David Smith

David has spent over a decade testing, reviewing, and breaking fitness equipment so you don't have to. Holding a CPT certification, David specializes in helping everyday people build highly effective, space-saving home gyms without wasting money on flashy gimmicks.

Before founding GymHowTo, he worked as a commercial gym equipment buyer, giving him an industry-insider perspective on build quality, motor lifespan, and warranty tricks. When he's not running equipment torture tests, you can find him grinding out heavy squats in his garage gym.
