    REAL RESULTS

    “Bournemouth Fitness Group is run by David – he empowers you to achieve your goals, and no matter what age you are or your fitness level, he will steer you through and adapt so you can achieve your goals and be part of a family.

    I am sixty one, so for any age or ability he promotes good mind set with encouragement and a smile.”  – Chrissy

    “As a single mum of 2, I’m always busy running around after the children, but now they are a bit older and I’m working it’s harder to stay fit and feel good.

    Morning sessions with David have been the perfect way to push myself and set myself up for the day. I’m really enjoying doing this for myself and I have so much more energy. Thank you David for all of your support and encouragement!” – Leylah

    “I was sadly forced into early retirement from an active sporting life in my early 60’s due to spinal problems.  I desperately wanted to continue some form of dynamic exercise but lacked the motivation to do so and was nervous about my physical limitations.  I happened to meet David socially but very soon realised that he had an unswerving but infectious determination to improve the well being of his clients. He has a charismatic but holistic approach to his exercise regimes which is highly motivating. He gave me the inspiration to train again which all others had failed to do.

    David is skilfully diligent in tailoring exercise programmes to suit the individual’s condition and he is constantly aware of your limitations. His real strength, however, is his ability to EMPOWER you to achieve your personal goal and to sustain that level of well being. He is a constant source of advice on diet and relaxation as well as your mental and psychological health. His regimes are light hearted but robust and most of all invigorating. He comes highly recommended.” – Phil

    “Bournemouth Fitness Group is unique in its support of its community. David empowers people with subtle mentoring and effective shared belief in better physical and mental wellbeing. BFG supports all levels of fitness, structuring bespoke group and individual activities and interventions that instil a desire to be better, for personal goal achievement and collective community wellbeing that builds a cohesive, determination for resilience and recovery” – Peter

    “I have used personal trainers in the past but never felt so motivated as I do with David …. and getting motivated at 55 is no easy task! David gives gentle encouragement and knows exactly how far to push me without sending me running back to the wine bar! David is not only helpful but genuinely interested in the health and fitness of his clients. What better way to set you up for the day than a workout on the beach. Fantastic for the mind as well as the body. Thanks David. Keep up the good work!” – Linda

    “My aspiration is to join the British Army, but knowing they have a vigorous physical entry test, I knew getting into shape quickly had to be my top priority.  David came to me via recommendation from my dad, because he had been training with David for some time and was confident he would help me reach my goal.  Though I’ve only been training with him a few weeks, I can already feel myself getting much fitter and stronger.  David has pushed with me beyond my own expectations, in such a manner that is encouraging, but yet demanding in n a fun kind of way.  Normally going to the gym I would just go through the motions, with the belief that I’d done enough, but never really feel or saw any results.  David has also given me some valid tips on a healthy eating plan to aid my fitness and recovery.  I’m looking forward to seeing what the next few weeks bring.  I would highly recommend David to anyone!” – Adam
