In this episode of From Vision to Creation, we sit down for an interview with David Barta, diving deep into his remarkable transformation—from aspiring professional baseball player to reality TV star, personal trainer, and now co-owner of a gym in Los Angeles.
David opens up about the devastating injury that ended his baseball career, his identity crisis that followed, and the mental health challenges he faced during his lowest points. With honesty and vulnerability, he shares how he found new purpose through personal training, building his own gym (the “Dave Cave”), launching a fitness app, and starting a meal prep business—all while working up to 75 hours a week.
We also explore his time on Paradise Hotel and Ex on the Beach, what it’s really like training Hollywood’s biggest stars, and why helping others transform their lives is what fuels him most.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost, or afraid to take that next step—this episode will inspire you to keep going, bet on yourself, and chase your vision with everything you’ve got.
