Starting out as a qualified personal trainer @ 18yrs of age, David developed a passion for helping and motivating teams of people very early.
Through his early & extensive involvement in team sports (playing VFL level football) and his time spent in the Australian Army, David had a sound grasp on team dynamics and the importance of health & fitness in the team environment.
Accepted into the Country's most prestigious Military Academy in 2000 David underwent thorough Military style training and developed a strong sense of group dynamics and an unwavering commitment to physical fitness. He was awarded the best at physical training during his recruit wing basic training.
After leaving the Army, David re-established his passion for personal training in Melbourne in 2003 with the Ascot Vale YMCA. In 2004 he joined forces with Paramount Boot Camps and was a senior instructor for what was the largest bootcamp program in the southern hemisphere in 2004-2005, setting a record of 240 participants in one of their 5 week courses.
Combining his military experience and passion for people, he learnt the art of tailoring group fitness sessions to a wide variety of people. During this time David also began teaching aerobics throughout Melboume and quickly became well known as one of Melbourne's most sought after instructors. By 2006 David was a senior trainer in a wide variety of group programs including Freestyle Step, Spin, Freestyle Power Bar, Tai Bo, Boxacise, Corporate Bootcamps & Les Mills programs including Body Pump, RPM Cycle and Body Combat - of which he became a state presenter and instructor mentor.
During 2006 David had established himself as one of the Elite Group Exercise instructors in Australia and travelled the country with the Les Mills Aerobics Team presenting world class aerobics classes. Sponsored by Nike, he delivered intensive weekend training modules for the Les Mills Body Combat Program and later that year presented at Filex Sydney - the fitness industry's premier trade show.
