I first came to Bodyguards 18 months after having my second child, to conquer the backache l had been suffering and generally lose some weight and increase my energy levels.
Training with Dave once a week has made a massive difference to my life.
Despite running my own business and having two small children, I make a point of doing my training at Bodyguards - it is by far the best hour I put aside for myself each week.
I soon found drop-in sessions were harder for me to fit in, so Dave persuaded me to try taking up unning.
When I began training I couldn't even complete some of the fitness tests and I hated the running machine
This year I completed the Great North Run in 2.5 hours, and I still enjoy running as my cardio sessions outside of my personal training. I have already signed up for three competitive running events in 2008.
My backache has disappeared completely, and I have lost 3 inches off my waist and 5% overall body fat.
The most dramatic difference however has been to generate a love of exercise, something I thought would never happen.
I would recommend Dave Crandon or any of the friendly and professional team at Bodyguards to anyone who wants to get fit properly and enjoy more out of life.
