I have only known Dave over the last few months but going back to the 1980's when I started to get lots of back pain, my parents took me to a back doctor. This went on for years until in the early 1990's when my back gave up and I had to have major surgery on my lower spine.
I have used my back very hard over the years and in later years have also been overweight which didn't help.
The amount of pain I have put up with has been extremely bad over the year's but in the last two years (2014/15) it got to the point that something had to give. I reassessed my lifestyle and lost 45kgs and set about finding someone who could help to fix my back.
I had already been to a back surgeon who told me that they could not operate on my spine but who recommended that I lose weight, get fitter and generally change the way I lived my life.
After meeting and going to a lot of different people (chiropractor/massage etc). Dave Green was recommended to me as possibly being able to help me with both my fitness and back pain.
Our initial meeting was based on discussing my life in general but in particular my back problems and how they had come about. The following week we met again, at which time he provided me with a plan of how he would help me with my core strengthening, which in turn helped with core strength for my back.
After a few weeks of his treatment and training I am living for the first time with little or no pain, am standing and walking straighter and am sleeping at night the best I have done since I was a teenager.
This man is very passionate in his field and knows what he is doing as he has helped me immediately and I will be forever grateful.
The only thing I would like to say is the medical profession should take more notice of this type of rehabilitation to help people with pain and wellbeing as an alternative to using drugs.
I would like to thank Dave and would recommend his programme to anyone with extreme pain or wanting to better their fitness or wellbeing.

When faced with a back injury right before my wedding I was referred to Dave Green. Not only did Dave help to amend my injury, he also gave me a full understanding of how the injury occurred in the first place, along with preventative exercises to ensure it doesn't happen again.
His knowledge and advice was spot on and thoroughly appreciated. Thanks so much Dave.

About 5 months ago I sprained the ligaments around my knee cap and was out of action from any vigorous exercise for around 3 months. I experienced pain around the knee area and often had difficulties with walking.
I went to DG Health and Fitness as I had been a member of their Military Fitness group for 3 months and had gained huge benefits from this and thought they may be able to help me with the recovery from my knee injury. And help me they did!!! Under Dave’s instructions with a ½ hour session per week for 4 weeks my knee improved dramatically. I was walking more freely without pain. The thing I liked about the rehab/physio was the enthusiasm, positive attitude and committment Dave had towards my recovery using a holisitic approach.
I had a goal this year to be be able to participate in the 10km Bridge to Brisbane walk in August. That goal certainly seemed as though it would not be realised but thanks to the care and instruction shown at DG Health and Fitness my dream became a reality when I completed the Bridge to Brisbane with no pain and in a good time.
The 1 hour per week military fitness sessions run by Dave have been very challenging for me as I am a large woman but they have been hugely rewarding. I have found my overall fitness levels have increased and I am feeling a lot stronger, more flexible in my joints and am losing weight.
I can definitely recommend DG Health and Fitness as a place where you will get the results you are looking for.

Dave’s exercise routine was fantastic after I had attended a fitness programme with Dave prior to our rowing competition I had so much more energy and felt great, not sluggish any more!, even felt my posture was so much stronger. Thanks Dave hope you can do it again this season. Maree Dave spent many a morning preparing us for the big race,
I am not much of a morning person but with Dave’s training sessions it wasn’t such a drag to get out of bed. The quality and persistence used to get each and everyone of us into tip top shape was unfaultable. I suffer from severe back pain and Dave took the time to make sure I was doing every exercise correctly in order to strengthen and condition my muscles to prevent re-injuring myself. He encouraged me and kept me going even when I felt like everyone else was doing so much better than me. I could not have asked for a better trainer. Thanks Dave, looking forward to next year. :-) Leith |
Thanks Dave! Those early morning work outs at the Domain in the depths of winter were such a pleasure ;-) ! no in all seriousness thank you for all of your hard work in training us, your sessions were effective and informative. Your knowledge is second to none, Thank you for sharing it with us. Sarah
Dave, Thank you for your support and guidance with our fitness training. Your skills and encouragement are a credit to yourself. Jess

For the past year, David Green has been my personal trainer. In that time, he has improved my general fitness to a degree which I would not have believed possible.
His Knowledge of nutrition, understanding of the human body, and inter-personal skills, are excellent. But the most impressive thing about him is his ability to coax the best out of his clients. Under David's care, almost anything seems possible - greater stamina, better posture, even better health.
I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone, whatever their present level of fitness, because he is simply the best.

I have been training with Dave for over ten years and during this time Dave has inexorably improved my fitness, strength and mobility.
Dave has rehabilitated me after I suffered injuries from cycling, including a broken elbow and trauma relating to an accident.
Dave is most professional in his work and always cheerful, punctual, helpful and above all very motivational. I would never hesitate to recommend Dave Green to help anyone with any fitness issues or rehabilitation needs. Ian Pringle, Lawyer, Surrey, UK

In 1995, I was diagnosed as suffering from degeneration to the lower back (commonly known as wear and tear). This manifested in severe lower back pain, causing loss of mobility and stiffness, most evident after waking and long periods of sitting.
Early in 1997 I started to attend an abdominal class at the Riverside Club. I advised the instructor (Dave) of my back condition. I was encouraged to continue in the class despite the pain, and was told that by strengthening my abdominal and back muscles, my condition would improve. I continued to attend and within 6-8 weeks began to notice that not only was the stiffness reducing, my back was stronger and I was able to work with more intensity and increased mobility.
I continue to attend the class and rarely wake with back pain anymore. My abdominal and back muscles are sufficiently strong now to compensate for the wear and tear impact.
I fully support this type of training and would encourage anyone with back problems to give such exercises a try, it has certainly worked well for me.

I had keyhole surgery to my right shoulder in Feb 2013 and lost a lot of my strength in my right arm, I had follow up sessions with a physiotherapist at a local hospital however felt that I wasn't progressing very well. I was recommended to speak to Dave Green from a friend, got in touch with him and after the first session I felt that I had finally started my road to recovery.
Dave has a very professional approach explaining in detail what exercises to do and the benefits on carrying out each particular exercise. Whilst working on my shoulder he noticed that my posture was not correct as I had suffered with back problems for several years and he encouraged me to carry out some core strengthening exercises.
I had 12 sessions with Dave and not only made a full recovery from my op but with his encouragement I now carry out regular exercise and my back has felt the best it has been for years. If you need a personal trainer or even if you are suffering from aches and pains then Dave Green's your man. It's a shame he has emigrated as it's a loss to the UK but a great benefit to the people of New Zealand.

David and I met through the Canons Sport and Fitness club in Sutton where David was working as a personal trainer.
I have always found David cheerful, helpful and friendly; he has an outgoing personality and is able to present succinctly to all types of people with varying levels of fitness. In addition he demonstrates a high level of drive and enthusiasm. He is reliable and punctual and takes his commitments seriously.
David demonstrates a high level of practical knowledge with regard to general personal fitness, health and nutrition and to my knowledge keeps himself uptodate with reference to current trends and research.
I personally appreciate David's help with improving my own personal fitness. Dr Claire O'Sullivan, General Practitioner - Sutton , Surrey.

I have known David now for many years; I decided to approach him after a considerable amount of time spent with some very painful injuries.
I initially had a consultation with David, after which he was immediately able to diagnose my problems. It seems my years of discomfort stemmed from a frozen shoulder and stiffness and pain in my hips which he explained had developed through postural and muscular imbalance. David was extremely thorough in his consultation and discussed everything in a language that was easy for me to relate to and understand.
With plenty of David's care and attention to detail in our sessions, he has not only been able to rehabilitate the problems but I feel so much looser and much more mobile. Most importantly I am much happier with myself and have more energy than before.
I have found on a professional level that David is extremely helpful, knowledgeable and very patient. He is gentle with his clients and has the perfect skills to relax a patient who is suffering with an injury and the uncertainty that surrounds it.
It is with these things in mind that I would not hesitate at all in recommending David's care to people in great discomfort.

As with most people who regularly go to the gym, I had reached a plateau in both physical improvement and motivation. I contacted Dave almost a year ago and in that time have achieved more than I imagined possible.
The training sessions are tailored to my needs; be they sports specific such as to assist with my rock climbing or a kick start I have come back from an extended business trip. In addition to providing excellent guidance on the types of exercises, and the correct technique for each one, Dave also motivates me during each session.
This motivation along with steady and controlled increases in the intensity of the exercises, has resulted in progressive improvements. Coupled with sensible nutritional advice, which has led to fundamental changes in my eating habits instead of calorie counting or dieting, this holistic approach to fitness has resulted in a significant loss in weight, improved levels of both stamina and fitness, reduction in body fat and increased strength.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dave's personal training services to anyone, regardless of their fitness levels, who is looking to improve or maintain their level of fitness in a controlled, motivational and holistic manner. Stefan Nadadrajan, Business Analyst - Epsom, Surrey.

I have known Dave Green for some three years and during that time have found him to be a very genuine and sincere man.
My contact with Dave has been through my local club, where he has worked both as an employee and latterly as a freelance personal trainer in addition of course to his other training commitments.
The main outstanding qualities that I personally see in Dave are centered on his own integrity. He applies himself rigidly to the job in hand and displays his instructional skills in such a way that you always know where you are in the training program and that he is doing his very best for his clients.
It is of course vitally important in the fitness arena that these skills should predominate and that the client should not feel in anyway bullied or coerced into completing a program. Dave's obvious deep understanding of his subject, in addition to his own personal skills, guide you through the program such that at the end of the hour you wonder not only where the time went, but also that you've learned a great deal of the technical knowledge that he imparts along the way.
As a trainer myself in the world of aviation I recognise these qualities in training and can only attest to their positive outcome.
I have no doubt that with these skills behind him, his enthusiasm to learn more plus his own motivation that he will be very successful in his field.

Dave Green has been my personal trainer for about 6 months. I have always been an active person, however, since Dave has started training me the improvement in my health and fitness has been quite noticable, not just by myself but also from colleagues at work and at the gym.
Dave conducts himself very professionally and focuses completely during my workout sessions. He motivates me and makes me feel more confident in my ability to achieve my goals.
Dave has shown me how to best use the equipment without any strain on my body and shows me new exercises that I can implement in my program to give me variety in my workout.
I look and feel healthier all thanks to an excellent personal trainer. My body shape and general well being have all greatly improved.
I would, and have reccommended Dave as a personal trainer. I never dreamt that Dave would make that much difference. The only problem i can see is that if Dave retires! Barbara Burnett, Personal Assistant -Surrey
I write to confirm the Mr Dave Green, has been employed by myself as my personal fitness trainer, and for over one year, I have had weekly appointments with Dave.
Having made the commitment to stay with Dave as my personal fitness trainer, has been one of the best moves in my life. Nothing can match the individual attention of Dave, I have learnt new techniques and have become stronger and can see results in body tone, this is why I keep going back to Dave.
Dave Green as always been very, professional and caring, in that he always asks about my body condition, how I am feeling in general and how I felt after the last workout.
Dave gives me nutritional and diet help and keeps a check on what and when I haven eaten.
Dave Green has great attitude to personal training, always appears well groomed. I always like to recommend Dave, if you want to get fit, body tone and feel fantastic. Daniel James, Painter and Decorator -London.

Having been (at various points in my 2 year association with Dave) a patient, a student and suffering victim of his ministrations, it is with pleasure that I am able to highly recommend Dave Green as a competent, knowledgeable and extremely professional personal trainer.
Throughout the past 2 years I have had the pleasure of training under Dave's supervision twice a week. Initial objectives were to simply increase muscle mass, however during my time with Dave these objectives expanded to include improved flexibility, better posture and greater core stability.
Through his sessions, Dave significantly reduced the frequency which I suffered lower back pain. He also assisted greatly with my rehabilitation after an operation on my right knee.
On a more personal note, it has been a pleasure knowing Dave. His enthusiasm, sense of humor and motivational drive were exactly what was needed at the end of a hard day in the office to get me going in the gym.
I highly recommend a session or two with Mr Green! Mark Bulle - Surrey.

Dave Green has been my personal trainer for one year. My intention was to enrol for a ten week session but when the course was complete I was so impressed with the results that I continued seeing him.
Prior to Dave I was a regular user of the gym but without expert advice saw no changer to my body shape. Since training with Dave not only has my stamina increased but my body is leaner and more toned - something I had been unable to achieve during many years a the gym on my own.
Dave has also helped me with a knee injury caused during skiing. He has given me exercises to strengthen the muscles around the knee area and I have felt no discomfort for about six months.
I have recommended him to many friends and will continue to do so without hesitation. Vivenne Gibson - Ewell, Surrey.

As an employee of the Lambert Fenchurch Group, I was introduced to David Green for a weight and diet management programme following consultations with my General Practitioner. Through his direction, I have been able to achieve remarkable results.

I am a senior, long haul, cabin crew member for British Airways this entails various long distance flights, these journeys including rest and downtime, can vary in length between three to ten days and take me through the world's timezones.This can lead to serious chronic fatigue, which over time has impacted both on my physical, psychological well being and general energy levels. I joined Cannons gym in spring 2001 to address these issues. Upon joining I received a standard fitness programme from the gym team which I tried for three months, sadly i found this to be ineffective for me. I was returning jet lagged from exhausting journeys week in, week out, working in a high stress environment, and I was unable to motivate myself to use the gym effectively although i recognised that exercise was the key to building the strength required to deal with an occupation whose difficulty is often under estimated. At this point i decided to return to a personal trainer who could provide the stimulation and motivation that I so desperately needed. This is when I first met Dave Green.
The first thing that impressed me about Dave was that he listened to my needs. He heard that I was finding it difficult to rest, sleep well and deal with stress and he took onboard my desire to build energy, stamina and general fitness. My first impression was of his positive attitude coupled with his inspiring physical condition and this gave me confidence that here was a man who could tailor a programme to reap the most of the facilities on offer. This turned around my attitude to attending the gym. Our first few sessions together were physically challenging, he pushed me beyond what I thought I could achieve in my mind but recognised the limits of what my body could sustain. Over time, Dave has developed a changing programme of cardio-vascular exercise, cross training, and strength building, this keeps my attitude to our sessions fresh and positive and removes the risk of becoming resentful or weary of a standard regime.
Dave has taught me important lessons about how to rest effectively, eat well and how to maximise my energy levels. What has surprised me however, is how my sessions with Dave have developed not only my physical strength and well being but also and perhaps more importantly, how they have developed and strengthened my mental well being. I have assimilated the lessons that Dave had taught me into my work and everyday life and this has been responsible for a seismic shift in my attitude. I would consider myself now to be stronger, healthier, and above all far happier than I have ever been. I would not hesitate to recommend Dave as a trainer for anyone who would benefit from personalised, intelligent and intuitive coaching. Mr Hooks, Senior Cabin Crew - Surrey.

Following some months where getting to the gym was becoming more and more of a challenge, and then when at the gym, my time there seemed unproductive and uninspiring, I asked for Dave's help to renew my enthusiasm.
The hour long sessions were held at my home. On the first session, we discussed my goals, requirements, weaknesses and strengths and then when I subsequently saw Dave, he had a program of different and varied exercises for me to either perform at home, at the gym, or to use as a benchmark.
I found Dave to be punctual, motivational and extremely professional. I've witnessed other personal trainers who spend much of their clients time chatting with them rather than training. Whilst Dave is highly approachable and friendly, I welcomed his attitude in that for that one hour, it was about the workout/fitness with minimal distraction.
Dave has a wealth of knowledge in other fitness related areas and was also able to advise on nutrition matters and what exercises/stretching I needed to do when an old injury re-appeared.
Having known Dave for over 8 years, I recommend him without any hesitation. Mrs Nadarajan - Surrey.

I am writing regards to Dave Green who was my personal trainer working from Cannons gym, Sutton. I decided to seek the professional guidance of Dave when I recently had a baby and decided that I required specific exercises to assist with returning my body back to pre-natal times. I found Dave to be very knowledgeable and professional at all times.
He was motivating and encouraging and I felt that he took a genuine interest in my well-being. I would not hesitate in recommending him as a personal trainer. Mrs McPartlin - Surrey.
