Born To Be Wild

I contacted Dave as I like his holistic approach to training. Having had two shoulder impingement surgeries over 2 years (same shoulder) I had become very limited with my exercise and was wary of doing anything in the gym, consequently I wasn't doing much in strength training. Dave listened to my concerns and what I wanted to achieve and came up with a plan that now has me using my body in a way that will help prevent any further injuries, including the shoulder or he gives me an alternative if I find it too painful. He is now helping me improve my core strength and legs in preparation for a 6 day hike for the Camino Way in June. I feel with his support I will be able to achieve this without further injuries - thanks Dave :) More...

Dave is a perfect personal trainer for me — always alert to my faultlines, always inventive at opening up my body to new strains, new efforts, new achievements. Not to mention some old supplenesses returning, this time with greater core strength. Perfect. More...

Dave has been my PT for over 2 years and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. I’ve had years of difficulty with a weak lower back and recurring flare-ups which have made it difficult to improve my overall strength and fitness.

When I started training with Dave he showed me a completely different approach to the gym and fitness in general and I love it. He adopts a holistic approach and works on a “healthy mind,healthy body “ mindset which clicks with my own mentality and for me it just works really well.

I have learned so much about my back and glute muscles in my time with Dave and have achieved exercises and strength I would previously have never thought possible. Often the simplest moves are the most difficult and Dave always manages to strip exercise back to the simple basics which gives me more lasting results. He is always innovative with his sessions and makes them challenging and enjoyable! More...

I've been working with Dave since March, with him providing nutritional advice and one-to-one training sessions and I can not recommend him more highly.

I choose Dave as I knew the traditional gym environment was not for me and although weight loss was a motivation to start I also wanted to form good habits and learn about how to be healthier.

Dave has provided dietary advice which has helped with portion control, eating the right food to feel full for longer, feeling less tired throughout the day and no more stomach aches. He provided simple advice for changes to my diet but it made it easier to stick to.

In the training sessions Dave has used a variety of exercises but with a focused on my areas of weakness (such as legs). He also focuses on form and technique . I've learnt so much a long the way and I always come away from sessions energised.

I started with Dave as I was getting married but will be carrying on with it after my wedding as I enjoy it so much.

Being a slightly overweight male with very little interest in looking after my body when I was younger and athletic I found myself as stiff as a board. Fortunately Dave has helped me become more supple and allowed me to play sports back to a level that I want to More...
