Introduction

My name is Dave Bohr, I’m originally from Detroit, MI currently living in Southern, CA. I moved here at age 21 to further expand my training career. I became a Personal Trainer / Sports Nutritionist back in 2002. Over the years, I’ve have had a lot of success training and transforming clients around the world with online training. In 2008 I decided to dedicate myself full time to my online clients, so I started Apex Contest Prep – Online Personal Training. Shortly after starting Apex, I entered Bodybuilding.com’s first ever 16 week transformation contest, to test a diet I created (The ccKeto™). There wasn’t much time left when I decided to enter, instead of 16 weeks between my before & after photos, I only had 6 weeks & 2 days. Out of the 1,147 competitors that entered I placed 2nd, despite having nearly a 10 week late start between before/after photos. For the transformation contest I used a rapid fat loss dieting format I created called the ccKeto™ (Carb Cycling / Ketogenic Hybrid). I was having a lot of success using this on clients already so I felt confident on what to do. I speak more in detail about the ccKeto™ in some of my interviews if you’d like to know more about it. It is just one of many dieting formats I use with a clients. MuscleTech™ the largest supplement company in the world at the time sponsored the Bodybuilding.com contest. They apparently were impressed by my transformation, and decided to sponsor me. I also more recently picked up another sponsorship from Vitargo™. Over the years my reputation as an online coach / transformation guru has helped me continue doing what I love each day every day, and change the life of thousands of people through personal training. Each online training package I offer includes a fully customized: Diet / Meal Plan, Cardio, Core, Supplement Routine, Grocery List, and unlimited support. Every plan I hand tailor specifically to that Individual. I take into consideration factors such as goals, lifestyle, limitations, resources, and preferences in all areas. Whether the client is on a tight budget, has complex dietary requirements, or is limited to working from home with a simple set of bands or dumbbells. The customized routine will reflect that in great detail. Client’s check in regularly to provide feedback with the physical stat, diet, and training logs I provide to officially review progress and results. I will make adjustments to the routines as often as needed. Client’s that have multiple goals typically have multiple routines over time. Such a strict fat loss diet, followed by a lean bulk. Other client’s simply want to try a variety of training / dieting formats under me. I never charge extra to completely re-design an entire new routine as long as you’re a client of mine. That is what my unlimited support is for. When I first started Apex, I was one of just a few experienced online trainer’s at the time, and to my knowledge the only full-time. This was before social media and the Internet has exploded, so naturally there are countless other’s now. Some legitimate, many copy cats. However I can really only speak for myself when I say this is where all my time, expertise, and energy goes, each day. My online clients make up a very diverse group. From many different countries, cultures, professions, with different goals, and varied experience levels. I have worked with fitness, physique, bikini, bodybuilding competitors, NFL players, CEO’s, Doctors, Personal Trainers, Vegans, Police Officers, and clients from each branch of the military. Personally, I enjoy working with anyone who has the will and desire to change, and hopefully become the best version of themselves through my help. To find out more about the online training package I offer, check availability, or receive a free quote, and consultation. Feel free to Contact me anytime. I will respond within 24 hour’s. Thank you!

From having experienced many trainers, Dave Bohr has set the standard of what an unprecedented training coach/mentor should emulate. His unrivaled focus to his clients, let alone myself is truly unmatched. Dave treats me like a brother, continually reaches out and never fails to deliver his undivided attention. Anyone fortunate enough to experience his personal training will be forever grateful.

When I started 6-7 months ago I had absolutely no clue what it really takes to transform your body. I can safely say that I would never have been where I am today had it not been for Dave. That’s a fact. Take a look at the before picture. Does it look like someone who’s aware of nutrition? Someone who’s on the right track? I think not. Dave showed me the ropes. Told me exactly what to lift, when to lift – but most importantly what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat etc. You really don’t have to think much – just follow the plan. Then after a few months you’ll see the logic behind it all, and then you can make your own decisions. Dave doesn’t sugarcoat. He’ll always tell you the truth, gently. On the other hand, if you give it your best he’ll be the first to give kudos and he’ll always encourage you if your transformation comes to a halt. I have only good things to say about Dave. He’s very knowledgable, responds fast to enquiries and he’s just overall a great guy. I’m very thankful for his support and friendship.

When I decided to do a bikini competition I was given the name of several different websites/online trainers from a friend who also does bikini competitions. When I began looking into these particular websites, which were geared mainly for women and bikini division, I was unhappy with their cookie cutter approach towards nutrition and training not to mention I would be associated with a brand. One of the websites required I buy their sponsored brand of protein shakes and supplements in order to get a coach. I knew this wasn’t the approach I was going to take so I did a little research of my own and came across Dave’s website and contacted him. At first I was a bit hesitant because from most of the articles I’ve read and male bodybuilders I’ve spoken to, the bikini division is not taken seriously. It’s many peoples’ view that any female can buy a bikini, do very little if any prep at all and strut across the stage and that can’t be further from the truth. After a million questions and emails I realized Dave is not one of those guys. He prepared a meal plan and workout just for me and was very diligent about my progress. I felt like he was always in my corner. He would encourage questions/concerns and had a well thought out and scientifically backed answer. I went into the prep with a pretty good understanding of nutrition and training but after completing my first show, I realized I didn’t know nearly as much as I thought I did and it was definitely something I could not have done on my own. The tools that he gave me I will have for a lifetime I would tell anyone,especially women, if you are looking to compete in any division of bodybuilding to look into Apexcontestprep. Dave is very professional, prompt, and a real pleasure to work with. Besides, contest prep isn’t the cheapest hobby, spend your money on someone you can trust!

I started off with no idea what to do, and decided to give Apex a try. Came out with a diet and workout plan and they were very easy to follow. I decided to get the 3 month plan, but when I plan on competing again, I plan on coming back to Apex! Great contest prep. Very knowledgeable and he practices what he preaches, unlike most others. Highly recommend at least trying him out, whether it’s a competition or you just want to look better.

I’m a repeat client of Dave Bohr and I want to say that since I’ve been working with him he has really brought me up to the next level! With all his experience my conditioning was at its best for the 2010 Excalibur where I placed 4th in figure in one of the top show’s California has to offer! Dave brought me to the level that I’m at and I can only get better from here! I look forward to continue working with Dave to get me to the level of being a top figure competitor. Dave is very detailed and organized when it comes to writing out my diet/cardio/work out and leading up to my last 2 weeks of prep. Without him, I wouldn’t be at the level I am at now! Thanks Dave!!!
