Six small things that tell your body: today we heal. No rush, no perfection — just begin.
That's the whole ritual. Your body heard you. 💚
Settle in, press start, and let the next twenty minutes be yours. You have to feel it to understand it.
Simple, safe, and straight from how we use it at home.
Twenty quiet minutes, feet up, nothing to do but relax. Here's what people in our own home and our community tell us they notice after a session on the bliss machine:
Janine (Kevin's mom)
That morning, Janine's pain was an 8 out of 10 — her hip and lower back hurt so much she was holding the furniture just to turn around. That evening, after her first session, she told the group in her own words:
"I have zero back pain and I usually have chronic back pain."
The next morning she reported the best sleep of her life.
Elizabeth, 71
Elizabeth's knee used to lock up after sitting, and she could not kneel on it at all. After her very first session, she got down on her knees on the hard tile floor — and rose back to standing all on her own, laughing. Her words about her knees:
"It's feeling better actually, a little better."
Elizabeth, on Janine
Elizabeth helps care for Janine, and she noticed the change before anyone said a word:
"Her mood, her personality, everything changed from a one to an eight… she was… so happy and so alert."
Kevin
After my own first session, I felt it in the places that usually talk to me loudest:
"I did my session and feel better and energized. Less pain in hip, back, neck."
And the next morning:
"I slept better, no pain… full of energy and ready to run."
Kahina (teammate, has her own machine)
"I'm amazed at my results after just one 20 min session!"
With regular use she's shared more: "My legs and knees and hip that was hurting feel goooood" — and her neck and back pain eased from an 8 down to a 6.
A woman in our community (story shared with our team)
After an ATV accident left her with a badly injured hip, her pain was at 9.5 out of 10. She sat for one 20-minute session — and within minutes her pain had dropped to zero. She spent the rest of the party with no pain at all.
Every body is different. These are real people's own experiences, shared in their own words — not promises. You have to feel it for yourself.
💚 Hear stories like these live every week on our free Healing Testimonials call — Tuesdays at 5:30 PM PST. Real people, real experiences, no hype.
Strong is for every age. Gentle strength, better balance, and more confidence in your own body — guided by a real trainer we know and trust. This is functional fitness: strength for the life you actually live.
Four quick taps — Dave loves seeing how you're doing.
Saved on this phone only — texting Dave is always your choice. 🌿
Dave is Kevin's cousin, and his story might sound a little like yours.
In his early twenties, an accident shattered both of Dave's legs. Surgeries, painkillers, and some dark years followed. At 32, he was 225 pounds and facing diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol — on three medications.
Then he looked at his two young kids and decided they deserved a dad who would be around. He started with gentle biking. Over two years, he lost 80 pounds. Then he found a way of training that changed everything for him.
Today Dave is medication-free, stronger than ever. He runs Dave's Functional Fitness, and for 7 years he has helped other people — most of them older adults — build and keep the muscle that keeps them strong, steady, and independent. 850+ classes taught. More than 100 lives changed.
His motto: Train Smarter. Move Better.
It's a big name for a simple idea: train for real life. This is the heart of functional fitness — training your body for the things life actually asks of you: standing, lifting, carrying, and keeping your balance.
Instead of exercising one muscle at a time on a machine, Dave teaches your body to move the way life asks it to — standing up from a chair, carrying groceries, climbing stairs, catching your balance.
He uses simple tools — kettlebells, dumbbells, and your own bodyweight — always at your level, always at your pace. It's not about looking a certain way. It's about staying strong enough to live your life, your way.
Every option below is functional fitness, coached at your pace — pick the one that fits your life:
📍 La Mesa — by appointment
No pressure. No sales talk. Just come try functional fitness the friendly way — move your body, meet Dave, and see how it feels.
Most people tell us they were nervous before their first class — and glad they came anyway. You will be welcomed exactly as you are.
That first class is also your first check-in with Dave, in person — he learns your name, your body, and your goals, and from there he's in your corner, checking in with you like a coach should.
📞 Call Dave: 619-995-0126 💬 Text DaveDave answers personally. If he misses you, he'll call you back — leave your name and say the app sent you. 💚
A gentle starter of functional fitness you can do right at home, in a chair's reach. Go slow. Breathe. Stop if anything hurts — gentle is the whole point.
✅ Done? Tap below and keep your streak alive — then go enjoy your morning ritual.
Check in with Dave 💪All Dave's check-ins go straight to Dave, from you — your streak itself stays private on this phone, and texting him is always your choice.
Or check in here on the web 💚General wellness movement only — this is not medical advice and doesn't replace care from your own doctor. If you have an injury or a condition, check with your doctor before starting, and ask Dave to adapt it for you at your free class.
After a class or a session with Dave, your body is asking for building blocks — that's when a nourishing smoothie does its best work. Fruits and greens carry the repair: they feed the muscles you just woke up and help you feel steady and clear for the rest of the day. Make it part of the rhythm: move, then refuel.

Save my seat for TuesdayKevin was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, an autoimmune disease that stiffens and fuses the spine. A fused spine was supposed to be his future — doctor's orders, case closed. He refused to accept it. Through food, lifestyle, and faith in what a body can do, he prevented that fusion and got his life back.
“A fused spine was supposed to be my future. I prevented it. Bent, not broken — that's not a slogan, that's my spine.”
