Robert Dao
Personal Trainer
Endurance Sport Specialist
I grew up in the DFW area and made my way to Austin in 2014 by way of Texas A&M, where I graduated with a degree in Applied Exercise Physiology. I have been coaching and training ever since! Growing up, I always loved sports; I played lots of soccer and basketball as a kid and loved to watch the Dallas Mavericks on TV (I still do). As a teenager, I ran cross country and track in high school, then competed for the Texas A&M Triathlon club team throughout college. In the years since graduating, I spent a majority of my time racing triathlons before transitioning back to long distance running, now focusing on ultra distance trail racing. I currently live in the Cedar Park/Leander area with my wonderful wife, our new baby girl, and our 2 dogs!

ACE Fitness Nutrition Expert
In the several years I've been training, it has been my pleasure to work with a wide variety of clients ranging from general everyday fitness to highly competitive athletes. I've worked extensively with 1 on 1 clients, but have spent quite a bit of time working with large and small groups as well. My training philosophy has always been to mold the training plan to the athlete or client, not the other way around. Your background and goals are as individual as you are and your training should reflect that. No matter what your goals are, I make it the number one priority to get you there in the best way possible for you. Whether it's in gym personal training, training off-site at your garage gym or team practices, or online coaching/training plans, let's make your goals a reality.
