Dave was phenomenal. I sought him out because I was struggling with lower back, knee, and sciatic pain. Over time, he helped me get back to a pain-free lifestyle. He takes the time to thoroughly explain his methods, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about his clients. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for real results and lasting relief.

I am a distance runner and have frequently struggled with shin and ankle pain late in races. Dave had me do some nerve slacking and tensing moves and other very helpful drills that have worked absolute magic. We have also worked on breathing exercises. I have extended the length of my runs and improved my times, while being pain-free. I have tried many traditional methods, but none have yielded the results that I have gotten by working with Dave. Also, he is a very friendly and personable guy who provides a comfortable environment to train. Try a session with him, you won’t be dissappointed!

David is a master as his craft. During our meeting he demonstrated to me that I have both a stretching and ligament issue. He successful showed me some critical exercises that I have been using. Shortly after our meeting, I flew to CA to run in the Big Sur Marathon. While I had been running more during the winter months, my training fell off during April. ( I own a tax & accounting business). His work, thought and insights were extremely valuable to me not just running this race, more importantly that I was walking around the next day. Thank you David, if you are a runner, golfer, or any other type of older athlete you need to have a session with Dave. #lifechanging

Years ago, I met Dave while attending a Z Health course. When we met, I was truly impressed with his ability to organize the curriculum which led me to believe he really enjoyed learning the material and implementing the information with his clients.

After covid my training business changed and I needed help with restructuring my business online and so this led me to call Dave to receive some coaching on how to work with my clients and my own personal goals.

I consider Dave to be one of the best coaches because he really shows how much he cares and goes out of his way to help his clients achieve all of their goals. His coaching helped me to stay focused on rebuilding my business, offered insightful solutions to problems and created accountability so I could accomplish all of my goals.

I am so grateful I met Dave and can reach out to a colleague and friend whenever I need help. His dedication to his clients is first class level and I appreciated his coaching immensely. He is a great example of why there is a saying, “yes, even coaches need coaches”.

After two years of more traditional forms of therapy for brain injury recovery, I wasn't totally better. I'd done vestibular, visual, cranial-sacral, prolotherapy, OT, etc. I've been working with Dave for only 3 months, and the amount of improvement is amazing. My energy is way better, I'm able to walk much more normally, and he helped me make incredible progress on some serious visual/vestibular issues. I think the Z-Health Performance education approach will eventually become a mainstream therapy. As a practitioner, Dave is first-class: he problem solves, is an amazing communicator, and has a fitness background, so it's sort of like having a coach/trainer, which is unbelievably helpful and something I've never received anywhere else. I can't recommend Dave highly enough."

Dave is thoughtful, skilled, and a data driven wellness professional. He helped me over the course of just a couple of weeks recover from an elobow injury when self help stretching and icing routines weren't working. We used remote video sessions to accommodate my busy schedule.

Everyone knows, "the Knee bone is connected to the thigh bone..." but Dave knows the radial nerves that run through in your left arm are connected to other nerve strands and the cortex and right brain hemisphere. He uses that knowledge to watch and help measure the effectiveness of various stretches and routines he customized for my elbow injury.

Pretty sure that if I had connected with him sooner, I could have avoided a bunch of pain and walking around work in an arm brace.

I recommend seeking Dave's help before or in addition to a physical therapy for a quicker recovery. You'll gain an understanding of complementary approaches which target the nerves and brain that massages and ice can't touch.

Z-Health is an amazing tool for unlocking the body’s potential and Dave was the perfect person to help me learn and utilize the tool. I had been introduced to Z-Health by a couple people in my life but was told by people that I respect that Dave was an expert and he helped me, both individually and in a group setting, to fully integrate Z-Health into my fitness routine, particularly as it relates to golf. Dave worked with me to create customized routines that I could use for workouts, to improve deficiencies and directly in conjunction with golf. I started working with Dave last Spring and I hit the golf ball the best that I have in my life over the course of the 2022 golf season. I saw my first success doing a 5 or 10 minute routine before hitting balls at the range and was amazed by the difference I saw.
Z-Health helped me explore ranges of motion that I wasn’t using and I could immediately feel more width in my golf swing. My balance felt significantly better and we did vision drills that helped my eyes focus better while staying relaxed. One of the things I like the best about Dave’s process is that we try different exercises and then can assess whether they help me or not. I’ve kept a list of a number of movements to which my body responds well and work through these quickly before playing golf, before going running or before any kind of movement. Dave even created multiple workout videos that I could follow along with. One of the core tenets of Z-Health is “use it or lose it” and I’m confident I’m letting my body maintain ranges of motion that I inhibit for most of every day by sitting in front of a computer. I highly recommend both Dave and Z-Health. Please contact me if could provide any information on my experience.

Dave is not your average trainer. His brain based approach takes into account your body’s specific needs. It’s a unique approach that can accommodate those simply wanting to get stronger as well as those dealing with years of chronic pain (and everything in between).

I've worked with Dave for multiple ailments - specifically: calf strain from running and neck/shoulder impingement - and he has been able to help me eliminate pain every time. He is extremely thorough and does a complete assessment before providing guidance on exercises to help eliminate the pain. His knowledge and passion are unmatched and I highly recommend him for anyone that needs help with pain issues.

In 2020 I found myself in unmanageable pain with no clue how to fix it. I had been to doctors, done multiple rounds of PT and nothing was working. I finally decided I needed to give neuro training a chance because all of the body forward approaches were not working. I found Dave via mutual connection and reached out for help. Within 2 weeks of working together, my pain went from a 10 to a 6, and now 2 years later I’m essentially pain-free. If issues pop up, I am equipped to handle them and they do not last.

Dave is compassionate, knowledgeable, and lots of fun to work with. If you’re dealing with an issue and traditional medical approaches have failed you, this is your sign to call him.
While you’ll do regular exercises with him, he utilizes a brain-based style of training that helps to better regulate your nervous system. Since working with Dave, I am no longer sore for days after workouts, my anxiety has reduced, and I am immensely stronger and more confident in what my body can do.

Whether you need to get out of pain, feel stronger, play better golf, or you just need a change because what you’re currently doing isn’t really going anywhere, Dave is the guy to call. I only wish I had gotten started sooner and not lost a year trying to fix stuff myself.

I walk out of each session with Dave amazed by how moving my body a certain way could relieve my chronic pain.

There were days where I tried to cancel on Dave bc my pain was so bad and he said I promise if you come I can help lower your pain level and each time he surpassed my expectations.

I have spent years going from one doctor to the next. 95% of those doctors wanted to prescribe pills instead of thinking outside the box as to what is truly causing my pain. Dave thinks out of the box, Dave LISTENS about how I’m feeling.

I was in a very dark place prior to starting with Dave, when one day I received a phone call from an old friend who said I know someone who can help you, pleas try Dave, I know he can help you. I didn’t have much to lose. That phone call changed my life. Dave has been by my side and makes himself available to any questions or concerns i may have and he has taught me how strong I really am. Dave reminds me that even though I may have a few issues I’m working on, I got the whole rest of my body that’s working pretty darn well.

From the eye exercises, blowing bubbles with a straw and even the dreaded deadlifts, we are always having fun.

Even though I’d like to keep Dave all to myself, I can’t help but let the secret out that making that phone call will change your life too.

I started training with Dave because I could hardly walk after a difficult pregnancy and birth. His in-depth knowledge and unique approach to brain based healing and fitness changed my life. He went the extra mile by reaching out to other experts in the field, researching various relevant studies and always being so supportive of my progress. After a solid 18 months of training and doing drills on my own, I am now able to run consistently and enjoy being physically active on a daily basis. Fenomenal is truly phenomenal.

I had the incredible privilege of working with Dave, a brain-based coach trainer who completely transformed my perspective during one of the toughest phases of my life. This individual's ability to tap into the depths of human potential is nothing short of remarkable.

In times when I felt utterly lost and devoid of hope, Dave stood by me as a beacon of encouragement. His approach was simple yet immensely powerful, making me believe in myself even when I thought there was nothing left to believe in. It was as if he had a direct line to my mind, gently guiding me towards the light at the end of the tunnel.

What truly sets Dave apart is his next-level understanding of the human brain. He delved deep into the intricate workings of the mind, uncovering the hidden strengths that I never knew existed. His insights were like keys that unlocked doors to my potential, giving me the tools to overcome challenges I once thought insurmountable.

But it's not just about techniques or strategies. Dave connects to something fundamental within us, something that defines our very essence. He takes you to the source of what it means to be human – our resilience, our capacity for growth, and our ability to thrive in the face of adversity.

If you find yourself in need of guidance, empowerment, and a renewed sense of purpose, I wholeheartedly recommend Dave, the brain-based coach trainer. He's not just a coach; he's a catalyst for transformation, an unwavering supporter, and a guide who leads you to the heart of your own potential. Working with Dave has been an invaluable experience that I will cherish forever.

I worked with Dave for 2 years and had fantastic results - unfortunately our time ended because I relocated to California. I'm an avid cyclist and started with Dave after a crash resulted in a broken collarbone. I needed to start resistance training to rebuild my upper body and Dave was great - making sure we went slow and steady with good form - so as to not aggravate my injury. He also listened to my requests for cycling specific strength exercises. These led to better event results, including finishing in the top 15% of my age group in the New York Gran Fondo (100 mile ride) in 2017.

I can recommend Dave and his approach without hesitation!

Dave’s a very open, receptive, and flexible trainer. Aside from being a person to put me through a workout, Dave’s immensely helped back pain that I’ve experienced – I went from being unable to sit/stand/walk without intense pain, to doing almost anything I want with minimal to no pain. Using unconventional methods, I appreciate the hard work and time Dave puts into his clients. I recommend everyone work with Dave and Fenomenal Fitness!!!
