TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying!

"The man for the job"

"As a first responder, being in shape is very important. When I was stone walled by my own stubbornness, repeating the same workouts week after week with no signs of progress, I knew I needed a change. Dave was the man for the job! After hearing about his background, and what he was willing to offer through his program, I joined. The man knows what he is doing and won't let you down."

Jake O. - U.S. Navy Veteran and Denver Police Officer

"Leads by example. I couldn't have done it without the program"

"Coach Bellis is practiced expert at developing tailored programs for both groups and individuals. He brings legitimate experience as a tactical athlete himself and develops his athletes through teaching. Dave leads by example to create more informed and better trained tactical athletes. Personally, he took me from a pulled hamstring to a 36 minute 5 mile in six weeks."

B.M. - US Army Ranger,

1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment

"Highly recommend this"

"I was stuck with my weight loss and had tried a variety of options and nothing seemed to work. That’s when I decided to try Asset Performance Institute (API) app. API enhanced my workout options and provided tips to increase my strength and endurance. With the help of API, I was able to achieve my weight loss goals. Additionally, I am sleeping better, have more energy, enthusiasm, endurance, and cognitive ability since using API. It worked for me and helped me get on track with my fitness goals and I highly recommend it for others looking to achieve fitness related goals."

Kerry Steuart - President of MYKC and Owner of LiveBliss

"A true professional and all around great guy!"

"Coach Dave tailor made me an incredible training plan that resulted in shaving seven minutes from my 5-mile time and prepared me to be a top physical performer at Ranger Selection and Assessment. Dave is a true professional and all around great guy!"

Joe M. - 75th Ranger Regiment

"Committed to excellence in everything he does"

"I have known Dave for over 13 years, and I can sincerely say that he is one of the most dedicated dudes that I have ever met. Towards the beginning of our careers, under the tutelage of Dave, I went from only being able to do 6 dead hang pull-ups to winning a San Diego military pull-up competition at 27. Dave is committed to excellence in everything that he does. If you are looking to take your professional or personal fitness to the next level, then I would challenge you to take advantage of the knowledge Dave has put into his program.."
