I have been working out at DBC Fitness with trainer Eric Story for over four years. This facility is filled with positive energy - everyone wants to see you win and accomplish your fitness goals. Since working with Eric I have become stronger physically, mentally, and financially - I recommend DBC Fitness and Eric Story without reservation.

I started working with Eric a year ago after I found myself in serious back pain that basically rendered me unable to walk. Eric helped me get out of pain and since then we have been consistently working on rebuilding and adding strength to legs, back, core, glutes, etc consistent with Dr McGill methods. Eric introduced me to Dr McGill and all his methods and all of our training has been consistent with McGill's teaching.
Since working with Eric I have become a loyal follower of Dr McGill's content, having now read both Back Mechanic and Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance at Eric's recommendation. Eric has ultimately been an invaluable resource for me in getting out of back pain and avoiding it going forward. I could not recommend Eric more.

I've been training with Eric Story since 2018, 2-3 times a week. He is an absolute professional and a very rare find in this field. He has dedicated his entire life to learning and improving his knowledge base in all things related to fitness: anatomy, body mechanics, nutrition, etc. He practices what he teaches and will hold you to the same high standards.

I have been working with Coach Eric Story for over 6 years. I can say that his commitment to his clients is unrivaled by anyone I know in the fitness industry. My personal story is unique. I came to Eric years ago to help transition my body and my performance from a sprint triathlete to a long course triathlete. I had no idea what this would entail but Eric sure did! Eric knew exactly what was needed and created a specialized program specifically for my body so that I could achieve maximum results. Together we ended up not only competing in long course but securing a spot on the USA National Team 3 years in a row (and counting) and making it to the ITU World Championships.
Whether you're new to working out or an experienced athlete, Eric's knowledge of various sports, disciplines, and consistent work ethic is an asset to anyone. I assure you if you come to Eric willing to become more, he will deliver. I would recommend Eric and his Story Strong Training Systems to anyone looking to improve their overall bealth, mindset, and conditioning.

David Mitchell
I started training with Eric Story two years ago. I was recommended to him by a friend who said he would help me strengthen my body to no longer have back pain. I have two herniated discs, L4-L5, L5-S1. Before training with Eric, I had relapses every 6 months, and my Physical Therapist had given up.
In the two years since, I'm happy to say l've had zero relapses, I play golf every week, and have no back pain at all. We've strengthened my body and core to withstand the rigors of golf, as well as every day life, and I couldn't be more grateful for his guided training and strengthening.

When I arrived in Miami, I was looking for a trainer as dedicated and experienced as those I had worked with for many years. Eric is the perfect solution. He designs the sessions days in advance around each client's regimen and arrives prepared and ready to go.
He's incredibly knowledgeable and I leave with the best "total body workout". Plus, he's highly professional and super fun fun to learn from and experience his coaching together. I like to be around those who are serious about training and want to work with top-tier fitness professionals. Eric himself is an amazing shape and inspires his clients by setting the example.

I have been with Alessandra for almost 10 years! She is not only a trainer but has became a friend! She transforms my body to whatever I ask and need. When it was my wedding time, she helped me reach every goal I had! She is always early, professional and there is truly no one like her to bring you the most positive and best energy each training session!
Nicolete Didonato
I have been training with Alessandra since December of 2022. I came in and told her the kind of training I thought I wanted, and she listened and kindly suggested that we try her methods that were a good mix of strength training, weight training, and circuit training (to name a few). I had done cycling three times a week from October through November and hadn’t shed one pound. I started personal training with Ale three times a week and lost 10 pounds in one month. Since then, I’ve lost 60 pounds. Not only am I happy because I lost all my baby weight, I’m happy because I’m strong.
After having my first baby my confidence really plummeted, but Ale helped build me up both physically and emotionally. I feel sexy and confident because Ale helped me build myself up again—even better than before! I could not have done this without her. I’m immensely grateful for having Alessandra, not just as a trainer but more as a coach. She didn’t let me give up, and instead made sure to give lots of encouragement and attention so I’d feel motivated to keep going. Ale has been a tremendous blessing
Joana Vila
One of the biggest challenges during my pregnancy was maintaining a workout routine, managing bealty weight gain, and feeling good about the changes in my body. Initially, I was scared of facing these transformations. But with Ale's guidance, we worked out safely throughout my pregnancy, ensuring there was no risk to the baby. This not only helped my body stay strong and healthy through all the changes but also made it easier to return to my pre-pregnancy body and have a smoother postpartum recovery.
