Master Your Body
Learn how to stay fit for life
Hey, Coach Devin Gray here.
Both your health and your goals matter to me.
When we work together, I’ll create a fitness plan that teaches you how to get into great shape.
- You’ll learn how to strength train from an expert strength & conditioning coach. You’ll become stronger, faster, leaner, and more athletic.
- You’ll master the exercises that are the best fit for your unique body. Simply put, every body is different and not every exercise is the right fit.
- I’ll tailor each exercise to fit your ability, medical history, and goals. No cookie-cutter workouts here
(And no burpees, either) - You’ll lose fat and build lean muscle mass through guided exercise and nutrition coaching.
- Finally, you’ll learn to make fitness into a lifestyle – not just a workout you get through to burn calories.
Plus, I’ll keep you accountable and on track to achieve your fitness goals.

Hear From Real Clients
As someone who had barely lifted before, Devin covered all the basics and fixed any form issues I had.
I only worked with Devin for a few months, however, he gave me countless exercises and techniques I am still using to this day.
Who Is Coaching For?
I’ve coached over 10,000 personal training sessions since 2011.
These are some of my favorite people to coach:
- Beginners
- Injury Post-Rehabilitation
- Youth Sports Performance
1. Beginners Who Want to Learn How to Strength Train
Over the years, I’ve developed a system that works perfectly for teaching new lifters how to master the classic exercises.
Within just a few weeks, you’ll confidently be able to strength train on your own.
Every few weeks, you’ll learn new exercises and keep getting stronger.
I’ve coached beginners of all ages, from 13-year-old athletes wanting to bulk up to 73-year-old grandmothers looking to keep up with their grandkids. (In fact, that 73-year-old went on to compete in powerlifting.)
Why Strength Train?
Why do we focus so much on strength training at Optimize Fitness & Performance?
Simply put – strength training is the best way to permanently transform your body.
If you’re looking to lose fat and keep it off – strength training is the most effective type of exercise.
It builds lean muscle, which will boost your metabolism and help burn additional calories.
“Toning up” really means losing fat and building some muscle, and that’s what strength training does.
Most importantly – many of my clients discover that they enjoy strength training.
It becomes their new lifelong hobby, and that mindset is the real secret to getting in and staying in shape.
I came to Devin because I wanted to start getting stronger and I had no idea how to get started. I appreciated that Devin took the time to listen to my goals and help me think about achievements, like developing my first push up, dip and pull up.
2. People Who Want to Get Back
Into Shape After an Injury
Injury Post-Rehabilitation is one of my top specialties.
Learn how to workout pain-free, even with chronic injuries and joint pain.
All I ask is that you are under medical care or have finished treatment – like physical therapy or chiropractic care.
I’ve helped clients with:
- Lower back pain (spondylosis, herniated discs, bulging discs, arthritis, lumbar stress fractures, etc.)
- Knee pain (Osgood-Schlatter’s, patellofemoral pain, ACL reconstruction, torn meniscus, torn PCL)
- Hip pain (labrum tears, hip dysplasia, snapping hip syndrome)
- Shoulder pain (rotator cuff tendonitis, labrum tears, arthritis)
- And many other types of joint pain
I’m not a miracle worker and I don’t claim to be able to treat injuries. All I do is teach people how to get stronger and work around injuries, pain-free. Often, that’s good enough to get you feeling better and back in the gym with confidence.
Think of me as part of your medical team.
I’ll work with your physical therapist and doctor to collaborate on getting you back into great shape.
I’ve been injured and know just how frustrating it can be to bounce back. I’ve recovered from a hip labral tear, a herniated lumbar disc, shoulder tendonitis, golfer’s elbow, and a sprained Lisfranc ligament.
It’s made me a careful and knowledgeable coach. Despite my history of injuries, I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.
I want to help you get back into great shape and regain your physical confidence.

Member Spotlight: Maureen “Mo” McCabe Haughey
Meet Mo. Mo came back from hip dysplasia and a full hip replacement to walk pain-free, bench press 100lbs, and deadlift over 160lbs. She even took home a first place medal from a USAPL powerlifting meet!
I started working on with Devin in the fall of 2019 after a series of injuries from playing basketball, biking and weekend warrior activities. My goal was to get stronger to prevent the injuries that I was getting while being active. I went to his gym 2x a week and within a few months started seeing and feeling results.
Devin did a great job of assessing my strengths and weaknesses both before I started my program and during. The focus was on form and working around my injuries to start which I greatly appreciated.
I’ve managed to work up now to more advanced weight and exercises and am feeling better than I have in years.

3. Youth Sports Performance
I’ve worked with athletes from all sports and helped them excel on-and-off the field.
- Middle school athletes
- High school athletes
- Collegiate athletes, including NCAA scholarship recipients
Sports including:
- Wrestling (New England Tournament qualifiers)
- NCAAW Basketball (Boston University, Bryant, Endicott)
- Football
- Soccer (Hockomock League All-Star)
- Baseball (Wesleyan)
- Hockey
- Lacrosse
- Field Hockey (Wheaton)
Athletes learn how to lift, improve power, run faster, and become more resistant to injury. We also work on sports nutrition.
The athletes I coach go on to be leaders both on the field and in the weight room at their schools.
Hear From Real Clients
I was recently told by a doctor that the training I did with Devin most likely saved me from a season ending injury.
I could not ask for more out of a personal trainer or thank him enough for getting me ready for college lacrosse, and most importantly, improving my overall athletic performance.
