Dave says ‘Bodybuilding is just what I’m good at… other than that I’m just a regular guy. I’ve been playing guitar and singing since I was 9 years old. I started playing baseball and football when I was a kid. In high school, I lettered in football, basketball, and track. I ran track in Jr. College…400m, 800m, mile and cross country.’
After graduating from the University of Texas with a B.S. in Physical Education, and an M.Ed. in Exercise Physiology, Dave taught and coached in the Texas public schools for 9 years.
Dave says ‘I joined a bodybuilding gym after I graduated and have been competing since 1983. I’ve won 3 state, and 9 international titles in drug-free bodybuilding. I’ve won 5 state and 1 national title in powerlifting and briefly held a drug-free world record.’ In 1994 he moved back to Austin, Texas where he started his personal training career. Dave has successfully worked with clients of all fitness levels, from complete beginners who are just trying to get into shape, to world-class physique athletes who want to excel in their chosen field.
Dave Goodin is unique in the fitness world, not only possessing a vast amount of knowledge through both education and 32 years of practical experience, he also practices what he preaches and is still winning bodybuilding championships in his 50’s as a drug-free athlete.
Dave’s titles include WNBF Natural Universe (2006), IFBB North Americans Championships Masters 50+ (2009), NPC Team Universe Championships (2009), IFBB World Amateur Championships Masters 50+ (2009).
