girl, I would need to channel my glamorous side.
This is where Dave Liberman enters the stage. If I was going to explore competing, I wanted to work with the best in the area. Dave has it all, the bodybuilding experience, years of training competitors, and a Contest Promoter to-boot. There is no sugar coating, promises, or "fashionable" diet plans. He is the real deal. Dave has taught me everything I need to know about the competitive fitness and physique arena.
He has given me his best advice, trained me, taught me posing, kept me accountable, and guided me into my new fitness challenge-Figure Competing.
I first stepped on stage one month before my 56th. birthday! I can't begin to express the surge of confidence and thrill it has been to have won my class contests as well as 1st runner-up in another making my trophy collection quite extensive! (See contest titles below) I placed extremely well against beautifully fit women half my age. Dave has brought out that confidence, reinforced my inner-drive, and trained me to be a winner.
From the experience of training with Dave and immersing myself in a new fitness passion-Figure Competing, I have opened up a whole new world of friends and acquaintances all over the world. Some say I inspire them. Heck, I'm just living life and keeping fit with a big smile. Thanks Dave Liberman and I highky recommend to any and all who are seeking self improvement!

I started Dave's nutrition and work out plan that he had designed for my needs 3 months ago. At 3 months today I am down over 30 pounds, looking shaped/toned and feeling extremely healthy! I do not have one negative comment about Dave and neither will you if you choice to train with him. He brings positivity and motivation to the table. What's best is that he makes you feel as if you were his only client. Dave will put 110% of his focus into you. I am still continuing putting my works into Dave's hands as I prep for my first upcoming NPC bikini show. Dave is truly inspiring and can help ANYONE reach their fitness goals. I'm telling you, he is the best! I am very happy with my results and cannot wait to continue Dave's nutrition/work out plan as well as one-on-one gym training and posing sessions with Dave.

I am a 45 year old woman and a long distance runner. After a couple of running setbacks, I made a decision to start a different training program to build muscle, tone up, and get stronger. I looked up Dave Liberman who is the most experienced trainer for bodybuilding in the Cleveland area.
I contacted Dave in April 2015 to discuss bodybuilding and his services. He responded to my email immediately and answered all of my questions. He was professional and very knowledgeable, and that was why I decided to hire him.
Dave's nutrition plan and weight lifting program were quite amazing. I started making progress in two weeks! I continued to make even more progress, and then Dave and I decided that I should compete in the NPC Natural Northern bikini competition in October 2015. It was a very fun and exciting experience!
Dave is very enthusiastic and he will keep you motivated. He will encourage you and he wants you to be successful. During my contest prep, Dave always answered my questions through email or phone calls. I knew I could expect a quick and timely answer from him. Training for a contest is challenging, but Dave will help you and guide you through the entire process. Whatever your goal is, Dave can get you there!
I recommend Dave Liberman for anyone who wants to lose weight, compete, build muscle, or get in great shape. He really knows what he is doing!
I have had several personal trainers from other gyms in the area, but none of them compare to Dave. He is really good! I'm so happy I contacted him, and I am going to continue to keep training with him!

Shelby Lyons
My name is Shelby Lyons and I am 24 years old. I decided to compete at the NPC NATURAL OHIO CHAMPIONSHIPS on March 28th last November. I trained for around 16 weeks to prepare for my competition. When looking for a coach, my friend Allison suggested Dave Liberman. Choosing Dave as my coach was the best decision I have ever made. Dave is an inspiration to many and I owe him everything. From my physical process to my developing my self esteem, he was there for me every step of the way. My success was due to his quick response time, in depth weight training and diet plan. I lost 25 pounds and gained more muscle then my body has ever had. I placed 7th out of 21 beautiful women at my very first show in the Class D Bikini division. The goal for me was finally feeling comfortable in my own skin and I definitely accomplished that with Dave's help. I am now in my off season and training to make my second debut at the NPC Natural Northern USA CHAMPIONSHIPS on October 10th. Dave is an amazing coach and I would recommend him to anyone. I cannot thank him enough for my success. - Shelby Lyons 2015 NPC NATURAL NORTHERN USA CHAMPIONSHIPS OPEN 4th Place BIKINI CLASS D |

I had been debating for the past five years or so on doing a bikini competition. I turned 30 and decided it's now or never. I had made the decision to do the Dave Liberman's NPC Natural Northern USA Championships with a close family member. A friend referred me to check out www.daveliberman.com and look into his training program. It really appealed to me with having a hectic work schedule and being pretty comfortable on my own in the gym. I sent an e-mail to him through his website and within 5 minutes I had a response from Dave with detailed information on his programs and not only that but extremely helpful information on the show and upcoming posing clinics. I was blown away with his immediate responses and detailed information.
Dave was able to set me up on a workout program that completely confused my muscles and gave me amazing results quickly. He paired my workout plan with a diet plan and supplement/vitamin list that would be best suitable to get me where I needed to be in 10 weeks, along with my peak week plan included. With already being 2 weeks late getting started I was nervous until I started seeing results within 2.5 weeks, AMAZING! Anytime I had a question or concern I would receive a response in less than 10 min. I know how busy Dave must be with his upcoming shows and other clients but he always made time for me as a client and that was so helpful and appreciated! I would recommend Dave Liberman's online and/or hand's-on training to anyone hands down!
Stepping on stage I felt better than I ever have about my physique and very confident in myself. I was first call outs and 2nd place in my class, which qualifies me to compete nationally for my IFBB Pro card! I couldn't be more excited or proud. Dave helped me reached my potential. Look out for me, many more shows to come!

I originally was introduced to weight training in the 8th grade when I injured my shoulder carrying an "at my side" book bag every day for months. The months added up to me slowly stretching and tearing all the ligaments and tendons in my left shoulder. My only two options were surgery or physical therapy to try and strengthen and shorten the damaged areas. It was from this injury that my gym life began. My physical therapy was a very long time ago, but I still remember it and look back on it being my start. It was a standard shoulder workout, and involved a lot of deltoid work and some light presses. It also included lot of band work and focused on shoulder movement. After that, I moved on to wrestling and other combat sports that involved dramatic hard weight cuts and limited my food intake. I loved the gym during all the years and always looked forward to my training sessions.
After the years of wrestling, MMA, and then finally thinking about bodybuilding, I came to my future trainer, Dave Liberman at 140 lbs of "okay" shape. I was decent and knew my way around a weight room, and had years under my belt for training, but I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to walk on the Lakewood Civic Auditorium's stage at the prestigious 2015 NPC Natural Ohio (open) Championships & Expo, and compete in my first Men’s Physique contest. I looked at a few trainers and even had another one in mind, but to be honest, but Dave Liberman's pure love for the sport of Bodybuilding/Physique cannot be matched or underrated. From the very first email I sent him, Dave wanted me to win and was in my corner 100%. The passion that he has for all his clients is hard to explain. If you want to do well, and want to win, he will absolutely be with you and match your drive with enthusiasm. A lot of people rave about the workouts or diet plans they get, but with Dave, you get all of that and then you get the added bonus of posing, presentation and all aspects of competition...in other words, he truly cares. Dave was there for me every step of the way. Trust me, if you want that trophy, he wants it for you also! That is a very underrated quality in a trainer but should be acknowledged.
It was only a few days after our conversation that I met with Dave and started my contest diet the next day. That was 11 weeks before the Lakewood show. In a mere 11 weeks he took me from a soft 140 lbs all the way down to a hard, dry competition ready look at 123 lbs on stage. It was my first competition and I only had Dave for a couple months, but we took 3rd at that show against some very tough competition. The man deserves all the credit in the world, being that I did not bring him much to work with. At 5’5 and 140 lbs he had limited material but we did it. A short time after that, we did the NPC Mid Atlantic Cup in Pittsburgh, and I walked away with, 1st place Novice & 1st place Men's Open Physique! The following week we took on the NPC North Coast Championships where I took 3rd Open Men's Physique once again. In all three NPC competitions, I qualified to compete nationally!! I was completely satisfied with all my placing's and fully believe Dave brought me to my best shape.
It was at my last contest where we agreed on my weak areas, after which Dave constructed an extreme off-season plan to build more muscle and focus on the areas that need it the most. Next year, we have big plans and I will definitely be coming back with a totally new look! My excitement grows every day because I know I am one day closer to my dream. I highly recommend Dave Liberman to any and all future competitors. He will absolutely help you and be happy to do it! As I mentioned before, he wants you to do well and he honestly cares about you, your health, happiness and the outcome of the show.

I originally was introduced to weight training in the 8th grade when I injured my shoulder carrying an "at my side" book bag every day for months. The months added up to me slowly stretching and tearing all the ligaments and tendons in my left shoulder. My only two options were surgery or physical therapy to try and strengthen and shorten the damaged areas. It was from this injury that my gym life began. My physical therapy was a very long time ago, but I still remember it and look back on it being my start. It was a standard shoulder workout, and involved a lot of deltoid work and some light presses. It also included lot of band work and focused on shoulder movement. After that, I moved on to wrestling and other combat sports that involved dramatic hard weight cuts and limited my food intake. I loved the gym during all the years and always looked forward to my training sessions.
After the years of wrestling, MMA, and then finally thinking about bodybuilding, I came to my future trainer, Dave Liberman at 140 lbs of "okay" shape. I was decent and knew my way around a weight room, and had years under my belt for training, but I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to walk on the Lakewood Civic Auditorium's stage at the prestigious 2015 NPC Natural Ohio (open) Championships & Expo, and compete in my first Men’s Physique contest. I looked at a few trainers and even had another one in mind, but to be honest, but Dave Liberman's pure love for the sport of Bodybuilding/Physique cannot be matched or underrated. From the very first email I sent him, Dave wanted me to win and was in my corner 100%. The passion that he has for all his clients is hard to explain. If you want to do well, and want to win, he will absolutely be with you and match your drive with enthusiasm. A lot of people rave about the workouts or diet plans they get, but with Dave, you get all of that and then you get the added bonus of posing, presentation and all aspects of competition...in other words, he truly cares. Dave was there for me every step of the way. Trust me, if you want that trophy, he wants it for you also! That is a very underrated quality in a trainer but should be acknowledged.
It was only a few days after our conversation that I met with Dave and started my contest diet the next day. That was 11 weeks before the Lakewood show. In a mere 11 weeks he took me from a soft 140 lbs all the way down to a hard, dry competition ready look at 123 lbs on stage. It was my first competition and I only had Dave for a couple months, but we took 3rd at that show against some very tough competition. The man deserves all the credit in the world, being that I did not bring him much to work with. At 5’5 and 140 lbs he had limited material but we did it. A short time after that, we did the NPC Mid Atlantic Cup in Pittsburgh, and I walked away with, 1st place Novice & 1st place Men's Open Physique! The following week we took on the NPC North Coast Championships where I took 3rd Open Men's Physique once again. In all three NPC competitions, I qualified to compete nationally!! I was completely satisfied with all my placing's and fully believe Dave brought me to my best shape.
It was at my last contest where we agreed on my weak areas, after which Dave constructed an extreme off-season plan to build more muscle and focus on the areas that need it the most. Next year, we have big plans and I will definitely be coming back with a totally new look! My excitement grows every day because I know I am one day closer to my dream. I highly recommend Dave Liberman to any and all future competitors. He will absolutely help you and be happy to do it! As I mentioned before, he wants you to do well and he honestly cares about you, your health, happiness and the outcome of the show.

Never say anything is impossible, no matter how busy you are! You have but one chance with your health so do not take it for granted!
It is hard to believe that in less than 9 months, I was able to make an incredible transformation in both my body and mind. Prior to deciding to compete in my first Figure/Physique competition, I lacked confidence in myself and struggled with body image. It was not until after I did the Tough Mudder in August 2013 that I decided that my next challenge to myself would be to compete in a Figure/Physique competition. I knew it would be mentally, physically and emotionally challenging and I was willing to do whatever it took to overcome my fears and get on stage looking and feeling my absolute best.
I consulted with Dave and he provided me with the tools I needed to help me compete in my first show. With his advice and the help of my trainers I gained strength, confidence and the will power to keep going even when life got stressful. I am 36 years old, a mom of a 4 year old, a wife and I work and travel for a full time job. I kept on my diet and training plan and I was determined to succeed no matter what. I have NEVER been in a bikini in front of anyone in my entire life and I had the courage to step on stage in front of thousands of people and get critiqued by judges. I was in my element, I was prepared and most of all I was confident and happy with my body for the first time in my entire life. I found something I truly love and enjoy and I plan on continuing my journey and competing in more shows.
I lost over 20 lbs of fat, gained 6lbs of muscle and lost 12 inches overall following Dave’s nutrition and training plan to get ready for this competition! Lifting heavy weights and being in the gym is my home away from home. I guess you could say I am addicted to working out and I find new challenges with weight lifting every time I walk into the gym.
I am finally happy in my own skin and feel beautiful on the inside and the outside. My family, friends, trainers and my coach Dave supported and motivated me through this process . I was disciplined, determined but I could not have done it without the successful training and nutrition plans that Dave provided. He also helped me with my physique posing and routine and I am so happy with the results.
My first show was the NPC Natural Ohio and I entered 4 categories (Physique Open, Physique Masters, Figure Open, Masters Figure) and I placed in all 4 categories that I entered!
Dave truly has a passion for his career and this industry and provides honest feedback to help his clients improve. I encourage anyone that wants to change their body for the better and feel better about themselves to contact Dave to train you.
You will definitely see results as long as you TRUST the PROCESS and are willing to be dedicated and determined. I am HOOKED to this sport and I cannot wait to see where my journey takes me next.
Thank you Dave for all your support, guidance, honesty and patience. I could not have gotten on that stage without you!
If you can believe it, you can achieve it!

We would like to thank Dave for taking us on as clients. My sisters and I decided to compete in the NPC All Natural Ohio in March. We met at Dave in mid January just 10 weeks before the show. Prior to meeting him we had some unfortunate luck with a previous trainer, and were nowhere near the shape we wanted to be in.
Dave believed in us and said we could do it. With his guidance of the proper diet and workouts, we were able to achieve what we never thought possible in only ten weeks!!!
Dave, thank you again for believing in us and not letting us give up. Even during the rough times, you were supportive, and not only just our trainer but a friend as well. You said it wasn't about "winning" but being in the best shape of our lives... And you were right!!!

I can't say enough great things about Dave Liberman and his expertise. He is truly a wealth of knowledge when it comes to everything pertaining to bodybuilding. His prices are extremely reasonable and worth every penny. I would recommend Dave to anyone who wants to get into the best shape of their life.
Dave's custom weightlifting and nutrition plans were perfect. He recommended foods that are delicious, easy to prepare, and easy to find at the store. His workout routine hits every muscle and will give you pump that you will get addicted to. In fact, I strongly believe I will be continuing both plans long after I stop competing.
I've lifted weights for over ten years in preparation for wrestling, football, rugby, and track & field. I thought I knew enough about nutrition and lifting to compete, but after having a little doubt, I found Dave's website and decided it was worth the money. Competing without Dave's advice would have been a tragic mistake. You never know what you don't know until you open your mind to new things.
Dave thoroughly answered all my questions and would respond to my emails within hours. My wife hired another consultant from a well known team, but often felt ignored. Dave will make you feel like you're his only client.
I started off at 165 lbs and expected to compete at 154 lbs. In only seven weeks, without a conscious effort to lose weight, I lost 20 lbs I didn't even know I was carrying around, and so competing at 143 lbs was obvious. My body fat dropped and my waist diminished, but to my amazement, my arm, legs and chest grew. I competed in August and placed 1st. The whole experience was once in a lifetime. Do yourself a favor, and hire Dave Liberman, you won't regret it. Hire him for yourself, your spouse, your friends, your siblings or your parents. Hire him even if you don't want to compete; it's knowledge you will use for the rest of your life.

Last year I competed at NPC Natural Northern USA Championships for the first time and took fourth. However, I felt with the proper guidance I could do better than what I did then. Working with Dave showed me just that. Dave’s nutrition guide and posing helped me target areas in which I struggled in and helped my confidence on stage. Dave is a great coach and would recommend him to any one who is looking to improve their nutrition and posing. Thanks to Dave’s guidance I was able to take 2nd place at the NPC NATURAL NORTHERN USA CHAMPIONSHIPS.

I could not ask for a better coach than Dave! I began lifting weights after the birth of my second child in May 2011. In my quest to get my body back I discovered a serious love of weight lifting. I decided to set a goal for myself and made the choice to compete on March 31st, 2012 at the NPC Natural Northern.
Dave took me on as an email client a mere 10 weeks before my first show and completely transformed my physique! His training schedule challenged me in new ways. The nutrition plan he developed for me was not only detailed, but highly effective! During peak week I knew exactly what to do because of his comprehensive plan. There was no guesswork. I followed what he mapped out for me and I looked stage ready!!
I was lucky enough to be able to do posing practice with Dave in person and it was AWESOME! His attention to detail during practice is not only entertaining, but it really prepares you for being on that stage!
I am now in a bulking phase and am blown away by the growth I have seen while staying rather lean. Dave’s off season nutrition and training schedule is helping me to achieve my goal physique.
Even though I am an email client, I have ALWAYS felt like I was a genuine priority to Dave. He has answered all of my questions with sincere honesty and in an incredibly timely fashion. His passion for the sport is evident in all that he does. I look forward to many more seasons with Dave!
Sincerely,

Joe Lewandowski
My name is Joe Lewandowski and I am 23 years old. I have always had a true passion for working out and I knew after retiring from baseball that I wanted to compete in a bodybuilding competition. After finally committing to doing a show, I hired Dave Liberman to take my physique to the next level. I used Dave’s workout and nutrition programs to help me win the Men’s Physique Overall at the 2013 NPC Natural Eastern USA Championships and place 1st in my class at the 2013 NPC Natural Ohio. Without Dave’s guidance through my first competition season I would have never been able to accomplish my goal of taking first place at a competition.
Working with Dave has been an unforgettable experience. Not only did I learn a lot about lifting and nutrition, but I also learned a great deal about many other aspects that are important in life. Dave was able to motivate me and show me that hard work and discipline really do pay off, no matter what you are doing. His experience and knowledge about what it takes to better improve yourself is truly unique. Along with that, Dave’s passion and commitment to his clients is incredible. Dave was always there for any questions I had and he truly makes his clients a top priority.
I would highly recommend Dave Liberman to anyone that is committed to making a change in his or her life. Whether you are looking to compete or you just want to get in shape, Dave’s expertise can help you achieve your goals. Thank you Dave for all of your knowledge and support during my first contest season! I could not have done it without you!

From childhood and through most of my adult life, being overweight was never an issue. I was never an athlete and was always reminded of how I was “too skinny”. My weight did not become an issue until my mid to late 20’s when I began putting on weight slowly over the years. I reached my breaking point in the mid 2000’s when I weighed in at approximately 170 lbs. In 2009, I joined a gym and was able to successfully get down to 135 lbs. However, because I lost the weight through an intense cardio program, my body had no shape. I was… skinny again. I wanted the “fit” look”. Therefore, I began “playing around” with weights, but I got little results. One day, I was approached about entering a bodybuilding contest. I knew I wasn’t physically in shape to do so, but decided to attend the show that is hosted by Dave Liberman in Lakewood, Ohio to see what it was all about. I was amazed!!!! I immediately decided to set a goal to enter this competition. The most important reason to enter the competition was not necessarily to compete, but instead, this would serve as an avenue to finally obtain the body I desired. After many months of research, I decided to hire a personal trainer… none other than Dave Liberman. Training with Dave has been the most educating and gratifying experience. He is a very passionate and professional trainer, and very knowledgeable of his craft. I have learned so much about living a healthy lifestyle from Dave, and the most rewarding experience has been watching my body transform. In the process, I have developed a passion for bodybuilding. Not only do I look great, but I am living a healthy lifestyle and my confidence has greatly increased. Dave is amongst the top-ranked trainers, and I am glad I chose him to help me reach my fitness goals.

Words cannot express how grateful and blessed I am to be not only one of Dave's clients, but to have him as my boyfriend and best friend as well. The best part of having Dave as a trainer, is that Dave can truly relate to the entire experience of being a competitor, as he is an extremely successful former national level competitor himself. He has "been there, done that", and certainly can relate to all aspects, whether it be dieting, training, and/or posing. This is definitely an asset and a benefit to have for anyone who wishes to compete.
Dave truly has a passion for his career and this industry, and it is clearly seen in the efforts he puts forth, along with the outcomes, of his two spectacular shows in Ohio (the BEST NPC shows, and I am not even being biased), as well as in the results of all of his clients. Dave truly goes over and beyond in all that he does!
Through Dave's motivation, inspiration, encouragement, and support, he has successfully and significantly helped me in many ways, physically and emotionally, to achieve the following titles...
2001 NPC Natural Northern USA Lightweight Bodybuilding; 1st Place & Overall Title
2005 NPC Natural Great Lakes Figure Championships; 1st Place Short Class
2006 NPC Junior California Figure; 2nd Place Medium Class
2006 NPC Natural Grand Prix Figure Championships; 1st Place Short Class & Overall Title
Dave has a natural ability and "down-to-earth" personality to ensure a positive experience for anybody, no matter what their goals may be. See for yourself...no matter what your age may be, no matter what your goals, (even if your desire is not to compete, but perhaps you just want to lose weight, or need inspiration), Dave is the #1 trainer to contact. With just one visit with him, you WILL be hooked from his motivation and expertise!

Kathy McKenna
My name is Kathy McKenna and I'm a mother of 4 and I'm 54 years old! After training for competitive bodybuilding competitions for 2 1/2 years using the HIT method of training I felt I had hit a road block and wanted to check out another type of training method. I was only familiar with lifting one set to failure,whole body training 2-3 days a week. I felt like my body needed more. I didn't know of anyone else using this method that was having good success so I wanted to see what else was out there thus I began searching for a trainer who was having success with his clients. I had been to a couple of Dave Liberman's NPC competitions as an observer and was very impressed with how good the competitors looked on stage. My goal was to one day be able to compete with confidence and improve my physique with the right kind of training. I checked out Dave's website and read the testimonials of his clients. Hmmm, I thought if he can help others to look and feel good then I was hopeful that he could possibly be the right person to train me. At this point I didn't even know if he would take me on as a client especially since I live pretty far from the gym where he trains. I met with him and we worked it out so that I could meet with him once a week. He also planned out a daily workout routine that I could do on the days I was at my gym. it has worked out very well. Dave has been extremely positive, professional and gracious to me. I love working with him. When I want to tear myself down he lifts me right back up again and makes me feel good about myself. He has helped my confidence level soar to new heights. He calls me a champ, I really appreciate that about him. he knows what it takes to help me stay positive. He is great at giving attention to detail. He felt I would be ready to compete in the physique class at his show in April. He helped me with my posing and routine for my first NPC show. I felt very confident getting up on stage. I placed 1st in my division and 2nd in the masters. I also competed in the NPC Cincinnati the following week and placed 1st in my division. I am very happy and very grateful to Dave for helping me to be a winner. I look forward to continued success having Dave as my trainer. Anyone that wants to change their body for the better and feel better about themselves I highly recommend hiring Dave to train you. You will see results in a short time if you stay committed. He knows what it takes to achieve great results.

Kathy McKenna
My name is Kathy McKenna and I'm a mother of 4 and I'm 54 years old! After training for competitive bodybuilding competitions for 2 1/2 years using the HIT method of training I felt I had hit a road block and wanted to check out another type of training method. I was only familiar with lifting one set to failure,whole body training 2-3 days a week. I felt like my body needed more. I didn't know of anyone else using this method that was having good success so I wanted to see what else was out there thus I began searching for a trainer who was having success with his clients. I had been to a couple of Dave Liberman's NPC competitions as an observer and was very impressed with how good the competitors looked on stage. My goal was to one day be able to compete with confidence and improve my physique with the right kind of training. I checked out Dave's website and read the testimonials of his clients. Hmmm, I thought if he can help others to look and feel good then I was hopeful that he could possibly be the right person to train me. At this point I didn't even know if he would take me on as a client especially since I live pretty far from the gym where he trains. I met with him and we worked it out so that I could meet with him once a week. He also planned out a daily workout routine that I could do on the days I was at my gym. it has worked out very well. Dave has been extremely positive, professional and gracious to me. I love working with him. When I want to tear myself down he lifts me right back up again and makes me feel good about myself. He has helped my confidence level soar to new heights. He calls me a champ, I really appreciate that about him. he knows what it takes to help me stay positive.

Amy Capoti
My name is Amy Caponi, I am 44 years old, and have two children. I have always tried to stay in shape over the years but I thought I would like to try to get to the next level. Living in a small town there is not a lot of higher end trainers. My husband works with someone who does bodybuilding shows and asked him where he went for training. He gave him Dave’s name. I went on his web site and couldn’t believe everything he has accomplished. I sent him an e-mail, Dave responded right back to me. After just talking with him I decided I was going to do his show in Lakewood…I only had 10 weeks to train. Living over an hour and half away I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to pull this off. I met with Dave we talked and worked out. From the moment I walked into the gym he was so positive, so professional, and so knowledgeable I knew I had made a great choice. We worked out and decided that I should enter the Physique competition. I told Dave I just want to be competitive on stage. He gave me a work out to follow, a diet and a lot of confidence. I went home and started right in. I followed EVERYTHING Dave gave me. Being completely new to physique competition I had no idea what “posing” even was. I met with Dave four times to teach me how to pose and compete. All I can say is this guy has more patience than anyone I have ever known. He was great; we practiced just like I was on the stage. After the first session of posing I felt a little more confident but by the fourth session Dave had me feeling great. He was so positive and encouraging the whole time and a lot of FUN to work with. I was finally ready to compete, like I said I just wanted to be competitive on stage. Well, I entered my very first physique competition in Pittsburgh and placed 1st I was so excited and I knew I was hooked. I entered Dave’s show in Lakewood the following week and placed 2nd in the masters and 3rd overall it was amazing. I could have not done any of this without Dave. If you follow what he says you will be successful and the best part of it you will have a blast with Dave…..He is the best and if you want the best he is the guy. Thanks Dave for all your support and patience.

I have actually become so “addicted” to working out with Dave that one year ago, at age 54 , I entered my first “Masters Figure Bodybuilding Competition” Not in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought that I would be able to compete in anything like that!! Working with Dave keeps me motivated, focused and on track.

Monica Labriola
Ever since I can remember, I have admired the bodies of both male and female competitors. I was given for my 8th birthday, my very own set of pink weights. If memory serves me correct, it was set for young girls called “Get in Shape Girl”. I exercised religiously and as seriously as any eight-year-old girl would. I was always active. However, not very good at conventional sports; volleyball, softball, basketball were not for me.
At age fifteen, I lived abroad for one year in Venezuela; which is also my birth country. I moved to the United States at age five, with my mother. (Later in my story I will explain how my birthplace is significant.)
During that year, I paired up with my aunt who is only a few years older than me. Ironically enough she also shared the same passion for Bodybuilding! She had all the books and magazines. I recall devouring them and wanting to look like the female athletes depicted. I can still recall the excitement that would overcome me every time I looked at a magazine saying to myself “one day I will look like that!” Needless to say, my aunt and I would train like freaks. I will never forget, during one of our morning cardio sessions we were nearly mugged. However, that didn’t stop us! Every morning we still went out for runs!
As luck would have it, for my sweet sixteen, my mother bought me a gym membership to Bally’s in New York, where I grew up. I wanted to train at a Powerhouse Gym! Therefore, I got a job as a receptionist there so I could get a free membership. I felt terrible that my mother had spent so much money on a lifelong membership to a gym that wasn’t for me and I dare not ask her for a membership anywhere else. Well, while working at the Power House in Bay Shore, NY, I met IFBB Pro Ron Love. I will never forget the day I met him; what a kind man. We are now Facebook friends and I have shared with him how on that day he made an impact on me, the young girl behind the reception desk; After all, he was there for all the male body builders. Fast-forward a few years…School, marriage, and children. I have given birth to five boys all close in age. My pregnancies were high risk. I was bedridden with four and hospitalized with one. Needless to say, I was now in the worse shape of my life! I was tired all the time. I didn’t recognize myself and who I had become. I didn’t even feel like myself anymore. That was a turning point; I remember I could barely jog for even two-minute intervals. Slowly, I would increase my intervals and before I knew it I was running races! Still trying to overcome my insecurities, I didn’t feel comfortable joining a gym! Not to mention, I had five little guys running around. I could only train for brief periods at a time. It was more like finish a set and tend to one of my babies. Looking back, I don’t know how I did it. Slowly I noticed my body improving. Monica was coming back!
As my kids were a little older, I could block out time for my training. I was feeling and looking good! Life was great! So I thought, beautiful family, career, home etc. also training.
I then started training with a partner at a local gym. It was a small hole in the wall hard-core place. My partner (Dr. Mark Grubb) and I would push each other to the brink; having someone who cares and wants you to succeed is a tremendous plus.
In 2008, I will never forget. My middle son, Joshua Alexander at age eight was diagnosed with brain cancer, Brain Stem Glioma to be exact. Needless to say life came to a standstill; I became his primary caregiver, my son required 24 hour round the clock care. I am a realist; I knew his time was limited. Therefore, I wanted to spend every moment I possibly could with him. Training came to a halt. Eating habits, what eating? Who could eat or sleep at a time like this. My exercise had become carrying him to the restroom, dressing him and loading him in the car to take him for his daily radiation treatments. December 14, 2008 my son passed (May he rest in peace). I was numb for a while. That was the most difficult Christmas for my family and I. However, Christmas was after all, Joshua’s favorite holiday and I would not allow it to pass without celebrating, not just for Josh, but also for my other four loving boys. I also realized that I couldn’t shut down, I had to keep going; I had to stay strong for my other children. I was at a fork in the road.
I could either give into to my grief, depression and sadness or I could go back to what has always brought me happiness, inner peace and joy…. hitting the weights! I remember texting my training partner, Mark. I’m back, I want to start working out with you again. He expressed that he was happy to hear that his little dynamo was back. We started the long road back, pushing and encouraging each other. Progress was made. Unfortunately, the hole in the wall gym was sold to the Post Office and became a parking lot.
We started training at the Wellness Center in Akron, Ohio. It was there that I met Danna and Maureen, two local figure competitors. In the fall of 2011, they suggested that I look into competing.
So I naively signed up for the David Liberman’s 2012 NPC Natural Ohio (open) Drug Tested Championships not knowing the magnitude of such a show. I realized that I needed additional expertise. I hired a local personal trainer, John Schaller. His expertise is in exercise physiology. He pushed me beyond my limits. However, to compete I realized I needed someone with knowledge, insight, nutrition, preparation, posing, and the mental aspect of competition. I wanted the best so I e- mailed Dave Liberman himself, not knowing if he would take me on. It was a shot in the dark. Much to my surprise, he responded in a timely manner. I was overcome with emotion as he agreed to meet with me. I had tears in my eyes.
I drove an hour (each way) from Akron to Mentor to meet with Dave at his training base, Titans Gym. He looked me over and thought I had potential. That was late January. From that point on we would meet every Wednesday for training and posing.
In early March, Dave suggested I do a warm up competition in Cincinnati, the 72nd NPC Cincinnati Natural Championships. Nervously I entered the competition in the Pure Novice category, to my surprise I won that class and advanced to open category. To my delight I won the Overall Figure. Continuing to train with Dave with our sights set for his prestigious NPC 2012 Natural Ohio Championships at the end of March.
On that day I won Women’s Figure Class A, Masters Women’s figure 35-39, Overall Masters Champion, and Overall Women’s Figure Champion. Winning Dave’s show was a national qualifying event. We proceeded to train for Master’s National. However, Dave threw me a curveball once again. He suggested that I enter Lonnie Teper’s 2012 NPC West Coast Classic in Los Angeles. Excitedly we flew out to Los Angeles, California and was awarded first place Women’s Figure Class A, Women’s Figure Master Overall, and Women’s Figure Overall .
We then refocused out sights on the NPC Team Universe and NPC Master Nationals, only to hit a wall; which takes us back to the beginning of my story. I mentioned that I was born in Venezuela; I am not a US citizen, though I have applied and eagerly awaiting such honor. When I become a US citizen I can compete in a NPC national competitions, which are IFBB Pro-Qualifying events. Our goal is for me to earn my IFBB pro card.
My story continues ….I couldn’t have achieved this success without my friend and coach, David Liberman he is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and a realist. I could not ask for a better trainer. He most certainly gives his clients 100% and then some. I am truly grateful to have hired Dave Liberman. It has been an honor to work with him.
I cannot emphasize enough just how much knowledge, love, appreciation and dedication he has for this sport. Those of us who know/train with him are truly fortunate as he is one of a kind!

I began lifting in January of 2006, after an 80 pound weight loss and a catastrophic illness nearly took my life. Dave Liberman took me on, even though I was on the recovery. He showed me how to lift, diet and helped me grow in a healthy way. With his help I was able to prepare and compete successfully in April of 2006 in figure. Now I'm hooked on fitness and I'm in training for my first body building competition, due in April of 2007.
Thanks Dave!!!

Dave Liberman is by far the most inspirational person I’ve ever met. I've been working with Dave for two years now, and not only have I seen phenomenal changes in my body since I’ve started training with him, but I have regained all the confidence I lost when training with other trainers.

I used Dave's carb loading and water depletion program to win my three most prestigious titles:
The 1999 Mr. Pittsburgh
2000 Jr. Nationals
2006 Heavyweight class at the I.F.B.B North America
This depletion program is the BEST. It never fails me.

AJ Chasko
My situation was as follows. I made the decision to compete in my first bodybuilding competition with one primary goal in mind, to enter the competition in the best shape of my life. In order to do so, I was lacking one primary factor that was empirical to reaching this goal, guidance. I have been an avid exercise enthusiast for many years; however, in order to reach my goal, I needed to supplement my knowledge with direction and experience from a credible source. For that, I turned to Dave Liberman.

Although I had been training regularly, it was 20 years since my last bodybuilding competition when I first met Dave Liberman in February 2005 for a consultation. The purpose of our meeting was to determine whether he could get me into competitive shape again. He not only helped me get into the best shape of my life but he also showed me a pathway to living a successful natural bodybuilding lifestyle.

My name is Rob Verdi from Madison, Ohio. Although I had never been to a bodybuilding competition before, it was strongly weighing on my mind to enter the March 31st, 2007 NPC NATURAL OHIO (open) DRUG TESTED BODYBUILDING & FIGURE CHAMPIONSHIPS. I approached Dave Liberman just before the new year to find out if March 31st was a realistic goal. After meeting with Dave I knew I was heading in the right direction, he gave me the confidence that I needed. He then helped me prepare for 3 months with my training, dieting, and posing. Dave always made himself available to answer any of my questions, helped push me to do my best, and was a very positive trainer. I took 2nd place in the welterweight class. It was the greatest experience of my life. The discipline,that is necessary for the bodybuilding lifestyle,is something that one can carry into all aspects of life. I will forever be grateful for everything Dave has done for me. Thankyou!

Gina Pezzenti
I hired professional trainer Dave Liberman because of his extensive experience as a personal trainer and former top NPC national competitor. I decided to compete in my first NPC contest and was extremely happy with the results. I placed 4th in class A (up to and including 5`2") height division of the 2007 NPC Natural Ohio Drug Tested Figure Championships in March 31st. I was so happy to make the top 5 in one of the best regional NPC competitions in the Midwest that, with Dave's encouragement, a few weeks later, I went on to place 1st runner up in the short class of the 2007 NPC Cincinnati Figure Championships. Dave guided me through the entire contest preparation process by supplying me with a winning workout routine, pre contest nutrition program and posing.
Whatever your fitness goals are, Dave Liberman is the trainer that can help make your dreams into a reality. I've seen many so-called "personal trainers" but nothing compares to Dave's programs. He is simply the best and I highly recommend him.

I was so happy to make the top 5 in one of the best regional NPC competitions in the Midwest that, with Dave's encouragement, a few weeks later, I went on to place 1st runner up in the short class of the 2007 NPC Cincinnati Figure Championships. Dave guided me through the entire contest preparation process by supplying me with a winning workout routine, pre contest nutrition program and posing.
Whatever your fitness goals are, Dave Liberman is the trainer that can help make your dreams into a reality. I've seen many so-called "personal trainers" but nothing compares to Dave's programs. He is simply the best and I highly recommend him.

Just touching base. Wanted to let you know I had a blast. It was the best time I had in years and I am hooked. I was so excited at the show and couldn't stop smiling for most of the week. Made alot of new friends. Last count I think I had 21 supporters show up which is not bad since my mother and most my family couldn't make it due to her surgery. Thanks for everything you've done. I wouldn't have gotten there without you.

I have always loved working out but had lost my motivation. I had not set any goals for my physical health and even though I was working-out 5 days a week I had nothing to show for it, I was overweight and not getting anywhere. I went to watch the NPC Natural Ohio Bodybuilding and Figure Championships in Lakewood, Ohio and was very impressed with the competitors and amount of time and dedication that it must have taken them to get into the physical shape needed to compete in this type of show. It was then I decided that “I could do that!”
I spoke with several trainers but did not feel that they had the experience or showed the dedication to their clients that Dave Liberman does. Dave has helped me do more than I ever thought was possible. Within six months, I lost 30 pounds, went from a size 10 to a size 2, competed in my first Figure Competition and won 2nd place in my height class!
Before training with Dave, I was embarrassed to be seen in a bikini, let alone stand on stage and pose in front of several hundred people. Now I am not just healthier, feel better, and look better, but my self-esteem and my outlook on life has improved!
With Dave’s 15 session package, not only did he custom design a personal muscle toning and nutrition program for me, he also helped me reached my goal of competing in a figure competition and instructed me on competition preparation and proper posing techniques.
With Dave Liberman’s training and motivation, I can honestly say that I am in the best shape of my life and am looking forward to competing in and winning more figure competitions in the future!

Whether you want to be a competitor or simply want to tone-up and/or lose body fat, stop fooling around and hire Dave. After just 6 months training with Dave, I improved my placing from 6th to 1st runner up in class "D" of the April 5th, 2008, NPC Natural Ohio Figure Championships (the largest NPC regional event in Ohio!). I competed with more muscle and less body fat than I ever could have accomplished on my own. I couldn't believe all the results I was seeing! Dave is an expert in all aspects of competing – training, dieting, depleting, tanning, posing – you name it. He'll design a professional fitness program to help you achieve whatever fitness goals you aspire to. Dave is real, friendly and personable, unlike some other big-name trainers I've met.
If you are not a competitor and simply want to lose fat and get in shape, Dave will know exactly where you should put your time and energy for the best results – there is no reason to waste effort on what doesn't work.

After meeting with Dave Liberman just once, convinced me that he was the exact trainer I was looking for to help me achieve my ultimate goal of competing in my first bodybuilding competition.
Dave designed the perfect training and nutrition program, along with my posing routine, that allowed me to explore my potential to do what most competitors take years to do...WIN the OVERALL in the 2008 NPC Natural Ohio (open) Drug Tested Bodybuilding & Figure Championships (along with placing 1st in the ultra tough OPEN Light-Heavyweight class) at my very first contest!
Dave being a former Mr. Ohio champion (along with many, many other Overall bodybuilding titles he has won), being featured in all the major bodybuilding magazines and seeing him on ESPN, I felt even more confident in Dave's programs knowing he has "been there and done that." Working with Mr. Liberman was a sincere pleasure and at 45 years old, I was shocked at results I received from his programs.
I look forward to continuing my competitive bodybuilding career and I couldn't hope for a better person than Dave to work with. If you want to compete or simply get in better shape, look no farther, Dave Liberman is the man for you!

Jeff Curtis
My name is Jeff Curtis and I am the 2008 NPC Natural Great Lakes Lightweight Champion and the 2008 NPC Natural Michigan Lightweight Champion. I also placed 4th in the 2008 NPC Natural Northern USA Lightweight Division. I was personally trained for all of these shows by Dave Liberman. Before hooking up with Dave, I had never won a show before and surely was not reaching my full potential. Dave showed me how to train properly and how to effectively incorporate cardio into my program. He certainly knows the correct way to train and what foods to eat to help anyone reach their all-time best.
What I learned from Dave was the correct movements to perform, to use super sets and drop sets to increase the intensity of a workout and what foods to eat to really build muscle. Without Dave's help, I certainly never would have won the shows that I did or placed highly in the NNUSA. But, what is more important for you to realize is that what Dave did for me he can do for you too. Dave is an experienced competitor and knows the ins and outs of training and nutrition. He also is a great poser and my posing improved substantially with his help.
I cannot urge you enough to hire Dave and let him assist you like he has me. It doesn't matter whether you are a competitor or not, he will help you reach your all-time best condition and show you how to eat, train and pose properly. All I can say is either call Dave or e-mail him and let your improvement begin! Thanks Dave for helping me win two tough NPC shows, reach my all-time best condition and increasing my knowledge many times over. Please look at the before and after photos and see for yourself how much improvement I have made! Dave did it for me and he will do it for you too! Call or e-mail him and let your odyssey begin.

After training with several personal trainers throughout the city, I was extremely happy to have found Dave Liberman to be exactly what I was looking for. Since training with Dave, I have made progress in three months that far surpassed the past three years I've been working out. I only wish I would have found him sooner. He is truly a "diamond in the rough." I'm 48 years old and have never looked better in my entire life. I receive compliments both in and out of the gym and I couldn't be more thrilled with my results! I look forward to competing in my first NPC figure competition and regardless of where I place, I'm confident I will look my best with Dave guiding me through my first competitive experience. My highest recommendations to anyone who really desires the results they want to achieve with whatever fitness goals they have. Trust me when I tell you, you don't need to look any farther, this is the person you need to hire!

Back in October (October 17th to be exact) I couldn't sleep. It was 4 a.m. There was one thing on my mind and that was my constant battle with....dunh dunh dunh.....my weight! It had been bothering me for some time that after my mom had passed in April of 2008 I progressively put on around 40 pounds. I knew I needed to do something. I had been active and in shape in the past as a competitive baton twirler and working out at the gym. I didn't want to "suffer" anymore inside a body that didn't reflect my positive attitude and personality. I felt trapped. Yo-yo dieting was typical as were diet pills, but they even proved ineffective with the weight gain. After a visit with my family doctor in early October, I was told that I was borderline diabetic. Both of my parents are diabetic, as well as many of my family members. So...I knew at 26, I shouldn't be worrying about diabetes...I should be worrying about what color my bikini is going to be for the summer...
It must have been 4:30 a.m. when I emailed Dave Liberman (www.daveliberman.com) ... I found him by just searching personal trainers in Cleveland, Ohio, and he was the first one that came up...(Must have been fate) He called me back literally within 24 hours after emailing him. I explained in my email that I needed his help to get back into shape. After our phone conversation, he met with me the very next day. After talking for an hour, listening to his story and his philosophy on how he trains his clients, I was hooked and knew Dave as a trainer is what I needed. I needed a nutrition plan (which he provided) and a fool-proof workout regiment.
So, on October 20, 2009 I embarked on my journey to get my "21-year old" body back....and I wanted to do it by....my 27th birthday, March 11th! I set my goal to lose 50 lbs. Within the first month, I was down 12.4 lbs. Month 2 gave a 7.6 lb loss. Three months training with Dave, down another 5.5 lbs... Here I am, four months later and now 27 pounds thinner. I am stronger than I've ever been. Lifting 5 days a week, cardio for an hour 7 days a week and "clean" eating has made me realize I control my body, how I want it to look, how I want to feel about my body. I just had to get back to basics. A healthy diet and exercise never fails, and a fabulous trainer by my side, Dave Liberman, to continue to motivate me, inspire me, and train me not only physically, but mentally.
Dave is by far the MOST inspirational and motivating person I have ever met. I recommend him highly to ANYONE who is ready not only to change their body, but change their life. Dave has told me from the beginning that as I begin to improve myself through working out, everything in my life will improve. He's right. A new job, new friends, a new body, and most importantly a new attitude and outlook....oh, can't forget about the new wardrobe!
I'm a little over half way to my goal weight. I may not lose the entire 50 pounds by my birthday BUT I know I will be at least to 75 percent of my goal weight and that's fine by me!!! I can't exactly waltz around in a bikini in March anyways, so July will work :)
I now know since training with Dave and making this lifestyle change that it is forever embedded into me. Never again will I allow myself not to show up in life on time feeling and looking my best. As long as you are committed to trying your hardest and committing to what Dave tells you to do, he will not let you fail. It takes hard work and discipline but it is not impossible!
Don't wait until tomorrow, don't wait until your next New Year's resolution, or Monday....NOW! Do it for you, not "him" or "her."
I want to inspire people. I want to motivate people. I want to help make changes in people's lives like Dave has made in mine. I want people to realize their health is so very important and you have control over your body, weight, and self perception.
Give thanks for what you are now, and keep fighting for what you want to be tomorrow. ~Fernanda Miramontes-Landeros

I wanted to thank you for guiding me through my first competition and helping me to get into the best shape of my life. It was an awesome experience and couldn't have been any happier with the results. I never expected to place as high as I did for my first show. The journey was a tough one but worth ever minute of it. The show you put on was one of the best I've ever been apart of and I hope it does nothing but grow and continue to be THE best show in the state of Ohio. Again id like to thank you for being a great asset to me throughout the past 3 months and getting me ready to be on top of my game. If I ever look to compete again I would love to work with you again. If anyone ever is looking to get into the best shape of there life's and needs guidance I will be sure to tell them to look you up if they want the best trainer around.
I’ve always been an active and very competitive person and recently I decided to compete in my first body building competition. i always have had a desire to compete but never knew the exact kind of training and diet process I would need to do to get myself in the shape i needed to be on the top of my game. I’ve had a few friends who had already competed and they had recommended I give Dave a call if i wanted to be trained by the best. So that’s exactly what I did and I’m glad I did. i met with Dave about 12 weeks before the competition and not only did he lay out a very detailed plan on what I needed to do when i came to eating but he gave me the expert guidance that only someone who themselves have competed could. Anyone can make u a diet plan and send you on your way and meet with you every couple weeks but i feel with Dave he goes the extra mile to make sure you get the outcome YOU want and more. He’s not happy with the results unless he feels you have reached your full potential. I myself am a highly competitive person and i feel that Dave’s desire to be the best himself at what he does (and he is) is the reason I was successful at my first show. i competed in the 2010 NPC Natural Ohio in the lightweight division and placed 3rd. so if your looking to compete and be in the best shape of your life or if your just looking to get healthier i would highly recommend you call Dave to get the best training and guidance you will find in Ohio.
Thank again Dave

Kimberly Conger and TJ Temper
October 19th was the day that changed our lives, it was our first meeting with Dave Liberman. After attending a bodybuilding show on October 3rd we took a good hard look at ourselves and realized it was time for a change. We wanted to get on that stage. After researching different trainers and weighing our options we decided to e-mail Dave and see what he had to offer. He called us back the very next day and we set-up our first appointment. 1:00pm, October 19th.
We drove an hour and a half and finally arrived at Titan’s Gym on the scheduled day. Dave sat down with us and gave us his honest opinion. TJ had to change his diet immediately and I had to put on some lean muscle if we wanted to compete. He told us it would not be easy and recommended we try one work-out with him first and then make our decision. He worked us hard! As we drove home that day, we both knew this long drive would become very familiar because Dave Liberman was going to train us.
We purchased a complete nutrition, training and posing program (which we both highly recommend) and began our journey. Dave had our diets to us within one day and gave us a complete work-out for each body part in the same short time. We had a lot of questions and sent Dave many e-mails, he responded to each one almost as soon as it was sent and was encouraging us every step of the way.
Here we are 6 months later stepping onto stage for the very first time! TJ has lost an incredible 50 pounds in 6 months by following Dave’s nutrition and work-out program and I have lost 6 pounds and packed on muscle I never thought was possible! Each day we find ourselves getting healthier and leaner and have now completely changed our lifestyle! Dave worked with us and made us stronger not only as individuals, but also as a couple. We cannot write enough good words or compliments about Dave not only as a trainer, but as a person as well. At the end of every single session we left feeling accomplished and motivated, he is so inspiring to be around!!
Whether you want to lose weight, pack on muscle, or just live a healthier lifestyle we strongly recommend Dave Liberman! We made an hour and a half drive (one way) just to train with him and it was honestly the best decision we have ever made. We will continue to work with Dave during the off-season and can’t wait to see what other goals we can accomplish! This journey was a tough one, but Dave made it possible! We owe our new lives and new bodies to him!

2010 NPC NATURAL OHIO BIKINI CHAMPIONSHIPS - 4th Place
October 19th was the day that changed our lives, it was our first meeting with Dave Liberman. After attending a bodybuilding show on October 3rd we took a good hard look at ourselves and realized it was time for a change. We wanted to get on that stage. After researching different trainers and weighing our options we decided to e-mail Dave and see what he had to offer. He called us back the very next day and we set-up our first appointment. 1:00pm, October 19th.
We drove an hour and a half and finally arrived at Titan’s Gym on the scheduled day. Dave sat down with us and gave us his honest opinion. TJ had to change his diet immediately and I had to put on some lean muscle if we wanted to compete. He told us it would not be easy and recommended we try one work-out with him first and then make our decision. He worked us hard! As we drove home that day, we both knew this long drive would become very familiar because Dave Liberman was going to train us.
We purchased a complete nutrition, training and posing program (which we both highly recommend) and began our journey. Dave had our diets to us within one day and gave us a complete work-out for each body part in the same short time. We had a lot of questions and sent Dave many e-mails, he responded to each one almost as soon as it was sent and was encouraging us every step of the way.
Here we are 6 months later stepping onto stage for the very first time! TJ has lost an incredible 50 pounds in 6 months by following Dave’s nutrition and work-out program and I have lost 6 pounds and packed on muscle I never thought was possible! Each day we find ourselves getting healthier and leaner and have now completely changed our lifestyle! Dave worked with us and made us stronger not only as individuals, but also as a couple. We cannot write enough good words or compliments about Dave not only as a trainer, but as a person as well. At the end of every single session we left feeling accomplished and motivated, he is so inspiring to be around!!

A personal goal and resolution I have dreamed of for years is participating in a figuree/bikini contest. After researching various contests and trainers in the Cleveland area, I decided to select Dave Liberman and participate in his spring's 2010 NPC Natural Ohio Bikini Championships. Dave will, by far, give you the biggest bang for your buck! Always highly grateful and respectful of his clients, Dave appropriately pushes his clients to fulfill their highest potential and believes in them. Training for a contest is no small challenge, but Dave takes the guesswork out of the training by answering any and all questions you may have. Dave is highly knowledgeable about nutrition, dieting, weight training, cardio, and posing. Working with a trainer who knows the ropes and has "been there, done that" allowed me to feel confident during my contest preparation. Not only is training with Dave entertaining and fun, but he will help you achieve your goals by holding you accountable! Dave is a very honest, hard-working, passionate and energetic trainer. Anytime I have called or emailed him, he immediately responds and listens to all my concerns. Dave is a superb trainer, and he also promotes the best show ever! This 2010 NPC Natural Ohio contest was the largest contest in Ohio's history (209 competitors!), and I am proud to have been a part of it! During the off-season I am continuing to work with Dave to achieve my goals....the package is worth every penny!

I am writing this to let you know my feelings about training with you this past year. In fall of 2009, I decided to find a personal trainer to take me to the next level of bodybuilding. I had never worked with a personal trainer before so when I decided I needed help, I listed the requirements that would be important to me. I considered a number of other trainers in the area, and after reviewing your resume, talking to you on the phone and meeting you personally I decided you had the qualifications I was looking for in a trainer.
As it turned out, not only did you have the diverse range of experience I was looking for but also the knowledge needed. You developed a program focused on my personal goals and you were able to transfer that knowledge to me in a positive way. You were always honest in your assessment of my training and realistic about what you thought I could accomplish. Your personal interest in my training exceeded my expectations. If it were not for your encouragement I would not have attained this year's successes. Your phone calls to check on my progress and your attendance at this year's contests were a welcome surprise. I was relaxed and confident because I knew you cared and I could rely on you for needed advice.
Thank you for providing an experience that guided me to attain my bodybuilding goals. As I have said to you a number of times "You are the best"!

Dave Liberman, 1991 Mr.Ohio, a great trainer,and a great man, helped me with my contest diet to rip me up and had faith in me. If it wasn't for Dave I would have never entered this competition.
I had never even been to a competition, although always been working on and off through my life, I had been back into working out for only about three months, I was weighing about 195 lbs, and bulky, when I met Dave, he suggested I enter the competition which was at the time only eight weeks away..
He put me on a great diet to rip me up, and it did....
I weighed in at 168 lbs... middleweight, and won 4th place out of 18 guys, for my 1st competition...
Thanks Dave..!!!

I hired Dave as my posing coach for my first bikini competition, The Natural Northern USA. I knew nothing about competing before contacting Dave. He took a lot of time to inform me of everything I needed to know to enter my first show. I loved that he always made time to answer all of my texts and phone calls. Dave is an awesome person to know. I love his enthusiasm for the sport. Hes inspiring and motivating. Dave helped me place in the top 3 at my first show. I highly recommend him! I also recommend entering in one of his shows. The Natural Northern USA was an awesome first show! Thank you Dave!

I found Dave via his website when I was looking for a competition to enter. I have never competed before so I definitely needed some help since I had no idea what I was in for. I live a few hours away from where Dave is located so I opted for his e-mail nutrition and workout plan and I drove to meet for posing sessions. Dave was very honest and extremely helpful with everything!!! I have now done two competitions and will definitely be doing more! I will for sure be hiring Dave again. I have learned so much from him through this experience. He puts on a Rockin' show too! I would definitely refer him to anyone, especially someone competing for the first time. I am officially addicted to competiting. Thanks Dave! :)

My name is Larry Farley former comedian and business owner. My journey started the day I went to see the doctor for chest pains, he diagnosed me with a heart problem and I was told to immediately start working out in case they needed to perform heart surgery, so I joined a gym. I didn't really know much about working out,so I hired a personal trainer,much to my dismay I went through three trainers before getting to where I am now,the others were inexperienced or not focused enough. I met Dave Liberman about a month before my first competition, needless to say, my diet was wrong,after comparing myself to the other competitors,I looked like I was still in the off season mode and I didn't know how to pose properly,yes! I was in a bad situation, it was too late for dave to help me with my diet but he was able to help me with my posing and dehydration,which help me to get through my first competition,of course I placed last.A month later, I started training with dave for my next show, I lost over 50lbs and he transformed me from 210lbs.to 154lbs.in 5-months. Yes,it was hard work but i had a great trainer and good friend who taught me alot.Diamond Dave Liberman got me in the best shape of my life and made me feel and look like a true bodybuilder and competitor and he helped me place 2nd place twice,3rd place,and 5th place in competitions and i had lots of fun doing it,not bad for a 54yr old.If you are serious about getting in the best shape of your life, please contact Dave Liberman you won't regret it.

My name is Angelo Francis and I am 21 years old. Dave’s training and nutrition program helped me take 1st runner-up in the 2012 NPC ALL NATURAL CINCINATTI Men’s Physique. I have always had a love for working out. My flaw was that I did not know much about nutrition, nor did I know a lot about the different ways to shock the muscles.
It was when I met Dave Liberman, I took my physique to the next level. Dave’s nutrition program and workout program worked very well for me. He would take the time out to look at my physique and adjust my nutrition program according to what he sees.
Dave’s love for personal training, shows in his clients physiques. Anyone can train someone to compete or to just have a better self-image. Dave not only preaches the lifestyle of health and fitness but he lives it as well. And that is what sets him apart from other trainers. He is a great motivator when it comes to 1 on 1 personal training. Dave also is very honest with his clients.
Not only do I think of Dave as a great trainer, I also think of him as a friend. I recommend Dave to anyone that is looking to compete or anyone that is just looking to better their image. I will continue working with Dave and plan on competing in many shows to come.
