I’m in my mid forties and used to play a lot of competitive contact sport. In recent years I’ve become more immobile due to work commitments and certainly felt my body stiffen up as a result. After an initial consultation with David, he completely understood what my needs were and how to work with my body. I genuinely found an instant difference after the first session – expert guidance on every part of the workout from how to warm up and stretch to engaging muscles I’d neglected for years. The time in each session flies by and is fun. Definitely recommend, the flexibility in time and location is great, but it’s the empathy and personal understanding which has really made a difference.
David is a great PT, he takes time to listen to his clients and carefully watches all their movements to ensure that each exercise is tweaked for maximum results. I trained once a week with David to supplement my running and to improve my overall strength. We always trained outside at my home and he altered my programme each week to suit my goals and the way I was feeling. I can highly recommend his services; he is professional, knowledgeable and a genuinely lovely person.
David has helped change my life. I had been looking to lose weight for several years and had tried many different approaches. I had been to gyms where I was told ‘I wouldn’t fit in’, I had tried to hire PTs who would come and see me and then didn’t call me back and I had tried to lose weight through diet. I was stuck and was the heaviest I had ever been.
I decided to try and find a PT and I knew that I didn’t want the ‘Boot Camp’ approach and I needed someone believed in me because at the time, I don’t think I believed in myself. I knew as soon as I spoke to David that he was going to be the one. He specialises in people over 40. Whilst I had the determination and motivation, I still constantly doubted myself.
David started training me patiently with just bodyweight movements and then slowly built up my technique and strength. He has seen me laugh, cry (nothing he did!) and sweat! He also did his best to accommodate my feedback. Initially I felt too self conscious to workout in a gym, so we worked out in the park. I’m also a woman in my mid forties and so the breeze in the park was very welcome! David is a 27 year old, 6ft 4ins man with humility and I was worried about being a menopausal woman but he can talk comfortably about hormones, sports bras and many other delightful topics. He’s very supportive and only wants me to succeed for me. He pushed me, cajoled me, I was grumpy some evenings, I hate mornings and I didn’t always make his life easy. He truly was with me every step of the way. We would celebrate my monthly body progression photos and he would often see subtle changes I would miss. I feel he’s genuinely proud of my progress and was in it with me.
I have a big Corporate job in Canary Wharf. I’m not someone who gives positive feedback unless it’s well deserved. David is truly a great PT but he’s become more than that, he’s my friend.
I have been training with David for the last 3 years whilst at Charters. He adjusts training depending my individual circumstances and has helped me with my flexibility, knee strengthand heart health. Staying fit is a must and David has help me stay mobile whilst in the south of the country and has liaised with my other trainer. With this in mind he’s put plans together for when I’m away and supported me throughout. I would definitely recommend training with David
A big tribute to you, my amazing friend and trainer David Thomas. You have played the biggest role in starting my personal journey in physical fitness improvement since 2014.
I still remember meeting you during one of my volleyball sessions and asking you to train me to jump higher.
That first training session was the start of many that eventually opened, and are still opening the doors to many other sports and activities that I still enjoy doing today.
Thanks to you, I have been able to gradually build the strength required to take part and have loads of fun in physically demanding activities, which normally belong in the domain of fit people in their teens and early 20s.
Not to mention the many new and amazing friends that I have made as a result of a physically active lifestyle.
I’m a much better person today because of you and I’m confident that you will continue to transform and create better versions of people wherever you are.
I worked with Dave for three years from our home at 630 am , five mornings a week for an hour. In summer and good weather session was outdoors. I achieved an increase in strength, BMI , fitness, mobility and weight loss. Dave also has good food and dietary recommendations to add. He was always very punctual and had sessions planned in advance and good variety. He also trained and helped my teenage children when they were on holidays with specific training to suit their favorite sports fully understanding their age, growth and development: I would highly recommend Dave if anybody requires to improve their health, fitness and overall well being. My physical and mental health was greatly improved by consistent training and good life style practices with Dave and wish him continued success .
David is by far one of the best personal trainers I’ve ever had. He truly cares about his clients, and would regularly check on me when I’m away traveling. His consistent updates and redesigning of my sessions kept me progressing consistently. Very highly recommended.
I went to David to add some focus to my training, particularly around core stability and functional strength training. The sessions where really tailored to my goals and where always evolving to keep it fresh and challenging. I could really see the benefits flow into my golf game.
I would encourage anyone – no matter what your fitness level, or your goals to give David a try. I have complete confidence that whether you’ve been committed to fitness for a long time and want to be pushed to the next level or whether you’re a complete beginner that you’ll be challenged to over-achieve and be thoroughly impressed by David’s dedication.
I started training with David in Battersea Park. He is an excellent personal trainer who ensured my sessions were fun and effective. We discussed my situation and my goals to make sure we meet them. I wanted to lose weight, feel happier and healthier and that’s what we achieved.
