Breakthroughs
Davis Page grew up as an athlete. He was the
only four sport athlete in high school (football, basketball, baseball, and track) and went on the play three
years of college baseball at Tyler Junior College and
Abilene Christian University. He then went on the play
two years of independent professional baseball in the
states and 6 months overseas in Australia. Since then,
Davis worked odd jobs until he achieved his Personal
Training Certification. Davis now trains at a gym in
Hurst, Texas and also runs the athletic department for
the City of Watauga. He began modeling at the beginning of this year. He did his first shoot in March of
2014 and Davis’ career really began to take off. He has
done several shoots, a commercial, and a workout video
in that time.
In those span of year/s, who was your inspiration in modeling/fitness business? “Suzanna Sutton
was the first trainer I ever worked with. Her drive and
determination to be great led me to want the same thing
for myself. Her mentor at the time, Brett Buckles, was
also a big part of me becoming the trainer that I am
today. They both played huge roles in my early success and my development as fitness professional”, the
professional trainer shared. When you were growing
up, what was your goal/s or perhaps dream? “I always
wanted to play professional baseball growing up. From
the time I was born, I had good hand eye coordination
and my parents knew that my brothers and I would be
athletic. I did get the chance to play professionally but
not with an affiliated organization.” What was/were the
experience/s when you first start your first ever modeling gig and fitness business? “Initially, I really just
wanted to do a photo shoot to get myself on paper to
help with my personal training business. I dieted very
hard, watching my carbohydrate intake for approximately 6 weeks. I always had a good base of muscle
underneath my initial body fat. The diet was the key to
my success. It was a tough first experience but I fell in
love with the meal plan and the lifestyle after that experience”, he recalled.
As a personal trainer and a fitness model, we
cannot deny that schedules are sometime pretty rough
and hectic. How do you manage your time with you
busy schedule? “I am very fortunate to have two of the
best jobs I could ask for. I run my personal training
business from 5:00-11:00 AM every morning. I then
proceed to my Parks and Recreation position with the
City of Watauga. They issued me a flex schedule which
allows me to get 40 a week when I have time. The
majority of the programs I manage take place in the
afternoon and evenings. It makes things very easy to
manage my time”, Davis shared.
Of course, as a personal trainer, we have to practice what we preach. We have to have balance and consistency. How do you maintain your physical physique?
“My schedule is probably a little different than most. I
do physique training six days a week with my trainer,
Brett Buckles, each day focusing on a different muscle
group. I also do power lifting 1 day a week to keep my
legs and core solid. I also do some sort of plyometric
exercise or high intensity interval training every day.
This could include anything from my own plyo routines,
stadium bleacher sprints, interval training on the stair
master, long distance running intervals, etc. I am on a
meal plan year round that keeps me lean, cheating once
a week ty
