For a 30 trail programme this is the best. It’s body weight exercises with minimalistic equipment and CV workouts are easily tailored to suit all with adaptions if required.
The coaching staff are great and the live Q&A sessions help
The banter and encouragement from all participants is a morale and confidence boost
Now going to move to a longer programme to see where it takes me.
14lb loss 👊🏻

Hi Karl, 14 pounds in 30 days is great work and show you really followed the training and nutrition, really looking forward to continue working with you on your journey! Thanks again.

Fantastic results with a fantastic team.

Signed up to the David Kingsbury 30 Day Challenge 4 weeks after I had my Gallbladder removed in an emergency operation. I had lost 6kg of body weight in hospital and with that my confidence was rock bottom in myself and I had little to no enthusiasm for healthy eating or exercise. Upon signing up for the program with David, I instantly had access to a superb group of people with various reasons for being there, many with similar body confidence issues and all had a great sense of camaraderie. The sessions themselves were structured in easy to follow PDF guides and explanatory videos which were incredibly easy to follow and the exercises themselves catered for many different needs and abilities regardless of you fitness level. Live Q&A sessions were provided throughout the 30 days which ranged from dietary requirements to training tips with David himself. Custom calculated recipes were also provided, giving a balanced level of Macros which were tailored to your goals. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience from start to finish, not only have I taken a huge leap towards my goal of being a fitter more confident version of myself, but I have also made some fantastic new friendships along the way. David and his team were fantastic throughout the 30 Day Challenge but I feel this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the kind of results that can be achieved with their industry proven coaching programmes.

Thanks again David and the team, genuinely a life-changing experience for me. Ian C.

Absolutely first class experience from start to finish. Im so happy I joined David Kingsbury 30 day challenge, The level of support and instruction from David and the team was absolutely brilliant. I really enjoyed the whole experience , brilliant advice on training and diet, the session were fun and a great challenge, And the results I gained were way above anything I expected. I lost over a stone in weight and gained muscle, I cannot recommend David Kingsbury and his team enough. I’ve been that impressed I’m signing up for more. My advice to anyone reading this get signed you won’t be disappointed.

Fitness as part of a lifestyle

I took part in the 30 day challenge and, after a very long time, came across a group of coaches that use sustainable training and nutritional plans. The plans take a lifestyle consistently into account, with friendly and approachable advice along the way. I really enjoyed this and have been inspired to continue. The main things I have learnt are : have a plan but listen to your body and enjoy life!

Professional. Positve. Inspirational

Finally a product which actually does what is says on the tin. I was very optimistic to contact David at first, as it's not the first advert I've seen offering body transformation. Yet David and his team is so much more than this. David takes a holistic approach to your goals, and incorporates your mental health and well-being as well as your physical change. The team have gone above and beyond to support me along the way and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Professional, positive and inspirational. Thank you

Life-Changing 30 Days!

Thank you to David and the team for an amazing 30 home training plan. I turned 40 midway through and am new to this type of training but would now say I'm near the best shape of my life. I've never liked gyms, or gym-people, but the coaches, coaching and community fostered by David and the team have converted me. I wish I had found something like this twenty years ago!

David Kingsbury is the Best Trainer Anyone Could Ask For

I have been a customer of David’s for years and plan on continuing to use his services for as long as humanely possible. On top of providing customized workouts and meal plans that work, he’s there for me at a moments notice to help. I have never worked with someone as devoted to his craft as David. He’s been there for me every step of the way and with his help, I was able to get in the best shape, mentally and physically of my life. David is second to none!

Best training and diet I've ever had

I'm following Davids online beyond program for a year now. I came across David when I was getting into training again and read an article from Hugh Jackman in Muscle&Fitness.

When I found myself almost giving up for not getting the results I wanted and trying every weird diet there is, not being really motivated anymore, I decided to subscribe to Davids Kingsbury online training.

David has a very basic, no nonsense training schedule, In wich you have a saying what equipment you have, what you're maun goal is. Through a good tracking system every week, in wich you fill in your weight and results from that week, from sleeping to eating to training ,David can measure you're results and make some adjustments if needed. It's brilliant and David moslty replies in 12 hours or sooner with me.

Then there 's the food. You can choose between vegetarian or carnivore in your meals and let me tell you, they're delicious. Simple recipes, all fastly done in 10-25 mins and calculated into your macros, depending how much calories you consume, in wich David helps you check whats best suited for your plan.

Even now in Covid-19 period, David keeps me motivated when I feel my own motivation is lower then normal and his recipes keeping me healthy and on track with my weight.

I really recommend David if you want to have a fun basic training system from 3-4 days a week, delicious meals wich make you look like a good cook and getting results in a normal no nonsense way.
Like Hugh Jackman said "This is the best trainer ever worked with. You're in safe hands"

I came across David Kingsbury while…

I came across David Kingsbury while browsing the internet by the pool on holiday last summer .i had been training for years without any direction and was spending hour after hour in the gym with little change to my physique .
Returned from holiday & requested a call from David who explained the process & what i could expect to see . i immediately signed up to a 12 week Beyond plan .that was september .
i received my plan , recipes & diet within a few days & set to work , hard work .After 16 weeks on Beyond and a couple of new workout plans & macros being adjusted throughout i was in quite literally the best shape of my life at 53yrs old . abs , obliques on show dropping my bodyfat to around 10-12% . (the before and after photos have my family & friends amazed ) this included 3 work trips into europe & the xmas binge (2 days )
Once i got the first 4 weeks out of the way i started to fully trust the process as i could see the change, but for me the accountability of checking in every week & knowing the support is on hand ensures you stay consistent .i continue to work with David & am now on a lean bulk phase and enjoying it . i would not hesitate to recommend David as an online coach . he is committed to delivering the results we would normally dream of .

Excellent service, visible results + good food!

I’m a client now for more than three years and I guess that sums it up. No more occasional PT sessions from local gyms where, sad to say, the quality and service often leaves room for improvement. David’s always there for support, training can be tailored to one’s needs, goals and time available. And what’s also very important, to take into account possible injuries or other limitations. Plus there are plenty of excellent recipies to choose from. There’s just one problem: Batch cooking is hard when the wife comes and wants a share.
Definitively worth every penny!

David Kingsbury - is simply the Best ;)

David Kingsbury - Thank you!!! You changed not just my life - but my outlook on fitness and nutrition forever ;)

I signed on with David after reading about him in 2016. Since then, I have seen my results in 12 weeks and kept on signing back with him.
He inevitably changed my lifestyle as I incorporated his workouts and meals to my daily life.

The meals were easy to make, the options are many and tasty (I might add), and you can find the ingredient anywhere. Nutrition I found was the biggest part of this journey - and with his meals I was able to gage how to eat out when there are (of course many) functions and go back to the "meal plan' .

The workouts were just SIMPLE and easy to follow - I was able to get through at my lunch hour on a weekly basis - and the rest was all up to me with the guidance from David when I needed it.

I cant praise David enough - as he HELPS may people achieve what they want....people like me! Thank you David!

Hi Jenn,

Always been a pleasure to work with you, your attuitude to following the plan has been excellent. I think making the food easy to follow is always key to results.

Fitting it around your lifetsyle should always be the priority rather than the other way around.

Thanks again

In the Best Shape of My Life...

They say never meet your heroes... well I definitely have to disagree! I've had the opportunity of travelling to K1 in Beaconsfield to train with David in the most impressive, stimulating environment with the most desirable equipment I've seen. This man has not only trained some of the most well known high profile actors/actresses known in modern day movies... but in my mind, he has trained, advised and built the ultimate physique... the Wolverine, Hugh Jackman.

David has taught me that it is possible to get the body you want... regardless of age, lifestyle and fitness level. My main downfall before meeting David was that I labelled every goal with ‘6 weeks’... and when those 6 weeks had gone, I would beat myself up that I sometimes hadn’t fully achieved them... the reality is that fitness goals take time, a solid routine and consistency. I have thoroughly benefitted over the last 5 years by following David’s nutrition plan, fitness plan, advice and immense knowledge... and will definitely continue to do so.

At 42 years of age, I'm currently in the best condition of my life! I can most definitely assure you that online training does work! Thanks for everything David!

The Best in the Business

I've been working with David via his online Beyond training program for a little over 3 years. It has been a revelation. If you only read the first paragraph, know this: It has been a phenomenal experience, worth many times what I've paid for it. It's been my most successful investment, and I would recommend David to anyone who wants to take control and get serious about fitness.

David takes great care of his clients. With the Beyond program, I receive tailored training based on my goals. He listens to your feedback, motivates you and makes adjustments when necessary. I've never had a question go unanswered or an email that hasn't been responded to.

Every phase I've done with David has challenged me, both physically and mentally. I'll admit there have been times I've looked at a new program and wondered if I was capable of it. But David asks that you 'trust the process', and he has a talent for knowing my limits better than I know them myself. Each new phase has brought success.

The meal plan you are presented with is the best I've ever seen. You are provided with an embarrassment of options for every meal, with custom calculated calories and macros that are adjusted as needed. Honestly, the meal plan alone is worth the price of the program. It is insanely good.

I turned 50 this year, and I am in the best physical shape of my life. All credit goes to David. I've tried other programs, but David provided me with a comprehensive structure and a supportive environment to work within. To call it a plan doesn't really do the service he provides justice. The physical training, meal plans and support are more than the sum of the individual components.

I honestly can't say enough about David. It's pretty amazing that anyone can have the opportunity to work with one of the best trainers on the planet. If you supply the discipline and the hard work, and trust the process, the results will come.

Hi Derek,

It has been a fun journey so far, I'm so pleased you have enjoyed the process so far. I do try and work hard to make the process enjoyable and the food a pleasure to eat. I think it is the only way to make it maintainable and actually get results.

Your results prove this and I will continue to enjoy training you as we move forward.

Thanks again.

I Would be Lost Without David Kingsbury

I have done a lot of online training and workouts but David Kingsbury is by far the one program that got me the results I was looking for. He tailored programs for me and my specific goals including strength training, cardio and nutrition program. He will also suggest supplements if you want them.

As I have trained my goals have changed as I got more fit and hit targets -- David worked with me on taking things to the next level. David's supervision and access made my plan adaptable at every step. He keeps adding new recipes and new current training moves every month so its never boring or repetitive.

This is what I really needed in a fitness program.

I would be lost without him!

Hands down The Best Value in Fitness.

I’ve worked with David through his Beyond program for two years now, and I can say that the experience has been amazing. David will challenge and support you, and the effectiveness of his programs will astonish you if you put in the work.

In my first 12 weeks training with David I was enrolled in a transformation challenge with Gold’s Gym. Through our work together we placed 1st at the local gym level and 13th in the entire nation in my age group. 24 lbs lost in that period, plus muscle gained. Which shows me we did it in a very efficient manner.

Since that time David has continued to support my training, continuously modifies my program to fit my goals and to ensure progress. The level of motivation, support and customization offered through these plans is bar none.

No review can adequately portray how effective working with David can be. You have to train to really see the beauty of just how easy he makes it to meet your goals.
Fitness is not effortless. It’s hard work. But with David it IS simple and easy. The only thing you have to do is dial in and trust the program and it’s impossible to mess it up.

I highly recommend Kingsbury’s programs. You will meet your goals, learn real lessons about nutrition and training and clear alway any mystification or misinformation you’ve had around effective fitness training.

Wow! What a personal trainer

David is the absolute legitimate font of all knowledge. He puts the "personal" into Personal trainer. His online program, not only offers the right level of challenge for you to meet your goals, but also the ongoing support and guidance from a person who is at the absolute top of the industry. His work simply speaks for itself (Look at Wolverine!). I myself am now 47, in the best shape of my life, and actual enjoy the programs. I cannot recommend David highly enough. If you have hit the limit of what you can do on your own, David will certainly guide you to that next, really unbelievable level.

I have used David’s services for approx 18 months. During this time, David has been fantastic.....every four weeks I get a new program, with weekly check in and catch ups via email. Personally I usually email David weekly about training support and he always responds quickly. And the food menu and receipes.......wow - I have never eaten so well.

Highly Recommended 25kgs Lost with David

The best way I can recommend David is to share my experiences with you and where David has been invaluable to my success. The TL;DR is I would never hesitate in recommending David to anyone as an investment in themselves. I can also be certain that David’s profile isn’t fake as I was lucky enough to train in person multiple times. David is responsive, attentive to detail and supportive with his clients. David is very personable and backs up what he is talking about with research and knowledge from his experience. Many people know David from his film work, for me I stumbled across him accidentally and I liked how he understood the pressures of working hard and being a Dad. David is a top bloke and a top trainer.

In 2013 I walked into a large commercial gym weighing 123kg with a poor handle on nutrition (did not know what a macro was) and not having exercised properly for several years. I started to get a basic understanding of nutrition and started exercising more, but I never broke a habit. I’d lose weight and gain it again and although I tried hard I did not see sustained results for my efforts.

In 2018 I was at 116kg, having probably lost about 40kg in total but gained it back over and over. My lifestyle is hectic, I work over 50 hours most weeks and commute for 4 hours some days. In some ways finding David was the answer I’d been looking for some time.

I’ve used several of David’s services the main one has been Beyond. Within days David provided me with a training plan tailored to me. I have some old injuries and David was able to work around those and substitute exercises that I wasn’t able to do. I send David videos of my form when I was unsure and he quickly responded with help and training points.

The one thing that David balances well is the focus on nutrition and training and takes those into account for you. It’s actually really easy for me now I just have to be accountable and hit my training and nutrition targets.

Overall I’ve lost a sustained 25kg with David and I am moving into a new phase with David where I’ll be focusing on taking the losses further on his plan. I’ve also had several video calls with David where we’ve been able to discuss onward motivation and any changes required in the training/nutrition plans. I’m very happy with David’s training and I am lucky to have him in my corner!

As an extra point to this review during COVID and personal events in the last few months David has been so supportive going above and beyond just being a trainer. The money I have spent with David has literally changed my life.
