I can't say enough great things about Dave at Full Motion! Not only is he an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled personal trainer, but he truly goes above and beyond in every aspect. His flexibility with scheduling is a lifesaver—he's always willing to accommodate changes in times and days, making it so easy to stick to my fitness routine despite a busy schedule.

What sets Dave apart is how much he genuinely cares about his clients. He’s more than just a trainer—he’s like a therapist, providing encouragement and support when you need it most. His passion for fitness is contagious, and knowing that he’s also pushing himself to compete in his own fitness challenges makes it all the more motivating for me to give it my all.

If you're looking for a trainer who knows his stuff, keeps you on track, and inspires you to reach your goals, Dave is the person you want by your side. Highly recommend.

I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Dave! From the moment I started working with him, I felt welcomed and motivated. His ability to tailor workouts specifically to my goals and fitness level has made all the difference. Each session is fresh and exciting, incorporating a variety of exercises that keep me engaged and challenged. I lost about 30lbs while training with him. I highly recommend!

I've worked out with Dave as a personal trainer over the years, I've always been in the best shape when I've had Dave as a personal trainer. I would highly recommend! He is great to work with nice private gym and is responsive to the type of workouts that work best for my body

I’ve recently started training with Dave at Full Motion and I honestly wish I started sooner!! Being in my 30s, working a desk job, and inconsistently working out in my 20s for fast “results” left me feeling lost and uninspired. I’m healthy-ish but lazy and feel the aches and pains that come with weakness and inconsistent exercise over the years. My priorities are to improve and maintain long term strength, stability, and functional movement, so I can live a long and healthy life 🙂 That’s what brought me to Full Motion.

I have worked with several personal trainers over the years at big box and boutique gyms in the Hamilton and Toronto area. I feel a noticeable difference with Dave’s approach. I’m never in pain or feel “beat up” after a session. Within a few short weeks, I feel myself growing stronger and more knowledgeable about proper form and how to assess any tightness or weakness to avoid the risk of injury.

What I like most about Dave’s approach:

- He’s very thoughtful when it comes to form and has great cues to help make corrections, so I always feel stable and safe throughout each exercise
- I don’t ever feel like we rush through exercises, which I have felt in the past with other trainers
- He never makes assumptions about what I can or cannot manage in terms of movement or weight
- He takes time to understand my challenges, focuses on the basics so I’m set up for success
- He keeps me informed on the purpose/goal of each exercise and gives me the resources I need to do the work outside of our sessions

I feel myself looking forward to working out now, which is the goal to keeping consistent! I highly recommend Full Motion if you’re like me and looking for a safer, smarter approach to building strength and mobility.

Dave is top notch! Highly recommend him to anyone needing to recover from an injury, needing new workout plans or simply just looking to have maintenance done to the body. He is extremely knowledgeable and efficient with his clients.

My husband has been going to Dave for several weeks now for a pain issue in his hip and raves about the work Dave is doing .He can feel himself improving his range of motion and strength in the hip area. Highly, highly recommend!

I came to Dave as a new mom feeling stuck, and riddled with new pains and weaknesses that were preventing me from getting closer to my old active self (with some new parameters). Dave listened to my goals and we established a plan for rehabilitation with strength training that was achievable and realistic. I am regaining my strength quicker than I anticipated and am reaching my goals at a steady and measurable pace that feels right for me. So grateful!!
