Training for the past year and a half with David allowed me to take a bucket list trip to snorkel in the Galapagos and climb Machu Picchu. Having two bad knees, a weak core and limited upper body strength, I was in no condition to take this physically taxing trip. By consistently working out with David’s supervision, support and encouragement, I have gained strength, flexibility and balance throughout my body. I was able to swim against strong currents in the Galapagos, pull myself up into a pitching boat and walk on jagged surfaces and rocks with confidence. As we toured Peru in extreme altitudes, I walked up and down steep hills, steep stone stairs and cobbled streets for hours. The time spent working out and having David push me to lift heavier weights, do deeper squats and pushups, hold correct planks, maintain challenging balance holds and do high intensity cardio has paid huge dividends in not only living daily life but taking this amazing trip of a lifetime and thoroughly enjoying it despite the physical rigor.”
