Are you tired of reminiscing about your peak fitness days and feeling like they're a thing of the past? It's time to embark on a new journey!

Welcome to the Ripped & Ready program, crafted to elevate your metabolic fitness, amplify your functional strength, and unveil the aesthetic physique you deserve.

I'm Dave Spitz, a lifelong coach and former athlete who went from being a fit guy to a self-proclaimed "fat guy" after hitting 43. The realization struck that my genetic advantages were fading, leaving me weaker, heavier, and with subpar metabolic fitness.

But I refused to settle. I researched, wrote, and fine-tuned the Ripped & Ready program for myself, and now I'm sharing it with you.

The path to reclaiming my fitness wasn't a cakewalk, but it all started with a simple mantra: NEVER DO NOTHING.

If you're ready to break free from the shackles of declining fitness and embrace a transformative journey, the Ripped & Ready program at Cal Strength awaits you. Let's rewrite your story, together.

Are You Sick and Tired of the Dad Bod?

Do you feel like you're grappling with a relentless decline in your fitness? Is a hectic lifestyle and lack of structure holding you back from your athletic best?

Feel Like Your Fittest Days Are Gone?

Feeling out of shape and self-conscious about not measuring up to your previous athletic achievements can be discouraging. The resulting frustration and disappointment can chip away at your self-esteem.

Ditch the Boring Old Workouts!

This program includes strength training and functional bodybuilding exercises. The goal of the program? To have you effortlessly keeping up with your kids, dominating that pick-up basketball game, improving your golf swing, and confidently lounging poolside in Vegas. Most importantly, it's about regaining control of your health and fitness journey while having a blast doing it.
