"I've had the privilege of training with Dave for over a decade, and I can confidently say he's been instrumental in keeping me in peak physical condition. At 57, I'm fitter than ever, thanks to Dave's expert guidance and unwavering support. His knowledge and dedication were especially evident when I faced a challenging hip injury that could have required surgery.
Instead, Dave's rehabilitation program not only helped me recover but also kept me at a high level of fitness throughout.As a CEO in healthcare, my job is incredibly demanding, but Dave ensures I stay not only physically fit but also mentally balanced. His holistic approach to fitness goes beyond the gym, promoting overall well-being.
I wholeheartedly endorse Dave for anyone looking to improve their fitness, maintain their health, or elevate their performance. He's not just a skilled trainer but also a genuinely kind and funny individual, making every session enjoyable and rewarding."

"With David's unique training methods physiology and 3d movement patterning , I am feeling a lot more flexible powerful and confident going forward in my Career."
Having been bought by Man City from Ajax in 2015 at the age of 15, I have been plagued by hamstring injuries, breaking down during training and games on four separate occasions. Most recently, I was sidelined from October 2016 until February 2017.
I heard about Aspire and decided to try them, as they came highly recommended. Since early February 2017, I have been working with David and Martin in the evenings at the amazing facility at the Manchester Institute of Health and Performance. They’ve helped me return to full training, and I now have four games under my belt, all achieved within the space of 7–8 sessions.
With their unique training methods, including physiology and 3D movement patterning/stretching, I feel much more flexible, powerful, and confident moving forward in my career. Thanks to David, I’m back on track, and I highly recommend Aspire. I will definitely be working with them again in the future.
"I feel the fittest I have done for 15 years and have lost nearly a stone and a half while working with Dave."

I have been training with Davy for nearly two years, and he has completely transformed the way I exercise. Thanks to his use of 3D movement stretches and functional interval training, I feel the fittest I’ve been in 15 years and have lost nearly a stone and a half during our time working together.
Every session is unique, and he tailors the programmes to suit my goals and needs. His nutritional advice has been incredibly helpful, and, much to my surprise, I actually look forward to our sessions.

During the lockdown, I gained a significant amount of weight, reaching 199.1lbs, compared to my pre-Covid average of around 170lbs. On 3 January 2020, I decided it was time to make a change and was introduced to Dave. I began training with him twice a week. He provided valuable advice on diet, fasting, injuries, and workouts, especially as I continued training on my own when gyms reopened.
At my first workout, I couldn’t run the length of a football pitch without getting out of breath. I had always trained with weights but did little cardio. With Dave, we incorporated both, and now my running and overall fitness levels are better than ever.
I now run 4km four to five times a week and engage in other activities to maintain my fitness. Inevitably, training this much leads to occasional injuries, but Dave’s knowledge allows him to adapt sessions to work around injuries. Whether it’s training other areas or using different techniques to strengthen the injured parts, he ensures progress continues.
After 18 months, I went down to 145lbs. At 63 years old, I’m fitter now than I was as a teenager. I highly recommend Dave to anyone, but achieving results requires effort and discipline. Dave provides the guidance, but you need to put in the work too. That said, I still enjoyed carbs, chocolate, and alcohol in moderation.
If you’d like to discuss my experience directly, Dave can provide you with my contact details.
