TRAIN WITH THE DRAGON

Coach Davion’s path to fitness didn’t begin in a gym—it started in the backyards and streets of Tampa, Florida. At just seven years old, an 18-year-old from the neighborhood refused to let him sit on the sidelines. Every time he saw young Davion, he made him play—no excuses, no exceptions—against kids who were bigger, older, and stronger.

“I don’t know who the heck this guy was. I just remember he was about 18 and I was 7. Every time he saw me, he made me play ball whether I wanted to or not. He saw potential in me, and he was right. I may have hated it at times, but now I thank him for what he did.”

That early pressure revealed something: Davion had an extraordinary capacity to perform. He went on to play college football at Southwestern College in Kansas, breaking school records before competing professionally in the Arena Football League. The pinnacle came in 2010 when the Miami Dolphins brought him in for a private workout—one step away from the highest level in the sport.

“My dream was always to play in the NFL. I took one of the hardest routes possible to get there and barely missed it. I was a maverick—I pretty much willed my way to the top with very little help.”

That journey gave Coach Davion something most trainers can’t teach: he knows what the human body is capable of when it’s pushed with purpose.

Now he channels everything he learned on that road—the discipline, the resilience, the grind—into training athletes and everyday people who are ready to unlock the best version of themselves. Whatever your goal, Coach Davion meets you where you are and takes you further than you thought possible.
