When I first met Dave I was as crooked and twisted with sore muscles and I hobbled around because of years without training compounded by a car accident. Dave has been instrumental in helping me recover from that car accident which left me with whiplash, a compressed and damaged knee and ongoing concussion symptoms (like poor balance and coordination). Two months later I’m straight and stronger and walk normally now! Dave challenged me physically and mentally using core strength exercises, resistance training and the creative use of wobble board exercises etc. I have been surprised by how much improvement I have gained in such a short period of time. I would not have got anywhere near the results I have gained without Dave gently, but firmly ‘upping the bar’ at each session. At no point did I feel that anything we did was aggravating my injuries. If you are looking for a trainer that will challenge you and push you beyond your limits whilst achieving excellent results, then I confidently recommend Dave to you. Anita Evans

Bruce was 130 kg and over 27% BF! -
Sick of feeling tired and out of shape he contacted Paul, with the help of a nutritionist and a tailored weight loss program from Paul at Workout, Bruce began an 18 month journey of discovery and after 12 months had lost nearly 30 kg and was down to 16% BF! Incredible what consistency and smart lifestyle tailored training can achieve, and injury free too!
To reward himself Bruce went to Vietnam and did a 2 Week cycle tour, riding over 80 km per day sometimes. Something that would not have seemed possible 12 months earlier and all because he pushed send, so why are you still waiting contact Paul now.

Three years ago I had a serious accident skiing in the States, which left me almost debilitated by back pain. Despite my best attempts to stay fit, I had some serious deconditioning associated with protecting an injury for three years. I was facing a spinal fusion, which being an Anaesthetist I wasn't that keen on. A friend (a spinal surgeon) suggested I see Dave. Over the last 9 months Dave has worked wonders with my Core strength. The results have been absolutely amazing. I am now 99% cured, and have no plans to go under the knife anytime soon. Frankly now I just see Dave because I like getting my arse kicked regularly!!!! Nadia Forbes

Deanne was also overweight and wanted to know how to get the training needed to reach her goal weight, although she was using a trainer already the results were just not coming to her so she started to train with Paul at Workout.
After getting great results from a boxing and resistance program from Paul, she lost over 15 kilos and as a bonus for all her efforts, needed to go shopping for a new wardrobe.

The Power of Exercise & Dave, My Personal Trainer Extraordinaire!
At the beginning of 2008 I used to weigh over 128kg! With Dave Margison’s expert guidance each week during this year I have transformed myself. In just under 12 months I have lost a whopping 38.4kg and am down to a low 90kg for me! How did I do this? I dieted sensibly and worked out weekly with Dave on a one on one basis.
My weekly training regime looks like this:
- 5 x 1 hour walks
- 3 - 4 x Strength training sessions
- 1 x Boot Camp
I am testimony to the real possibility that you can change your body and your life through healthy lifestyle changes and a well designed exercise regime. Seeing Dave for a weekly session has been critical to my success and ensuring my body kept pace with the weight loss I was achieving. I won’t pretend it’s been easy, but the hard work is worth every drop of sweat along the way.
Ladies (especially) please take note. Dave will push you beyond what you thought possible and you will achieve such great results that you never thought possible. Just be prepared to work hard for it. With Dave pushing me to stretch myself every week I have achieved the following great benefits this year.
Key Benefits of Training with Dave Margison:
- Developing awesome muscle tone as the fat started to disappear is an incredibly rewarding result of strength training.
- Developing my physical strength to levels I didn’t know I was capable of achieving. OK, this is the obvious result from strength training, but it rocks big time!
- Sustaining a great and positive attitude. You can’t beat those endorphins and the camaraderie of shared success.
- Having someone to be accountable to beyond myself. I had to motivate myself to get up in the dark every weekday morning all winter long and keep moving. Some days it was the knowledge that Dave just expected it of me that got my butt out of bed and moving.
- Hanging in there with my weights programme when the going was tough and I was low on motivation. Just try saying no to Dave and see what happens! Hysterical!
- Plus this investment has contributed significantly to my ongoing success towards my goal. Now I burn kilojoules even when I am sleeping! Yay!
- I’ve started running later this year which I would never have thought possible and am actually enjoying it!
I chose Dave because I knew he was tough and that he would expect great things of me. I find this combination of traits inspiring. I love and hate him in equal parts depending on whether I am in the middle of my ab workout or not! Nah, I love him really! He is the BEST Personal Trainer I could have asked for. Yay!
Thanks Dave. You really are the BEST!
