I have been exercising under David's supervision for over 12 months and it's been the longest time I've ever stuck with an exercise program and enjoyed it. Dave runs a professional service which has changed my body and improved my fitness.

I'd Like To Tell You A True Story About One Of My Clients, Her name is Kirsty.
Kirsty works long hours as a lawyer and wants to change her body and health as she was told by her doctor that she was pre-diabetic.
Her lack of fitness has starting affecting her life.
Her work clothes are getting too tight and she refuses to go up another size again. She feels lethargic and trapped in a rut...She just doesn't seem to have the energy she once had!
Her eating has gotten out of control and now she's noticed that she's started drinking a glass or two of wine each night to help wind down after a stressful day at work (sound familiar?)
She knows that she needs to do something about her situation but she doesn't know what will really work.
After searching around for some sort of solution she decided to join the gym......
But, after one week of going every day she starts to miss the odd session until one day she final realises
....that she hasn't been there in 3 MONTHS! :(
The gym manager calls her one day to wish her a happy birthday and she ends up cancelling her membership right then over the phone!
After all this wasted time and she actually manages to GAIN an extra 2 kilos. *Sigh*
Then she tries the shakes.
(Yep - the ones that taste like powered milk and artificial sweetener)
One for breakfast, one for lunch.......... aaaand....she has a Whopper Cheese after lunch because she becomes so damned hungry!
She lasts about two weeks on those. (She does manage to lose 1/2 kilo) but then she starts to notice those little bits of jiggly skin flapping around when she waves to her friends. Yikes!
Desperate to become a Lean-Mean-Fighting-Machine she next decides to get a personal trainer.
She hires a brand new, freshly qualified 'professional' who has just completed a 6 week intensive fitness course online....
(Yes! You can become a fully qualified personal trainer nowadays quicker than you can learn to drive....)
Her new trainer Shelly, keeps telling her to pick up heavier and heavier weights until one day she feels something in her back...
- go 'POP'!
Shelly feels awkward about the incident and starts cancelling on Kirsty at the last minute until finally she just stops texting and never shows up again..... *Sigh*
Kirsty now has flabby arms, a twinge in her back and still has at least 10 kilos of extra body-fat to get rid of.
H-E-L-P!
I know that you probably have a similar story of your own and I know how frustrating it can be to get the right advice and support when trying to make a positive change to your life.
I promise you that this is the last time you'll have to feel lost and uncertain about what to do.
You may have body-fat that just won't shift or, you might be recovering from having children a few years ago (and had gestational diabetes), or you might be living an unhealthy sedentary lifestyle that is making you feel unhappy and worried about your future and have been told that you are now diabetic...
Whatever your situation and fitness goal, I can assure you that you have come to the right place.
