Daniel
I have been training with David for a year with the goal of building muscle. From the beginning he has created personalised workout trainings and guiding me through the technique and adapting the plan as I progressed. He is always approachable, friendly, encouraging and professional. More...

David is an exceptional personal trainer - friendly and unintimidating to train with while taking a methodical, organised and form-focussed approach to the training itself. He listens to my goals and takes on board my feedback, and I’ve found him to be an invaluable support as I build back following a knee injury. I would recommend him to anyone - from those new to personal training through to those like me who have trained with other PTs in the past. More...

I've been training with David for over 3 years. His sessions are well prepared and carefully structured. I'm a naturally lazy and somewhat reluctant gym-goer but David pushes me effectively whilst always offering helpful guidance and encouragement. He has a quieter, thoughtful style which I appreciate and is very focused in our sessions - nothing gets past him! I recommend David without hesitation. More...

David is attentive and patient. He supervises my exercises and adjusts my motions and postures in detail. He also tailors my training plans into manageable pieces to ensure my bodybuilding process is progressive.
Richard
David takes great care to personalise the training programme and makes sure you keep to it in a firm but encouraging way. He is excellent at explaining everything . Very calm and easy to approach too. More...

I have MS and would expect, by now, to be unable to walk any distance. David, who has been training me for about five years, has kept me fit and strong to the extent that I am still able to hike in mountainous regions. David is an excellent personal trainer. More...
Nick O’Mahony
David is an excellent personal trainer. The plan I’ve been on has helped me build muscle and lose weight simultaneously! We mix up the plan every 8-12 weeks to keep it interesting. David always helps to improve form, technique and give advice on how to continuously improve! I would definitely recommend training with David to anyone serious about getting long term results!

Danae
I have been training with David for 5 years now. He is excellent and I unreservedly recommend him. I look forward to each session. Each session is challenging, focused, fun and adapted to my different needs over time, including during my pregnancy and during maternity. I would also unreservedly recommend him for those that have had injuries. More...

I had been training on my own for years spending 5 days a week in the gym without achieving any noticeable gains. After a couple of knee surgeries, I decided to invest in training with David. With David's science based and structured approach to training, I have made huge progress going from barely being able to perform a bodyweight squat post surgery to achieving heavy lifts with good form and significantly increasing my range of motion. David always manages to keep the programs varied and interesting. I’m 38 and in better shape than in my 20's. More...
How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Taking the time to assess and prescribe exercises which are best suited to an individual’s unique anatomy, injury/training history & general movement capacity allows for not only efficient strength and muscular development but also improved movement quality and reduced incidences of injury. Structuring these exercises into a tailored programme which is easy to follow, time efficient and specific to the individuals training environment (equipment access & gym layout) makes it easier for clients to train on their own. When this is coupled with effective client support, trainees can not only expect to make great physical progress but also help build autonomy, confidence and an improved relationship with exercise and movement in general.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Focusing on what’s important, being consistent and learning to enjoy the process
What do you love most about your job?
Continuing to learn and figuring how to best apply new concepts into practice.
Meeting interesting new people, creating rapport, and seeing them build competence and confidence in the gym.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to have more control over the process, so I could make decisions based on what I thought would be best for the client without having to navigate bureaucracy and politics.
