David Downey
Owner/Head Coach
OPEX CCP | PN1
David is the Owner and Head Coach of Regenerate Strength. He has an extensive background in business coupled with a drive and passion for fitness. This fueled his aspirations to open a world class training facility, where the client, not a methodology, dictated the design of the fitness program. He is a certified OPEX CCP Level 1 Coach (NASM accredited) and a Precision Nutrition Level 1 Certified Coach (PN 1). He has been in the health and fitness industry for over a decade as a coach and business owner.
David has taken an active role in his health since 2005 when his fitness journey began doing bootcamps. As he evolved, he was transfixed, as many others have been, into coaching CrossFit. Realizing, after a few years, the lack of sustainability within this style of training, he was determined to find a better way to train and to coach. OPEX Fitness, an accredited fitness coaching education platform, created an opportunity to learn the how's and why's behind program design, nutrition, assessment and what it meant to truly become a professional coach. Through that learning, Regenerate Strength was born to help people create longevity in their lives with whatever THEY wanted to accomplish.
David strives to bring the best health and fitness to his clients and community. As a co-founder of Regenerate Health Medical Center with his wife, Dr. Alexandra Carswell Engle, NMD, Regenerate Strength is a natural progression into combining the very best with individualized fitness, nutrition & lifestyle coaching with individualized natural medicine that is focused on treating the whole person.
David believes in using a combination of movement, nutrition and lifestyle management, to live a pain free and active lifestyle. He intelligently designs fitness programs based on your individual needs and health conditions. For him, fitness is more than just working out, it bleeds into all aspects of living, bringing a sense accomplishment, determination and desire to meet and exceed ones desired outcomes. Setting goals and using the medium of fitness to increase and maintain a high quality of life for his clients drives his passion as a professional coach and mentor.
David's mission is clear, to deliver his clients the highest quality results, through professional coaching, education and commitment to treating each client as the unique individual that they are.
