Specialties
Westsidelatrainer specializes in teaching you how to understand your body as a structural system, as the first step towards any fitness goal. Good posture and correct alignment make all other athletic and functional endeavors possible. No matter your activity -- golf, triathlons, cycling, hiking, sitting in front of a computer, or rehabilitating an injury, we break down the movements, the muscles and optimize them. Westsidelatrainer also works extensively with older populations to increase flexibility, circulation, coordination, bone density and mental acuity. We do it all and we do it well. We invite you to ask anybody who's worked with us and see for yourself.

Meet the Business Owner: David S.
My fitness journey began at the age of 15, as an obese teenager, who figured out how to lose 50lbs., I was intrigued to discover how much further and how much better it could get. Always stimulated by challenges, I've run marathons and stair races, I've ridden tons of Centuries, including The Two Day 29,000 ft. Everest Challenge. It's all taught me that with enough desire and proper training techniques, the human body can do anything. I've held at various times certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine, the American College of Sports Medicine, the American Council of Exercise. I have worked at the Northwestern Hospital Eating Disorders Clinic. I've been certified by the Santa Monica Healing Arts Center in Shiatsu massage. I LOVE what I do!
