I found turnfit on facebook and followed their Instagram. I started to research and dig in deep to find out what exactly David was offering. After a few quick messages on Instagram we booked my first session.  Not going to lie I was quite nervous as I am very out of shape at the moment. I was feeling very self conscious but I know I need help to get my body and mind back into shape. I met with David in Kitsilano at the gym where he trains out of. He is very kind and compassionate I knew this within our first 5 minutes of chatting. David clearly explained what the session consisted of and checked in to make sure I was comfortable and this was something that would work for me.  He listened to my background story which I will post in the TurnFit Facebook Group for our members to get to know me better. He listened without judgment and shared his own struggles. I felt very comfortable and welcome at his gym.  After we discussed everything David did a full 24 point muscle quality test checking for muscle imbalance. After that we moved to the gym floor and he showed me simple steps to correct my imbalances. He explained how to get to achieve goals my resetting my mind and body to healthy mode.  The information was simple and I didn't feel overwhelmed. I now have joined his program and use the Turnfit App to track my progress at home. I am so excited to launch my fitness journey! Thank you, David and team TurnFit! read more

SHIVANI is my Personal Trainer at TURNFIT. Words are hard to express the feelings and changes I am experiencing. I have been with TurnFit Since February 1st 2021 and I am down 31lbs in weight and have gone from a size 18/20 to a size 14! Shivani has taken me through so many progressions with all the workouts. She has an amazing understanding and is sensitive to where I am at, and my potential to go further. With the Leg Press machine I can lift 100lbs. And recently with the Dead Lift we adjusted the weight to 95lbs. Of course, with Diaphragmatic breathing,Core, Posture and Form. I love the combination of stretches and strengthening. Shivani is outstanding at knowing how to integrate it all. For me, I see the results The shape of my body is changing. I am looking forward to the next progression but I know there is something more. There is an X factor. Incredible. Thank you Shivani for understanding me and your amazing sense of humour and how you make all the workouts FUN!!! Thank you David and TurnFit of course.

I was introduced to Turnfit by David Turnbull who at the time convinced me to come in for an introductory session with him and Turnfit. The first session was wonderful as David asked me all sorts of questions including what I was hoping to get out of my workouts with them. Nearing the close of the first session David told me that if I continued with them he would partner me with one of the trainers on his team. This is one of the biggest benefits of Turnfit, they have a trainer to match every type of person and personality. Instead of a trainer trying to take all clients for himself, David was more concerned with making sure my experience matches my personality. I couldn't be happier with his choice! It was a perfect match for me and watching some of the other Turnfit trainers I can see why he was such a good match for me but that one of the other trainers would be a better match for someone else. If you are looking to get fit with a training team that truly cares look no further than Turnfit! read more

Chris Van Lieshout I decided to try the 6 week on-line program with David from May 28 to July 8. I needed to get into exercising and eat healthier and get into better shape. The first day cardio exercise took an hour for me to do and what a tough workout that was. But after a few weeks it only took me about 34 minutes. Practice makes it better ! After exercising I had a ton of energy and felt great. I had to log everything I ate and learned a lot about the nutrition facts on the food that I was eating and the amount of calories I was taking in. After 6 weeks I lost 9 pounds and a total of 12 inches. I was so amazed at how I did thanks to David's expertise coaching. I needed this Kick-start motivation and am very thankful for David's encouragement and help to get me feeling great everyday and to keep fit for life. Thanks again Coach David. read more

I've weight trained for over 20 years and have never used the service of a personal trainer until I met David and his team at TurnFit. Over the years my workouts had grown stale and and they were slowly losing steam. My body needed change, my mind desired stimulation and my spirit craved inspiration. Immediately David and his team helped revive and rejuvenate my workouts. His team member Deborah recharged my old, moderate boring workouts into intense, fast paced fun fitness sessions. The transformation I've experienced since investing in TurnFit has been a good reminder that you can't put a price on health and wellness. For me fitness truly is the spark that creates a zest for life. Thank you David for having a big enough vision that you continue to pour your heart and soul into the wellbeing of all your clients. read more

I'd never met with a personal trainer until meeting with David, and while fitness can be an intimidating thing, David's friendly demeanour and outlook really took the edge off. What I like about TurnFit is the knowledge the team has and how the idea is about alignment, fixing the small things to help with the big things, and doing what's best for your body. I have a chronic back injury, pain in my right knee, and various other pains and David gave me tips about how to fix my posture, fix the way I'm walking, ways to stretch and relax my muscles in a way that helps these injuries and corrects my body and muscle alignment to prevent future injury. I would definitely recommend TurnFit if you're looking for people who care about the building blocks of fitness and how to achieve your goals while treating your body well. read more

I was so impressed by TurnFit's team . . . After my first session I felt they knew my body and my goals because they were educating me on technics and explaining how these different movements will help with my posture and strengthening goals (and it FELT right!) I've always been reluctant to goto a personal trainer because I thought I would just be put through the run of the mill (pun intended) to my surprise we did exercises that I felt actually benefited my body, mind and energy level. I honestly feel the session was tailored to me, and I'm just so impressed how they were able to do that, based off my first visit. Based of my experience so far I strongly recommend Turnfit. At this point I am so motivated to continue building my strengthen/posture and relationship with this team. read more

Incredible trainers who transformed my lifestyle. Although pricey, they offer comprehensive support and I prefer the one-on-one sessions where I personally connected with my trainer (Shivani) and she paid close attention to my form and details, which I really needed to be confidently working out by myself. She took my personal limits in range of motion into consideration and designed rehab + custom workouts around them. I love her focus on functional movements, since those help my daily life as a busy healthcare professional. I now look forward to going to the gym 5+ times a week and enjoy seeing my progress. My body shape has improved significantly and so did my posture and diet. Possibly the best investment I have made for myself in my entire life. read more

After my first session with David, I immediately saw a difference in my posture and back pain. My muscles were less tense and I learned how to use them correctly for walking and standing. Most importantly, I was able to take a longer walk home, pain-free! I keep using his exercises regularly and it is making a huge difference. I used to take painkillers for back pain and headaches. Now, I can usually get away with exercising to make pain go away. David has a very friendly yet professional approach. He supports you when you need it and he is tough when he senses that you can push yourself further. His background knowledge of the different muscle groups and of how physical and mental health are connected is excellent. read more

David from Turnfit came highly recommend by one of my friends which has seen great results while working with him. Even though I worked out regularly and ate relatively clean, I didn't have the body that reflected the time I spent in the kitchen nor the gym which is why I reached out to David. He put me on a personalized meal and workout plan and has continued to tailor it to my goals and dietary changes. David is very personable and has always responded quickly to any questions that I've had. You can tell he truly enjoys his work as a personal trainer and wants to see his clients succeed. So far I am happy with my progress and will continue to work with David! read more

I have met a lot of personal trainers in my life and David is absolutely one of the best ones I have ever met! He not only focus on helping us loose weight and build muscles but also support us change our bad eating habits into a healthy one. But what I like the most about him is that he focus on helping women and he understands a busy mom who doesn't have time to workout 4 hours a week. He designs our programs according to our busy schedule and the best of all is that we can workout from our homes, or from the closest gym from our house, anywhere with his 24/7 assistance if we have any questions. Thank you so much, David for supporting our mom community!! read more

I have had the pleasure to train and be coached by David a number of times over the past year. David is by far the best trainer I have come across since moving to Vancouver.

I've always appreciated David for his REALISTIC approach to training. He is very encouraging, motivating, and knowledgeable about what he does!

I would recommend this company to everyone. You wont be disappointed. They design a workout suitable to meet your requirements, plus encourage you every step of the way. If it wasn't for Deb I wouldn't have gone back. Their the best I have ever trained with. Gwen D read more

I am so happy I decided to get started on my fitness journey with TurnFit! I was initially apprehensive about going to a personal trainer as it was my first time meeting one. However, David was so welcoming and kind towards me that I felt comfortable sharing my experiences and concerns. I am confident that I will be able to achieve my fitness goals because I know I am getting the best guidance for my fitness goals. Also, the muscle quality test provides some great insights about not only your body but also about your lifestyle. I was surprised to see how impactful everyday behaviors can have on the body! read more

As someone who is very active, and who takes their training seriously I know the difference between a really good trainer and someone who shows up and picks random exercises for their clients to do. TurnFit, specifically David is a top tier trainer who designs workouts that are unique to each individual in order to help them achieve their personal goals. I would recommend David and his team to anyone looking for a personal trainer. Both seasoned gym goers & people who are new to fitness will benefit greatly from the time spend with the folks at TurnFit. Rob read more

I was incredibly impressed with David and his approach to personal training. He dedicated time to walking me through the fundamentals of movement and this made all the difference to my workout routines. I really appreciated his knowledge of the human body and functional movement. What I like most is the incorporation of mental wellness into his programs. He adresses the psychological factors that lead people to not want to move their bodies or go to the gym. A truly holistic approach to personal training. I highly recommend David Turnbull of Tunfit. read more

I highly recommend TurnFit. I was instantly impressed with David's professional yet friendly demeanour, extremely knowledgable and experienced/skill based background and accommodating attitude. The tips he gave me in just the first initial consultation have been so beneficial and I still actually do them to this day! I love his online training programs which is what I have used in the past and am using today. As a busy Mom it gives me a lot of flexibility and freedom to do what I can through out my day. Thank you David and the team at TurnFit! read more

I had such an amazing experience with David from Turnfit. He was able to give me so much insightful and helpful information that I am super excited to put into practice. I am already feeling more confident and have felt a lot better in my last two work outs using his feedback to better my form and posture during my exercises. I would so highly recommend him and Turnfit just because there was a world of things I was doing wrong before that just from one session I have been able to correct a lot of my habits and be more mindful. read more

It's amazing how just modifying my posture slightly I'm able engage my glutes so much more effectively and this allows me to find proper engagement when performing all exercises. I've noticed an increase in my strength already because I'm able to perform exercises with the correct form. I recommend everyone go check these guys out even if it's just for their assessment. Right now I know they have the assessment for only $33. Usually $270 and also a free month of online training. Use promo code LeighlaC read more
