Client Testimonials | Dave Janik

Dave gets more out of me than I thought was possible

I first met Dave when I was in NYC for a month on business and wanted to continue training. I was then offered a job in New York and quite honestly, a big part of my decision to accept the position was that I knew I had found a trainer who could get me where I wanted to go. Ten months later, I am down over 80 pounds and have NEVER felt like this. Physically, the transformation has been quite amazing. What I did not expect and what was not a part of my motivation in this process is what happened to me mentally. I am sharper and more confident than I have ever been in my life. I told Dave recently that he gets more out of me than I thought was possible. As far as I am concerned, the sky is the limit with this man. In my 10 months, I have observed other trainers at the gym. Although many are terrific, none - as far as I am concerned - pays the attention to detail of movement the way that Dave does. In addition, the attention Dave pays to his clients outside of the gym makes this a true "package deal". Dave is always contacting me about diet and what I am doing on the days that I am not training with him in terms of diet and additional cardio. Dave has changed my life to the degree that I am not sure even he can comprehend.

We work together as a team

My fitness goal was to get to the next level as it relates to building strength and getting lean. I realized that I needed a trainer to supply me with the right tools and knowledge on how to do that from both a weight lifting and nutrition perspective. Dave Janik has been able to do that for me. We work together as a team and I'm achieving my goals each day. I've never felt better and look forward to every Janik workout.
