MY COACHING ETHOS
It’s my mission to teach YOU simple, understandable AND maintainable fitness
And above all else, keep it in perspective of your life. Fitness is so much more than just training, it’s a way of moving well and recovering well in order to live well. This is why my first focus is to get you moving well, because when you move well, you open up a world of training possibilities.
ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m David. A personal trainer specialising in movement, strength training and lifestyle coaching.
With nearly 10 years experience of working with busy clients from all walks of life, I understand the importance of working smart and being realistic when it comes to fitness. I adapt fitness regimes to work with a busy life, rather than expect big changes to accommodate my method of fitness. Change can be hard enough!
This is why I adopt a minimalist approach to my coaching style that works with you, not against you, focusing on long-term progress rather than short-term perfection.
I started DC Coaching to teach and share a simple but effective model of fitness for health and happiness.
HOW I CAN HELP YOU
PERSONAL COACHING
My aim is to provide you with the understanding, knowledge and tools you need to successfully maintain a healthy and happy fitness life.
My main goal with our coaching is to teach you the rules of the fitness game so that eventually, you can play the game yourself, without me. Therefore, it is my job is to help you move, train and recover with purpose so that you can get the most out of your fitness process. This does not involve blood, sweat and tears, but it does require you to consistently play the game.
Fitness is for everyone to enjoy and I believe everyone should benefit from its positive effects. This means manipulating the universal rules of the fitness game to fit an individuals life and circumstances. My tried and tested method of coaching incorporates what I call my ‘Core Fundamentals’, a tripod of principles that I believe, are the foundations to maintaining a fitter, healthier and happier life.
It’s the perfect combination of training, recovery and purpose to achieve results that can not only improve your fitness, but improve your overall quality of life.

How effective fitness has helped my clients
CLIENT success
“ I never thought I’d look forward to personal training, but I really do! When I first started training with David 6 years ago I had previously broken my arm and was extremely weak. Not only did he help me recover, he helped me become stronger than I have ever been. It’s always a fun challenge and he is very passionate about what he does as well as seriously knowledgeable. Couldn’t recommend him more highly.”
“I came to David out of condition, with poor posture and a history of lower back problems. His personalised, thoughtful and professional approach has increased my strength, improved my posture and radically reduced my back problems. I would highly recommend David to anybody.”
“David has seen me through recovery from 3 operations, a back injury, and out the other side. His ever present objective for ensuring that form and technique are correct above anything else fills me with absolute confidence that I’m in safe hands whilst training with him, and on my own. His truly holistic approach to PT and his attitude towards enjoying life guilt-free whilst working towards a goal is incredible!”
“I wish I’d have been in the capable hands of David 45 years ago when I first hurt my back! His in depth knowledge and considered, practical approach has been a life changer. He has an innate understanding of the human psyche, plus a sense of humour which makes training sessions such fun. By far the best I’ve ever trained with.”

MY COACHING METHOD
The Core Fundamentals
There are three pillars to my coaching, and what I like to call the ‘Core Fundamentals’. If you want to see exactly how I help my clients, have a look at the below as I take you through the DC Coaching method that can transform your training and your life.
FITNESS
Purposeful And Progressive Training
Fitness training simply combines purposeful movement and progressive stress to bring about desired change over time. Training is just one pillar in the whole fitness cycle.
LIFESTYLE
Complementary Recovery Strategies
Our daily lifestyle directly impacts our body’s ability to recover, repair and adapt to training as well as maintain healthy function in life. Recovery pays for improvements in both.
Success
Achieving Results That Really Matter
For any process to be successful, it requires fulfilling a purpose. Achieving fitness results is great, but achieving results that actually improve your life is where the real magic lies.
