I'm so happy to be working out with YaYa again. I first started working out with her back in 2019…read moreafter the end of a 14 year long relationship. I was sad, depressed, and out of shape. Not only did YaYa help transform my body but I truly attribute our workouts to the change in my mental health that first year. Due to the pandemic, we weren't able to work out together any more and I built out a gym out at my home. While convenient, working out alone just wasn't the same. So, we're back at it again! I've had other trainers in the past with the attitude of, "it's my way or nothing". I have a foot issue YaYa is always able modify exercises around or find a new move all together when I'm just not feeling it. I really trust her to take care of me and my body. Once you start you'll soon realize she really knows her stuff! And it doesn't hurt that she's fun to talk to, always shows up with a positive attitude, and never makes you feel bad about your body, fitness level, mood, etc. If you're on the fence about it, I highly recommend giving her and personal training a chance. And for reference, I'm a 42 year old female.

She put together weekly workouts for me and helped me maintain good form and build muscle. She is so great at offering modifications and recommendations for stretches that can support any aches and pains I may mention during our sessions. I no longer have back pain and am feeling stronger in my 40s than I did in my 20s. Danielle also helped me prepare for a major surgery. I took advantage of her health coaching to focus on stress reduction, balance my hormones, and build a healthy and strong body with Whole Foods. She's a wealth of knowledge on the best products to support a toxin free life. Scheduling is a breeze and her studio is comfortable and clean. Having a fitness and wellness coach on your team is the best way to stay accountable for taking care of yourself.

However, that 3 hours makes all the difference. The owners Jim and Cathy are wonderful. The trainers past and current (Joe, Roxanne and Liz) are fantastic.

I could not recommend Seascape Village Fitness any more highly. See you in class. Say Hi to Ann at the front desk. She's got great hair and a warm smile!

If you like being harassed, cancel an intro class you signed up for and don't rebook immediately…read more I was excited to try this place, but I had to cancel the intro class i signed up for and then had a life change that's prevented me from rebooking. Now they won't stop calling and texting me to "help" me rebook, because, you know, I probably forgot how to used a computer between the first class I scheduled and now. EDIT: In response, it's the recurring phone calls and voicemails that need to stop. And as of 10/19 they are STILL calling me. So yes, this is harrassment.

I did not even know I was in a place of being a victim, or feeling defeated. When I hired him, I had gone through a lot of hardships in my life, and my health. I have grown so much in the 6 plus years since hiring him and finding my way through my life. I do not want to say therapy is bad for us/me. But, it did not help me solve my life issue. My life issue was being a doormat, feeling overly responsible for others problems and not knowing how to be bold. I remember one day he taught me how to say no in a way that was bold and solid without apology. I had previously not had the scripts or skills or boldness to share with others how I felt or what I did not like, I am a totally different person today. Found my feet and my voice. Thank you David! Sad to hear you are no longer a life coach! We never agreed on diet as I eat meat based and he was vegan but he taught me a phenomenal amount about communication and confidence. THANK YOU!

I feel empowered with a fresh set of tools and language to understand how to be my best self. It's not an easy thing to do. I have become an expert at crafting the masks I wear. They kept me safe, or so I thought. David was there to assist me in recognizing that these precautions I had manufactured were really just holding me back. He presses me to see the "realities" in my life that are so often rooted in falsehoods - and boy do I resist! If you are serious about peeling back all the layers and finding that authentic you then you should give David a call. It's now or never.
