“I have worked alongside “Big Dave” (as I call him) for a couple of years at Newport Workout. He is very attentive to his client’s needs and workouts. Don’t let his muscles fool you. It’s not all about lifting heavy with him. He mixes in balance, flexibility, and core exercises to fully round out a great workout. His clients vary in age and ability but always seem challenged and leave with smiles on their faces. As a personal trainer for 9 years myself, I would strongly recommend Dave!”

-Kendra Cannoy

 

“Dave has been a great trainer for me for five years now. As in business as with personal training, if you don’t measure it you can’t manage it. Dave’s been great in evaluating my results every three weeks to see where I’m making progress. I also get a fresh routine every three weeks not only for results, but to keep it interesting. There aren’t many personal trainers of Dave’s caliber out there.”

-Eric Hall, Global Marketing Research Manager, Allergan Inc.

“I have been with Dave for 7 years. I’m probably his oldest client at 72 years of age. I love the programs that he makes for me and the variety keeps me interested. After all these years, he knows what I need and challenges me without injuring me. I ski, hike, bike, rollerblade and lift the 40 lb. bags of salt into our water softener. Do you need more convincing than that? This is one great person and trainer.”

-Rhoda Friedman, Newport Beach

He has been in the business for decades and his wealth of knowledge for helping people achieve their fitness potential is the most extensive I have ever seen in a personal trainer. He takes the utmost care with every one of his clients and I have seen each and every one of them achieve fantastic results, year after year. Dave personifies the absolute best in what a personal trainer should be and I would highly recommend him to anyone who has tried everything else and needs a professional who will get real, permanent results – in less time than you may think.”

Dave is friendly by nature and a pleasure to work with.”
