I don't usually write reviews but the workout at home program deserves recognition. The program is designed to help everyone succeed even if you're a beginner or have been working out daily. Every exercise is broken down with a video and easily explained. There is also a place you can upload a video of yourself and receive instant feedback of your technique. Exercises change often so you don't get bored doing the same thing over and over. I know most people complain about pricing but you get what you pay for. The program is fairly priced and provides you with the equipment you need to be successful in your own home. By far the best at home workout program.

Started going here to workout shortly after a bad back injury to learn how to lift properly and how to on my own as well. Had a great time with all the trainers and Rick helped me through any problems i had with lifting or really anything that was needed. I had a great experience at the gym with everyone and they helped me start on a good track and lose over 50 pounds! Highly recommend this to anyone trying to train more hard and anyone who wants to learn more about how to do it all properly.

I started training at Daman's in 2018, at first with a personal trainer focusing on MSE and taking classes to assist in recovering from knee surgery and then later gravitating to the at home training program a few years later. Fitness has always been a huge part of my life, from playing various sports, to yoga and weight training, I'm always looking for ways to stay fit and active especially as I've gotten older. I am also a PIAA football official, so it is imperative that I am always in shape and able to maintain my balance, coordination and agility on the field. The workouts Rick provides through the at-home program, do just that. Further, after the pandemic and given my demanding work schedule, going to a traditional gym wasn't an option for me any more. I had reached a plateau with what I was able to do on my own and needed more of an edge and challenge. The work outs are efficient, challenging, personalized, and flexible. Rick's personal attention to detail and to his clients is unmatched. I know that he is available and willing to work with me when I need to switch things up or need something specific. The equipment and the training are top-notch in my opinion. By executing this plan, I have gained muscle mass, maintained my weight, have improved confidence in what I can do, challenged myself and improved my balance and mobility. This gym and these programs were able to take me outside of my comfort zone for the better. Just as much as the training through Daman's has helped me on the field, it has assisted me in growing as a person and helped me continue my healthy lifestyle. Its all what you put into it, if you want to get the most out of it. Rick and his team can help get you there. I highly recommend this staff and facility if you are looking to gain confidence as well as improve your fitness.

I started this program when I had a 6 month old, a 1 year old, and a 3 year old. I’ve found it essential to reach out for help in my post-partum periods, because I don’t have extra time/energy to test out things that could help me feel fit again. I have tried almost every type of exercise out there, except for one that truly focuses on strength. I really like how everything in the app is broken down to the day. I particularly like that every single exercise has a video attached showing proper form, because I don’t have extra time to look up lifts that are new to me. There are helpful queues written such as how many seconds to lower/hold and weight suggestions. You can send videos and almost immediately get feedback so you can improve your technique in that same session. Moms shouldn’t feel like it’s impossible to care for their health. With the program I’ve been on, which is truly tailored to me, I’m definitely the strongest I’ve ever been. I can now deadlift more than my bodyweight. So many women talk about sore hips (weak glutes) after pregnancy. I used to limp after sitting in the car for 30 min. For the first time since having children, that pain is gone. Most importantly, I can carry any two of my children upstairs to bed.

My DST journey started about 10 months ago… Beforehand I was always just feeling tired and unmotivated by the time I got home from work…I told Rick on several occasions that I just need to do something…Rick started me on a program and I hit the ground running!I trusted the process, do my workouts to the best of my ability, and love the results I’m seeing…Energy levels are up, I’m feeling great, and my family looks at me a little differently…I now have my son in a program and can already see a attitude change in him as well…Awesome place to train, amazing team of trainers and I’d recommend to anyone!Thanks Daman’s team!

One of the best atmospheres around. I’ve been training here my entire life and it truly has helped me gain strides athletically and taught me discipline mentally. The coaches really give that personal touch that they want to make you better and they push you to be better than you were the day before. The workouts and preparation that DST puts you through makes you ready for the next level of competition whether that be high school, college, or professionally.

It honestly changed the way I went about my training. I knew Rick and the staff was going to push me everyday and it undoubtedly made me better. I saw strength levels rise quickly. I think the workouts specifically are fantastic for any athlete trying to become bigger, faster and stronger. The workouts definitely prepared me for college baseball.

I trained with Daman over the entire summer of 23’. I did the three month program. To start Daman is a very modest and dependable man. Always professional, on time, and communicates well if an inconvenience comes up. His staff always carries themselves in the same manner!In terms of my training and my progress, it was great! Rick set milestones and we passed them! He increased all my scores significantly! I’m a college football player at IUP and my numbers were nowhere near as consistent and high until I finished training with Rick. The Training directly translated to the field which was a big factor to me. I came into camp well prepared and people noticed a difference. I even became a starter this year and Rick had A Lot to do with it. Rick trains you mentally and physically. He breeds life into you and makes you realize you can do things you only imagined before because you didn’t have full belief in yourself.I promise if you stay consistent with Rick and just work, your results will show!

I don’t usually write reviews, but I think Rick deserves some recognition. I gained 60 lbs over the last 3 years. I felt terrible. I looked terrible. My self esteem was at an all time low. I have herniated discs in my lower back. I am a dental hygienist which exacerbates my back issues. The extra weight was really causing my sciatica to flare up. Most days I could barely walk out of work. I would be stuck at home lying flat on the floor for hours trying to get my spine back into alignment. I saw Rick’s ad on Facebook one day and decided I needed to at least take a chance at getting healthier. I started in July 2022. It was a slow and rocky start. Life kept happening and I was full of excuses. But Rick wouldn’t let me quit. He remained in constant contact with me through text message always encouraging me along the way. He tailored my workouts to suit my schedule and to my limitations due to my chronic back pain. Sometimes he had to change my workouts several times a week. I’m happy to say that with Rick’s help I have since lost 30 lbs. I have muscle tone for the first time in my life. And best of all, I can’t even remember the last time my back went out. It has been months. I highly recommend Daman Strength Training!!!

Great people, great programs and just a great experience! I have been doing the remote training for the past 5 months. Rick is wonderful with changing up my workouts so I don't get bored, and changing my schedule if life gets in the way.**Update - 6 months into the program and I feel better than I have in years!! I have more energy and feel so much stronger! Just signed up for another 6 months and can't wait to see how I feel then!!

Daman's is next level! I belong to the chain gyms, which is fine but Daman's is the gym that delivers results!! I chose them based off of the feedback and seeing the results of multiple people that I know who belong. I knew also that in order to get results, this was the place I needed to be. The program is built around you as a person. You don't just get the oh here are some workouts and have at it. There was an assessment that showed him what I could do, then he modeled the workouts around that. You have access to them for any questions and help you might need with the exercises. Something doesn't work, he can adjust as needed. He is always a text away from help and also will meet you to go over what is needed. I have access to the gym and equipment at any time during the day which helps tremendously with work life balance. If there is a trainer there they also help with any questions or issues you might have. If you want a gym/ trainer who cares for you the individual and your results, Daman's is the pace for you!!

When looking for a place for my son to rehab his injury and get in shape for baseball I reached out to Rick and it was the best decision for my son's health and fitness I've ever made! Rick and his team made a specialized program for him and welcomed him in and made him feel right at home. He's on a great path now for healthy living! Thank you for everything you guys have done and I recommend anyone looking for a great place to get started to give them a call.

I couldn't recommend DST more. For someone who never worked out a day in his life, Rick was able to tailor a workout plan that best fit my abilities. I have been doing the at home program since August 2022, and this was the best decision I have made. I feel stronger, healthier, more energy, and I sleep better.
