David has been involved in sport, health and fitness ever since early childhood. A former national swimmer and rugby player, David has since specialised in martial arts, winning the British Universities Gold Medal in Judo as well as excelling in Muay Thai Kickboxing, Brazilian Ju-jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts.

After graduating from Loughborough University in 2001 David decided to become a personal trainer and strength and conditioning specialist. His career accelerated quickly and he has since worked with a huge range of people from professional and international athletes through to completely sedentary individuals with no previous experience of exercise.

David is continuously looking for ways of getting better and better results and has long been fascinated by the influence of the mind over the body. So in pursuit of understanding this relationship more fully he became an NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) master practitioner and advanced hypnotherapist. Later he went on to become an Advanced Lightning Process Practitioner and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) practitioner as well as qualifying in Ericksonian Psychotherapy.

Since then David has gained extensive experience helping many people make incredible and lasting changes in their lives from recovering from chronic illnesses including M.E. fibromyalgia and depression to achieving optimal athletic performance, from overcoming eating disorders to losing weight, losing body fat and achieving permanent physique transformations.
