I have been involved in boxing from a young age and coaching for over 17 years. With multiple marathons, mountain climbs, long distance cycles and fights under my belt I feel I hold an open minded and consistently evolving methodology to my training and coaching styles.
I have worked with multiple professional fighters in boxing¸ Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai who have been competing at domestic and world level and challenging for, and attaining, various titles. I have also worked with endurance cyclists, a 3-man team who successfully rowed the Atlantic and older clientele simply looking to rebuild after a hip surgery.
I have also personally had several injuries over the years which have given me the opportunity to research and rebuild myself. In addition to this I have also spent several years working closely with former special forces operatives in various capacities.
Now I am focused fully on Strength and Conditioning with mental performance for high achievers, everyday gym-goers and top-level athletes. I am also a qualified Pain Free Performance Specialist which allows me to work with a wide variety of clients in assisting their recovery and rehabilitation.
TESTIMONIALS
“Dave has helped me become stronger, fitter, happier and healthier. I couldn’t imagine what I would have done without his help. My body is much stronger, and I felt like a new person in a relatively short space of time. The sessions are always something new and out the box and they have always been exciting. He has helped me love sport and fitness again and I am so very grateful.
I came to him with no proper power, flexibility or strength and now I feel so much more confident in myself and abilities.”
Yasmin Kojman - PT client 2017-present
“Dave and I have worked together for over 3 years on a sports specific program. As a professional athlete I needed a coach I could trust in to work hard to help achieve results. When I started working with dave I had very little strength or fitness, upon initial assessment he devised a plan to combat all areas of strength and performance goals.
Dave has helped me achieve training goals I didn’t know I was capable of, whether heavy lifts or fast sub 50min - 10km runs at 120KG. We have achieved a tremendous amount together and are unbeaten in my professional boxing career, I put a lot of this down to the hard work and dedication Dave exhibits. If there is a session I am unable to attend, Dave will make sure I have the session plan to work on myself and is always at the end of the phone for any queries I may have. He has never missed a session, is easy to get along with, passionate and truly invested in the process”
Harry Armstrong – strength and conditioning client 2017 - present – Professional Heavyweight Boxer
“I worked with David for over 6 weeks for two different training camps. We worked on both strength and cardio building.
David also set out for me a training program that I can also do myself which I found very useful.
Results spoke for themselves after winning 2 Gold medals and a Silver at both European and World Championships. My strength and cardio both grew dramatically compared from when I started training with David as did my movement quality and incidents of injury significantly decreased.”
Faisal Kayani – strength and conditioning client 2021 – present - Brazilian Juijitsu Brown Belt and Gold medalist
Dave has worked alongside me for years. We shared a studio where we trained high-performing individuals from premier league footballers to world-class pro boxers, to international entertainers.
He is a very knowledgeable and professional strength and conditioning coach with a lot of experience in his field. He’s also developed a solid reputation as a rehabilitation specialist after having successfully treated a few of his and my athletes. I've never had any problem recommending any of my clients to get professional and expert advice and he’s always going to be my first choice if I need strength or rehab-related work done on someone when I'm away. I believe his attention to detail and consistency and professionalism are what set him apart from the rest.
Thibo David- former special forces/business partner
I have known Dave for several years and had the pleasure of working with him in a professional capacity and also a friend.
I have a professional fight record of 47 fights, with 40 wins and several losses. In that time Dave helped with me with my S & C, nutrition, pad work and mind coaching.
Dave is one the most hard working reliable people I have had the pleasure of working with in my career.
Richard Green - Muay Thai fighter.
I started training with David many years ago. I only wanted to work with the best, and I knew David would push me and prepare me to be the best version of myself.
I worked with David leading up to my Southern Area title fight challenge. It was the first time doing 10 rounds as a professional boxer and I had to make sure that I was fit and prepared to go the distance.
David put me through my paces and I was breaking all of my personal best times and weights. I can definitely say thanks to David, he got me in the best shape of my life. I felt the strongest and the fittest, and we went on to win the title after winning 9 rounds out of 10 with constant pressure due to my amazing fitness and conditioning.
I would highly recommend David to anyone who takes their training seriously. Top coach and top guy!
