Proven Record of Success
Decades of Real Results. Thousands of Lives Transformed.
Anyone can talk about success. Dave DePew has built his entire career on proving it.
With more than 30 years in the fitness industry, Dave has transformed lives in every corner of the fitness world — from beginners stepping into the gym for the first time, to elite strength athletes chasing podium finishes. His methods aren’t based on trends — they’re based on time-tested systems, relentless refinement, and a commitment to real, lasting change.
Not Just Talk — Documented Transformations
Dave was one of the first in the industry to build a business around 12-week transformation challenges. Long before “before-and-after” photos were all over social media, Dave was running structured programs that produced undeniable results.
He’s conducted over 48 nationally televised transformation programs, helped launch major fitness brands, and created systems that many gyms and trainers still replicate today.
But the numbers are just part of the story. The impact speaks louder.
Success Measured in Strength, Confidence, and Comebacks
The results Dave is most proud of aren’t just the physical ones — they’re the breakthroughs. The people who walked in broken and walked out believing in themselves again. The mothers who regained their strength, the men who rebuilt their bodies and their confidence, and the athletes who crushed limitations they thought they’d never overcome.
Dave’s proven process combines:
- Strategic training based on individual goals and ability
- Sustainable nutrition systems that work in real life
- Mindset coaching that fuels growth, not just motivation
- Accountability and personal connection that most coaches can’t offer
This is why people don’t just train with Dave — they trust him.
Built Over Time, Backed by Results
Dave’s reputation didn’t come overnight. It came through years of showing up, staying in the trenches, and constantly refining his craft. His clients span generations, goals, and backgrounds — but what they all have in common is that they walked away stronger, in every sense of the word.
Real People. Real Progress. Real Proof.
You’ll find the stories in every corner of Grinder Gym. You’ll hear them in the podcast episodes. You’ll see them in the competition photos. You’ll feel them in the energy when someone hits their first PR or finishes their first challenge.
Because success isn’t just possible here — it’s expected.
If you’re ready for real results, you’re in the right place.
Dave DePew doesn’t just coach change. He lives it.
