Transform yourself! Your goals are my priority.
Don Byrd, Personal Trainer
Please allow me to tell you why I can help you achieve your physical transformation goals. I’m a certified personal trainer with AFAA (Aerobics Fitness Association of America). I have many years of experience with physical fitness training myself and others.
A routine medical exam revealed that I was 212 lbs with 39% body fat! In disbelief, I got a second opinion only to find the same results. I was morbidly obese and totally out of shape. More relevant is that I have been where many of you are RIGHT NOW – unhappy with your body image, level of fitness and confused and frustrated as to what to do to make the change.
Embarking on a mission of consistent study and effort, I learned the skills needed to transform myself! After much hard work, I won the Natural Physique Committees Masters Mr. Virginia Body Building contest.
I’m happy to take what I’ve learned over many years to help you achieve your goals starting with the very first workout. Your goals are my priority!
Serving Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Chesapeake Virginia!

I have been training with Don for over six months with great results. He is very knowledgeable working with clients who have had joint replacements.
Don Byrd has guided me for the past 3 years. His knowledge of strength training has helped me become stronger. His constant observation of my progress and his instruction has improved my technique. I have found his attention to the details of my training have increased not only my physical strength, but my knowledge and enjoyment of my gym work.
Don is an excellent coach. He increased my strength on every lift as well as fixed some of my technique. This helped me avoid injury even after adding 100 pounds to my deadlift. Don is very knowledgeable and a really great guy!
Don was recommended by a friend. We connected and I ended up training with Don for several years. I would still be training with him, but I moved away from Virginia. First and foremost, Don is a nice guy; he’s easy to talk to and he has a good sense of humor. Beyond that, he is an experienced professional who understands that different people need different types of workouts. He learns what your goals are and your current state of fitness, and he designs a workout program that meets your needs. Don was always respectful of my abilities and always encouraged me to take the next step.
