Comment: Took a pretty nasty spill skiing a few weeks back and couldnt turn my head to the right (made driving tough lol). Went and got cupping/blading done and I felt brand new! I was afraid that getting scraped would hurt like a mother, but it actually felt insanely nice. I would definitely recommend trying Dale out!

Comment: In May 2021 I decided to work on the pain in my lower back (L5-S1) and Sciatica. I have gone through physical therapy and constant stretching for about 2 years now. Nothing seems to help or make the pain go away 100%. The sciatica was getting so bad that I was afraid to bend over or move groceries. I reconnected with Dale and after a year of being with him he has taught me how to strengthen my core, back, glutes, and overall health.The Cupping and bodywork he did for me was a huge help to my recovery process. The continuous training and coaching from Dale has changed my life. Now I am able to do my day to day movements, work, and doing a simple task like bending over to put on my shoes. If it wasn’t for him I would honestly never be back in the gym again or even move properly.Dale made me feel so healthy that I even did my first Body Building competition in 2022! Kept me healthy and smiling the whole time. The coaching he provided, positive energy, and constant attention to detail is exactly that separates him from other trainers.I can’t express how much love I have for him and his work. The constant body work he has done for me and the attention he puts on helping me is immeasurable. Thank you Dale for always taking good care of your clients. I highly recommend Malakas Training! It is hard to find a trainer that helps with personal growth, Strength, AND proper recovery in/out of the gym.

Comment: I did a 12 week program with Dale. 1 week into the program, as we wrapped up the very first check in, he said “*We* had a really good week.” The ownership and investment he made right off the bat after having been complete strangers a few weeks before let me know all I needed. Dale has a depth of knowledge that extends beyond the exercises. He takes a wholistic approach and dials in nutrition and digestion, rest and recovery, and of course strength and conditioning. Expect thorough check ins to address what’s working well and what needs adjusting. Every issue that came up, Dale was able to modify the plan accordingly and was spot on with each tweak. I appreciated that he also had an explanation for the changes and what’s happening. He communicates well and follows through. In my opinion, the sincerity and genuine interest in the progress of his clients are what sets Dale apart from someone that just tells you what lifts to perform. He is intentional with his process and is always available to share proper technique and form to maximize results and minimize potential injury. He will not hesitate to pull back on intensity as needed, but that is never at the expense of pushing towards potential. After 12 weeks, I have met the goals we initially discussed and the results mirror the original expectation. I look forward to re engaging in the next phase. With commitment, transparency, and accountability, Dale will put you on the path to reach your goals.

Comment: Coming to Malakas is like coming home; you’re always greeted with a warm smile. The trainers and gym members are all friendly and motivating. A sense of camaraderie and friendship radiates from this gym. Most gyms are always off putting; and intimidating but at Malakas you’re one of the family. You can ask questions; explanations and no one judges you or makes you feel uncomfortable. Many times there is professional body builders and athletes in the space and they share their knowledge; joke around with you and truly are there to simply help. Building this sort of Enviornment and culture does not come easy, and the staff at Malakas truly work hard at keeping this culture alive.Three words that i would use to describe Malakas Training would beClean, Safe, Welcoming

Comment: After working out consistently for over 15 years without ever putting any emphasis on recovery, I decided it was time to put some focus towards protecting my body instead of just beating it up.I stumbled across Malakas Training while scrolling through IG and instantly knew it was exactly what I was seeking. With Dale being a personal trainer along with having a background in competitive bodybuilding, I knew hed have no problem comprehending my issues.On the day of my appointment, I explained the issues I was having to Dale and he immediately knew how to go about it. He worked on the areas utilizing blading, cupping, and massaging. The process what slightly painful but was also very relaxing. When we were finished, Dale gave me a hands-on training tutorial on exercises I was struggling with.I trained a day after my treatment and felt like a new man. My body felt rejuvenated and was virtually free of the nagging aches & pains I had just a few days prior. The contractions were so good that my Pump was unreal. I seriously felt like I was 23 again (34 now).If you take lifting seriously and want the most out of your body/training, I highly suggest seeing Dale for Body Work!

Comment: I’ve been training with Dale for about 2 yrs now and Ive never felt as strong as I am today. He pushes my more than I thought possible and believes in me when I doubt my possibilities. My whole objective was to workout and feel better starting from the inside knowing that being on track my physique will follow, which is another plus. He has created a plan of eating clean foods that with dedication has improved my energy, mood and clarity mentally. Because we all know it starts in the gut. Even though I have my vacation moments and get off track he has made it easy to get back on the right path. He is so flexible and easy to work with and continually cares about what your striving to achieve and works with you to help achieve your goal. His passion in the fitness world comes through with his training and also continued education and certifications he receives to pass on to us.I look forward to coming to MAlakas on my training not only to train but for the positive feels and encouraging environment.Thank you Dale for not only continuing to train me but also becoming a friend.

Comment: If you’re looking for amazing results and a trainer who actually cares not just about how you look but your overall health and well-being, Dale is the coach you’re looking for. I met Dale almost 2 years ago and basically told him I wanted to look like him lol. His accolades already speak for themselves as he is a competitor in physique competitions, but his training method goes way beyond aesthetics. My goal was to be sub 10% body fat and when I met him I was probably around 18 or 19. Within 6 months, with proper direction for my training and nutrition, I had accomplish that goal! More importantly, Dale had noticed a lot of imbalances and work needed on my mobility. Never in my years of lifting had I cared or had anyone point out these weaknesses but he made them apparent to me and every day we worked on that on top of the regular bodybuilding splits. I basically had to forget everything I thought I knew about training and start from scratch and being in my 30s that was not easy to get rid of bad habits, but with Dale’s guidance, I’ve made drastic improvements in my overall health as well as my physique.With the gains I made, Obviously I followed him when he opened up his own gym. Out of all the gyms I’ve been to there’s been no comparison. Clean, all the equipment for lifting and cardio I need, spacious, well ventilated and cooled (definitely important for SoCal summers!), and amazing people here!Like with any serious transformation you’ll need to hold yourself accountable and whatever you put into it you’ll get outbofnitbut set your goals high and Dale will get you to where you need to be.

Comment: If youre looking for an honest place that will help you reach real results then Malakas Training is the place to be.I highly recommend visiting Dale. Hes the type of coach that pushes you to lift more and more but also teaches how to not injure yourself. If you prefer a flexible diet, he has a teaching method that accommodates that. If a meal plan is preferred, then hes got your back with weekly updates. He is well-educated in health and his gym has got great equipment. He has other trainers that are fantastic and even have the option for you to get some body work in such as cupping and yoga on weekends.I started lifting with Dale when I graduated college 4 years ago with a scrawny body and saw big gains within that year. I took a 2 year gap in between to focus on graduate school and tried to lift by myself in a commercial gym but nothing could compare the size I put on in that short time I spent with Dale. After I proposed to my Fiancee, I knew had to go back to Dale to get my wedding body ready and I havent regretted it.When it comes to lifting, Dale makes a DifferenceP.S His shower is amazing
