As a serial gym joiner (having joined 6 all in all) and going only twice a year whilst growing a belly, I never thought I would actually enjoy fitness until I was recommended to Dave by one of my clients. He completely changed my attitude towards fitness and training. Suddenly working out was enjoyable, challenging and constantly varying in approach. I have gone from making excuses not to go to the gym to getting upset if I miss a session. Not only that, the results speak for themselves as my clients constantly mention how fresh, lean and healthy I am looking. I continue to recommend DaveÕs services to the people around me.

I heard about Dave through word of mouth; always the ideal way I think. As a performer one should always look ones best - there's no such thing as a fat opera singer with horns anymore! Moreover, my costumes seemed to be getting skimpier and skimpier which is what compelled me to make a change. I've been with Dave for nearly five months and I couldn't be happier with the results. He didn't just give me some fad diet and impossible gym routine but a change in lifestyle and programmes that were easy to follow yet demanding. Seeing the transformation in the mirror kept me going back to the gym time after time, not to mention the exclamations of delight and envy from friends and family, four of whom are now working with Dave too.
The "Fletcher Factor" kicked in just as the hot weather arrived and it was then I realised how much more confident I felt about my body, not to mention the effects it had on my stamina during sometimes athletic rehearsal sessions. I have absolute confidence in Dave's qualifications and knowledge of the body, and through his advice I really know what's going on with mine. I'm a happier and much healthier person since starting with Dave, from whom I have learnt many practical lifestyle skills that I know will stand me in good stead in the years to come.

I contacted Dave after attending one of his seminars. I heard him talk about his system of assessment and programme design. I felt like I'd hit a rut with my own training. Repeated injuries were preventing me from sport participation at times, and I was feeling a general lack of direction in my own training coupled with the awareness that I'd done very little focused strength work for myself.
Results-wise, I have increased my body strength overall - both upper body and lower body and core. This has had a knock on effect to my running, cycling and swimming - I'm performing all with much greater ease and improved technique. In addition a persistent knee problem has vanished and I have been able to increase my speeds and endurance without any changes to my training volume. The training programme seems to hit the mark each time and my body seems to be responding to it very well.
As a personal trainer myself, I am looking at my own clients' imbalances with new eyes, and re-evaluating the way in which I progress their training. Seeing results in myself renews my own motivation to constantly evaluate their training goals and to ensure they are on track.
I would highly recommend Dave to anyone serious about getting results.

I've been training with Dave since August 2004. The results have been staggering! I have been training on my own my entire life, and until I met Dave, I thought I was relatively fit, however, kickboxing and gym work with Dave has taken my endurance, strength, muscle tone and flexibility to another level. I feel leaner, faster and more powerful than I have my entire life. Dave's ability to motivate and his kickboxing expertise are second to none; on top of that, he is one of the better people I know!

Seeing the weight-loss and fitness benefits my husband had gained from working with Dave, I decided to sign up for personal training sessions too. I had been suffering from a long-term shoulder injury and was desperate to return to full fitness but anxious about re-injuring my shoulder. In our initial consultation, Dave assessed the extent of my shoulder and any prior injuries, listened to my fitness goals and designed a fantastic programme that had me back to full fitness very quickly. I have been working with Dave since 2005 and he constantly adapts my exercise programme so I continue to progress in terms of cardio-vascular fitness and body tone. Also, I really enjoy my sessions in the gym with Dave; he somehow manages to push me to reach new levels of achievement and make it fun at the same time."

During Dave's time at Barbican, he took the responsibility of training our personal trainers in boxing in martial arts. He took one to one and group sessions every week and soon enough we were generating significant amounts of Personal training revenue through this new skill base that Dave had developed within the team. Dave's fitness and boxing module was rolled out to all 47 clubs in the UK over a 12 month period. Dave is a top class presenter with great communication and coaching skills. He was a large part of the success that Virgin Active had with its Personal Training business.

I have been training with Dave since October 2004. During that time my fitness has improved dramatically and continues to improve. Dave continually pushes me to greater effort with a varied and interesting series of work-outs which are always tough but achievable. I will be 60 this year and my training objective is to stay as fit as possible for as long as possible. Working with Dave has helped me achieve this - in fact when I had my annual medical last month all of the indicators matched those of someone 20 years younger. That's a real tribute to my trainer!"
