David Beares, Neighbor

David is owner and lead trainer of the 39 Minute Workout.  We train at Coreworks Fitness studio on Rumsey Rd. in Columbia, MD. 

Using the kettlebell primarily, we help people shed pounds, regain their flexibility and mobility, and radically improve their health.  Classes are all done as small group sessions, and our community is growing. 

Some of what we offer at 39 Minute Workout- Group fitness classes, nutrition and health consults, acupuncture, grocery store tours, and group nutrition support.  We've have many clients drop upwards of 25+lbs in our programs. 

David is a certified Russian Kettlebell Challenge (RKC) trainer throughDragondoor. An RKC is the most intensive kettlebell training on the market. This is truly the gold standard for kettlebell certification in the USA. Trust no imposters!

David completed his Masters in Acupuncture at Tai Sophia Institute in Maryland. The program included a three year course of study, along with extensive clinical training. David completed nearly 200 treatments while in school, along with 60 hours of treating in a drug rehab clinic in Baltimore. David is an assistant faculty member at Tai Sophia and a supervisor in the student clinic.

Prior to his acupuncture studies, David studied environmental politics at theUniversity of Maryland. Seeking work that combined his love of the earth and his desire to serve the community, he worked for almost two years at a wilderness camp for incarcerated youth in the mountains of Georgia. He then hiked the entire 2168 mile Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine in 2001. Building on this diverse set of experiences, it was a natural progression for him to serve the community's health needs in the treatment room. These experiences have enabled David to bring patience and wisdom to his clients.
