Testimonials
"David has been doing an awesome job as a personal trainer for me. His multi-modal approach of using yoga, balance and strength training in working with my physical limitations has helped me develop a stronger, balanced core, become a stronger swimmer, more agile in my daily activities, more aware of how to move correctly without pain, and how to safely stretch when I do have pain. He is a gentle spirit with detailed knowledge of how the chi moves through the body's various components and the proper nutritional needs to achieve a harmonious synergy of body, mind and spirit. He insists on perfect form and to be as green as possible not only in how we eat and move through our daily lives, but as stewards of our natural resources."
"Working out at Green Body is the single best decision I make for my mental and physical health. The proper techniques of training combined with the consistency of regular workouts boost the level I function at on a daily basis. I am stronger, calmer, more flexible, have a sharper focus, and have the best body I've ever had. In the last 7 months, I've lost 14 pounds of fat, gained 7 pounds of lean muscle, and broken through many personal bests. I can't speak highly enough of Dave's skills, dedication, and constant encouragement. It is a privilege to work out with him."
