I came to Green Body just to improve my strength, but what I got was so much more. At age 50 I am not only stronger than ever before, but now have strength coupled with newly discovered power flexibility balance and endurance. I love to cross country ski and I can feel everything I have learned in every stride. Working with David is truly one of the most rewarding learning experiences I have ever had. He understands how to develop a strength program that really improves performance.

"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."
"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. 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."
"A month ago I arrived at Green Body filled with fear, stress and anxiety. The Green Body holistic approach has empowered me to lose weight, calm down and be more active with my kids. Thank you David for turning me into a lean, clean and Green machine."

"David is a dedicated and an extremely knowledgeable trainer. The focus on whole body strengthening, flexibility, balance and cardio exercises has given me a much leaner, stronger and healthier body! David is committed and a motivating spirit, with the results I feel and see from our workouts, keeps me coming back for more."

For the majority of my life, I have been an active person enjoying all kind of sports and activities such as volleyball, biking, golf and yard work to name a few. I have carried around an extra 15 to 20 lbs. for the past 10 to 15 years and given an opportunity to get 1 on 1 training was very appealing and one of the best decisions I have ever made. It has been three years and I have dropped 15 lbs and feel much stronger and healthier.
David frequently introduces new routines and before I know it, the hour has flown by and I am totally exhausted. David is a phenomenal trainer and an amazing soul. He is always positive, extremely encouraging and is a constant teacher of good nutrition. Dieting has always been in my life, but I now look at what I eat in a whole new way.
I would highly recommend David to anyone out there who is in need of a push to get started or those like me who wants to change things up. I promise you that you will not be disappointed!
