The Coach
Meet Coach D (Darryl NavarretE)
AFAA Certified · Precision Nutrition Level 1 - Training/Coaching Since 2012
Darryl fell in love with weight training in 2007, starting with weightlifting for baseball under bodybuilder Ishmael Mohammed. What hooked him wasn’t just the training — it was that, unlike team sports, where you can do everything right and still lose because of someone else’s mistake, physique and strength training is entirely on you. What you put in is what you get out.
While building DNav Fitness, Darryl has also been coached under some of the most respected names in the fitness industry — from Team Scivation to 3DMJ’s Eric Helms to Team Stacking Plates (Chester Rockwell & Addie Pins) — sharpening his approach to training and nutrition over nearly two decades, and learning to coach enhanced and natural athletes alike.
That combination of mentors is where DNav Fitness’s coaching style comes from: an AFAA Certified approach built on flexible dieting (macros/IIFYM + meal plans) and individualized programming — no crash diets, no cookie-cutter plans.
Whether you’re just getting started and want to build real, lasting habits, or you’re further along and ready to push toward a specific goal — muscle gain, strength, fat loss — Coach D builds your plan one target at a time, and keeps building from there.
If you’re ready to put in the work, let’s get started.
