David Braswell is a leader in both the sports performance and fitness industries. His entrepreneurial journey began in 2008 when he applied for and was later granted a U.S. Patent for an Outdoor Weight Training Platform. In 2009, he founded Outright Fitness & Performance with a singular vision: to share his passion and expertise with others through sustainable, time-tested methods.
With over a decade of dedicated service and leadership, David has become a trusted figure in the Austin area and beyond, known for his leadership, patience, passion, and positivity.
David’s personal journey in fitness and athletic development began long before Outright Fitness. His background spans martial arts, track and field, cross country, and boxing. Today, as an active Master’s athlete in track & field, David leads by example, inspiring those around him with his relentless pursuit of personal and professional growth. His personal accomplishments, including his U.S. Patent and service as a US Marine during Operation Enduring Freedom, speak to his resilience and dedication.
At the core of David’s philosophy is a belief that the journey to your goals is as important as the destination. He emphasizes that improving your quality of life, building character, maintaining a positive attitude, being intentional, having gratitude for the ups and downs, and overcoming adversity are just as crucial as any fitness metric or sports achievement.
David’s expertise spans a wide demographic, from adults with physical challenges from strokes to paraplegia, to world-class Olympians to everyday adults seeking to improve their quality of life. He has helped youth athletes earn athletic scholarships at prestigious institutions like Boston College, Baylor University, Oregon University, and others. Additionally, David has supported individuals in enhancing their quality of life through body composition improvement, race preparation, and overall fitness enhancement.
As a Master Trainer and assistant educator for Dynamax Medicine Ball, David also shares his knowledge with other professionals—he’s truly a trainer’s trainer.
David’s impact extends beyond the athletic arena. His passion for mentoring young people has led him to work in juvenile probation, volunteer as an AAU assistant track coach, and contribute to the African American Youth Harvest Foundation. His dedication to nurturing the next generation is evident in the lasting relationships he builds and the success stories that follow.
David’s expertise and reputation have led to collaborations with high-profile clients, including Robert Smith, Sam Rockwell, and Jeff Pierre.
For David, the rewards of his work are not just in the accolades but in the growth and success of his athletes and clients. Every victory, big or small, fuels his passion and reinforces his commitment to making a lasting impact in the lives of all the individuals he works with.
