MY STORY

The Be Here Now Method was born from one simple truth: Health is not found in extremes, quick fixes, or unsustainable routines. It is built through alignment, consistency, and a deep connection to one’s body. For over 16 years, I’ve guided people through a smarter, more holistic approach to fitness and well-being—one that integrates movement, breathwork, and habit transformation to create lasting change. My mission isn’t just to help people get stronger—it’s to help them move better, feel better, and truly thrive at every stage of life. This work is a return to balance, a path to resilience, and an invitation to reclaim the health you were always meant to have.

My Approach: Strength, Resilience & Longevity

Most people think of fitness as just lifting weights or breaking a sweat. But true health is not just about working harder—it’s about working smarter by aligning movement, breath, and mindset. That’s why I created Be Here Now Method, a system designed to help people build strength, restore balance, and develop sustainable habits that support long-term vitality.

I take an integrative approach to health and performance, blending movement science, breathwork, and habit transformation. Training should be more than just pushing through workouts—it should be about moving efficiently, preventing injuries, and developing the kind of strength that carries over into everyday life. I emphasize biomechanics, mobility work, and postural restoration to help people move with power, ease, and longevity.

Just as movement is essential, so is nervous system regulation. Stress, fatigue, and chronic tension affect performance more than we realize. I incorporate breathwork, somatic practices, and stress reduction techniques to help my clients train smarter, recover faster, and feel more in control of their bodies. Learning to regulate the nervous system is key to creating true resilience—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Transformation doesn’t happen without habit reprogramming. It’s not just about short-term results; it’s about rewiring your brain so you have a better approach to your health and well-being. Sustainable nutrition, quality sleep, and mental resilience are the foundation of everything I teach. When these pieces align, movement becomes effortless, recovery improves, and health becomes a natural byproduct of daily life.

My Journey: From Searching to Understanding

Like many, I once searched endlessly for solutions, studying psychology and spirituality and even traveling the world in pursuit of answers. I explored traditional fitness, mindfulness practices, and deeper emotional work. While all of these helped, nothing transformed me more than mastering my sleep, nutrition, and movement.

That’s when I realized that true health isn’t about pushing harder or following rigid rules—it’s about working with your body, not against it. When you train with intention, nourish yourself properly, and prioritize recovery, strength, and vitality become natural outcomes.

My Studies and Certifications

My work is deeply informed by science and experience, drawing from multiple disciplines to offer a truly integrative approach to health and fitness. Over the years, I’ve studied movement and biomechanics through the Postural Restoration Institute, Functional Range Conditioning, and Z-Health, among others. These methodologies have shaped my approach to movement efficiency, postural alignment, and injury prevention.

My background in breathwork and nervous system regulation includes extensive training in Qi Gong, Coherent Breathing, and the Wim Hof Method. Breath is the bridge between the body and mind, and learning to regulate it has profound effects on strength, recovery, and stress resilience.

I’ve also done deep work in habit reprogramming and somatic integration, with certifications in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Faster EFT, and The Work of Byron Katie. These tools allow me to help clients break old patterns, release tension stored in the body, and create lasting behavioral change.

In addition to movement and mindset, I’ve studied metabolic and nutritional science, drawing from the work of Ray Peat and Kate Deering, as well as The Health Coach Institute, to help clients develop a healthier relationship with food and optimize their metabolism. Sleep is another crucial pillar of health, and my training in sleep hygiene and recovery, through my training with Susan D’Addario (The Sleep Coach), has allowed me to help clients improve their energy, cognitive function, and overall well-being.

“Dave helped me manage my health and well-being and made me love working out again. He got me to a place where I could make fitness a lifestyle and not just something on my to do list that I dreaded. After my kids moved out I was fat and unhappy from years of eating at restaurants and drinking too much and just stress from life. Dave taught me some basics around nutrition that I could follow while still being a foodie. He gives me the best workouts that I actually look forward to doing. And he taught me about how to use the chemical factory inside me to my advantage instead of relying on alcohol and sugar. He has done wonders for my anxiety and his techniques to get me to calm down have been invaluable. I highly recommend him as a health and fitness coach to anyone looking to improve their life and get serious about their habits.”

Gary Bernstein

“Dave is a remarkably good coach and an all around great guy. As a father to an autistic son and a trademark lawyer at a high pressure firm, I have a lot of stress and Dave really helped me manage it so I could be a better father, better husband, and a happier person. I work out 3 times a week now, I eat much healthier, and I lowered my cholesterol significantly. My doctor is extremely happy that I brought Dave into my life. I have now been working with him for 10 years. He was extremely important to me during the pandemic but in general he is just an anchor in my life and I’m very pleased to be able to reach out to him whenever I need him. He is my health and fitness coach but really he is my friend and life coach as well. He just helps me feel sane. He normalizes being human while still encouraging me to not set limits on myself and break through my plateaus and that’s a rare combination. I highly recommend him.”

Rob Becker

“Working with Dave got me in the best shape of my life. I was never really that out of shape but I felt sluggish and heavy all the time and since we started working together I have more energy, my joints are better than ever, I love the way I look, and I was able to get back to doing jiu jitsu. Now I feel like being 41 is pretty awesome as long as I accept the challenge. If I didn’t have this accountability I probably would be drinking every night, eating too much, and just surviving…not thriving like I am now.”

Tomas Colon

“Dave has truly transformed my life. He figured out how to help me with my hormones with the help of a doctor, he got me on some great supplements, and he taught me some bio hacks that have helped my sleep and recovery tremendously. On top of that I got down to 12 percent body fat and 185 lbs. I was 200 lbs with a low testosterone level and no idea what was happening in my body until he helped me course correct. I love the workouts and I no longer have a restrictive relationship with food. I have gotten back into acting and he even helped me with my everyday life stress by teaching me breathing exercises and mobility that I do every day. I highly recommend him to men who want to do a deep dive into living a healthy vibrant life.”

Joe Pope

“In my time workout with Dave I lost 40 lbs and have kept it off effortlessly. As a busy ceo of a major energy company I don’t have a ton of time or mental space for things that would give me decision fatigue. Dave gave me a plan and daily support so I could stay accountable. He also taught me about rest and recovery and having a yin to my yang. I finally sleep 6-7 hours a night and the supplements he gives me make me have better energy. I can’t recommend this man enough. Anyone serious about their health should get this kind of support. For me it was a matter of life and death and I’m glad I’m thriving now at age 60. If you don’t have good energy what have you got?”

Brian Singh

“I’ve been working with Dave for many years, and have reaped extraordinary benefits. He’s full of wide-ranging technical knowledge about the body, health, and physical fitness, and applies it in resourceful, creative, flexible ways based on my goals, needs, and constraints. But our long-lasting work together testifies to the true pleasures of the relationship: the light touch, the love of paradox, the vivid anatomical poetry.”
