The Hard To Kill Project

There's a path.
Here's how it works.

Most veterans don't have a fitness problem. They have a starting-over problem. Every program here is built to meet you where you are — and move you forward.

"You are saving my life brother. I feel a sense of pride — I'm finally looking after me without my wife's guidance. No lie, I never dreamed I'd have the drive ever again. This means the world to me."

"This program is a great way to train your mind to get back into the fight after many years of inactivity. It is designed to crawl before you run. I have lost just over 5 lbs following the program — and I only see success ahead. CHIMO."

"Down 15 lbs and starting to see physical changes. I'm feeling less back and knee pain and my head is less foggy. Any veterans looking for a fresh start to feeling better with less pain and inflammation — even with our injuries — give Dave a shout."

"Saw the surgeon for the last time last Wednesday. He said 'You are my second best patient.' Most patients my age give up after 6 months and start pain medication and cortisone for life. I have no pain. I can bend to 130-134 degrees and have perfect extension. Thanks Dave."

"Dave is the real deal. His programs are thorough, researched, and most importantly — effective. I improved my strength, flexibility, and most importantly my self-confidence. He shows the same passion and loyalty to each and every one of his clients."
