DAVID LYONS was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2006 at the age of 47. A bodybuilder and former fitness center owner, David chose to fight his MS head-on through bodybuilding. 

 

He founded the MS Bodybuilding Challenge in 2008, and in 2009, at age 50, he competed in his first bodybuilding contest with MS, winning a Most Inspirational trophy.

 

In 2013 David received the Health Advocate of the Year Award alongside fitness icon Lou Ferrigno. 

In 2015, bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger honored him with the Health Advocate Lifetime Achievement Award. 

 

David is here today as he has created a unique fitness website for the MS, chronic conditions, and aging communities under his OptimalBody brand called the OptimalBody Training Program. 

 

This interactive platform educates and trains people in his one-of-a-kind Training Methods that create neuro-plasticity, muscle fiber activation, and brain-to-muscle reconnection. 

 

OptimalBody has been voted The Most Comprehensive Fitness Program in the world three years in a row.
