David Kingsbury Reviews 

During lock down I put on weight and was close to the heaviest I have ever been, I wanted to get back into shape and began to look everywhere for a trainer. I signed up quickly to a few different places online but the fit just wasn't right, I felt like just another number and it wasn't the personal touch I needed. Being in my mid thirties with two kids, I knew that I needed a bit more to help me bounce back and that's when I found David Kingsbury Training. I was intrigued with David's resume and thought the price was fair enough to give it a shot. After six months now I can say this has been the best decision I've made. My trainer Chris has been there for me every step of the way, even has helped me get through some of the most difficult things in my life that weren't even fitness related. Knowing that he has my back and is encouraging me throughout this process helps me knock out each workout. I love how the workouts have progressed and made me stronger than I have ever been while only using the most basic of gym equipment at my home. One thing I have always struggled with is the nutrition side, having Chris give me macro breakdowns and suggestions for meals and keeping my focus on hitting my daily calories counts has helped immensely. After six months, I am down 27 pounds (12.247 kg) and am super close to the goal we have set. I am looking forward to continuing this journey and getting in the best shape of my life. My wife has been super impressed with the results and has even signed up herself. Training together has given us extra motivation to crush each workout. Thank you Chris!

I had a very specific goal of getting ripped for 1 particular shot in a tv series.
1 had trained my self for 4 weeks during lockdown and don’t feel I was getting the results I desired.
I had met with several other trainers and none were as well equipped (with the app) or as involved and supportive as David’s Team.
I was assigned Chris Emmet who immediately understood what I needed to do and immediately knew the plan he was going to implement.
For the next 8 weeks I was assigned a calorie count to hit along with the number of steps I should be taking and all the workouts clearly set out on the app. With videos of all the techniques so there was no danger of injury.
Chris was able to log in to all the apps that I was using to track things and keep me honest.
Along with my weekly call to adapt and tweak things depending how it was going and regular WhatsApp’s of support or answering any questions I had.
I didn’t feel like anything was being missed and we were utilising our time to the best of our ability.
I thought it was expensive at first but when I realised the level of support and how it was tailored specifically to me-it was worth it.
On the day of the shoot I was in better shape than I had ever been. I wasn’t hungry or tired or fatigued.
Thank you Chris.

If your serious about changing the way you train in the gym, then look no further than David Kingsbury, I’ve been on the program now for 6 weeks,it’s totally changed my outlook to fitness in the long term, the main thing that’s come out of it is that it’s not a sprint, but a marathon, a program is tailored to you personally,with a food plan, that by the way is unreal, the variety is outstanding, you can eat all your favs
A weekly call with your mentor is part of the program, to discuss how you are, it really helps your motivation, I could go on and on, but honestly if your looking fo an honest to goodness training regime that works give these guys a call, you won’t regret it.

Anything worth doing, is worth doing properly…

I started the year really needing a change and a friend recommended David Kingsbury. You have to be organized and plan your meals but the process is actually really easy once you get started…follow the plan - eat the food and do the workouts. Everything is made personal to you e.g. weights of food etc

The workouts are fun and take about 30 to 40 mins, four times a week. I really enjoy them. I even said I would prefer more exercises with less reps and the changes were made there and then so it kept me engaged…I really liked this.

The food…there is lots of choice. Meatballs and pasta, chicken and rice, chicken bagels…chocolate moose!

The results are well worth the effort…my trainer was very supportive and encouraging which helped me make myself accountable.

Yes I still enjoy myself, have the odd pint and (finally) can go out with friends again but 90% of the time I eat healthy. It is actually a really easy life style change.

Something I am glad I am doing…

I'll just say firstly that the workouts and diet plan are sound, no doubt about that. But for £287 for 8 weeks and then £97 a month I expected better value.

The Good - the workouts, which are planned for you using your own equipment.
The recipes, which are supplied adapted to your recommended daily calorie intake.
Email support - If you have any questions, you can email your trainer and receive a reply usually the next day, sometimes the same day. You can email video of yourself and receive critique on your form.

This stuff is all good and really helpful.

The not so good - At no time during the 8 weeks did anyone directly get in touch to see how I was doing or ask if I needed any help/advice. Unless you contact your trainer with a question, your hear nothing from them.
I expected on a course like this there would be at least some form of communication from the programme owners, even if it was just a periodic informational email about fitness or nutrition, but no, nothing. I purchased this as I've been working out for a couple of years and felt I needed guidance but I don't feel I received much.

The web portal has your workout, which includes silent videos of the exercises, the diet plan in a kind of pdf format and your calendar/schedule which is like an excel spreadsheet. But that's pretty much it, there are no resources in there or tips on nutrition or explanations about anything, nada. It's basically just an online worksheet.

When your 8 weeks is up, boom, access denied. No notice, nobody gets in touch to see how you've found the course, how you're getting on, in fact I haven't been asked once what I thought of any of it.

The app - oh dear, the app! Frustrating at best, I ended up inputting the info into a different app that's more user friendly.

So the meat and potatoes of it are sound but the 'environment' if you like is completely non existent. No follow up, no progress reports, no check ins, nothing.

For £287 initially followed by £97 a month which, lets face it, is at least twice what regular gym membership usually costs and you are supplying your own gym, I would have expected a more hands on and interested approach from the David Kingsbury Fitness team. In fact, the seeming lack of interest and communication from them throughout is the thing that has irritated me the most.

Maybe I expect too much but I felt pretty shortchanged by the whole experience. Worth a one off purchase at a lower price for the initial information but not worth a high monthly subscription in my experience.

I have been training with Jonathon from David Kingsbury for the last few months. Prior to this, I had made so many stop-start attempts to try and make improvements to my fitness (I am seeking to drop body fat). It is clear to me that Jonathon is an excellent coach both in relation to providing interesting training plans which are varied and challenging but, for me, the real value he has added is a willingness to walk the journey with me. I haven't managed to dent his optimism with my intermittment progress and he has been unfailing in his positive attitude that has helped me move towards consistency. He is always available to provide guidance and advice regarding any challenges which come up and I have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending him as a coach. Although I am coming towards the end of my current arrangement, I will be renewing. Mark W

Currently, I’m through week 5 of this program. I honestly did not think it possible to be where I am right now. As a busy single father of 5 and an entrepreneur with 4 businesses I have ownership in, I truly did not believe there was a way to incorporate a good diet and exercise into my life. I’m happy to say, my personal trainer Dean has proven me wrong. With his guidance, this program has been a breeze to adopt into my life. From the outset, the goal I have clearly stated for Dean to target is to set me up for a sustainable lifestyle I can maintain indefinitely. I just 5 weeks, I can clearly see I am well on my way! I’m working out 4 days a week, fitting it around my busy life. My diet has improved greatly, but I don’t feel like I am sacrificing. Somehow, I’m pulling it off and it doesn’t even feel like a sacrifice. I have to give credit where credit is due: Dean has been outstanding to work with. He keeps me in line without being at all overbearing. He gives me reasonable targets and challenges but doesn’t push me to the point where it’s no longer sustainable. He even goes out of his way to take extra phone calls and answer my questions along the way. Steady progress and small changes week to week is making huger differences! For the first time in my life, I enjoy working out, I think about my food choices, I even go out of my way to look at exercise equipment - who does that? Again, I didn’t believe it could be done without my family or businesses sacrificing, yet here it is happening and has only brought positive results to my life with literally no downside. I’m well on my way to a lifetime of health and fitness and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Dean and the David Kingsbury program! By the way, I am not much of a review writer and have no incentive to write this. I’m just that happy with the results, tho program, and my personal trainer!

I've been training under Taimar for 3 weeks now and I can't tell you how much better I feel already! From the first phone conversation I had with her, I could tell that she was hugely experienced and really understood what I wanted to get out of my coaching (I'm an ex-dancer who is now a mum of 2 and my body is not what it once was!).

The app is brilliant, if I had a small criticism it would be that it's a little buggy when viewing the meal plan on there, but it's not a huge thing and you can login via the computer. I have a massive meal plan that has so many choices, tall with the exact amount of macros for me so I have lots of freedom to vary my diet which I love. I can also track my progress with photos, measurements and a chart to compare each week. Making such brilliant progress is so encouraging, and having Taimar's guidance means that I really don't have to think about what I need to do to get in shape - it's all there for me and I just need to follow it. This was the biggest draw for me.

My workouts are challenging, targeted specifically for me, and you follow it along on the app, so each set is marked off and I can record (and compare with other workouts) how many reps I'm doing and what weight. I had a couple of questions about an exercise or two, and Taimar responded to me with help swiftly and in detail.

I now that by nature a lot of programs like this may attract male clients (and my husband is also following the plan with a male trainer), but to have a female coach who thoroughly understands the female body and how to effectively train it is invaluable. Excited to see how far I can go - life changing for me so far, I feel wonderful!

My trainer, Chris, was an exceptional coach. He provided very detailed and helpful guidance and direction, useful tools to measure progress, and thoughtful support to troubleshoot challenges. I'd highly recommend him and David's program for anyone interested in unlocking their health and fitness goals.

I've been working with David Kingsbury since early December 2020. The approach and plan was tailored to me, taking account of some specific training that was needed. The educational side of why I needed a certain balance of proteins and carbs was brilliant and really helped with keeping things on track. A nice app, linked with a nutrition app meant I could keep the team up to date with daily weigh-ins and nutrition.

The biggest thing for me - it's changed long standing habits which mean that even after I stop working directly with the David Kingsbury team, I should maintain exactly what I've managed to achieve.

I'd certainly recommend working with these guys.

David and his team provide detailed well consider plans for both training and nutrition that are fun, challenging and effective, highly recommended !!!

Recently had the opportunity to give the 30 day challenge ago with David & his Team (November 2020)

I was a little sceptical about giving this a go as it’s something I’ve not done but to be honest I was very surprised with the effort put in by their team and the welcoming from the coaches and others alongside the group who were in the challenge too!

I would highly recommend David & his team!

Thanks

I started the 30 day challenge very sceptical. You see all sorts of adverts with comparison photos, promising results in no time at all. I’ve seen David’s adverts for a while and read some reviews including men’s health and thought I would try it. The approach was very simple, well explained workouts and nutrition. David and his team are very approachable with regular online question and answer sessions. I was also able to email them and get a reply within a couple of hours. What I have been taught has not only made a good foundation but started good habits. Understanding my body and what it needs has made the process very informative. I’m 47 years old and I’ve lost nearly 5kgs even though I’ve had to go light for a week due to illness. I’ve enjoyed the workouts, the meals have been tasty and haven’t been restrictive. My body has started to change shape and I feel better for it. If you are serious about making some positive changes in your life and some good habits this is the plan to follow.

Having been working with David and his Team for 30 days I can't recommend them enough. Trying to meet your Fitness goals, whether that be losing weight or trying to gain muscle mass, is extremely challenging. It takes dictation, commitment and consistency. David and his Team have been there throughout, providing feedback, workouts and recipes that make this whole process easier. No matter what situation you find yourself in, they taylor the workouts to you and what kit you have available. What you do with them is sustainable and achievable; put the effort in and you will be rewarded. This is no fad diet; they help create a change in your lifestyle that will see you reaping the benefits, not just now, but also in the long-term. Highly recommended.

If your having doubts about taking up the opportunity to better yourself then let me just clarify you won’t be disappointed with David Kingsbury and his team of coaches.
I was over the moon that I managed to lose a stone in just 30 days!
I invested in a 30 day challenge where meals were set out on day 1 by David who calorie counted them to my exact goals I set, the along side that was rang of various workout routines all choreographed by David and his team.
The whole program was a very clear structured approach, nothing like I had come across or done before and the best thing about it is you can do it in the luxury of your home and better still the workouts didn’t take any longer than 25-30 minutes to get the results you want.
If your going to invest time in yourself look no further!

I have just completed the 30 challenge with David and his team and I have to say it has been a great experience.
The program is well thought out and gave me the confidence and motivation to make the most out of the challenge from a physical and nutritional stand point.

I have lost fat and grown muscle in the last 30 days and with the knowledge I have gained through the last 30 days I can carry that on into the future.

Credit to David and his team who have really inspired me into achieving my fitness goals although there is still a way to go!

Thank you

I have used David’s coaching programmes on a couple of occasions with great success. My first time with working for 12 weeks on a 1-2-1 online basis I achieved the best results I’d ever had and was in the best shape I’d ever been in. Would highly recommend! I learnt a lot and his approach to nutrition really helped too.

I joined the 30 day home training program just before gyms closed during the second lockdown. From start to finish the program and coaching has been spot on, simply can’t fault it.

I’m actually jealous of anyone that gets to experience it for the first time like I did. Imagine how it felt watching your favourite box set for the first time! Thankfully there’s another season of my new favourite box set and I’m highly motivated to discover what’s in store for my training with these guys.

Stay the course and results will follow.

Want to hear more about my experience without any season spoilers? Read on:

•I’ve seen results in 30 days that I’d been struggling to see with workout routines at other gyms(before and after photos are useful if you’re serious about measuring results).

•Program was perfectly pitched and scaled for all abilities (workouts and nutrition).

•Videos introduced the workouts/format each day plus a supporting PDF.

•Nutritional element given just as much focus to build better habits (shopping list, food portions and meals).

•Last but not least, knowledgeable friendly and supportive coaches at every touch point. I’ve had zero injuries whilst following the program.

David & his team are nothing short of geniuses! I embarked on the 30-Day Training programme and loved every minute of it.

It has equipped me better than ever to continue on my journey for improved fitness, loss of significant body fat and development of muscle to provide me with greater body confidence.

They have opened my eyes up to a number of new training options, and given me first class nutritional advice.

All leading to me being the most motivated I have been in years, to continue with the good progress already made.

The team are first class, very approachable and personable, with a fantastic and flexible approach to training to meet your goals.

If you get the chance to train with them, jump at it, as you will not be in the slightest bit disappointed.
