I’ve been doing personal training with Dave for a number of years now and he’s honestly the best. As a professional hockey player, having someone I can trust with my training is huge, and he’s been a big part of my development. Anytime I need something I can reach out to him and he’s always there to help me stay on track and achieve my goals. He’s been a huge part of my journey and a big reason why I’ve made it to the NHL.
What really stands out is how invested he is in you, not just as an athlete but as a person. He takes the time to understand exactly what you need and builds everything around your body, your strengths, and what you’re working toward. His workouts are super creative, challenging, and never feel repetitive, which keeps you motivated and constantly improving.
I’ve seen a massive difference in my strength, speed, and overall performance since working with him. You’ll definitely see real results if you put the work in. I’ve never felt more ready, explosive, and confident going into my hockey seasons. Couldn’t recommend him enough.
