- Client testimonials
“Five and a half years ago, after being diagnosed with Marfan's and given only a couple of years to live, I approached David & commenced rehab training. I had an implantable defibrillator and didn't have enough musculature to support me walking more than 200 metres. Today I am strong & healthy enough to enjoy a range of recreational activities & a career centred around movement. For those of you living in Brisbane, I can honestly say - you will not find anyone better than David. He is the best, or should I say some what of a genius!”
“I have had PD for 20 years. Since changing to the Ashgrove Goodlife 12 months ago and starting with David I have seen marked improvement in my mobility and quality of life. My personal mobility has improved to such a degree that I am able to walk unassisted from my home in Newmarket to the gym where I once had to catch a taxi. Where other people with PD are slowing and struggling I am improving my physical and cognitive function even now, 20 years after my initial diagnosis.”
“Five years ago at 67, I had a stroke after a brain operation. After reaching a plateau in my balance, endurance and strength I met trainer David Fernandez. David motivates me to take gradual steps to achieve improvements. He seems to have magical insights in how to improve further. Recently I went on a walking tour and walked down a rough track to the bottom of a waterfall, walked across a couple of rocks in a stream and stood there taking a photo. When I realised what I had achieved, said 'Thank you David'.”
