Start with your actual week
Decide where you can train consistently, how much time you have and what you need help with. A technically impressive program is not useful if the location or schedule makes it impossible to follow.
Compare the things that matter
- Relevant experience: ask about clients with similar starting points, not just famous names or dramatic before-and-after photos.
- Credentials and scope: verify any claimed certification with its issuing organization and ask how limitations are handled. A trainer is not a substitute for a clinician.
- The actual coach: confirm who coaches sessions, how they communicate and how progress changes your program.
- Setting: in-home coaching offers privacy and less travel; a gym may provide more equipment. Group classes offer a different experience than private one-on-one coaching.
- Total commitment: get session length, frequency, travel or facility costs and cancellation terms in writing. Compare like-for-like, not just a monthly headline.
Where Forget The Gym fits

Read how in-home training works or the Las Vegas private-training overview. If you want large group classes, bargain drop-in access or medical treatment, look for the provider designed for that need.
Read reviews for context, not a promised outcome
Look for specific accounts of communication, coaching and consistency. Check the original source and remember that results depend on the individual. This guide is written by the provider, not an independent ranking of Las Vegas businesses.
A useful consultation leaves you with a choice
Bring your questions and ask for current terms. You should understand the service, the cost and whether it suits you — without pressure, invented scarcity or a guaranteed transformation.
Questions before you start
Who is the best personal trainer in Las Vegas for me?
There is no single best trainer for everyone. Compare relevant experience, verifiable credentials, communication, training setting, total cost and a schedule you can sustain. A consultation should help you decide whether the coach fits your needs, not pressure you into a package.
What should I ask before hiring a personal trainer?
Ask who actually coaches each session, how training is adapted to your history, what progress is recorded, whether outside trainers are allowed at your preferred facility, and what all fees and cancellation terms are. Request evidence for credentials and relevant testimonials.
When is Forget The Gym a good fit?
Consider Dave Vaughan if you want private one-on-one coaching in Las Vegas, Summerlin or Henderson, including in-home or on-site sessions. Discuss your goals and logistics on a free 15-minute Fit Call. If you need a large group class, medical treatment or a guaranteed outcome, this is not that offer.
Should I choose in-home training or a gym?
In-home training can reduce travel and provide privacy; a gym may offer more equipment and a different setting. Compare access rules, space, equipment, travel arrangements and overall cost. Choose the setting you can use consistently rather than assuming one is always better.
An existing client’s perspective
“Dave is a great trainer and an even better human. He really knows his stuff and if you're looking to make lasting change he is your guy.”
