Brilliant local personal trainer - David Wilson


Valerie Rowe

Recommended Posts

David Wilson has been working on helping my fitness and muscle strength for the last 2 months and I am currently beginning to notice a real improvement. Before having individual sessions, I attended some group sessions that David led, and they were also very helpful. But I find the one to one sessions better at focusing on my particular needs. He is a GREAT encourager and his positive feedback really spurs me on. He did a very thorough initial assessment, and clearly is able to tailor his exercise programme to the needs of myself as an individual. His manner is easy and respectful and I feel confident following his instructions. These sessions are fun and enjoyable and I can highly recommend him as a personal trainer.

He can be contacted on his e-mail [email protected]

and more testimonies are on the website www.fitfunactive.co.uk

and his contact phone number is 07886819934

Personal fitness has never been one of my high priorities. Unfortunately, this means it tends to come in small bursts and have a short shelf life. David has not only taught me easy-to-learn skills, but he has raised my awareness of fitness and helped me see a better picture of what I can and should become physically. I am feeling progressively more motivated and eager to see the changes that need to take place. I am so grateful for his motivation and encouragement.

I can only agree with what has already been said - I've been working with David since January and find his manner and approach perfect for me. He's got a lovely calm style, encouraging without being shouty, motivating while setting realistic expectations. He also mixes up the sessions so I don't get bored and even brought workout music to distract me. I'd definitely recommend him...

I've started training with David because I suffer from a bad fibromyalgia and anxiety disorder. My goal is not to lose weight, although in only 20 days without a strict diet I have already lost 2.5 kg. My goal is to get healthy and tone up a bit, but the weight and fat loss were also welcomed!! In only 10 sessions my fibromyalgia has never been better and my anxiety levels have dropped considerable too. I don't have chest pains as often as before because my heart is also getting stronger. David changes the sessions every time, working with my capacities and age -I'm a 45 yrs old woman with sedentary life- combining weights, cardio and high interval exercises without allowing me to exert myself. This makes the workout fun and challenging but within my limits. Every week I'm feeling stronger. I don't get out of breath now or have chest pains when going up the stairs to catch the train. We exercise outdoors in the park which is also equally rewording and he even sends me encouraging videos or nutritional tips during the week. I can't recommend it enough!

David is proving an effective personal trainer for me. Both encouraging and demanding at the same time. David is full of knowledge and flexible in his ways, adapting his sessions to meet my specific goals. He's hot on technique and what's proving valuable is his willingness to create routines for when I am travelling. We do a mixture of strength (core) and cardiovascular.

I found David through this forum and he's been brilliant. I train with him and with my wife once a week and he gives us a routine to follow on the other days of the week. It's been just over a month and we both feel fitter, stronger and just generally better. He built us up slowly (I hadn't done any exercise for a long time) and he's given us both a lot of confidence and motivation. He flexible with times, reliable and friendly and he's having a brilliant impact on my health. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

When James came to me for Personal Training he was quite unfit and a bit oversight. He was 103kg and wanted to get down to 90kg. That was 18 weeks ago today his weight is 88kg he has lost 15kg and 4inchs of his waist.

His feeling fitter, healthier and is looking great.

David is also MY PT, I found him through the ED forum, thanks to this thread!

So I thought I?d come back to reflect on my experience.


Thanks to the posts above, as they were so helpful and I was lucky to manage to get regular slot with David.


To you, who are looking for personal trainer, I was in your position and didn?t know who to turn to and was enquiring here and there, I was only getting either ridicules pricing or not too professional manner. I can highly recommend David.


It was totally different when I approached him, as David was friendly, very professional (offering free first trial session) and prompt (in his replies), in addition, David offered very reasonable price for the sessions.


I have to say, I haven?t got particular sports background and am more of an amateur.

David picked this up and he is always very careful, as he is giving me very balanced work outs (not too intensive neither too laid back).

He is always in time and well organized.

Every time he make sure he has prepared special work out plan for each session, which makes the work out diverse and more interesting.


I am very grateful I found David, as I finally managed to stick to a regular physical activity and was meaning to do it for ages and was always giving up very quickly..., not this time, thank you David!

I can?t recommend you enough.


Thank you

My husband and I have been training twice a week with David since September with the aim to tone up and lose some weight, and importantly stick to it. He has transformed our thoughts towards exercising and carefully plans and tailor the sessions every time so that we don?t have time to worry about repetition. We were not looking for a pushy trainer, we wanted someone who would do so without us realising and that is just what David does, all with a great sense of humour! I have found I have muscles I never knew existed.


He also has helped us think more about what we eat ? we used to skip breakfast and then be starving by dinner time, but we now eat three balanced meals a day, have cut down our wine intake massively and are watching the calories more sensibly. I didn?t realise for my age that 2000 calories was actually 500 too many for my previously sedentary lifestyle!. We still have our fun/eat/drink too much at weekends and are less careful but make sure we try and do one or two exercise sessions on our own to keep up the momentum - we now 'earn our treats'. Ten weeks in and I have lost 9lb, have tone in my arms and previously very flabby belly and feel fabulous. My husband has also lost about 9lb. We are so pleased with David that we have already booked him for our second block of sessions, now not really to lose weight, although a little more would be nice, but just to keep fit - we have found it beneficial both physically and mentally.


Highly recommend him.

I started to train with David just over year ago. I wanted to get fitter and stronger and I knew, that I won?t be able to do it without help. David really helped me to overcome my laziness and also some inner barriers I had towards exercising. Every session is unique; it is fun but also hard work. I very appreciate David?s patience, sense of humour and encouragement.

We started out with David about 4 months ago and we have not looked back! We are a slightly overweight, very overworked couple who spare little time for exercise. Realising we needed to do something about it, Rob booked a couple of sessions with David and quickly persuaded me to come along.


I'll admit all I know of personal trainers are the ones I see in the films shouting at their clients, this is not David. He's calm, patient, hugely motivating and a lovely person to hang out with for an hour. Our levels of fitness have improved dramatically since training with David and this motivates us in our sessions to push harder.


Not only has the exercise improved our fitness, its reduced our stress levels, motivated us to get outside and bettered our relationship! I highly recommend David if your thinking of getting a personal trainer, I promise you won't regret it:)

I have been working out with David since January to get fitter and lose weight after a long period of inactivity due to ill health. He is great...tailoring programmes to suit the individual's needs and working around any problems. For me, he's planned a combination of strength and aerobic exercises which I find both enjoyable and effective. I have lost at least four kilograms (that doesn't sound like much but it is if you realise this weight loss has been pretty effortless -- just by doing his easy exercises and eating a trifle more sensibly). He's great at giving you food and nutrition tips too...and has an easygoing, humorous manner which makes the sessions good fun.

I just wanted to add my recommendation for David Wilson. I have been training with David for almost 6 months now and I couldn't recommend him highly enough. He is always cheerful and friendly and it is good to see him each week. He comes along with a plan that he has devised in advance, which is designed to make me work hard but within my limits. However, if I turn up feeling a bit unwell or tired he changes the plan to suit my energy levels. He also tweaks the work outs when he can see I am not as energetic one week or am feeling good and can do extra.


I really enjoy my weekly work outs and feel really good and energised after them. David always makes me feel as though I have worked hard and often right up to my limit but I don't feel drained afterwards. In fact, I feel great and really proud of myself. I am much stronger than I was when I started and this was one of my goals so I am really pleased.


David also sends through exercise ideas for me to do during the week and motivates me to do additional work outs. But crucially he doesn't make me feel guilty when I admit I haven't had time to do anything between our sessions!


If you are looking for a personal trainer to help you get out, get fitter and stronger all while feeling totally within your own limits, I can highly recommend David. He will help you achieve your goals. Good luck!

I can also highly recommend David Wilson. I am a 50 year old woman, seriously burned out from work-related stress and auto immune related conditions. I tried going to the gym, but was struggling to drag myself out there. And when I did, I barely managed to get through a whole workout.


Following other recommendations from the Forum, I contacted David to help me get fit again and to manage my stress levels. My body had given up, with achy joints and general fatigue. Its been about 3 months now, and my energy levels are better than they?ve been in years, and we?re now at the point where I can push myself further.


David has been really good at working with me, varying our workouts so I don?t get bored and encouraging me along the way. I had only intended to do a short course with him, but I?ve enjoyed it so much, I keep coming back for more. I couldn?t have done this on my own.

I got in touch with David based on the comments above and I cannot recommend him enough... I?d just turned 40 and with 3 kids and a busy job I was making excuses not to do more exercise. Pre kids I was petty active but I haven?t done much in the last 4-5 years. David eased me back in but ramped up the intensity quickly. The routines change regularly so it?s never boring.


In addition to the above David is a lovely bloke and we always have fun whilst working out. As many people have mentioned he offers a free taster session.


Happy for people to get in touch if they have an specific queries about his sessions.

I am a 61 year old women who started working out with David after a recommendation. I have always done exercise and yoga and am now thoroughly enjoy my sessions with David. Infact I look forward to them. He is an impressive trainer on many levels. Through his extensive experience he pitches each session to work you to your own fitness levels whilst still making it enjoyable! He varies the sessions each time to include strength based work, aerobics and stretch. He is gently encouraging but also steely when he thinks you can do more. Over the last few months my level of fitness has increased - my upper body strength which I had struggled with has improved so much and my problematic shoulder is no longer giving me trouble. My stamina and vitality is much better and the strength based work has improved my core and my legs actually looked toned!!! I can highly recommend David. He has a lovely encouraging manner that helps you believe you can do all he asks!!! Go for it. You will only end up feeling great!

I would endorse all of the recommendations above for David.


My wife first started training with David as an alternative to a gym membership because the regime of weekly sessions and bespoke training plans meant that you avoid the usual drop off in motivation (and attendance) that you often find with a gym. My wife absolutely loved having a personal trainer and saw a significant improvement in her fitness levels.


I had always been sceptical about personal trainers and preferred just jogging and playing team sports. I started training with David when I took over one of my wife's sessions when she was sick one morning and I have kept going ever since.


David is an exceptional motivator but not in a "boot camp" way. As a result of my previous sports activities I have never had any upper body or core strength. I was doing press-ups on my knees in our first session! Since then I have significantly improved my overall strength and my stamina. Press-ups are still my nemesis but I can rattle of twenty normal ones now no problem as part and parcel of the whole set.


David has also got me to focus upon my flexibility (which was awful). I used to be extremely injury prone (knees and shoulder) but the result of the strength and conditioning work that David has put me through is that I have not had a muscle injury in the last year.


Above all, David is a great companion through the exertion! A genuinely nice guy (until he makes me do one more push-up!!).


Try it out. You will not regret it!

I'd like to add my recommendation for David Wilson as a personal trainer...


I started training with David once a week from last autumn. I'd had a bad back earlier in the summer and also had never really got back into doing any exercise apart from occasional yoga classes since having my son 7 years ago. Together with working full time and wanting to spend my free time with my family I never made it to any exercise classes and got to a point where I felt like I needed to do something for my health.


Since I started doing the training I haven't had any trouble with my lower back and it has increased my core strength. I can notice that I feel less tired in general, my general energy levels have increased.


I find it hard to motivate myself to do exercise so having a personal trainer solves that for me as we have the appointment and then David motivates me to do it! We usually do a mixture of strength training with small weights, core training like sit-up type exercises, and boxing exercises for aerobic health. The strength and core are quite hard work but the boxing is fun!


David has a great gently encouraging manner which suits me better than some boot-camp type class. He is flexible in designing workouts to suit me and is happy to send me exercise routines if I want to practice in-between our training sessions.


I now feel like seeing a personal trainer is a good investment in your health, especially if you find it hard to motivate yourself to exercise by yourself or don't have time to go to classes, and David is a skilled and patient trainer.
