A Private Exercise

David Silva Training Center

Miami Beach fitness guru David Silva offers the ultimate in luxury for those who seek privacy and personal attention while striving to create the perfect body. The David Silva Training Center is a unique example of luxury in fitness with its Delanoesque drapes in the grand entry, top of the line equipment, and high success rate training methods, David’s center is becoming the “it” spot for successful professionals and international celebrity clients.

“It begins at the door,” says David. “The coded entry provides a high level of privacy and the ‘By Appointment Only’ sign helps avoid distractions.” Located on 41st Street (across from the Forge), the center is exclusively for clients looking for a one-on-one training experience. There are no more than 4 clients working with a personal trainer at a time and a few very special clients have the privilege of scheduling the entire facility for themselves. The two-floor center includes free weights, the finest nautilus equipment, tribar gripping system, deluxe cardio equipment, nutritional counseling, fresh juices and an on-site masseur.

The key to David’s success is his knowledge and understanding of physical fitness. And his clients pay top dollar for the results they achieve. He creates an individualized workout program that caters to his clients goals whether they be total body conditioning, weight loss, lean mass weight gain, toning and defining, body sculpting and building; and strength-endurance power, rehabilitation, sport specific programs, marathon running and pre/post natal conditioning.

Using a combination of progressive nutritional changes, cardiovascular, weight-lifting and rest, Silva trains his clientele to revamp their bodies by rethinking their attitudes. “There is no other way―you can’t go faster than you’re supposed to and you can’t punish yourself with an entirely different eating plan.

A former swimming champion and triathlete, Silva has over 15 years of training experience. He is the creator of the wildly popular “Pump-n-Tone”™ and “Indoor Triathlon”™ classes and holds full certifications as a Lifestyle & Weight Management Consultant by the ACE; Fitness Instructor by the ACE; Personal Fitness Trainer certified by ACE, ISSA, AFAA; and Spinning Instructor by “Johnny G” and Cycle Reebok.

David’s training philosophy can be broken down into three main segments. Balance, Variety and Feel. When training, Silva believes that it is vital to work the entire body, not just specific muscle groups. “I train my clients in a balanced fashion to achieve a balanced physique.” His training method focuses symmetry and developing your body into an amazing example of what a human body should look like.

The body thrives on change and diversity. Variety is a key element in keeping people motivated to continue training with vision and enthusiasm. Over the years, David has developed an armory of exercises for each body part, tried and tested movements that are of the best quality. Every exercise performed "hits" the body in a different aspect to every muscle group. "By changing an angle of a bench, or steering our weight through a different arc, you can stimulate new areas into growth," says Silva.

"The major component of my personal training philosophy can best be summarized by the word feel," the whole point of working-out is 'muscular contraction,' if you don't feel the muscle, you can't grow the muscle". Silva utilizes appropriate weights determined by body mass and fitness to open up the muscle-mind pathways and foster an awareness of muscle contraction points. "It is the amalgamation of Balance, Variety, and Feel coupled with the techniques and supervision of a certified trainer that will give one the method to attain the most proportionate and perfectly developed body possible."
