Testimonials

"It's inspiring to find someone who not only takes my fitness goals seriously, but also as personally I as I do. David takes time to understand what I want from a workout program and continually sets new goals and pushes me to achieve them. He always varies exercises so my strength is integrated and I never get bored. Training with David has truly changed my body, and knowing David and changed my entire attitude toward keeping in shape."

“I first began training with David in June of 2006. I was preparing to perform my one-man show of The Godfather and was not anywhere close to being physically ready to perform all the acrobatic requirements of the show; an hour and a half of vaulting over tables, bars and chairs while recreating the film on stage. Through David’s program and his unique approach, I quickly advanced to where I needed to be for the two month run, After that, everything changed. Over the next three years, I endured four spinal operations, including two double fusions, front and back, at the C-5 through C-7 level in my neck. The recovery was long and discouraging. In July of 2009, I came back to David with a mountain of x-rays and MRIs, as well as a dozen screws, rods and plates in my neck. I wanted to perform my show again and I had zero confidence in my ability at that point to do so. David looked everything over and said “I can get you there.” We spent two months training for a two-night performance and it was challenging. Through his core training techniques and use of the TRX system, David pushed me beyond where I thought I could go and with each workout, I grew more confident. On October 16th and 17th of 2009, after a four-year absence, I performed my show again. With David’s physical and spiritual approach, I was once again able to do what I never thought possible. I sincerely recommend him to you with complete confidence and much gratitude for all he has helped me to accomplish.”

"Through training, David has become not only one of my most trusted advisers on body, mind and spirit, but has become a great friend. When I first met David, I was overweight, my self-esteem was low, and I had little direction. Through fitness, through hard work, with David's guidance and friendship, I was able to lose over 70 lbs and my life has turned around dramatically. David has an easy-going intensity. His focus is only on his client and their goals. (I don't think he's aware of anyone or anything else in the gym when he's training.) I consider myself lucky to have met David and I hope to continue learning from him...not only about fitness, but about life, philosophy and better well-being.”

" There is a pattern in these testimonials that attest to David's allure. He has instilled in me a desire for toning and building muscles which allows me to attain levels that I previously thought were impossible. Every session is a pleasurable experience of wisdom, zen, sweat, hard work and big results. David challenges you. He knows how to make you attain your goals and he inspires your every move, with his energy, passion and dedication. He has a way of explaining something with such an intimate understanding of the movement, that it makes the work-out session flow with a combination of gentle gracefulness and warrior intensity. His knowledge, skills and perfection are what makes David a great trainer. His peaceful mind and comprehensive fitness expertise feed both your soul,and muscles!”

"David is whole heartedly dedicated to the art of maintaining physical and mental health. I use the word art because his passion for the human body is palpable. His training techniques, that focus on breathing and core strength, are highly respected among rival trainers as well as the everyday gym rats. He is brutally honest in the nicest way a trainer can be, and will do everything he can to help you achieve your goals. He has transformed my body. As a former dancer, who has been through many trainers, both in NYC and LA, there is no question that David is the best of the best."

“I came to David with the standard workout goals in mind; less fat, bigger muscles, more energy. But what I got from him was totally different, and much, much more important. I was never an athlete as a kid and the thought of going to a gym as an out-of-shape adult caused the same fundamental panic that I felt as a fat 3rd grader hearing the school bell ring to go to gym class. But through David's incredible understanding of physicality, musculature, nutrition and basic humanity, that panic was quickly laid to rest and what replaced it was a true excitement for exercise - and not just exercise; being healthy. While he was able to transform my physique over the course of our workouts, he was also able to educate me and excite me on a fundamental level that has led to a much healthier and active lifestyle ever since. For that, I am forever thankful.”
