David was very helpful during the months I worked with him, guiding me in the best way possible towards my weight loss and improved health goals. He tailored each session to my own needs, especially the kickboxing sessions, which were great as a work out and a way to improve my technique. Highly recommended! More...

David is a great PT. I couldn’t have asked for better when I was recovering from a shoulder injury. Highly recommend him.

I have been lucky to have David of Fitness Renaissance as my Personal Trainer for the past few years. I began with no knowledge or experience of fitness training and David patiently motivated and coached me. His positive outlook and continued commitment to make sessions varied and fun have given me the confidence to develop my fitness far beyond what I expected. His wide-ranging experience allows him to tailor a mix of strength, balance, conditioning, coordination and movement into my sessions - giving an all round benefit to health and wellness that’s specific to me. I’m now exploring and enjoying other fitness and sports activities which I wouldn’t have done without the huge boost I have received from training with David. More...

I worked with David for 3 months, and it was by far the most enjoyable and effective fitness course I have undertaken. Most importantly, he changed the way I think about fitness activity, meaning that I have found it easy to stay motivated, and have been working out just as frequently and effectively since our sessions ended. David listened to the things I enjoyed doing in everyday life and designed fitness activities around them. He also trained me in a new repertoire of gym-based exercises that have radically improved my core strength and flexibility. Highly recommended! More...

Wanted to gain some strength and better understanding of powerlifting and how to properly stretch muscles before a workout. I had 6 sessions with David who was very helpful and friendly, I had one session a week but he always kept an update with me during the week to see how training and diet was going. Overall very good experience. More...

I spent about a year with David to supplement my water polo training and improve my strength both in and out of the pool. The sessions were challenging but fun and he always made sure they were varied so I never got bored of them . I saw massive improvements throughout the training and they helped me to take my performance in water polo to the next level. I would say David played a big part in my selection for the national team and British champs qualification. Although I no longer work with David, the lifting techniques and approach to gym work he taught me still very much resonates in my training. Would highly recommend him to a complete novice, an experienced gym-goer or someone like myself who is looking to develop some functional strength to aid their sport performance. More...

Last year I started participating in David’s mixed group Park/Play sessions. Before then, I had never done any specific movement training.

I attended with no expectation, and I was immediately hooked; each two hour session is dynamic and well thought out. It involves movement games and functional training requiring some weekend mindfulness delivered in a positive and friendly environment outdoors.
It really is a cool way to spend a Sunday morning if you’re wanting a fresh, innovative approach to get moving.

Time flies when you’re having fun - and your muscles will remind you of that fun for many days to come! Thanks David More...

I worked with David for six months and during that time I improved every element of my workout posture and technique. David listens attentively to your aims and goals and tailors his strategy perfectly to help deliver these for you. Working with David was insightful, challenging and hugely rewarding and he has taught me so much in such a short space of time. David devised excellent weekly workout plans and answered any questions I had with great detail! I would highly recommend David as a PT if you want someone who will deliver results, challenge you and who will make the sessions both rewarding and fun. Best trainer around! Simple as. More...

Great PT. David classes are a mix of fun and hard work and the recordings are just an extra tool for you to keep up the right posture even on your own. Just the best you can find around! Highly recommended :) More...

David is a hugely talented PT who really listens to understand your goals and limitations and tailors sessions and plans accordingly. He's fun to work with and, thanks to him, I achieved a lot in a short space of time. I'm looking forward to working with him again! More...

Working with David is superb. He tailors his strategy and methods to your specific needs, is encouraging and sets goals whilst always recognising that we are all only human.

We have worked hard on strength training technique, whilst also paying attention to many other forms of complimentary exercise.

Thoroughly recommended. More...

I have been training with David for a year now. I have had many personal trainers in the past but David is exceptional, the best I have ever come across and I'm glad I found him. The sessions are always inventive and fun and I look forward to each one. He is a professional. If you are serious about getting into shape and staying that way there is no-one better. More...

I’ve trained with David from Fitness Renaissance for over three years. I started out with some general PT sessions in which David introduced me to a wide variety of different fitness and strength and conditioning training techniques. By exploring what inspired me in these initial sessions David helped me discover a passion for Olympic Weightlifting. He’s since coached me from complete novice to lifting in competitions. The journey has been transformative both physically and mentally - I’m stronger, fitter, more focused, more confident and more resilient. As well as learning the art of the lifts I’ve also built knowledge about my body, the power of the right nutrition (working with Silvia from Fitness Renaissance) and how to manage my training sessions.

What makes David special as a trainer is his genuine passion to find what makes you tick. He’s continually challenging himself to build his own knowledge and skills as a coach and he brings these new ideas and energy to each session. He’s also 100% professional - organised, reliable and a jolly nice chap to be around - even when he’s making you squat horribly heavy weights! More...

I’ve had many trainers. All good except for one. David however is head and shoulders above the rest. Huge attention to detail. Very professional. Highly motivated. You even get an occasional smile. I moved out of London and the only thing I miss is training with David. Someone I now count as a friend. More...
