I’ve been training with Davey for a while now, and I can confidently say he’s the best personal trainer I’ve ever worked with. Davey is incredibly supportive and always knows how to keep me motivated, even on days when I’m not feeling my best. His positive energy is contagious, and he has a way of making every session both challenging and enjoyable.
One of the things I appreciate most about Davey is his flexibility. Whether it’s accommodating my busy schedule or adjusting a workout plan to suit my specific needs, he always goes the extra mile to ensure I get the most out of our sessions. He’s also incredibly approachable and patient, always willing to answer any questions I have and explain things in a way that makes sense.

What really sets Davey apart is his dedication to his clients. He doesn’t just show up for the session—he goes above and beyond to make sure I’m progressing and staying on track with my goals. From checking in outside of sessions to offering tips and advice, Davey genuinely cares about his clients’ success, and it shows.

If you’re looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in helping you reach your fitness goals, I couldn’t recommend Davey enough. He’s an absolute game-changer!

Five stars barely touches the sides of the level of care and professionalism I have received from Davey since starting my journey with him over 18 months ago.

In Davey will find not just an exceptional personal trainer but a truly gifted life coach willing to help you through your most difficult days.

Davey’s knowledge of human physiology and body mechanics is exceptional, he has managed turn me from sofa loving slough to a strong and powerful women. I have changed so both physically and psychologically under his care and attention and I am looking forward to continuing my journey of transformation with him.

Working with Davey has made me realise how important my health and well-being is, that it takes time, investment and perseverance. No one’s health and wellness is guaranteed however what is, is the decisions we make that can impact upon it.

The decision I made to meet Davey for a taster PT session was the best one I have made for myself in years and certainly the best investment.

I urge you to not hesitate as what Davey offers is without a doubt priceless.
So If you looking for a personal trainer who takes the time to evaluate and understand your unique needs, develops and continually critiques your sessions to ensure you get the very best out of each one then stop reading now and book a taster session. I guarantee it will be the very best thing you can do for yourself.

Like many people I guess, I had been exercising and going to the gym for years and had never thought about getting a Personal Trainer.

I decided to start working with Davey as he often gave useful advice when he’d see me in the gym, and it was the best training decision I’ve ever made. I’ve achieved more doing a 12 week personal training programme with Davey than I’d done in 25 years of training on my own.

He gave clear and easy to follow advice on training, nutrition and lifestyle, and the impact was transformative. The program is tailored to your goals and lifestyle, the personalised training App makes following the programme easy and the one to one sessions are great.

For anyone with training goals- whatever they are- I could not recommend Davey highly enough.

I’ve achieved a lot, learnt a lot and had a good time.

Really highly recommended.

If you are looking for knowledge, motivation & passion then Dave really is the PT for you.
As someone who does not like the gym much, sessions with Dave really changed my attitude to going to the gym. Daves positivity and drive to help me suceed and smash personal goals is palpable in every session giving me the drive needed to become stronger and more toned.
I would recommend Dave to anyone!
Thanks Dave

I had never used a Personal Trainer before but it is the best decision i made. Dave started by asking me what i wanted to get out of the training then set about a 12 week course to help me reach these goals. Dave pushed me to be more confident when using the equipment and would often give me a weight he would say i could lift..... and he would be right!!! I am 57 years old and in the best shape of my adult life. Training 3 times a week now is a habit and not one i intend to break. Cheers Dave you have shown me its never too late to change what you are.

Davey was my first personal trainer, I could not have asked for anyone better. He taught me how to use the machines and introduced me to bodybuilding techniques. He is a great motivator. When I started training with Davey, I wasn’t in great shape. After a few weeks of working with him, my confidence and energy levels soared. Now, I’m lifting weights and doing things I never thought I could do.
Davey is incredibly passionate about what he does and constantly pushes me to reach my limits. I enjoy my training sessions with him. Sometimes, I try to convince him to make the sessions a bit easier, but he always says, “You need to push yourself; otherwise, you shall never know what you are capable of.”

Davey was my first and possibly the best personal trainer I could have asked for. He's not only a fantastic introduction to bodybuilding but also a great motivator. Before working with him, I wasn't in the best shape, but after just a few weeks of dedicated training, I began to see real results. Davey didn't just show me how to perform each exercise correctly, he provided constant encouragement and motivation. The three months I spent training with him completely transformed my life. From my appearance to my confidence and energy levels. If you're looking for a high-quality personal trainer who's dedicated, knowledgeable, and supportive, I highly recommend Davey. He's simply the best choice!

Davey is extremely hard working and takes time to understand training needs of his clients. He is committed and motivated. I would definitely recommend him as a personal trainer.

When I retired and after reading an article on Sarcopenia I understood it was time to make a change. Having no gym experience I recognised I needed a personal trainer. This was to ensure I could train safely and to gain maximum benefit. I signed up for an initial block of 8 one to one sessions with Davey, which is now permanent. I recommend Davey as he is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and methodical in tracking my progress. Now enjoying a more active retirement.

I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Davey. From the start, it was clear how knowledgeable he is about fitness and health. He tailors workouts to my individual goals and ensures I understand the techniques, which has been incredibly helpful.

Having gone to the gym for years without making significant progress, I was amazed at how much I’ve improved in just a couple of weeks with him. I’ve become stronger and can already see a difference in my fitness.

What sets him apart is his ability to make every session fun and engaging. I always look forward to our workouts, as he knows how to keep things fresh and exciting.

Most importantly, he creates an environment where I feel completely comfortable and at ease. His supportive attitude makes it easy to trust him with my fitness journey. I genuinely appreciate everything he is doing for me, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to make a change.

The motivation he provides is unreal!

I’ve been training with Davey for a while now, and he’s exceptional. As a first-timer to personal training, I was nervous, but his friendly and approachable and calm demeanor put me at ease right away. He started fairly gently and gradually pushed me to achieve more than I thought possible. Davey’s deep knowledge and passion for fitness shine through in every session, bringing new insights and techniques that keep things fresh and engaging. I love how he varies the sessions, so it never gets boring. The sessions just fly by.

What sets him apart is his holistic approach to fitness. We have had many chats about the mental aspects of fitness and life in general. Even on days when I have felt really tired, I leave feeling energized and positive . If you’re looking for not just a trainer but a true fitness mentor, Davey is your guy.

Davey is an incredibly knowledgeable and patience PT that offers clients exceptional value for money.

My personal experience consisted of the addition of accessory movements to reduce pain and immobility from an old training injury, which resulted in a new benchpress PR.

Punctual and offers single sessions alongside blocks. Well worth a session in my opinion.

Had a great experience training with Davey. Had a number of useful sessions with muscle building tips, and diet plans.

Finished my first block of 4 sessions with Davey, I literally can't fault the guy, I had some limitations with a knee injury and shoulder pain/clicking. Davey helped me to find a work around and try other exercises which didn't cause any discomfort. Davey is also very knowledgeable about keeping a positive mind set which definitely important when training. I will be utilising what Davey has taught me in the meantime and I'll be looking to book some more sessions in the future. 10/10

Davey is fun, energetic and knows exactly what he's teaching. His focus and dedication to you and your body is everything you need and you are sure to get results. He's always on hand if you need him and will encourage you to reach your goals. Thank you for the time and effort. The workouts were always good diverse and catered to your abilities and needs. He's motivating and his positive energy and mind goes a long way. He's more than just your average PT and is definitely worth the investment. My goal was to gain confidence and knowledge to attend the gym solo and within the past 8 weeks I've definitely gained and achieved my goal to do this Im now stronger hitting PBs and I'm now walking into the free weights section with complete confidence! I highly recommend him you won't be disappointed!

Davey is truly the
best personal trainer that I have ever had. I have been having regular weekly sessions with him since May although I had to take a break when, unfortunately, I got diagnosed with a neurodegenerative condition. This has been a challenging time for me but my sessions with Davey have made a huge difference to both my physical and mental health. He is such a positive and motivational trainer, very holistic, and an all round lovely person. I really look forward to my sessions with him and always end them with incredible positivity (that is no exaggeration). He can always see what my capabilities are when we are training and, through this, the training is very personalised. My balance can be a bit off at times but he recognises this and finds ways to adapt the exercises for me. Before training with Davey I wasn’t confident in setting up the machines at the gym nor ensuring that I had good form when training. Now I am able to go to the gym and train with confidence between our sessions. Thank you Davey. You have enriched my life. Good vibrations (o:

I had 5 very productive sessions with Davey. His knowledge is excellent and he has really sharpened my technique on free weights and machines to make my workouts much more effective. Davey is friendly and approachable and the sessions just flew by. I now have several great workout plans for my gym sessions.

I have just completed 12 personal training sessions with Davey, and they were incredibly helpful. I was previously inconsistent at the gym, doing minimal cardio, and avoiding classes, I now lift weights, exercise correctly, maintain balanced meals, and feel motivated for the gym. The sessions accommodated my busy mum life, providing the flexibility I needed which was very appreciated.. Thank you Davey! 😊

When I was looking for a PT I wanted someone who would not only focus on my physical appearance but also mentally. Having Davey has been amazing, I have been pushed, when I lacked confidence in myself, as I always make out I can’t do another rep, when I am well capable of doing another one, Davey has made me see the potential in me. Davey has helped to change my mindset and improve my confidence.

Anyone can tell you to do certain exercises, eat healthy etc but Davey has so much passion, he inspires you with his knowledge and is good at what he does! Not only has he helped me physically but mentally as well. I always leave the session in an amazing mood!

Highly recommend!!

I've thought quite a lot the about what I wanted to say on this review but it's been really hard to put into works how much Davey has helped me since working with him. It has been by far the best decision I have made! Within the past 4 months he has not only guided me physically but by mental health has improved dramatically also. I have lost weight, gained strength, and confidence. His positivity and dedication to helping you be the best version of yourself is admirable. I feel I'm finding myself again bit by bit each session. He is always pushing your to get that next PR and celebrates with you when you hit it. I look forward to each session. Can't wait to see what the future holds for me.

To say working with Davey has literally changed my life is no exaggeration.

I had a catastrophic brain injury some time ago and following Davey’s guidance I’m able to walk and talk better.

From nutrition to strength training, Davey’s knowledge is certainly impressive. He’s made a big difference in my life!

From the first session with Davey I was impressed with his knowledge and passion for weight training. What impresses me most is that he also focusses also on helping you develop the correct mindset when training, so it’s not just about performing the routine but also a mind body connection which has enabled me to do much more than I thought I could. In the past 2-3 months I am amazed at how I have progressed and with his coaching have made significant results. I find myself pushing myself further than I thought I could, he has unlocked motivation and drive in me that I was missing. In short I highly recommend him, he makes a massive difference to your fitness journey.

Working with Dave changed my life! He emanates positive, and I wanted some! So, I did what he instructed, and not only was I healthy and had a body to be proud of, I had an all-round more positive outlook on life, which I’ve carried with me now the past 2 years since we first worked together. Can’t recommend him enough!

Best choice I have made investing in me, he has given me time, his dedication, his experience and knowledge he has gone above and beyond. Davey has changed my habits, mindset and fitness levels. He's also educated me with his wide range of knowledge on why I need to do eat a high protein diet as well as what it does for my body. My mental health has blossomed alongside my physical health my appearance has changed and still changing. He's made a big impact on my life. Thank you Davey your the best
