Dave Ballantine Personal Training

Training with Dave has been a great experience. I was lacking motivation after the pandemic and I was totally unable to train by myself. So I reached out to Dave, and thanks to his help I am now enthusiastic about my training sessions! By sticking to Dave's training plan and advices I started to see result really quickly, and I am totally satisfied with his service. Dave has also been really helpful, by replying to all my questions and curiosities, and by adapting my training plan to better fit the equipment available at my gym.

I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with Dave. He really listened to the original brief - get fit, get strong and get better at golf. He tailored a programme to do exactly that. The sessions in the gym were challenging. I have used personal trainers in the past but there were lots of exercises Dave gave me that I had never considered doing before which were aimed at improving a specific sport rather than just getting stronger. Within two months I was consistently hitting golf balls further at the range even to the point that I could afford to go down a club across the bag. I was adding over 20 yards to some clubs. Needless to say, I was pretty impressed with the results. Dave worked round my historic injuries and niggles to ensure I could keep training pain-free and I would definitely recommend his services to anyone. He knows his stuff.

This is the second block of training I have done with Dave. The first time was to help me navigate significant injury and allowed me to keep training. This time around has been equally as rewarding with significant strength gains in all areas. Dave is a knowledgeable and approachable PT that combines interesting and new exercises with the tried and tested. All I will say is my Fianc is a personal trainer and I still choose Dave.

I have absolutely loved working with Dave since the start of 2020!! His ability to put across complex ideas and explanations in the simplest of terms has led to me loving the gym for the first time in my life! The results have been incredible, and both myself and others can see a transformation in body shape as I have lost fat and really gained muscle. the monthly changes to programs ensures I am never board and the fact that I can log progress really motivates me to keep going. Nearly 200 workouts in, and I'm looking forward to the next 200! Without Dave's help I know I wouldn't have made any progress and instead would still be putting on vast amounts of weight!

I'm not the sort of person to have ever 'worked out' or even set foot in a gym really, however after a having a baby and a subsequent back injury I realised I needed to do something to improve my strength! Dave has been absolutley amazing, he totally understands my goals and has put together a suite of exercises that are challenging but achievable. I don't need fancy equipment and can do the exercises in the comfort of my home. I meet with Dave occasionally to go over any new excercises that are being introduced to the program but what I particularly like about these meetings is picking Daves brains about the workouts/exercises, as he is so amazingly knowledgable!
