Dave Smith PT

“I started training with Dave because I found it hard to maintain a consistent regime and, like most people, wanted to lose some weight. I trained with Dave for two years and came away with much more than that: exercise is now part of my daily life, I feel healthier and happier, more confident and have some muscle definition to go with that too. Dave is unique in his energy, kindness and tailored approach to individual needs - I couldn’t recommend him more.”"I have been training in Clissold Park with Dave for a year. Within the first six months I lost over a stone, dropped two dress sizes and my blood pressure went from being high to healthy. Regular exercise means that I sleep better and have more energy. But the biggest surprise for me is how much I enjoy it - after 37 years of avoiding exercise, I actually look forward to it! Each session is different, fun and challenging. I'm really proud of what, with Dave, I have achieved and can't believe exercise has become such a regular part of my life" Rebecca Atherfold, 37, Stoke Newington

"I'm an adult and don't particularly like being shouted at. Dave ensures sessions are fun, varied and totally effective, they're a brilliant way to kick start the day". Wendy Jobson, 46, Highbury

"In the four months I worked with Dave I lost over 5 Kilos while cutting my body fat percentage and increasing skeletal muscle significantly. But these stats tell only half the story; I felt more energised, my concentration levels improved at work and my clothes looked better on me. I attribute this success to two things. Firstly, Dave has expertise in exercise AND nutrition. This is hugely important because I needed help in both areas to turn myself around. Secondly, his regimes are manageable. The problem I always had in the past was I would be too extreme in my diets and workouts and inevitably this meant I couldn't stick with them. With Dave, I would train 2-3 times a week and see real results. This helped build my self-confidence as I could see what I was doing was actually having some effect - I didn't have to guess or try to apply some generic formula from a book. In short, my programme was designed specifically for me, Dave made sure I stuck to it and ensured I reaped the rewards" Henry Li, Hong Kong expat.

"Dave works me hard - sometimes very hard. But he always keeps workouts enjoyable and makes it his business to know my limits". Steve Lewis, 40, Hackney Downs 

"I couldn't ask more of a Personal Trainer, even on those miserable days when I just can't be bothered, he has the patience and humour to bring out the best in me. It's like having your very own Mr Motivator". Jan Mintowt, 51, Stoke Newington
