The Better YOU Project

Fantastic experience: I first started training with David and Anna almost three years ago. Before that, I had spent many years with Weight Watchers and Slimming World, and my relationship with food and exercise had become truly unhealthy. Reaching out to David and Anna was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I have never looked back, and they have genuinely changed my life for the better. From the very beginning, David took the time to sit down with me and really understand my lifestyle. Both he and Anna have supported me in all the areas I needed help, and together they’ve guided me every step of the way. With their encouragement, I’ve gained confidence not only in food, nutrition, and the gym, but also in setting boundaries, exploring different forms of exercise, achieving a better work-life balance, managing anxiety, and building healthy daily habits. David and Anna are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive coaches who always go above and beyond for their clients. The sessions in the fitness studio are fun, challenging, and rewarding. I’ve gained so much strength, and they often feel more like therapy than just a workout. I always leave with a smile on my face and a sense of achievement. I am forever grateful for everything they’ve done to help me change my life. I cannot recommend them highly enough. If you want to make a positive and lasting change, David and Anna are the people to turn to.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here with David for over six years and it’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my health. He’s not just an incredible personal trainer but also a fantastic nutritionist, so you get the whole package and expert guidance in the gym and tailored support with food and lifestyle. Over the years I’ve got stronger, fitter, and more confident, and it’s made a huge difference to my everyday life. The sessions are always challenging but fun, and I actually look forward to them (which I never thought I’d say about exercise!). It’s also been a massive help for stress relief and I leave every session feeling better in both body and mind. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, has years of knowledge, and can help you achieve real results in strength, fitness and nutrition, I couldn’t recommend David and The Better You Project enough. A brilliant trainer, coach and all-round motivator.

Fantastic experience: David and Anna's holistic approach to fitness (of mind, body and spirit) aligns so well with how approach life. The studio PT sessions are almost like therapy and workout wrapped up together. That is just the start. I love the app I use in the gym with pre-loaded, tailored workouts and their personalised check-ins, goal-setting and mindset sessions are all fantastic. I have so much appreciation and gratitude for all their efforts and I feel in the best shape of my life thanks to their support.

Fantastic experience: One of the best decisions I've made, joining The Better You Project. It's such a fantastic team and having gone from limited knowledge when it comes to strength fitness and nutrition, I have become more confident and got far fitter than I would have done on my own. They have a tailored approach which makes you feel valued and will always continue to push you, keep you accountable, and celebrate the smallest of wins with you. They work around my schedule and the studio has top equipment. David and Anna breathe fun and challenge you in improvement. If you looking at putting yourself first and getting top quality personal training this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: David and Anna have been amazing - from our initial chat about what I was looking for through to creating individualised training plans for events to encouraging me at every single workout ️ They are like my own personal cheerleaders - always messaging to check in and looking at ways to challenge me. I have felt really listened to as an individual and always love the opportunity for a debrief/rant during a session!! If you are looking for some motivation, direction or support with your fitness journey, I would 100% recommend them

Fantastic experience: I haven't actually been with these guys for long, as recently found out I'm pregnant, But Here's some information about me!!! I have fibre m, a weak hip, and knee , I also struggled with food, and mentle health. I tried so many times to loose weight, but I just couldn't, I have 3 children with needs and wanted to be healthier for them and myself. I wanted to be in less pain and to have a better mindset. I also had no motivation, haha Honestly , in the months I've been with these guys. I now drink water everyday !!!! I now am eating, and alot healthier !!! A alot of the time I'd skip meals, most days I wouldn't even eat, I don't know how david did it. But wow he has changed my life. My fibre is much more manageable now, you will always get the odd flair ups, my pain was way over a 10, it's definitely dropped to a 4, My mentle health seems a lot more stable now, I tell you. David is magic!!!!! He is one of the most funniest humans you will ever meet. I guess I just needed someone to match my vibe and help me on this journey, he made me feel like I was at home, I'm actually gutted to be temp leaving but after my baby i will be back ♡♡♡♡

Fantastic experience: Most importantly, David and Anna make it fun! My fitness and strength has improved considerably with their support. They give so much encouragement and genuinely care about helping you get to where you want to be!

Fantastic experience: David and Anna were one of the best trainers I have ever had. I lost 13kg with my stay with them.

Fantastic experience: The best PT ever!

Fantastic experience: Over the past six months, working with David has been nothing short of transformational. I've always been someone interested in self-improvement—I've watched countless YouTube videos, read books, and tried various techniques on my own. But having someone truly 1-on-1, who takes the time to understand me as an individual, has been a complete game changer. Throughout our time working together, David has helped me address a wide variety of areas in my life—ranging from simple but powerful improvements like getting better sleep and implementing daily habits, to much deeper work around understanding and overcoming imposter syndrome. His ability to recognize what needs attention and provide the right tools—whether it’s reframing negative thoughts, introducing grounding techniques like breathing exercises, or just helping create clarity around goals—has made a massive difference. The flexibility in sessions is another huge plus. If I ever feel like dedicating a session to building a fitness plan or diving into nutrition, David is completely accommodating and supportive, making each session feel tailored to what I need in that moment. On top of that, he goes above and beyond by organizing extracurricular activities that bring the community together—Tough Mudder runs, group walks, start-of-year goal-setting sessions, and even dinners. It’s more than just coaching; it feels like being part of a movement of people all striving to be better. I’ve made more progress in these six months than in years of trying to do it alone. If you’re on the fence, take the leap. Working with David has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made in myself.

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained with David and Anna for just over a year now, and feel the fittest and strongest that I ever have. Each training session is well prepared and flies by with a lot of chat and a fair few laughs - which distracts me from moaning about the exercising! David and Anna are both great people, and well placed to give advice and helping you set targets. Best choice I made signing up!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at The Better You Project studio for three years, and I’ve loved every minute of it. The studio has top quality kit, an amazing atmosphere and a team that knows exactly how to push you while keeping it fun (even when you feel like you’re dying!). I’ve put muscle on my whole body, feel stronger, fitter and healthier than ever and can honestly say it’s been the best investment in myself. Anna pushes harder than David (fact), but David makes up for it with terrible banter, at least it keeps the sessions entertaining! If you’re looking for a personal training studio where you get real results, a solid mix of hard work and laughs and a team that genuinely cares about your progress, this is the place to be! Highly recommend The Better You Project!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend The Better YOU Project enough! After training here for a year, I can confidently say I feel the best I’ve ever felt in my entire life. David and his team create a welcoming, professional, and results-driven environment that is tailored to you and your goals. What sets this studio apart is the personalised approach. From day one, I was supported with expert guidance in fitness, nutrition, and mindset – all delivered with genuine care. The private studio in Woodley is a fantastic space, and I always leave feeling stronger, healthier, and more motivated. If you’re serious about transforming your health and fitness, this is the place to do it. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to push to the next level, The Better YOU Project is a game-changer. Don’t hesitate – get in touch today. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with David and Anna at The Better You Project for nearly 2 years now, and I couldn't be happier with them. From the start, they've been incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping me towards achieving my goals, not just physically, but also mentally. They are not just personal trainers, but also mentors. They took (and take) the time to understand my individual needs, limitations, and goals, creating a plan that is both challenging and achievable. Our needs always change, and David and Anna have been brilliant at adapting and updating my plan accordingly. Their deep understanding of fitness, nutrition, and mental wellbeing is evident in everything they do. They are always able to explain the 'why' behind the exercise and anything on your plan, and how it contributes to your progress. They have a way with keeping me motivated even when I'm feeling discouraged. Their positive attitude and unwavering belief in my abilities have been instrumental in my progress, both physically, and mentally! My mindset and outlook on life has changed massively since I've been with them, and I feel so much better for it. You will never feel like a failure when training with them! The added activities we do as a group with their other clients, online and offline, are brilliant and help with motivation and expanding our knowledge further with everything we learn from both David and Anna. I highly recommend The Better You Project to anyone looking to improve their fitness and overall well-being. David and Anna are true professionals who genuinely care about helping their clients succeed, and you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Professional, friendly experience. Nothing ever too much trouble.

Fantastic experience: I started my journey with the Better YOU Project in June 2023. At the time I just wanted to exercise and regain my fitness following an injury. David & Anna didn’t just support me in my original goal but expanded my outlook to help me achieve better mental health, better nutrition, better mindset and overall a BETTER me. Their approach is to listen to YOU and develop a plan that works for YOU as an individual. I have achieved my goal in getting fitter but more than that I have found myself as well as the best coaches!

Fantastic experience: Since joining David & Anna just over a year ago, I can honestly say it’s changed our life’s for the better (Laura & I). We’re fitter and healthier than we’ve been in a long time and most of all, we really love our sessions each week!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a fitness and mentoring coach, you cannot get anyone better than the absolute legends at DC Total fitness. You can be assured that they will never drop the ball on you, rather they will follow through till the time you have achieved your goals and have become a success. David and Anna are not coaches for physical training; they take a holistic approach to your mental and physical wellbeing, helping you create strategies and plans for your all-rounded development and to reach your goals. What I love about them is that they are excellent in creating a sense of accountability, by being gently persistent to nudge you to progress on your plan and journey to overall well-being. For them, you are not a client but an individual who deserves all attention and respect. They appreciate your circumstances and encourage you in subtle ways so that you don’t deviate from you journey to overall fitness and wellbeing. I cannot recommend The Better YOU Project highly enough! Working with them has been an absolute game-changer in my fitness journey. From the moment I started my sessions, I knew I was in good hands. They are a positive influence for all society and simply 'Legends'.

Fantastic experience: David, Anna and Laura are just AMAZING!

Fantastic experience: It has been incredible working with David and Anna. They work with you to focus on all aspects of your life, including work, fitness, mental well being and confidence. Hand on heart I can honestly say after 2 years I am a different person, all for the best reasons. I have lost 7 stone now working with DC Total fitness and my mental well being has improved so much. I couldn't recommend anyone to help with fitness and confidence more than DC Total Fitness.

Fantastic experience: David, Anna and Laura are AMAZING PEOPLE and the comfort blanket you never knew you needed! I joined DC Total Fitness/ the better you project/ because my boyfriend reached out to help me get the help and support from David regarding weight loss, exercise and and body confidence, little did I know that this would change my life for the better! I’m so lucky that I’ve been able to access their services for the last two years from fitness, to daily motivation and mental health support. They have also made a great community for everyone to access including meet ups and weekly support sessions. They are always there for you and make realistic goals and are there to support you in ALL areas in your life. They have been the backbone of my everyday life and they have helped me more than any other professionals have, they really are the BEST in what they do. I highly recommend anyone to take the step and reach out to them and work with them to make yourself a better you, and personally I couldn’t do that without them and their great work and support. Without them in my life I wouldn’t know what to do and I’m so proud and grateful to call Anna and David my family. THANK YOU

Fantastic experience: David and Anna have been instrumental in my continued mental and physical development in the last 2 years. They are more than a simple personal trainer, they offer everything you need to progress in every area of your life (personal, business, health…), from regular catch ups, to exercise programmes and group activities.

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained with David and Anna for the best part of 4 years now, not only are their training sessions enjoyable and painful (in a good sense!) but the coaching and time they put in outside of the gym is second to none with regular check ins and messages of support to help keep you on target towards achieving your goals!! There is also the social events which are organised by David and Anna which are great to meet others within the DC community and connect with others from the local area. I would highly recommend DC total fitness to all my friends and family!!

Fantastic experience: We started training with DC Total Fitness in 2018 in the run up to our wedding so that we could look and feel our best and well we just have never left! David and Anna are just incredible at what they do and are so much more than just personal trainers. They are knowledgeable, motivating and provide you with every possible aspect of support you could need. They are your biggest cheerleaders when things are going well and are a supportive ear and there with an action plan to help when needed. Thank you for making every session enjoyable, pushing us to achieve things we never thought possible and your relentless support in helping us achieve body confidence as we continue to navigate the journey again after having our first child! I cannot recommend them enough! ☺️

Fantastic experience: I started on this journey with DC fitness in January and it has been thing I could have done. They have been there every step of the way motivating me and helping me make the right decisions to become my best self. They hold weekly support sessions that are great and very insightful. They are the most motivational, positive people I have ever met and I'm lucky to have been able to train with them. David & Anna helped me to loose weight, gain confidence and just be happy with myself. Thank you DC Fitness

Fantastic experience: I’ve spent an incredible 2 years with David and Anna working on my strength, muscle definition and mental health. They have been instrumental to keeping me on track and with lots of laughs and fun along the way. They are not just PT’s but offer a complete program to help you become a better you. So proud to now call them my friends :)

Fantastic experience: Fantastic people. Fantastic attitude. David has incredible knowledge. All in all, a fantastic group of people who genuinely care about making you the best possible you that you can be.

Fantastic experience: Amazing team and focus is on a better you!

Fantastic experience: 3 months in and the results are incredible. David and Anna are there every step of the way when you need them. All I can go on is where I started and where I am now but I’m the lightest I’ve been in years, have so much more energy and with a more positive attitude. I have a much better understanding of what I’m eating and how my lifestyle affects my body. And it feels easily sustainable rather than a ‘quick fix’ kind of approach.

Fantastic experience: I initially trained with David back in 2011 when he got me into tiptop shape for competition. I then moved away and ended up gaining 20kg of fat. Anyway after another chat with David 11 years later he promised to get me back to my competing ways. Him and Anna not only motivated me to lose the 20kg of fat I had gained but also to lose a further 11kg totalling in a 31kg loss and still going. My confidence has been boosted and I am back to my old self with my blood results better than ever. I work out at 6am daily and have regular messages from David and Anna checking in on me as part of the better you project. They make me feel happy and I am thankful for there knowledge to get me where I am today. Keep up the good work. You're lifestyle coaching really works. One day you will win that pride of Reading award from Alok Sharma. Keep pumping as they say or is it keep smiling as Geoff Carter says?

Fantastic experience: I started training with David just before the gyms started to re open and I’m so glad I did! David has taught me sooo much about food and about working out. I’ve had many laughs even on the days when I couldn’t be bothered to go. My main goal was to fit into my wedding dress that I brought and couldn’t even do up and with in the 5/6 months of training with David we got there and even had a bit of room to move around in. Couldn’t have done it with out you David and will recommend you to everyone!! Thank you

Fantastic experience: David is simply amazing, professional, knowledgeable and super supportive. I rarely leave any google reviews but DC total fitness definitely deserve a 5 star review.

Fantastic experience: Great at what he does, and what can’t he do… motivates, entertains, teaches and supports. Would recommend to anyone interested in starting there fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: Dave is a superstar! I was disappointed when I met him years ago on holiday that he did not live locally but when he moved to on line I was delighted! He does a session for me and hubby each week which is paced, suits our individual needs and is fun! He’s a real pick me up and we love his sessions

Fantastic experience: David has been amazing at helping my son, not only with his workouts but also in building his self confidence through listening and talking to him.

Fantastic experience: David is friendly, fun and keeps you super focused on creating and achieveing personal goals! I trained with him for a couple of months and instantly noticed the change physically and mentally. I highly recommend DC Total Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with David for almost a year and during that time I managed to get down to my lowest weight for maybe 25-30 years. He is an extremely good trainer with plenty of encouragement and praise without being too pushy. He makes the sessions fun, plus always checks on your wellbeing outside of sessions. I can see myself training with him for many years to come.

Fantastic experience: David has kept me motivated and positive throughout the year, helping me loose weight and stay on track! Always on hand for advice & motivation. A huge thank you from me!

Fantastic experience: David is a great PT. Totally committed to his clients well being. He ia alot more than a PT. He provides advice and support outside of the gym to ensure you meet your goals.

Fantastic experience: David is a great trainer. He is encouraging and supportive. I've seen real improvement in my strength.

Fantastic experience: I started training with David @ DC Fitness in early 2013. With a busy lifestyle I have always struggled to dedicate time to achieving my desired goals. When I joined DC Fitness, I was at my heaviest and very unhappy, David taught me how to maintain and reduce my weight even whilst I wasn’t in the gym. He has helped me to continue to push through my Plateaus (almost like a wall where you can’t get past a certain weight) to achieve over 10kg’s of weight loss and continue to maintain a steady weight. In one instance where I was struggling to see further change, David asked me if I wanted to take a DNA make up test to evaluate if there was more to why we weren’t seeing change, he was right. We establish what my intolerances were and I was able to make changes to my diet which helped me push past a very difficult plateau. Not only has be helped me physically achieve my goals but he has been an amazing mental coach too. He listens and helps with fitness but also try’s to help pick up your general mood from the smiles, regular check up messages and genuine care for his customers. I could not recommend a better all round PT to help you achieve your goals, thank you David.

Fantastic experience: Been training with Dave for about 8 months now. For someone who has avoided the gym like the plague for 20 years, I can honestly say I really enjoy our sessions. Never felt fitter or stronger. Thanks Dave! Jason "not SushiAnime, blame my daughter" Parker. Update: 1st plank 43 seconds. 18 months later 10:06 minutes.

Fantastic experience: Training with David has been knowledgeable, confidence boosting and fun. I love the fact David sends support messages and little fun facts out during the week, to support you. He touches base and boosts your enthusiasm for fitness and your personal goals. Will be back soon . .

Fantastic experience: Signing up with David has been one of the best decisions I've made. I needed a lifestyle change and David has been the best motivator. It's been so much more than losing my target weight of 2 stone (which was much easier and more fun than expected!!). but also a brilliant tonic through the Covid period - whether in person or virtual. If he has a space (not often - for good reason!) I don't think you'll find anyone better!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with David for over a year now and he’s helped guide and support me to becoming fitter, stronger more confident and most importantly I’ve lost plenty of weight! A great guy, friendly, helpful and always cheerful - I would highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: This guy is 100% best trainer there is . You want help getting fit you choose this guy. He goes above and beyond to get you to where you need to be. He's not any trainer he checks up on you Making sure your well in health he helps me everytime I train for a fight. He's more than a trainer he's your best mate . You can rely on him. Been using David for a fair few years Always gets me where I need to be. What ever it is your training for Just know this guy is the man for the job.

Fantastic experience: I originally started with David from a recommendation from a local Facebook group, to whip me in shape for my wedding. Despite being a absolute rascal, who loves the vino. I lost over 57 cm round my body, which is a huge achievement as I like to go out and enjoy myself and have a busy social calendar. I can also say he has made me feel happier, healthier and more energetic in all areas of my life. He’s not to bad to spend a few hours a week with either. I can say got me in the best shape for my wedding day. I can thoroughly recommend him for being the best personal trainer inside and outside the gym, and I have see a couple. Thanks, Shazza

Fantastic experience: I have been training with David for about 4 months and have already seen positive changes in my overall strength both physically and mentally. David goes above and beyond to provide a training program which suits your needs with a tailored and realistic food plan. I’ve learnt a lot technically about how to train to prevent injury and how to maximise my time exercising, with a whole range of routines. If he doesn’t know the answer to your welcomed questions, you can be sure he will go find out in a heartbeat! No one session is the same!! David’s personality will without doubt give you an injection of energy to push through a hard work-out while making you laugh. With David you don’t just get a personal trainer but a top mate who looks after your mental wellbeing to. His messages throughout the week will definitely catch your attention and leave you constantly motivated to reach your goals. He’s a pleasure to train with and I would recommend his sessions to beginners or advanced fitness fanatics as his wealth of knowledge would suit anyone’s specific needs. I’ve never met someone so positive and buzzing on life! – it’s infectious

Fantastic experience: I have been training with David for almost a year now and what a year it has been, I have loved every minute of it. I initially contacted David after many failed attempts to get back into some kind of fitness routine which, being a working mum, wife …. always seemed to come at the bottom of the priority list for far too long. David has not only made a massive difference to my fitness and strength, but far more importantly for me, training with him every week has given me confidence that I'd not really realised I had lost and made a huge improvement to my general wellbeing. Each week is tailored to suit me, we have trained through an ongoing shoulder injury, which has not as yet returned (something regular physio didn't achieve). I regularly hear from David, whether that be a message of encouragement, news or info he thinks may be of interest or just a general check to see how things are going. I cant think of one negative word to say about David. He is great fun, kind, personal yet professional, a wealth of knowledge, and his positivity is infectious beyond belief. Everyone needs a David in their life! Thank you David for all the laughter, few tears and Gorilla Glue ;-)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with David for just over a year now, and have started having more regular sessions in the last 6-7 months. I first went along to a session with my mum, as I’d not long fractured my ankle and was struggling with recovery, both physically and from a confidence point of view. I’m so glad I went to that first session as David was so friendly from the get go, and helped me so much with getting my ankle working again and giving me the confidence to get back to netball. He gave me loads of exercises to do at home and tailored the sessions to build up strength in my ankle again. Since then he’s helped me build up my fitness and lose weight I’ve been trying to lose for I don’t know how long! I honestly look forward to every session so much, even on mornings when I don’t feel like exercising David manages to get me back to myself within about 5 minutes of stepping through the door! Every session is completely different to the last and at the same time they’re tailored to you and what goals you want to achieve. David is an awesome PT / person in general and would recommend him 1000 times over ☺️

Fantastic experience: David @ DC Total Fitness is a fantastic trainer... I first started training with David a number of years ago when I felt like I'd plateaued with my own training in the gym Plateau - 'reach a state of little or no change after a period of activity or progress' I required a trainer who cared about MY progress, to keep me on the straight and narrow with my diet and exercise. I wanted change and needed help which David provided. David's personal touch to all aspects of what DC Total Fitness have to offer is something I have not experienced before with other personal trainers. Dc Total Fitness has given me the confidence to believe in myself that I can achieve my goals, in and out of the gym.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Dave on and off for nearly 7 years now and am hoping to continue to do so for as long as I can. The actual exercise side of it is of course great and is proven by the results he helps you to achieve, however what makes Dave a great trainer in my opinion are the other aspects he offers... Motivation - regularly contacting you to see how you are doing, how exercise/diet is progressing, and just in general to see how your overall wellbeing is. Great health knowledge - I have a long-standing muscular issue caused by a previous injury - of which Dave is very knowledgeable and has given me great tips to avoid further injuries Keeping things fresh - Dave is a happy, upbeat person who understands that training can get boring and stale so does his best to make sessions fun and engaging week in, week out. Would highly recommend to anybody looking for more than just your average PT

Fantastic experience: David is really lovely and pushes us on every PT session. Helped us both loose wight and tone for our wedding! defiantly will continue to train :) Thanks David

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable, great training sessions! He makes training fun and I look forward to it each time.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with David for 10 months and have found his personal, pro-active and rounded approach much more effective that other training I have tried over the years and am feeling much leaner, fitter and stronger as a result.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at DC Total Fitness in Reading for nearly a year and over this time I have found my love for training again - even if I still struggle to motivate myself to stay away from Prosecco :0) I can only say from my positive experience that it has been fun filled and a lot of laughter in every session I have done. He knows his stuff but unlike previous trainers I have trained with around the area, he manages to get the best out me with out having to shout and scream. He is always constructive and ever improving by using apps that I can instantly access on my phone and he seems to be like big brother helping me with nutrition and my activity to keep me being on top form. Whenever you need motivation, knowledge or a home workout plan to do, he's on the end of the phone (although he usually sends these out each week before you need to ask!). Each session has been completely unique and very challenging at times. Every month, David has a ‘gym challenge’ that puts every client against each other to achieve more than you would normally. His gym is like my own personal gym in that hour and if you lack a bit of confidence in a big commercial gym environment, he is still affordable whether you’re looking for someone to kick start a healthier lifestyle or a long term fitness plan. He has a range of high quality equipment, which further adds to his own expertise to produce a fantastic service. I would highly recommend David at DC Total Fitness for anyone looking for a personal trainer in the Reading area and I look forward to continuing training with him.

Fantastic experience: David continues to motivate me to exercise and to watch what I eat. David is very supportive, he’s on hand whenever you need him to keep you on track. Too many times in the past I’d work hard for a couple of months only to slip back into old habits. I’ve achieved all of my interim goals and more with David, lost weight and gained strength. I look forward to the sessions and always leave having done a proper workout. Highly recommend giving DC total fitness a go.

Fantastic experience: I trained with David a while ago now and lost over 2 stone, it completely changed my life! I never used to be into fitness at all or healthy eating, he showed me how to live my my life with out making to many sacrifices along the way while achieving my goals. He had completely changed my outlook on nutrition and helped me along the way. Even now he still drops me a message and answers questions any time of day, to help me keep on track I can not speak highly enough of him and will always recommend him to all my friends and family!!

Fantastic experience: I came to David, overweight with high blood pressure and within a matter of months, I was back down into the safety zone. So along with pretty much saving my life David has given me more confidence within myself and become truly one of my best friends. His positive outlook on life is infectious and our sessions a real pleasure, even if I drive him crazy not filling out my food diary :-) He's always there for me day or night and really cares about his clients, it's not just about the time in the sessions it's everything else he does, the constant encouragement and guidance are invaluable. David really puts the personal in personal trainer and I wouldn't change anything about him or the way he works.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with David on and off for a few years and thought I should write a review for him, as he has done so much for me. I go through phases of getting really fit and motivated like lots of people do. He has always been there for me whether im training or not. He always keeps in contact even when im not training (I have just started again after over a year) and is always at the end of the phone or WhatsApp to give you a bit of a pep talk or advice. I cannot thank him enough for all the effort and care he puts in to make me feel the happiest and healthiest I can be. Doing it all with a touch of his own unique madness (which is why I always go back).

Fantastic experience: I have been going to DC Total Fitness for over a year now and can not highly recommend it enough. I have changed the way I exercise and I get the most effective and enjoyable workouts without having to spend hours in the gym. He’s very down to earth guy and takes my situation on a individual need and always focuses me towards my goals. I have got fitter, stronger and definitely more athletic looking with my time with him! If you want a personal training in Wokingham or Reading he is well worth the travel time to see. The reviews speak volumes of what he can help you achieve you just have to persevere with some of his laughing and dancing around though as he has tendencies of both. Mark

Fantastic experience: I have trained on and off with David for several years, and consistently for the last year and a half. He is really motivational and keeps you going even when you want to give up, often sending a motivational message between sessions (somehow often sensing when you're considering eating something less than healthy). No matter what mood you turn up in, after a few minutes you are smiling - although sometimes it's closer to a grimace! It is a great way to mentally switch off from the stresses of everyday life, knowing you're in safe hands, and going to leave happier, healthier and stronger.

Fantastic experience: My daughter and I share a weekly session with David. He works hard to give us varied fitness routines which we enjoy. The monthly challenges are great and allow us to compete with other clients (even though we don’t know them!). We would have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone seeking a professional dedicated trainer.

Fantastic experience: David trains my husband and myself, together twice a week. We have lost 70cm between us and 15.5 kilos. I hate exercise, but enjoy DC's sessions and will keep it up. I have a waist for the first time and love feeling stronger and in more control of my body. I am 44 and my accountant said I look like I am in my twenties now! I couldn't have done it without David's encouragement.

Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend Dave more. Was sceptical to begin with as have always struggled to remain commited and not seen any progress. With Daves help in the last 7 months I have gone from a skinny 10 stone to a healthier and more confident 13 stone. Hes also previously helped my wife in training for a triathlon as well. Would recommend for all aspects of training whether you want to lose weight, gain muscle or just to help keep you on track week by week!

Fantastic experience: I first started working with David in the summer, having previously worked with a PT before I thought it would be more of the same, but I was completely wrong, David is so full of knowledge and knows exactly what he’s doing. I have learned to look at nutrition in a new light and can really see such changes in myself and my fitness, working with David is also never dull, he’s so full of life and you can see he does what he loves and enjoys teaching his clients so much. I would recommend David to anyone!!

Fantastic experience: TD knows his stuff and gets great results. He is great fun and an hour flies by!

Fantastic experience: David is a professional and highly knowledgable personal trainer. He has helped me see that sometimes less is more!! I have cut down on spending hours at the gym, keeping a food diary, enjoying nights out and still loose weight!!!! I never thought that was possible but he has shown me how to be smarter and still get positive results. I feel fitter than I have been in years. I highly recommend him as a personal trainer

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love training with David, never thought I’d look forward to exercise but I definitely do with him! I enjoy every session and always leave feeling great. And on top of that I’ve lost over two stone since I’ve been training with him. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: David is a fantastic personal trainer who has helped me to lose over a stone which has definitely spared me on to lose even more weight, he always has positive words and teaches personal fitness in a positive and helpful way, that's why I recommend him 5 stars would award more but it doesn't allow it on here!

Fantastic experience: David never fails to motivate me! I leave every session feeling happier and stronger. He is dedicated, pushes me and takes the time to support and check in with me to keep me on track. Highly recommend DC Total Fitness

Fantastic experience: I have been training with David for just over 2 months now and I can safely say that he has has successfully pushed me further towards my body goal! My body fat % has reduced from 20.8% to 16.7%, I have lost inches from my waist, bottom belly & hips and I have increased my overall muscle mass, as well as increasing definition in my chest and both of my arms & legs. My endurance and strength have both improved and I can actively see those results by my improved cardio/lifting performance in the gym. I find that David manages to push me to my limit without having a shouty army drill instructor vibe about him, his personality is second to none and his constant positivity makes every work out all the more enjoyable (I’m a very positive person my self but I’d like to have some of whatever Dave taking, haha!). Also, David’s knowledge of nutrition is outstanding, I hold him responsible for finding me the tastiest Vegan protein shake in the entire world! His knowledge has also allowed me to ensure that I’m successfully hitting my macros on a daily basis, giving my body the right nutrition to continue making steps towards my goal. Another thing that makes David stand apart from the rest is that outside of the workouts, Dave is constantly in touch with me through WhatsApp, making sure I’m good and he is always willing to talk to me about anything if I’m not. I’d say Dave is more than just a personal trainer, he operates more like a personal support system, but that’s just how he is and credit where credit is due. I’d recommend David to anyone looking to make improvements to their endurance, strength and overall health / state of mind, the positive atmosphere he creates is effortless and a positive mind = positive results! Cheers Dave! I will 100% be training with you again in future.

Fantastic experience: Even though I currently can't walk because of him, working out with David from DC Total Fitness for the last 15 months is always a delight. No matter what mood I am in, or how unmotivated I am when I get there, I always come out feeling great and that's in no small part down to David being slightly mad and always making the gym fun. At first I didn't see the value of a PT, but having someone who has the knowledge and the ability to structure your routines for your body type and end goals is worth every penny. That said David is not like other PTs I have worked with, 'his door is always open' by which I mean he is only a message or phone call away and can be contacted almost 247. However... this works both ways, as he is for ever nagging, I mean encouraging, me to fill in my food diary or up my step game. I guess it all works as I have lost a good amount of weight and am starting to develop definition in places I didn't even know existed. David is more than just my PT he is my therapists too!

Fantastic experience: I have been wanting to change and vary my training plan for a while as my existing one was not working my way. I was given David's name and went a had a chat with him. That was at the beginning of the year. I am now signed up with many many other people to get my fitness back on track. For anyone contemplating of looking to find a good fitness trainer than don't hesitate to check him out. A superb array of equipment and training plans makes DC Total Fitness the place to be at.

Fantastic experience: I don't know where to start, David is one of the most motivational people I have ever met. He makes the training sessions interesting, fun and different every week and I've never met anyone who likes to dance around as much as David does. I think one of the best factors of training with DC total fitness other than seeing my weight loss is how personal David is. He really takes the time and shows a lot of interest not just when your training but also during the week, receiving motivational texts just letting you know he is still there if you need help or any advice. I would recommend David 100% to anyone looking for a personal trainer, he has got to be the best around

Fantastic experience: I have been training with David for nearly two years, we have had some ups and downs but mainly ups! He is a real genuine guy and really puts his all into making you a healthier and happy person in all areas of your life! I could not recommend him highly enough to anyone looking to lose weight, feel better or just want some consistency in their workouts. He’s also a good and very cost effective therapist (he’s not qualified but he listens) to talk through all life woes and life issues, really got time through some tough times. Thank you and well deserved 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: David has been an amazing PT, keeping me on track and motivating me to want to improve my fitness. The sessions are always engaging, and his positive attitude is infectious. I can't thank him enough for all the help he's given me since I started training with him in October, my only regret is not starting sooner!

Fantastic experience: David is as crazy as they come which makes him a brilliant person to train with, with him I have seen continuous results (once I actually decided to do what he told me!) He is always pushing me to do my best and regularly hounded me to make sure I wasn't up to no good. He always mixes it up to keep the sessions fun(?) and engaging and keeps in touch through the week as he is genuinely interested in his clients well-being. Looking forward to continuing our love hate relationship after my Christmas binge eating- I'll see you in the new year mate!

Fantastic experience: Soooo, I was lethargic, unmotivated and ‘broken’ - as in so many injuries I couldn’t do anything at the gym. Then I started going to David for training sessions - and what a difference! The injuries are improving all the time, workouts are geared to my level but they’re challenging and fun, and it doesn’t stop there. David sets other challenges, one of which has helped me get to my 10,000+ steps a day, he sends messages of encouragement throughout the week (yes, even when he’s on holiday!) and if, like me, you want to lose weight - trust me when I say ‘DC Total Fitness will be watching you!’ Whether you want a fab and fun workout or a complete lifestyle change, David’s yer man!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing David for almost a few years now and he is my constant source of motivation. He focusses me, challenges me and works me harder than i work myself. He is a charming man, slightly bonkers and infectious beyond belief.

Fantastic experience: I don't even know where to begin with this review, I've been training with david on and off for a few years now. He always manages to fit me back in to his busy week and get me motivated again. David makes it so enjoyable and fun with his constant banter and silly voices, He's so encouraging the most positive person I've ever met and totally understanding with everything. I have a lot of allergies, and basically I can only eat fruit, vegetables, chicken and chocolate buttons (a lot of chocolate buttons) so it's been very hard at times to make sure I'm having the correct diet but he's also helped with that. I have so much more knowledge now when it comes to food, exercises and my general health! If anyone is looking for a dedicated, fun loving personal trainer .. david is your guy!

Fantastic experience: I started training with David a few months ago and I would 100% recommend him for everyone I decided I needed to make a change in my life after realising quite how unfit I was, and I was recommended David by one of my friends who knew him as a ‘really nice guy’ I could tell you about how excellent his workouts are, but that’s not what sets him apart from every other personal trainer Where David really excels is at getting the best out of you. Since joining, I’ve never worked so hard and felt so good about it. He listens to everything you tell him and tailors the workout accordingly, he provides good, positive feedback and motivates you to the point that he’s not telling you that you have to do any of this. You want to. Yes, the workouts are excellent and I’ve been able to drop the excess weight and giggle the whole way through, but I also feel better about myself, I’m happier, and I actually look forward to seeing him at the end of a hard day – where I used to just want to go home and pray for the day to be over. I also feel like I can achieve things – not only in exercise – that I just assumed I wouldn’t be able to. If you’re on the fence, just give it a go. Worst case scenario – you don’t enjoy it Best case – it changes your entire outlook on life

Fantastic experience: I have known David for a while now and he is a great PT always smiling !! He never fails to make me laugh or to push me to my full potential !

Fantastic experience: Training with David is a lot of fun. He is constantly making me push the limits of my ‘comfort zone’…. I sweat like I’ve never sweated before! He has a unique approach and is totally unique as a person - we are always laughing!! I would highly recommend.
