WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING!

Testimonials

“Dave is an extremely knowledgeable and motivational trainer. He is educated, informed and experienced and constantly impresses me with his knowledge of the body, nutrition, health, fitness and exercise. Thanks to Dave, I have never lost my motivation and have met all my goals. Dave has helped me to achieve so much and I feel more confident, fitter and healthier as a result of his personal training sessions".

Annabelle, Teacher.

"I started training with Dave a year or so ago and now, well into my
63^rd year, I am probably as fit as I was in my 40’s. His approach suits
me well as it is less about macho CV workouts, and more about a
technically and well-considered set of exercises. He is a very able and
knowledgeable trainer, who has quietly moved me forwards, and has given
me additionally the confidence and ability to undertake a trek in
Patagonia later this year. I always look forward to, and enjoy, my
training sessions – and feel good about myself afterwards. Thanks Dave!
Keith - retired"

"I decided to work with Dave because I was tired and had little energy. This had been going on for a couple of years. I did the metabolic type test and the results showed that I had been eating completely the wrong diet for my body. I received an eating plan from Dave that was easy to follow and even allowed me some foods that I thought were meant to be not so good for me. After 2 weeks, I no longer felt like I need to snack all the time because my meals actually fill me up! My energy is improved, which means that my gym sessions are more productive. As a bonus I have also managed to lose some extra pounds.The only regret I have is that I didn't find this approach earlier as it would have stopped me from going on all those fad diets!"

Kelly, Teacher

"I would like to thank you for all the information I received with your initial consultation.  When I contacted you, I felt as if there was no hope and I would eventually die.  After reading the information you shared with me.  I began to see hope.  Since our initial conversation, I have come to the realization of how what we eat, the stressors we have in our life can indeed affect our health and well being.  I am currently changing my diet and have begun to read and listen to more positive motivating literature.  I can now see and feel my dreams beginning to come true.  I cannot began to thank you for the help and enlightening information you gave me.  I will continue to research the effects of stress on the body and try to give others the knowledge I myself have received.  I will certainly recommend your web site to others so that they too can began their healing process.  Again, thank you for starting me on my road to recovery".

Sincerely,
Arlene Chavez

“With every session with Dave, I noticed the drastic improvement in my posture and the pain in my back, which I thought I would never overcome, has now disappeared completely. I'm really grateful to Dave for helping me through."

A PERSONAL NOTE FROM DAVE...

The main reason I choose to do what I do for a living is that I know what it’s like to feel down – very down. I didn’t like it when I felt this way, so I love helping people who are not looking and feeling as they would like.

Over the course of three years or so, I found my life and health diverging from the ideals I had set in my mind. I was tired, stressed, my eyes were deteriorating and I was drinking too much. My business was failing, I was nowhere near where I wanted to be in life and I was in a lot of debt.

Why am I telling you this? Well, my own life experiences have taught me that, no matter where you are in life, you can turn things round. I managed to grit my teeth and turn things round by following the principles I now teach to my clients and would love to teach you.

When I wasn’t feeling great and did some lab testing on myself, I found that my adrenal glands were not working properly as a result of stress and that I had a digestive infection called H pylori, which was affecting my mood, sleep patterns and ability to digest food properly. Discovering all this was a catalyst for me to roll up my sleeves, address all my problems and get things back on track.

Having been down at rock bottom, I now find it so much easier to empathise with my clients’ situations, irrespective of what they tell me. Maybe they hate their job, feel they have no time to look after themselves or have multiple stresses in their lives. Everyone has a story and it’s the ability to listen to these stories without judgement that has helped me become so successful as a Personal Trainer and Lifestyle Coach.

The difficult times also taught me that there are a variety of factors that can lead to people’s challenges. Some are physical, such as lack of, or even too much, exercise poor diet, alcohol or drugs whereas other people are struggling with emotional or even spiritual issues. Any of these factors can contribute to the situation but they are all there to be conquered.

My life now has everything I want – I’m full of energy & feel great; I work hard, love my job and business, I travel extensively and am recording music in the studio on a regular basis. I am fit and very strong for my body weight and try to set an example for everyone with whom I work.

It is my heartfelt desire to help others achieve the same level of happiness and success as I enjoy. Exercise, nutrition and lifestyle coaching are key elements of the process because without a healthy body, it is simply not possible to have a healthy mind and without a healthy mind, finding happiness and fulfilment is a huge challenge.

WORKING WITH ME IS UNIQUE!

On my own personal journey I encountered many roadblocks to my health and personal development. It is my hope that I can pass on everything I have learned to you so that you may feel as great as I do.

1. I Listen to you!

"Many attempts to communicate are nullified by saying too much." Robert Greenleaf

I was given two ears and only one mouth, so I regard listening as the most important part of the communication process. I will listen to as you tell me about your circumstances and what you want to achieve in our time working together.

I fully appreciate that none of us are the same and whatever your situation I will do my utmost to empathise and create a program that works for you and your circumstances.

It is then my job to educate and coach you as to the quickest, safest and most effective route to success but, of course, you need to be enjoying your sessions as well. After all, exercise isn’t interesting unless you’re interested!

2. Setting Your Goals

"All successful people have a goal. No one can get anywhere unless he knows where he wants to go and what he wants to be or do." Norman Vincent Peale

Goals are the object of your effort and a means of focusing your effort. Your goals and objectives are understandably very important to you and also to me. They provide the framework on which we can measure your progress. We’ll go through a goal-setting exercise that I guarantee you will be completely different from goal setting exercises you may have undertaken previously.

Just to give you a clue, writing your goals down increases your chances of achieving the goals or “making the change” by 1100% I can testify that this is true from my own experiences with goal setting and those of my clients!

3. Assessing & Identifying Your Needs

“A program can only be as effective as the assessment on which it’s based.”

Before we start your exercise training and lifestyle coaching program, I conduct a comprehensive, paper-based assessment as well as a one hour physical assessment to identify postural issues, muscle imbalance and spinal curves. Most people find this process really interesting!

If you are not moving towards your goals with your exercise program, I can also conduct a number of simple and non-invasive laboratory assessments to look at hormone balance, digestive function, parasites, nutrient deficiencies, energy production and levels of toxicity.

If you have imbalances in your body’s chemistry, your progress may be slowed down, so it can be important to check some of these things out. Likewise, if you’re not moving towards your goals as we’d hope and expect, these tests can provide vital information that can help us remove roadblocks.

4. Reviewing & Refining

“Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing ‘til it gets there” Josh Billings

It’s great to sit down every few weeks to review your progress. We must ensure that you’re moving towards your goals at all times and that you’re feeling great about your program, training and life in general!

I also, of course, value your feedback and any suggestions you may have on how I can improve my service.
