More About Coach Devin

I specializes in Personal Training, Sports Performance, and Injury Post-Rehabilitation. You will appreciate my attention to detail, scientific training methods, and commitment to lifelong education.

I've worked with athletes of all ages, from youth soccer players to collegiate lacrosse players and Masters-level equestrians.

My best clients have prevented ACL injuries; overcome back, knee, and shoulder pain; regained shoulder mobility; and strengthened their core while becoming significantly stronger and faster. Other clients have improved their sprint speed, vertical jump, and strength within weeks of working with me.

In college I trained over 50 U.S. Army cadets to pass the Physical Fitness Test over the course of 3 years. I founded my business in April 2013. Previously, I worked as the Director of Personal Training & Sports Performance at a Health Club and then as a Post-Rehabilitation Specialist.

Certifications & Education:
-NSCA-CSCS (NCCA Accredited)
-FMSC (Functional Movement Screen)
-B.S. in Kinesiology - Cum Laude, Texas A&M University
-Precision Nutrition Level 1 Coach
-Listed as a registered coach with Perform Better, FunctionalMovement.com, NSCA-lift.org, TRX, Battling Ropes, and IDEAFit.

I was the varsity co-captain of my high school wrestling team. Recently, I have competed in several amateur submission grappling tournaments. Both of these sports require intense physical conditioning and a strong foundation of athleticism.

My strength accomplishments include:

2.25X BW Deadlift
1.5X BW Bench Press
110lb Weighted Chinup
140lb Strict Overhead Press (80% BW)
Front & Back Lever (Gymnastics)
Perfect Score - U.S. Army PFT - Texas A&M Corps of Cadets

Every client begins with a detailed assessment. I'm a certified Functional Movement Screen (FMS) expert and use it to determine every athlete's injury risk.

Each training session begins working on soft tissue quality, mobility, core stability, and muscle activation for the rotator cuff and hips.

From there, we focus on explosive strength and speed before working on strength training. Sessions finish with sports-specific conditioning, if time allows. Otherwise athletes receive a program for off-day conditioning.

Client Reviews

I've had two sessions with Devin and he has been extremely helpful. He takes a very deliberate approach, including a full assessment in the first session which allowed him to create a customized plan for me. He demonstrates all the actions, particularly the proper way to stretch and warm up with a foam roller, and provides specific feedback and tips on proper form. Looking forward to my next session!

Devin started working with my 13 year old boy. I wasn't sure how to train him. Devin took him under his wings and started from the basics teaching him basic body weight movements and perfect form. He works great with kids!

As someone who has ridden horses my whole life, I understand the importance of keeping physically fit both for myself and to improve my riding. I've always been a very active person, but a year ago after an injury to my sacroiliac (SI) joint, I found myself unable to exercise at all, let alone ride a horse. After completing several months of physical therapy which left me feeling better, but still unable to exercise the way I always have, I found Devin Gray (Optimize Fitness & Performance). Through working a program that he tailored for my specific needs, I was able to recover 100% in a very short period of time. I have never felt better, stronger, and more flexible than I have in my entire life and have been able to return too all of the ativities I love. I cannot thank Devin enough for his help in achieving my fitness goals!
I have trained in many different gyms, large chain gyms as well as smaller private gyms, and I can honestly say that Devin is the most knowledgeable and dedicated trainer I have ever had. Devin worked with me to help me come back from an injury that left me unable to work out for months. All workouts are geared towards my individual fitness goals, and he goes above and beyond time spent in his facility, always providing helpful nutritional and training information constantly educating me. Devin helped me get back on track to reach my fitness goals.
As a life long competitive equestrian, I always understood the value of fitness and regular, correct exercises for the horses that I ride and compete, but it wasn’t until I reached middle age that I understood how much it could help my own riding skills and performance. I have worked with Personal Trainers for the last five years, but a change in circumstances brought me to Devin Gray in July 2013. Devin designed a progressive, always changing training program for me using kettlebells, bands and weighted medicine balls that has helped my competitive riding immensely! My training program with Devin has not only made me stronger, but it has enhanced my endurance, my body alignment, my balance on the horse and allows my legs, arms and core to work independently from each other which is key to riding horses correctly. Even my riding coach has noticed the difference in my fitness, strength and posture. My horses currently live out of state so I am not able to practice on my horses regularly, Devin’s program allows me to meet my horses at the competitions and walk in the show ring with a strong body and the confidence to compete. And as an added bonus, I received a “keep it up, your numbers are looking great” from my personal physician at my annual physical in November.
