Hi, I am Dalton Schmidt, an experienced Personal Trainer that recently moved to from NYC to Dallas to build my own Independent Training Business!

My approach blends the science of exercise with the art of coaching: precise form, steady progression, genuine connection, and building confidence and knowledge that lasts a lifetime.

My approach to training is to always meet my clients on their current level. Whether you’re building strength, improving body composition, or chasing new performance milestones, I’ll create a plan that’s smart, sustainable, and personal to you.

I began my training career in New York City after leaving a software development career to pursue my passion for fitness and helping others. Working in NYC gave me experience working with a diverse clientele and training environments.

At DAL Training, my goal is simple: to Develop an Active Life — one that’s strong, confident, and built to last.

I'm offering competitive pricing while I get my business and reputation established in the Dallas area. Reach out for a consult and to book your first session!

In-Person Training

Train together, in real time.

In-Person Training gives you hands-on coaching, detailed form guidance, and ongoing education in every session.

We’ll meet at Sequoia Training Club—a professional, private gym with top-tier equipment—or I can travel to you within a 10–15 mile radius of the Design District in Dallas.

Sessions are dynamic, engaging, and genuinely fun—whether it’s one-on-one, with a partner, or in a small group. You’ll also get structured programming for your solo workouts, plus the accountability and precision that come from working side-by-side.

Train on your own, but never alone.

Remote Coaching gives you custom workouts, form feedback, and weekly check-ins to keep you consistent.

You’ll learn how to train effectively, understand your body, and build confidence in the process. My goal is to guide, educate, and support you every step of the way.
