Dave has 24 years experience in Strength Training, Human Performance, and Exercise Science. Born and raised in Hamden, CT, he began his career as a body builder and certified personal trainer.

Training Philosophy

Our bodies are not designed to work in one plane of motion. The machine movements you perform in the fitness centers have absolutely no carry over to real life. The engineering of our bodies are designed to move freely in multidirectional planes. We professionally feel there is a lack of personal attention, and education at the local fitness center. Many "so called trainers" show exercises based on personal opinion, perception, and of course sensation. Results Plus trainers understand that "just because you feel it, does not mean you are working it. You could be straining not training." You can't change anatomy and the way it functions! So caution to the genetic athlete with no education, "One size does not fit all."

Discouraged with common gym science and compulsory movements, he set out to change the fitness industry by setting new standards and proper training methods based on the function of one's individual anatomy, not a manufactured machine.

A Message from Dave The goal of the Results Plus Personal Training program is to establish objective decision making into the implementation of exercise, to omit the conventional cookie cutter type recommendations you would find at the local fitness center or gym, to look beyond traditional exercise myths and incorporate sound movements. For the last 25 years, I've maintained the desire to impart only the truth about exercise. I always have believed that a moment of insight is worth a lifetime's experience. We are all victims of the my guru can beat up your guru mentality, which encourages the pubic to become followers of some genetic gym/fitness trainer's own personal experiences. I have learned most trainers who are employed by a Gym or Fitness center are nothing more than RENT-A-BUDDIES. (DON'T PAY FOR THAT) I believe that personal experience, and the way an exercise feels, is the furthest thing from anatomical efficiency, joint function, and muscular action. The science behind the movements, correcting posture so the exercise can be performed safely, more efficiently and with fewer struggles is what I recommend. I personally guarantee the Results Plus program is people sensitive and accurate. Understanding how the body functions makes result easily obtained. A wish changes nothing... a decision will change everything!
