David Lee Nall was living the American dream: he had a new house, four cars, and a business that was grossing seven figures.  He had come a long way for a skinny, dyslexic kid who had been a poor student.  But in the midst of all this hard-earned success, his weight had climbed to 245 pounds, his energy levels were flagging, and he had discovered some tumors on his stomach and lower back.  Although the tumors were diagnosed as benign, the health scare was a wake-up call.  David wasn’t even 30 years old, but all the long hours at the office and the constant stress were starting to take a toll.  His son, was only four.  David wanted to be around to see him grow up.

On December 1, 2004, David decided to change his life once and for all.  He made the decision to start taking care of himself.  He bought healthy foods, watched what he ate, and restructured his exercise routine.  Within six months, he had lost 49 pounds.  He resolved to enter the 2006 Texas Shredder Classic, a natural, drug-tested, body building contest.

David began eating small, frequent meals totaling 350 grams of protein, 300 grams of carbohydrates and 40 grams of fat daily.  Five days a week he did 30 minutes of high intensity cardio workouts and weight training, with 45 minutes of cardio on the weekends.  After losing a total of 59 pounds and dropping his waist size from 42 inches to 32 inches, he placed second in his class at the contest. 

But the real reward was how he felt: he hadn’t felt this good since he was in high school, when he’d first started weight lifting and strength training as a way to overcome the weak knees that prevented him from playing sports.  His dedication led him to win third place in the 1994 Iron Man Natural Body Building Contest, third place in the 1995 Missouri State Body Building Show, and first place in the heavy weight division and overall competition at the 1995 St. Louis Body Building Show.  Indeed, his passion for fitness even led to his first job at 18, when he began working at Bally Total Fitness as a porter for $4.25 per hour.  By the age of 19, he was a service manager and was exceeding all quotas.  His success led to increasing responsibilities at various prominent gyms, including Gold’s Gym and Q the Sports Club.

Further success led him to open his own business, Bonus Building Care, a commercial cleaning franchise, in Austin, Texas.  His hard work led to numerous awards, including the Franchisee of the Year Award.  However, he never forgot the gratification he felt in working with clients at the health clubs.  Today, he still manages his franchise, but also has his own personal trainer business.  In addition to being a certified personal trainer, he is a certified sports nutritionist and aerobics instructor.

David enjoys seeing people undergo the same kind of transformation he went through.  No one is ever too old to adopt a healthy lifestyle; the body has an amazing ability to heal and renew itself.  He takes pride in tailoring an exercise and diet program to the particular needs and abilities of his clients.  

People get so wrapped up in their daily responsibilities that they forget to ask what they have done for themselves lately, he observes.  “Taking care of yourself,” he says, “is the best way to take care of others.”
